Thanks to Qimao for the opportunity. Wishing Qimao lasting success!

Around the year 2000, a wave of doctors seeking work in the city swept through Dongshou County's healthcare system. Some doctors at township health centers were willing to give up their positions just to move to the city. The clinical services at Yinma River Health Center took a serious hit. Villagers began to doubt the center's medical standards, enrollment in cooperative medical insurance kept falling, and the center ranked last in comprehensive evaluations year after year...

At this point, Song Hui, Zhang Feng, Lin Yue, and Sun Hao all gave up their jobs in the city and went against the tide to work at Yinma River Health Center. They hoped to make a difference at the grassroots level, but the locals had little faith in them. They thought these "pretty ornaments" from the city couldn't handle the hardships of rural life and would be back in the city in a few days. But the four of them wrote a magnificent waltz with their youth, changing everything.

Who says city folk can't handle the hardships of rural life?

Who says villagers can't enjoy the benefits of urban healthcare?

Who says this era lacks dreams, conviction, dedication, and a sense of responsibility?
