Doctors and patients in the past, teachers and students today.
On the afternoon of July 11, Xu Dan, a 22-year-old "shelf-cabin postgraduate entrance examination girl", returned to Wuhan Dahuashan Fangcai Hospital with the postgraduate admission notice she received recently from Hunan University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, with mixed feelings.

A year ago, she made a promise here that "must be admitted to Hunan University of Traditional Chinese Medicine", and it finally came true.
Xu Dan's postgraduate tutor was his attending doctor last year, Mao Yilin, a professor at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Hunan University of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

On February 15, 2020, Xu Dan entered the fifth ward of Wuhan Jiangxia Fangcai Hospital for treatment due to infection with new coronary pneumonia.
At this time, she was still a senior at Hubei University of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
At the beginning of moving into the shelter, the young Xu Dan couldn't help feeling lonely and fearful, but the careful care of the Hunan medical aid team members brought her hope and sunshine.

"I must be admitted to Hunan University of Traditional Chinese Medicine as a graduate student, and be an excellent Chinese medicine practitioner like the medical team in Hubei Province!" As a medical student, Xu Dan secretly made a promise.

Professor Mao Yilin, a cardiologist at Hunan University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, is one of Xu Dan's attending doctors.
Under this situation, Mao Yilin was both surprised and excited when he learned that the patient wanted to take the Hunan University of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
He always encouraged Xu Dan to recuperate and recover as soon as possible during the rounds.
"If you are admitted, you will be admitted first!" Mao Yilin also made a promise to Xu Dan.

On March 3, 2020, Xu Dan recovered and was discharged from the hospital, and soon devoted himself to the intense review of the postgraduate entrance examination.
Xu Dan told reporters that the postgraduate entrance examination requires memorization of a large number of knowledge points, including a professional book, and memorizing at least 5 times.
Whenever he was about to be unable to persist, Xu Dan's mind came up with the busy figure of medical staff in protective clothing during the epidemic, and Professor Mao Yilin's words of encouragement sounded in his ears.
"I will continue to work hard to get closer to my dream." She thought.

Hard work pays off.
In March of this year, Xu Dan was admitted to Hunan University of Traditional Chinese Medicine as a 2021 postgraduate with his professional ranking of 6th.
On July 7, she received the admission letter as she wished, and her tutor was Professor Mao Yilin.

Now that the former Jiangxia Fangcai Hospital has become a new crown vaccination site, Xu Dan is very excited.
She expressed her gratitude to the angels in white who had worked hard for Wuhan. She will study hard in the future and pass on the essence of Chinese medicine. She plans to pass the examination for the qualification of practicing physicians next year.
