The most memorable moment for him was the first time working in a recovery room full of patients in critical conditions, a patient held the doctor's hand and whispered, "Try to save me, doctor! My family has 9 people but 7 have died. Only my grandchild and I are left. Doctor, please save me so I can take care of my loved ones." With the dedicated care of the doctors, that patient was able to make a spectacular recovery.
