An island treasure

In 2014, an old woman in the village fell into a vegetative state following a cerebral hemorrhage, with only her husband to take care of her. Ever since, Wang has visited their home to help feed and mobilize the patient.

It remains part of her daily routine to visit their home three times a day-in the morning, at lunch break and in the evening-often spending more than three hours there in total. She doesn't feel that it's too onerous a task.

"It's not really a chore, because the time I spend with the patient is spread throughout the day, I don't feel tired at all. And it's not all about caring for the patient. I can do pretty much whatever I like. Sometimes I have meals there. It has become a second home for me," she says.

"It is a small island. Work and life are relatively monotonous here, but for me, there's nothing bad about it, as long as I am fulfilling my value as a doctor."

Senior villager Song Jiamin recalls that, last year, he had relatives visiting him from outside the island, and at midnight, one of them had a heart attack and lost consciousness. He immediately called for Wang, who soon arrived and saved the patient.
