   This book by a female writer from the Republican era, volumes two, three, and four, is absolutely amazing! I've recommended it countless times. Humanity may be humble and insignificant, but when the world is on the verge of collapse, there will always be those who step forward, unafraid of being shattered to pieces. A single story cannot change the current state of society, but even the faintest glimmer of light can illuminate the darkness. Because light is unstoppable. Suffering can indeed temper one's willpower; to persevere and turn a bad hand into a good one is truly admirable. But to keep playing a bad hand in an unfair, cheating game is simply foolish. She wants to light a lamp for those numb in the darkness. A single spark can start a prairie fire. "Someone must always be the first to forge a path so that others can follow." Mingxi smiled at Wen Shixin and said softly, "Though there be thousands, I will go; I will die nine times without regret." Peace is established by martyrs, but no martyr enjoys peace. "How can I allow others to sleep soundly beside my bed? Studying medicine is for saving lives, not for being bound by rules and regulations. Although humanity is humble and insignificant, when the building is about to collapse, there will always be some who step forward, unafraid of being shattered to pieces. One story cannot change the current social situation, but even the weakest glimmer can illuminate the darkness. Because light cannot be stopped. Suffering can indeed temper one's willpower. To be dealt a bad hand and still persevere and turn it into a good game is truly admirable. But to be dealt a bad hand in an unfair game and still keep playing is just being a fool. She wants to light a lamp for those who are numb in the darkness. A single spark can start a prairie fire. "Someone has to take the lead and pave a way so that others can follow." Mingxi smiled at Wen Shixin and said softly, "Even if there are thousands of people, I will go, and I will not regret it even if I die nine times." "Peace is established by martyrs, but no martyr has ever enjoyed peace. How can I allow someone else to sleep soundly beside my bed? I study medicine to save lives, not to be bound by rules and regulations."
