In Yangang Village, Duanwu Township, Yudu County, Jiangxi Province, there lives an ultra-short village doctor with a height of only 90 centimeters, Xiao Jiulin. His height is lower than that of a child many years old, like a "pocket" who practices medicine. Even at the bedside, he needs to stand in a chair, making it a challenging task for patients to see patients and prescribe medications. But in Yangang Village, when Xiao Jiulin was mentioned, more than 2,000 villagers were full of praise for him.
Behind this trust is the 30 years of hard work of Xiao Jiulin and his wife. Due to Xiao Jiulin's physical disability, he could not walk for a long time, so most of the time his wife carried him on his back for medical work. In the past 30 years, the footprints of the two have almost all covered the mountains and forests and muddy paths. From a rural wild doctor who was ridiculed and questioned at the beginning, Xiao Jiulin has now become the patron saint of the villagers in Shiliba.
However, before he embarked on the path of becoming a doctor, Xiao Jiulin experienced an unhappy childhood. Born in Yangang Village, Jiangxi Province in 1964, Xiao Jiulin's birth was supposed to bring laughter to his family. However, when he was 3 years old, the family suffered a sudden misfortune. When children of the same age in the same village ushered in the peak of growth, Xiao Jiulin's height stopped at 90 centimeters. At first, his parents thought he was growing up late and tried to improve his food, but Xiao Jiulin's height still did not increase.
Eventually, during an examination at the county hospital, he was diagnosed with a serious medical condition that could lead to disability. Due to the late time to go to the hospital, Xiao Jiulin's height stayed at 90 centimeters, which was irretrievable. Parents were desperate for this and took Xiao Jiulin back to their hometown. Due to the problem of height, Xiao Jiulin was often ridiculed and isolated by children in the same village in his childhood, which filled his childhood with shadows. Despite his physical impairment, Xiao Jiulin showed extraordinary wisdom and devoted most of his time to studying, achieving excellent results. However, due to height restrictions, he failed to get into college and felt lost about the future.
Although God closed a door, Xiao Jiulin firmly opened a window for himself. With a love for medicine and care for his fellow villagers, he decided to become a doctor. Despite his physical disability, Xiao Jiulin's hands were disabled due to illness and were not flexible enough. However, at his insistence, a doctor agreed to give him a try, testing his dexterity by drawing the drug.
Xiao Jiulin successfully completed this task and demonstrated his medical skills. Although his hands were not flexible, he was left in the township health center and studied systematically for two years. This was a difficult starting point on the road to medicine, and after two years of study, he still needed to train for three years at the health school, and finally obtained his qualification as a rural doctor. However, the test of reality comes when he returns to the village to open a clinic.
After the clinic opened, it was faced with an embarrassing scene, and some people even sneered at Xiao Jiulin, suspecting that he could not cure his own illness, let alone treat the disease and save people. For doctors, the hand is the most commonly used tool, and both pulse and injection require dexterous hand skills. However, due to the disease, Xiao Jiulin's hand function is limited. Despite this, he persevered, showing his talent for medicine and gradually gaining the trust of the villagers.
Xiao Jiulin's wife, Huang Shuzhen, who is 160 centimeters tall, also played an important role in this difficult medical path. At first, the couple, who have a huge difference in height, were questioned and puzzled. However, Xiao Jiulin firmly believes in his medical dream and is eager to change the medical situation of the villagers through his own efforts. Due to the lack of medical resources in the village, many patients end up dragging minor illnesses into major ones.
After Xiao Jiulin became a doctor, although he could not help the world, he could at least provide better medical conditions for the villagers. However, when the clinic first opened, it faced serious challenges. Not only did no patients come to see a doctor, but some people ridiculed Xiao Jiulin, thinking that he could not cure other people's diseases. Even some strong men expressed concern about him, believing that his fingers were too thick and that the injections would hurt.
In such a difficult time, Xiao Jiulin did not give up, he took the initiative to help his neighbors see a doctor, although only the basic medicine fee was charged. He showed patience and sincerity, and gradually won people's trust. His wife, Huang Shuzhen, also actively participated, helping to carry the medicine box and go to the clinic together. Gradually, more and more patients began to appear in the clinic, and Xiao Jiulin's efforts began to bear fruit.
However, Xiao Jiulin did not forget his original intention, and he always insisted that the villagers could see a doctor for the least amount of money. He also cared about the patient's emotions and took the initiative to help the children in the school get injections. Due to physical reasons, he can only walk 100 meters, but he still shuttles around the village for the sake of the sick.
His patience and sincerity eventually won the trust of the villagers, and the clinic gradually gained more and more patients. Xiao Jiulin has not only made superb achievements in medicine, but his medical methods are also loved by the villagers. When it comes to Xiao Jiulin, everyone no longer sees a disabled person, but a trusted brother and family.
However, behind Xiao Jiulin's success, there is also his wife Huang Shuzhen's silent dedication. She plays a vital role in Xiao Jiulin's medical career. Whenever Xiao Jiulin apologized for his wife, Huang Shuzhen always greeted him with a smile. In her opinion, husbands and wives should support each other, even if it is worth the hard work.
In this process, Huang Shuzhen did not feel tired, but felt that it was a meaningful thing. With the development of the times, the roads in the village have become smoother, and Xiao Jiulin has also learned to ride an electric car, which has reduced Huang Shuzhen's burden a lot. Today, Xiao Jiulin and Huang Shuzhen have gone through decades together, and Xiao Jiulin has become a member of the Township Disabled Persons' Federation, helping many disabled people out of their predicament. Their lives have become very happy and happy, and they are already full of children and grandchildren.
Although Xiao Jiulin is 60 years old and still only 90 centimeters tall, his mental state is very good. Although his grandchildren are taller than him, in the eyes of many people, Xiao Jiulin's body is far more than 90 centimeters. With a height of less than 1 meter, he has created a medical performance of 10,000 meters high. This story teaches us that physical deficiencies cannot bind a strong spirit. In any case, Xiao Jiulin has made a 10,000-meter-high medical performance with a body of less than 1 meter, and has become a real model for a man who stands up to the sky.
