Military Life in 1960: A Skilled Military Doctor Wins Over a Cold, Powerful Man

Qi Sui, a cardiothoracic surgeon, was born into the Qi family as its youngest daughter.

After dying young in a hospital dispute, all she wanted was to live a peaceful, uneventful life.

Her mother was a battlefield medic, and as a child, Qi Sui grew up among the wounded and the shellfire.

Watching her mother and countless medical workers rush to the front lines, Qi Sui could no longer sit still.

She made up her mind: she would follow in her mother's footsteps!

In the 1960s, medicines were rudimentary and thoracoscopic techniques underdeveloped. Qi Sui resolutely picked up her scalpel. "Everyone, stand back. This can be done minimally invasively!"

After the operation, Qi Sui sat in the break room, her hands trembling a little.

Her childhood sweetheart and husband, Ye Tingzhang, pushed open the door. "Doctor Qi, are your hands shaking because you put too much force into slapping me away this morning?"

Qi Sui looked at the clear handprint on his handsome face and reached out toward it again. "How about you let me blow on it for you?"

And so, in the resource-starved 1960s, a rising star in medicine began to shine.

Qi Sui and her colleagues stayed at their posts, going wherever patients needed them most. With every step, they charted the territory of a doctor's selfless devotion, and along the way, she found a beautiful love.
