A Pioneer of Surgery Found in an Old Building

No romance | Cross-era master and apprentice | Modern medicine | Republican-era mysteries | A touch of the supernatural | Wu Di is a timid but warm-hearted rookie medical resident. When he opens a surgical notebook in a century-old building, a man of elegant bearing appears in surprise. “You can see me?” His name is Shen Jiu An, the most gifted surgeon of the Republican era. At thirty-five, he performed China's first pancreaticoduodenectomy, and his soul has been bound to the old building for seventy years. He has growing pains to work through, and an unfulfilled wish. They hit it off at once, and Wu Di's days are now spent being put through the wringer by a devilish mentor, while at night he's criticized by a male ghost. When a crisis hits the operating room, A Jiu possesses Wu Di and amazes everyone. Afterward, Wu Di clutches his stomach. “Why do I get period cramps after you've possessed me?!” A Jiu: “So delicate.” While organizing the history of medicine, Wu Di discovers that A Jiu has a photographic memory, yet can't recall why he died so young. Who stole his memories? Wu Di: “It's a ghost.” The first time A Jiu sees a modern operating room, he falls silent for a long while. “What's the average life expectancy now?” “Seventy-nine.” “And the maternal mortality rate?” “A little over ten per hundred thousand.” “Infant mortality?” “Four per thousand.” A Jiu smiles through his tears. “I think Heaven must have woken me so I could see all this.” Only later does Wu Di learn that the year A Jiu died, the average Chinese person didn't live to forty. His greatest regret was that he never got to operate again. This prosperous age is just as you hoped it would be. * This is a work of fiction. Any resemblance to actual events is purely coincidental.
