According to the funding categories, the Natural Science Foundation can be divided into general projects, key projects, major projects, major research programs, the National Outstanding Young Scientist Fund, overseas projects and other projects.

General projects are the main part of the Natural Science Foundation funding system, and the Outstanding Young Scientists Fund is an important project among the general projects.

Outstanding Young Scientists Fund requires participation in project defense.

General projects and National Natural Science Foundation Youth Fund projects do not require a defense.

If you need to defend your thesis before you can get the job, then of course they have more money and value your potential, which is a sign that you are taking off...

Generally speaking, after you get the Outstanding Youth Award, you will be on the rise in your unit and no one will try to stop you in a rush.

After all, even if you cannot take the project away, it will be difficult for the unit to complete the outstanding young scholars project you applied for.

"Xiao Shitou, I want to take the postgraduate entrance examination!" Chen Yu said this for some unknown reason.

Zhou Yanqing paused slightly in his rice-eating action and watched Chen Yu continue to pick up dishes, his eyes moving around Chen Yu's body.

"Why do you think so? Is it because of what I just said?" Zhou Yanqing's tone paused.

Chen Yu and Zhou Yanqing looked at each other and said seriously, "Xiao Shitou, I have seriously considered it!"

"First, I've bought a house, I have a car, and my family is pretty well off. Even if we get married in the future, we don't have to buy a wedding house. Plus, Xiao Shitou, you're working now, so our income base is guaranteed."

"Secondly, being a primary school teacher is certainly very enjoyable and seeing the children are full of energy, but in fact this job is quite tedious and requires special patience. It is still quite difficult to truly feel a sense of accomplishment."

"The entrance exam from primary school to junior high school is actually not that important."

"Third, I now have a relatively mature side job that can also guarantee my income."

"Fourth, Xiao Shitou, you actually have a certain influence on me. I have also thought about it for a long time. I think that studying for a master's degree and deepening my literary skills will be more conducive to my writing."

“If the opportunity is right, after graduate school, you can also work in the Faculty of Arts at a university.”

"Fifth, I found that I liked literature and writing, and I didn't just want to make some money from it." The points listed by Chen Yu are relatively practical and close to reality.

"Is it really not because of what your parents told you? For example, because of the level gap between us, that you made this decision?" Zhou Yanqing continued to ask.

Being a primary school teacher is also a very good job. Chen Yu is the class teacher. Many children and parents recognize her and her teaching ability.

If she wasn't so responsible, she could actually leave work early every day and wouldn't have to report a lot of information to her parents after get off work.

The income from this job is also decent...

Chen Yu was a little embarrassed: "Actually, my parents dote on me quite a bit, and they just want to give me more dowry."

"I've been working for nearly three years now, so I know what my decision is for and I know what I need. It's not just a spur-of-the-moment decision."

"Little Stone, I'm going to take the postgraduate entrance examination. During this time, I should read more books and learn more about the world."

"In fact, you will soon be the hospital chief, and we can still go out to eat, go shopping and travel. I know all this, and it's not that I have low self-esteem, but I just want to do it."

Chen Yu's voice is more realistic.

This is the confidence given to her by her family background, her side job, and her cognition.

"If you want to go, then try your best. It's not easy to pass the master's degree exam. I support you." Zhou Yanqing said with a smile.

Now, he doesn't need to worry too much in front of Chen Yu. He has an income every month. With the prize money from last year's national competition and the prize money from publishing an article last year, his savings now amount to more than 400,000 yuan.

The housing prices in Shashi are not high, so Zhou Yanqing has no pressure to take out a loan to buy a house worth more than 2 million yuan.

What's more, Zhou Yanqing has not graduated yet and has not received the standard performance-based income.

Reading can change a person's destiny, and studying medicine is especially so.

"That's settled then. I'll come to bring you meals in the future, but our video call will have to be postponed. I have to start reading." Chen Yu said.

"Do you still have time to write?" Zhou Yanqing asked.

"Yes, isn't summer vacation coming soon?" Chen Yu said with a smile.

……

The next day was Saturday.

The ward rounds on Saturday could have been later, but at around seven o'clock, Zhou Yanqing was called up by Tan Zhongyu.

Zhou Yanqing didn't dare to lose his temper when his master called him.

After arriving at Tan Zhongyu's office, Zhou Yanqing finally understood why Tan Zhongyu had disturbed him. It turned out that this year's Hunan Orthopedics Academic Conference had invited Gu Yuandong, an old academician from Huashan Hospital, to come and give a 'lecture'...

By the way, Academician Gu Yuandong still remembered Zhou Yanqing, so he came to take a look.

"Hello, Teacher Gu." After Zhou Yanqing walked in, he put away the relaxed feeling he had when he was with Tan Zhongyu.

Gu Yuandong hasn't seen Zhou Yanqing for nearly a year and a half. The last time he saw Zhou Yanqing was when Tan Zhongyu invited him to come for surgery.

However, Gu Yuandong is no longer active in clinical practice and no longer performs surgery. He is only responsible for scientific research.

"Xiao Zhou, long time no see?"

"I didn't expect that you have grown so much that you are now starting to label people?" Gu Yuandong was still amiable.

Zhou Yanqing understood what the other party meant.

Labeling means naming the technique yourself.

Even if the improved functional reconstruction technique cannot be named, the newly developed suture technique by Zhou Yanqing can definitely be named. It’s just that whether other people recognize this suturing method and apply it in clinical practice depends on personal experience and understanding.

It can provide a new suturing method for tendon suturing and is also an innovative breakthrough in clinical scientific research.

"Teacher Gu, you're too kind. I was just tinkering with it to verify some of my random ideas. It's not something that would catch your eye." Zhou Yanqing is very humble and doesn't dare to be proud.

In the 1970s, Professor Gu Yuandong pioneered the phrenic nerve transposition.

In 1983, the hospital pioneered the use of multiple nerve transfer (simultaneous transfer of the diaphragmatic, accessory, intercostal and cervical plexus motor branches) to treat brachial plexus root avulsion injuries, with an excellent and successful rate of 84.6%. For cases where multiple nerve transfers could not be used, the hospital pioneered the healthy cervical transfer, making China an international leader in the diagnosis and treatment of brachial plexus injuries.

In 1980, the first venous pedicle arterialized free sural nerve transplantation was invented, providing a simple and excellent method for treating long nerve defects.

In 1983, the first lateral calf flap was created.

In 1985, the venous trunk nerve flap was designed.

In 1987, Gu Yuandong designed the hypothenar flap, constantly looking for new donor sites for the treatment of soft tissue defects in the limbs. Through 200 toe transplants, he discovered the law of vascular variation and pioneered the method of "two sets of blood supply systems"...

Any one of them could beat Zhou Yanqing into submission.

Zhou Yanqing's suturing method is really nothing compared to these clinical topics.

Gu Yuandong said: "It's still very good!"

"I was in my forties before I completed the basic accumulation of originality. You are only 28 years old now, and you have already completed these basic accumulations."

"Other people's golden period is only more than ten years at most, but your golden period will last more than twenty years!~" "If there are no accidents, it is estimated that this period will be longer."

Professor Gu Yuandong was born in 37 and is already over years old this year!

The golden age for surgeons is between 40 and 50 years old. At this time, their skills, enthusiasm, concepts, thinking and physical strength are at their peak.

From this point on, functions in all areas will decline.

No one can escape the fact that as people age, they lose their strength through muscles and bones.

"Teacher Gu, if I hadn't experienced some of the ups and downs in the past, I wouldn't have achieved what I have now."

"Thank you, Teacher Gu, for your guidance and teaching me a lot." Zhou Yanqing said.

Before that, Professor Tan Zhongyu took him to Huashan Hospital to study with Professor Gu Yuandong, and learned functional reconstruction techniques.

This was the real 'beginning' of functional reconstruction in Hunan Province!
"Professor Gu, it's like this. Xiao Zhou has always been thinking about you, but since you are old, I don't want to bother you." Tan Zhongyu said with a smile.

"Am I very old?" Gu Yuandong asked back, raising his eyebrows.

Tan Zhongyu immediately realized that he might have stepped on a landmine, and smiled beautifully: "No, no, no, Professor Gu, I said the wrong thing. Professor Gu, you are still strong and healthy."

Gu Yuandong pondered for a long time and said, "I am still old. I guess after this year, I won't be able to run anymore, and I won't be able to sit in the outpatient clinic anymore..."

"I just wanted to walk around and see more before I retreat." Gu Yuandong looked at Zhou Yanqing, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.

"By the way, Xiao Zhou, I heard from Professor Tan that you are interested in proposing the concept of functional rehabilitation?"

"It means that after the surgery, the patient's function may be better than before the injury?"

"Isn't this a bit exaggerated?" Gu Yuandong found it unbelievable.

What is this analogy?

A penis that was not that hard to begin with can become even more powerful after being injured, which is completely contrary to the principles of medicine.

"Teacher Gu, I was just thinking casually. Since each of us can be trained, I was thinking, after the operation, can we provide a chance for functional rebirth for those who are willing to exercise their functions?"

"At present, it is just a rough outline of the idea." Zhou Yanqing dared not exaggerate, nor did he dare to hide his shortcomings.

Many surgeries developed by Professor Gu Yuandong, although they seem routine now, were previously unheard of in the world and were all pioneered by him.

His innovative ability and experience are valuable assets that Zhou Yanqing hopes to learn from.

"It's a good thing to have a prototype and an idea. The accumulation of thoughts actually starts from the first day we enter medical school."

“Each of us thinks about the future!”

"It doesn't matter if you have too many prototypes. You can write them all down. When you have the ability in the future, you can look back at some of your current ideas and thoughts, and perhaps you can find a solution."

"Clinical research is also scientific research, and scientific research must be rigorous. We cannot deceive ourselves, let alone our patients."

“Let’s speak with data and facts, and proceed step by step.”

"Every step has to have a solid foundation. Only when you have truly proven that the tendon function has been enhanced after tendon suture surgery can you move forward in this direction!"

"And one thing you have to do is to verify the patient's muscle strength before surgery, in a normal, uninjured state, to prove that you can indeed increase muscle strength."

"Secondly, if you use the healthy side as a comparison, then you have to take into account whether the patient is left-handed or right-handed, and all these troublesome factors..."

Zhou Yanqing listened attentively.

Professor Gu Yuandong did not hold back and tried his best to point out and explain all the concerns and difficulties he had after listening to Zhou Yanqing's ideas.

Then, Gu Yuandong said, "Okay, that's all. I have to go back."

"You don't have to send me off. Just stay on duty and don't take chances or take risks."

"Thank you, Teacher Gu." Zhou Yanqing stood up and bowed deeply to Gu Yuandong.

Gu Yuandong smiled.

After walking some distance with Tan Zhongyu, he looked back.

However, his eyes were somewhat complicated and confused, and it was unclear whether he was looking at his past self or at his past self.

Professor Gu Yuandong has passed away, and he is indeed old. Unless there are special circumstances, he probably won't come to Hunan Province again.

Zhou Yanqing hurried back to the office and wrote down all the instructions given by Professor Gu Yuandong in detail.

After finishing recording this, Zhou Yanqing slapped his head and realized that he had forgotten to order breakfast.

How to do it?

Just click!

However, what the predecessors said really made sense. If Zhou Yanqing didn't eat quickly, he shouldn't eat...

Before breakfast arrived, Zhou Yanqing entered the emergency operating room and stayed there for a full eight hours.

The continuous replantation of severed limbs and fingers made Zhou Yanqing's stomach tormented.

I didn't eat breakfast, and eight hours had passed, which meant that I hadn't eaten anything in my stomach for twenty-four hours.

After Zhou Yanqing came out of the operating room, he ate a meal directly at the hospital entrance, then sat next to the stall and started eating the meal in big mouthfuls.

He saw the message that Chen Yu said he would come to deliver food, but Zhou Yanqing was too busy waiting.

Very hungry, very hungry, want to eat something.

After finishing his meal like a starving ghost, the boss handed Zhou Yanqing a bottle of water, his Adam's apple moving up and down: "Doctor, are you still hungry? Can I give you another box?"

Zhou Yanqing took the water, smiled and shook his head, scanned the code and paid two yuan, then hurried to the department.

After just filling his stomach, he decided not to eat the box lunch because his girlfriend's loving dinner was on the way.

Today is Saturday after all.

That night, Chen Yu stayed in Zhou Yanqing's office to study for two hours before going back.

After returning home, she studied for another two hours before video chatting with Zhou Yanqing and going to sleep. It was obvious that she had really put the postgraduate entrance examination on the agenda...

A weekend passed quickly.

Monday, October 5.

Tan Zhongyu's worries finally died down. He no longer forced Ning Zhu and others to win any special prizes, nor did he force the doctors in the department to get good results in clinical competitions!

After checking the ward, Tan Zhongyu inspected everyone and said, "Prepare for tomorrow's surgery. Do a good job of preoperative physical examination and data recording. The wardens should be smart. This is a benefit given to you by your senior brother."

"If you don't catch it yourself, don't blame the department for not giving you a chance..."
