Even before the Year of the Horse, I have relatives and friends calling me constantly. They come to me for no other reason than for their father and mother, or because their brothers, sisters, classmates and comrades have health problems and need medical treatment or hospitalization. That kind of urgency leaves no room for negotiation. Of course, some people are more polite and say a few warm and polite words; others go straight to the alley and make rigid demands, such as which experts to find and which days to arrange beds, without any discussion. They didn't think about me at all, as if the hospital was run by my own family. In recent years, the number of outpatient visits in the three affiliated hospitals of my medical university has increased year by year, month by day, and day by day. It is difficult for patients whose lives are not hanging by a thread to be admitted to the hospital in one step.

In October 1934, in the Hubei-Henan-Anhui base areas of Yingshan, Shangcheng and Taihu counties that were encroached by the Kuomintang troops, the rice fields should have been golden ears of grain, but now they looked like withered yellow weeds after a drought; the scattered villages were so desolate that it was unbelievable. A few months ago it was a vibrant red base area, but now there is little smoke from cooking, the sound of chickens and dogs is rarely heard, and young men and women are rarely seen. In such a deserted countryside, two young monks appeared.

Guo Xing is a well-known plastic surgery expert and serves as the director of the plastic surgery department in a well-known large hospital. Anyone who is a doctor knows that the shift handover every morning is very important. As director, Guo Xing has to arrange the department's work for the day and discuss important surgeries and patients. When the sunlight filled half of the table, several professors from the department walked in one after another. Guo Xing gently cleared his throat and began to speak in a joking manner: "People are afraid of being famous, and pigs are afraid of getting strong. Since Limingzhu's successful face transplant, reporters from various media have been chasing for interviews, and there is an endless stream of people who come to see the strange things. Domestic and foreign academic magazines have called to request articles, and the American "Whole Eyes" Old John, the editor-in-chief of Shape Magazine, called me at around 11 o'clock last night and asked me to write a review to introduce my experience in plastic surgery. John lost his dignity this time and nagged me on the phone for a long time. If it weren't for the fear of affecting Sino-US relations, I would have hung up the phone. "
