A long time ago, during the Wanli period of the Qing Dynasty, a severe plague broke out in the Handan area of Hebei Province, and many people suffered as a result. They were all infected with the plague, and people sought medical advice everywhere, but to no avail, and the plague was raging and threatening the lives of the people.

Li Sheng is a heavenly immortal who saw the diseases and sufferings of the world in heaven and decided to go down to earth to help the people through the difficulties. He took his medicine box and went to the area where the epidemic was most severe.
Li Sheng used his superb medical skills to ** many infected patients. He not only prescribed medicine to the sick, but also told them how to prevent the plague. Teach people to maintain good Xi habits, wash hands frequently, wear masks, do not blow up piles, and maintain social distance.
With Li Sheng's efforts, the epidemic has been effectively controlled. People are grateful to Li Sheng and call him a fairy and a miracle doctor."
However, Li Sheng did not stay on earth, and after completing his mission, he returned to heaven. However, he left behind a medical book "Materia Medica", which recorded his prescriptions for various diseases, as well as methods and experiences in curing and preventing plagues.

The story of Dr. Li Sheng's miracle doctor has also been passed down among the people, and his spirit has inspired generations of doctors to contribute to the cause of human health.
