Qingfeng Moyuan Embarks on the Path of Medicine

Set against the national "Thousand Counties Project," which aims to strengthen the overall capabilities of county-level hospitals, this novel focuses on Yingjiang County People's Hospital, which has been placed under the management of the People's Hospital of Biejun Province and aims to become a Level Three, or even a Grade Three Class A, hospital.

The story follows the development of the hospital's oncology department. Zhang Moyuan, an associate chief physician specializing in radiotherapy, is recruited by Dean Ni Yibo, who was dispatched from the managing hospital to Yingjiang County People's Hospital. He arrives as the department's new leader, determined to build the department and treat patients, standardize oncology care, and establish a radiotherapy center.

But he soon becomes mired in a power struggle between local forces and outside management. Local faction secretary Wang Qiang and hematology department director Wan Gongcheng repeatedly undermine him, leaving him trapped: patient referrals are monopolized, his performance pay is squeezed, and he is stripped of his say. Amid departmental infighting, covert power struggles, and distorted rules, Zhang Moyuan holds fast to his original calling as a doctor and uses his expertise to fight injustice. He endures one blow after another, from rigged assessments and malicious complaints to being removed from his post.

The novel lays bare the silent warfare of working in county-level healthcare, vividly portraying the difficult choices and steadfast commitment of doctors caught between ideals and reality, power and conscience.
