2579.2480 Documentary (Part 2) (Alliance Assertion Lin Min Extra Chapter 3)

The picture cleared again, and the person appearing on the screen was Liu Xu zhi.

"My name is Liu Xu zhi, I am a radiology doctor in the remote Xilin Town. Now I work in hepatobiliary work in Di Du......"

Liu Xu zhi was clearly not used to speaking in front of the camera; he gave a brief self-introduction, then scratched his head, feeling a bit embarrassed.

He lowered his head, then, reminded by the cameraman, raised it again.

"The first time I met Zheng Lao Ban was during the earthquake relief, at Pengxi Township Hospital. I used to watch surgery live broadcasts; at first it wasn't Zheng Lao Ban performing, but later the broadcaster disappeared, and Xinglin Yuan started contacting Zheng Lao Ban."

"Never mind that, never mind that. When I first saw Zheng Lao Ban, I always thought his surgeries were bad. Actually it was just a preconception; back then I especially admired the doctors who did surgery live broadcasts at Xinglin Yuan."

"But my skill wasn't enough to assist Zheng Lao Ban; a surgery took fifteen minutes, and I just stood there watching. Later I went to another operating room to assist Professor Mu and Yun Ge'er."

"Well, to put it that way, Zheng Lao Ban's surgical skill is very high—how high? I don't even qualify to assist him."

Liu Xu zhi spoke frankly and sincerely.

But facing the camera lens, he always felt a bit embarrassed, his head slightly lowered, like a shy child.

"Well, I don't have much to say. I'm just an ordinary doctor; when I was in Xilin Town, my greatest daily pleasure was watching surgery live broadcasts."

"I learned surgery from watching live broadcasts; one day a patient with intestinal bleeding needed a hospital-wide consultation. I thought, I'd seen this in a surgery live broadcast, so I collaborated with the General Surgery Department doctors—first embolize, then resect—and the patient was saved."

"My skill is lacking; compared to the earlier live broadcast surgeons or Zheng Lao Ban, I'm far behind."

"The most I can do now is a gastric fundus and left gastric artery embolization procedure. This surgical technique was improved with the help of Zheng Lao Ban and Yun Ge'er, and it was recently published in the Willow Leaf Blade journal."

As Liu Xu zhi said this, an introduction to the Willow Leaf Blade journal appeared below the screen, silently doing science popularization.

"It's a world‑class major literature journal, but coming from Liu Xu zhi's mouth it sounds like a street‑side tabloid. Without the introduction, many people wouldn't think much of it."

"There seems to be another competing medical team from Johns Hopkins Hospital; their level is definitely higher than mine, but not as high as Zheng Lao Ban and Yun Ge'er. I'm just the one doing the front‑line work, but if we compare academic ability, it's definitely Zheng Lao Ban and Yun Ge'er."

"You ask me about my impression of Zheng Lao Ban? Let me think."

"The impression? At first he was young and healthy. In the two operating rooms at Pengxi Township, Professor Mu, Yun Ge'er, and I took turns resting. But Zheng Lao Ban himself stayed in one operating room, performing surgery for three days and three nights."

"It's not easy, not easy; even Director Jiang of Pengxi Township got a heart attack just from ferrying patients."

"Later I asked Zheng Lao Ban to come to my side… Actually, besides in Pengxi Township, my deepest impression is when I had a heart attack, and Zheng Lao Ban and Yun Ge'er treated me via video."

"It was still a bit cold then; I wanted to quit my job and go to Di Du. Possibly due to the weather and emotional fluctuation, my heart attack struck suddenly. I thought if I lay down, the earliest anyone would find me would be next morning. My hometown isn't like Di Du, where there's always someone around. It's sparsely populated, quiet, and rather remote."

"I wasn't afraid, just regretful. But between life and death I suddenly thought of Zheng Lao Ban and gave him a call."

"I wasn't thinking about whether doing live‑broadcast emergency rescue would get a subsidy from Xinglin Yuan. My family is poor; if I saved a little money, my wife's life could be easier, and my eldest child's school fees……"

As he spoke, Liu Xu zhi seemed to return to that cold night.

His voice sounded a bit stiff, as if the memory still made him feel the breath of death even now.

"Back then Zheng Lao Ban told me not to rush; hearing his voice calmed my emotions a little. I rushed to the interventional surgery room and then got straight onto the operating table."

"No, no, interventional surgery consumes supplies; we originally had an interventional doctor, but he later went to a private hospital in the city. Our town's hospital gets little funding—making a living is hard enough."

"Oh oh, I went off track. While lying on the operating table, I followed Zheng Lao Ban's instructions for self‑emergency care, including performing a catheter‑thrombolysis procedure on myself."

"Later the live broadcast became Yun Ge'er; I lay dazed on the operating table in the surgery room, and I can still remember his singing voice."

"No lack of seriousness now—Zheng Lao Ban rushed over to operate on me, while Yun Ge'er soothed my emotions. As I said before, my surgical skill is quite ordinary; catheter‑thrombolysis is a makeshift method, and in the end I still had to wait for Zheng Lao Ban."

"Well, after Zheng Lao Ban arrived, the surgery was performed. Look, I now wear lead clothing while doing surgery every day, and my body is fine."

Saying this, Liu Xu zhi gave a simple, honest smile.

"Zheng Lao Ban will surely win the Nobel Prize, no doubt about it." Liu Xu zhi answered Sun Zeli's question with great confidence.

The picture gradually faded, the figure blurred, but Liu Xu zhi's honest, simple smile seemed to linger in everyone's hearts, hard to forget.

【The medical profession is tough, but interventional doctors bear even greater pressure than other doctors. Compared to colleagues in other departments, interventional doctors have more than four times the rate of skin damage, neck, back, and knee ailments increase nearly sixfold, and cataracts increase nearly fivefold.】

The clacking of typing was clear and heavy; each number was shockingly striking.

【What we see are the numbers and records of surgery after surgery; the doctors who perform them are saving patients with their lives. The heavy lead clothing cumulatively damages doctors' cervical and lumbar spines; radiation erodes their bodies.】

【They are angels, shouldering heavy work while constantly striving to improve.】

【Zheng Ren, Doctor Zheng, is one of them; he silently performs heavy surgeries. Such things happen every day in every corner around us.】

【This is the first episode of the Hua Shi TV News Channel documentary "Story Behind the Nobel Prize"; thank you for watching. In the next episode we will interview more people, from different angles, to recount the legendary experiences of Zheng Ren, Doctor Zheng.】

The camera focuses on a chair in the 912 interventional doctor's office; Zheng Ren sits on it, and the afternoon sunlight streams in, as if it casts a thick halo around him.
