top student at medical school

With greater ability comes greater responsibility and a broader perspective.

Fang Ziye is an associate professor, associate chief physician, and researcher. He is currently the academic leader of orthopedics in Hubei Province and one of the well-known experts and researchers in the field of orthopedics and surgery in China. Fang Ziye's status is not low.

Fang Ziye's regular annual salary, even without performing surgery, is 1.8 million yuan after tax.

But this money is only a small part; there are other subsidies and national-level scientific research awards, which are the main source of income. If you also include patent royalties, Fang Ziye has truly achieved financial freedom.

Currently, Fang Ziye's savings have reached 20 million...

Actually, an annual income of ten million is just a little bit of money in Wuhan, and it might not even rank in the top 100,000 in the whole of China. However, Fang Ziye has a very high level of authority.

Therefore, Fang Ziye's field of vision is different from that of ordinary people.

The video recording Fang Ziye just saw was of a child who had already passed away.

Her name is Xiaolonglong, and she was born in the Year of the Dragon. She is one year older than Fang Xiyan.

Logically, she should be in kindergarten this year, but after her mother brought her back to Earth from the Starry Sky Kingdom, she felt that the 'filth' of Earth was not good enough for her, so she returned to the Starry Sky Kingdom.

At six months old, he was diagnosed with "multiple osteosarcomas throughout his body"!
The video begins with her arriving at the hospital for her first visit; she is struggling.

The following video is from a year after she came to the hospital; she's running away...

Finally, she passed away peacefully, leaving behind this video, another little boy's cornea, and organs from several other children...

Her mission may be to become an angel who saves lives, but saving lives comes at a price and with pain.

So after leaving her only with suffering in the mortal world, she ascended to heaven on a cloud.

Osteosarcoma has many subtypes, and the younger the child, the faster it progresses after being diagnosed, making it one of the most malignant tumors...

Fang Ziye's expression remained unchanged as he continued watching another video.

"A nine-year-old boy, wearing a hospital gown, is diligently doing his homework."

"He is very thin..." This is a narration video.

"Actually, he wasn't doing his homework. Homework and exam scores didn't mean much to him..."

As the video slowly scrolled on, Fang Ziye finally saw what he had written carefully: "Mom and Dad, I love you so much."

"Mom and Dad, I can't bear to leave you..."

A nine-year-old child understands nothing. He knows almost nothing but studying, and he can't bear to leave his parents as long as they love him. He doesn't understand anything else.

……

These authentic medical records were not sent to Fang Ziye by others; Fang Ziye actively sought them out himself.

While the combination of microcirculation therapy and chemotherapy can lead to good prognoses for many bone tumor patients, it has little effect on some tumors that are more common in children.

According to current statistics, the mortality rate of childhood bone tumors is not much better than before the implementation of combined chemotherapy regimens.

Although it is a special type of bone tumor, tumors take away the lives of many little angels every year. In China, on average, about 100 out of every million children die from tumors.

Approximately 2.5 children under the age of 15 are diagnosed with malignant tumors each year!
The incidence rate is not high compared to adults, but the rate of development and progression of tumors in children is faster than in adults!

Actually, pediatrics has nothing to do with Fang Ziye. Before he met Xiyan, Fang Ziye didn't pay much attention to pediatrics.

But Fang Xiyan is Fang Ziye's daughter. How can a child not get sick and be hospitalized?

Fang Ziye witnessed three children die while hospitalized. Children are innocent and impulsive, and they didn't die so obediently. When they were getting injections in the ward, they struggled and were covered in blood...

Fang Ziye may not have such lofty sentiments, but as a father, he truly couldn't bear to see such a scene.

Therefore, recently, Fang Ziye has been watching some relevant short videos to see if he can lean towards the field of pediatric oncology and come up with a better treatment plan.

There was no other reason; it was simply because Fang Ziye encountered it.

If Fang Ziye hadn't taken Xiyan to the pediatric ward for hospitalization, Fang Ziye wouldn't have noticed.

If Fang Ziye's parents were hospitalized somewhere, Fang Ziye might have witnessed the elderly person's "suffering"!
But his parents were in good health, so Fang Ziye's focus was limited to what he saw and heard...

"Daddy, daddy."

"Shall we go to the competition? There's a competition over there, and the prize is a really, really big plush toy." Fang Xiyan ran over at some point and said innocently.

Fang Ziye quickly turned off his phone, not wanting Fang Xiyan to see the video he was watching.

She was still a child, and his own child at that, so Fang Ziye didn't want her to experience these unpredictable things in life too early.

"Okay, sure!" Fang Ziye stood up.

An hour later, Fang Ziye said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Xiyan, Dad couldn't beat that uncle. He ran too fast. Dad lost."

Fang Xiyan was a little disappointed, and secretly watched with envy as another little boy took away the big doll she wanted, saying, "He runs faster than a rabbit, humph!"

"It's just a running contest. If it were a contest of healing and saving lives, Dad could beat all the other dads with one hand!"

Fang Xiyan knew that Fang Ziye had tried his best, but Fang Ziye was not good at sprinting, which is why he only got third place.

"Xiyan, how about Daddy helps you build a sandcastle? Let's get the buckets and dig in the sand." Fang Ziye knew that to deal with a child, you had to distract them.

"Okay, okay!" Children are easy to fool and coax.

As long as they are not spoiled, and they are determined not to do things, they will not be so unreasonable.

Fang Xiyan was having a great time, sticking his butt out, covered in sand, and laughing like a fool.

Similarly, Fang Ziye, Fang Nan, Liang Xia, and the others were also covered in sand; Fang Xiyan's shovel wasn't just for himself.

However, Xi Yan was quite disciplined; she only poured sand on Fang Ziye and the others, and obediently didn't pour it on anyone else...

At this moment, Fang Xiyan made another friend, a little boy who was a year older than Fang Xiyan. The two of them were building a model using Fang Xiyan's tools.

Fang Xiyan was still instructing the other person to squeeze the sand in so that it would form a tighter shape.

Under the setting sun, the innocence of two little children can melt away one's world.

Because Fang Ziye's world is only the world he can see, and he cannot empathize with the perspectives of others.

On the beach, many children were playing, and everyone was having a great time.

Of course, the crying babies also cried their hearts out, and the stubborn babies who wanted to splash in the deeper parts of the water were held firmly in their parents' hands and kept in check to their hearts' content...

At that moment, Fang Ziye felt certain.

The next research topic is related to childhood cancer. Even though this topic may not have the same economic benefits, its sociological significance is unmatched by many other topics...

Xi Yan got tired of playing and fell asleep while hanging on Fang Ziye.

Fang Ziye wanted to give her to his maternal grandmother and paternal grandmother, but they wouldn't allow it, so Aunt Min Limin drove a few people home.

……

That evening, after Jie Han and Lan Tianlu finished their surgery, they rushed over to have dinner.

After washing his hands upon entering, Jie Han politely asked while changing his shoes, "Aunt Min, have you used up the food allowance I left? It should be almost gone by now..." After Jie Han was transferred to the new hospital campus, Fang Ziye's home became his canteen.

While ordering takeout is certainly convenient, he didn't particularly refuse Lan Tianluo and Fang Ziye's frequent invitations. However, it's important to keep clear accounts even between close brothers.

Even though I often freeload meals, I still need to split the cost of food.

Jie Han and Fang Ziye are not childhood friends, but fellow apprentices. However, the three of them, Lan Tianluo and Jie Han, have been through a lot together. When they first met, they were just ordinary doctors. Later, they worked together, exchanging resources and tinkering with this and that, which led to their current achievements.

“Jiehan, you don’t need to be so polite. The dried goods you often buy are enough to cover your food expenses,” Fang Ziye said.

"No, I can't just bring one mouth. Shanshan will be coming over later too. And this isn't something that will happen in a day or two, Auntie. If you don't accept this, Shanshan and I will have to order takeout." Jie Han pretended to leave.

After graduating with his doctorate, Jie Han married Huang Shan.

Huang Shan is currently pursuing a doctorate in law. After graduation, she will most likely stay at the law department of Seoul National University to teach, rather than go out to become a lawyer.

As they were talking, Huang Shan arrived.

What takeout are you ordering?

Wearing a little suit, she was petite, and very cleverly carried a large doll in her hand.

"Xiyan, Xiyan, look what your aunt brought you!" Huang Shan called out as she entered the room.

"Wow, it's Peppa Pig..." Fang Xiyan saw the pink Peppa Pig at first glance, and she wished she could get off the stool immediately and hug Peppa Pig.

"Good boy, the doll was given to you by Aunt Shanshan. Eat properly." Luo Tingzhu ordered sternly.

There are rules for eating, which were also set by Fang Ziye and Luo Tingzhu for Fang Xiyan.

Huang Shan then greeted everyone one by one: "Uncle Fang, Aunt Liang, Aunt Min..."

"Shanshan's here too, then we can start eating," Liang Xia said.

"Just now Jie Han said he wanted to give us more money for food, but I said no need. You often buy dolls and toys for Xi Yan, and that costs money too."

Huang Shan said, "The toys I bought for Xiyan are gifts, and the food expenses are food expenses."

"Auntie, it's already very kind of you not to charge us a processing fee. This hot meal is much healthier and tastier than takeout."

"Brother Fang, sister-in-law!" Huang Shan has an outgoing personality and has lost the naivety of her younger days. Now she is a very mature woman, more dignified and generous than before.

It's worth mentioning that Jie Han bought the house together with Fang Ziye; Fang Ziye lived in 2501, and Jie Han lived in 2403. Lan Tianlu's house was in 2402.

Fang Ziye's house was a canteen, Jie Han's house was a mahjong parlor, and Lan Tianluo's house was a teahouse.

After all, it seems that once Fang Ziye arrives at the new hospital, he may never return.

But it's also good. Since Fang Ziye can act as a regional leader, he doesn't have to go back to compete with his master Yuan Weihong. Fang Ziye has no desire for power, so he can peacefully drag a department along and work on research projects.

"Huang Shan, are you graduating soon too?" Luo Tingzhu asked.

"Yes, to be precise, I've already graduated. Now I'm just doing the mundane tasks of helping my professors with the completion of their research projects. Of course, there are also some procedures to complete for staying on as a faculty member."

"Summer vacation will be here soon..." Huang Shan looked forward to it.

She will be a lecturer in the law department, which has summer breaks every year.

……

After dinner, Fang Xiyan was taken out for a walk, while Luo Tingzhu and Huang Shan went to chat about shopping on the weekend.

Downstairs, at Lan Tianluo's home.

Jie Han scratched his head: "Tian Luo, I shouldn't have asked so much, but what exactly are you and Tong Hua planning to do? After all these years of agonizing over this, you still haven't come to a conclusion?"

Lan Tianlu tilted his head: "Our values ​​didn't align, so we broke up completely last month! And yesterday, we completely broke up."

"I am now a nobleman," Lan Tianluo said with a smile.

Fang Ziye is thirty-four years old this year. Lan Tianluo is four years younger than Fang Ziye and has also passed the age of thirty, so she is not considered old.

"How did things get to this point?" Jie Han asked.

"There was no drama, we broke up peacefully. Our views were really incompatible, so it was better to break up sooner rather than later. She was very good to me."

“She’s the kind of person who’s quite ambitious, while I’m relatively more laid-back. I think I’m in a good position right now. She thinks I can go out and lead a team on my own, and even wants me to go to Peking Union Medical College Hospital,” Lan Tianluo said.

Originally, Tonghua planned to come to Central South University, but there was no follow-up to that. Instead, Tonghua often went to the orthopedics department of Union Hospital in Lantianluo, saying that the development prospects were quite good.

The fairy tale also says that Lan Tianluo has done right by Fang Ziye and owes him nothing.

If you want to achieve something in the future, you will have to separate it out.

If Lan Tianluo continues to be overshadowed by Fang Ziye's aura, he will only ever be a "subordinate," unable to escape Fang Ziye's nightmare.

From a career development perspective, this is certainly true.

However, from the perspective of personal achievements, fairy tales offer a somewhat narrow view.

“I think the fairy tale is right,” Fang Ziye said.

Lan Tianlu replied, "She's definitely right. How could someone as smart as her say something wrong? Anyone can do this kind of basic interest analysis."

"So we're not a good match. I just enjoy doing research projects and the feeling of performing surgery. I don't want to be a research group leader or a super professor."

"Treating patients and saving lives, and doing research and other things in a down-to-earth manner are my hobbies."

"Look at Senior Brother Jie Han and Sister-in-law Huang Shan, why don't they think this way?"

"I've thought about it too!"

Jie Han honestly replied, "But then I realized that in the end, a person's life is just about a few things. It's not easy to find like-minded people who come together."

"A team is like a table; if one leg breaks, the table falls apart."

"We all know how painful it was for Professor Liao during his time abroad."

The three boys often get together, and they never get tired of it.

Neither of them regarded the other as a "god"!
Even though Fang Ziye has achieved great success now, he was just a "clinical warrior" who needed Jie Han's help to develop his "scientific research papers" back then.

"My next research project is on pediatric oncology," Fang Ziye said frankly.

Jie Han and Lan Tianluo were slightly surprised, yet it made sense. However, Jie Han was a little conflicted: "Going to the pediatrics department to do oncology research would not have a high chance of medical disputes, but senior brother, can you stand by and watch?"

"I'm afraid I'll break down mentally."

Aren't children adorable? How adorable are they?

He's as adorable as he is, and the world of the pediatric oncology ward is just as cruel!
Lan Tianluo also advised, "Senior brother, can we really avoid childhood tumors? It's not that we're afraid of the trouble, it's just that..."

"To borrow a phrase from Hu Qingyuan, we are, after all, just human beings." (End of Chapter)
