A Woman Military Doctor in the 1950S

April 1950 Widow Xu Hehua finds a skinny, bony eight-year-old girl in the hills behind the village. Xu Hehua can’t read. Since peach blossoms are in bloom behind her house, she simply names the girl Taohua, Peach Blossom. The neighbor, Doctor Cao, is an educated man. He calls the name vulgar and says that since April is late spring, she should be called Wanchun, Late Spring. Xu Hehua has always admired educated people and knows how to take advantage of an opportunity. Using the goodwill from having named the girl, she shamelessly sends her adopted daughter to learn a trade under Doctor Cao. A few years later, she even manages to bring home the only promising son of the Cao family as her son-in-law. Now that’s impressive. * Xu Wanchun is a clinical medical student who went straight from her bachelor’s to her master’s and doctorate, then completed residency training. Just as she finally becomes a resident physician, an accident transmigrates her to 1950. She becomes a penniless burden whose parents are both dead and who has been abandoned by her paternal uncle. Looking at her scrawny body and thinking that it’ll be another thirty years before China opens up and reforms... After ten years of grinding through medical school, this doctor is ready to cry. Luckily, there’s always a way out. Her adoptive mother loves her. School, an apprenticeship, food, and clothes: her adoptive mother has everything taken care of. If that’s the case, going to college all over again should be fine. As for her fiancé? He’s not important... * Cao Jingliang joined the revolution at sixteen. In his second year away from home, his parents wrote to tell him he had a little apprentice-sister. Cao Jingliang was grateful that she was helping look after his parents. In his seventh year away, his parents wrote to say his little apprentice-sister had become his fiancée. Cao Jingliang shook his head with a laugh and didn’t take it seriously. The girl was only fifteen. In his fourteenth year away, his fiancée showed up at the military district hospital with a letter from his parents and became his colleague. As the pretty young woman cheerfully called him “Senior Brother,” Director Cao, usually so mild-mannered and composed, felt his handsome face flush red beneath his white coat.
