  In fact, one of the most prominent problems in rural areas is the lack of young people. Rural revitalization and rural medical care require young people returning to their hometowns to help build and serve their hometowns. I hope more young people will join in the construction of the countryside. .

In Yichang, many medical students returning to their hometowns volunteered to go to towns and villages to participate in medical examinations, drug delivery, etc., using their professional expertise to care for key groups and become the "new force" of rural medical institutions.
