First, selfless dedication

The days when doctors sit at home and wait for patients to knock on the door are over. Our future battle slogan is, go to the front and go to the wounded, and wherever there are wounded, we will go! (Excerpt from a talk with Comrade Deng Xiaoping on his way from Yan 'an to the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region.)

Revolt can't patronize personal safety. If it was for my personal safety, I wouldn't come to China. Only by eliminating fascism can there be the most reliable security. * * *, not for personal safety first, but for the sick and wounded. What's the point of living if doctors don't work for the wounded? (Conversation with Minister of Health Ye Qingshan) I'm here to support the national liberation of China. What do I need money for? I want to dress well and eat well, so I will stay in Canada instead of coming to China. (Talking to Ye Qingshan, Minister of Health)

I can operate in front of a 20-foot-high expressionless statue behind a dilapidated temple ... I can work like running water, electric lights and other modern equipment. My past life once tempted me, but for my ideal, those days would never come back. (Excerpted from a letter to a friend in Canada)

There are no seeds in the soil, no millet to grow, and no blood in the body, so life will be in danger. The wounded man lost too much blood. Only by supplying them can they be cured. Taking some blood from a healthy person will not hinder the body, because he can make up for himself quickly. If you can save one soldier with your own blood, it is better than killing ten enemies. (Speech to Blood Donors during Internship Week in Surgical Hospital)

Second, everything is for the patient.

What are the duties of doctors, nurses and waiters? This responsibility is to make your patients happy and help them recover their health and strength. You must see that each of them is your brother and your father-because in fact, yes, they are kinder than their brothers and parents, and they are your comrades. (Speech at the Opening Ceremony of Model Hospital)

Doctors live for the sick and wounded. What's the point of living if doctors don't work for the sick and wounded? They fought to build a new society, and in return, we will fight for them. The battles we are going to fight are disease, disability and death. (Speech to Interns during Internship Week in Surgical Hospital)

The sick and wounded are your comrades. You should put them first in everything. If you don't regard them as more important than yourself, then you are not worthy of health work. (Speech to Interns during Internship Week in Surgical Hospital)

Third, technology strives for perfection.

We should always ask ourselves a question, is there a better way to replace the method we are using now? You should always be dissatisfied with yourself and your work ability. (Talking to Assistant Chen Shihua)

The term technology is usually used to describe the application of materials and methods. It is the most advanced and effective way to do things ... We can talk about the technology of sweeping the floor and cleaning up the hospital, the technology of tying bandages for surgery, the technology of lifting patients, and the technology of holding patients up to make them comfortable. (Speech to Medical Staff in Model Hospital)

A battlefield surgeon should also be a carpenter, blacksmith, sewing worker and barber, so as to become a good surgeon. (Speech when creating the Lugouqiao mobile team in Jizhong)

Without accurate registration, there can be no accurate statistics, and without accurate statistics, there can be no accurate analysis; Without accurate analysis, there can be no accurate method, just like walking blindfolded. (Talking about the Statistical Requirements of Ambulances in Heisi Village, Guangling County)

Fourth, noble moral sentiments.

We must use technology to improve the happiness of hundreds of millions of people, not to improve the wealth of a few people. (A conversation before going to Spain)

Don't wonder why people like me on the other side of the world want to help you thousands of miles away. You and we are both internationalists, and no race, color, language or national boundaries separate us. (Talking to the staff of the model hospital)

Don't treat me like an antique. I am here to work. You should treat me like a machine gun. (First conversation with Commander Nie Rongzhen)

5. Modesty, diligence and study

As a surgeon, you can't know whether the operation is successful unless you change your dressing for the first time. Only by changing the dressing yourself can we test the effect of our operation, gain experience and improve our skills. (Talking to Assistant Lin)

The duty of doctors is to heal the wounded and rescue the dying, reduce their pain, help them recover their health and strength, and make them return to the front line of defeating fascism as soon as possible. For those wounded who can't return to the front line because of disability, we should also try our best to make them useless and help them have the ability to participate in certain labor and independent life as much as possible. (Special Surgery Hospital Practice Week addresses students)

Sixth, love China.

The past two years have been the happiest and most meaningful days in my life ... Let me give you and millions of dear comrades a hundred times of gratitude. (suicide note)

I came to the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region to work with you in this hospital. I always thought it was "your hospital" at first, but now I think it is "our hospital" because we created it. (Speech at the Opening Ceremony of Model Hospital)

Seven, abide by professional ethics

In a hospital, if one person is very responsible, everyone will get benefits, and if one person is irresponsible, everyone may get disadvantages. (Talking to assistant Zhao Chong)

If a company commander loses a machine gun, it goes without saying that he will be criticized, but he can still get it back, but if he loses a leg, he will never get it back. (Talking to Fu, the shop assistant)

Whenever the wounded are brought in, no matter day or night, they should check themselves. For critically ill patients, they are always on call. (Talking to Assistant Wang Daojian)

Doctors or nurses should not hold their heads high in front of the wounded. (Talking to Assistant Lin)

Eight, good psychological quality

There is an old saying in English hospitals that a doctor must have a lion's heart and a pair of women's hands. This means that he must be bold, strong, agile and decisive, but at the same time be kind, kind and attached to the human body. (Speech at the Opening Ceremony of Model Hospital)

Time is life for rescuing the wounded. Saving a wounded person and reducing the pain for the wounded is the greatest happiness of our medical workers. (Speech to Interns during Internship Week in Surgical Hospital)
