Origin Story
一位老中医，悬壶济世几十年，医术高明，救死扶伤无数，却因操劳过度，形容憔悴。他虽年过花甲，却依然坚持出门诊治，只因医者仁心，对病人总是充满医者爱心。一日，一位年轻女子前来求医，她脸色苍白，身形消瘦，显然也是劳累过度。老中医细细询问病情，原来她是一名乡村教师，为了山村的孩子们，日夜操劳，牺牲自己的休息时间，毫无怨言。老中医听后，不禁感叹道：“姑娘，你如此为孩子们奉献，虽形容憔悴，却也精神可嘉啊！我给你开几副药，调理一下身体，切记要劳逸结合。”女子感激涕零，认真聆听老中医的教诲。老中医的故事在当地传为佳话，大家都赞扬他不仅医术高超，更有一颗善良仁慈的心。
An old Chinese doctor, who had been practicing medicine for decades, was known for his superb skills and dedication to saving lives. However, years of tireless work had left him looking haggard. Despite his advanced age, he continued to see patients, driven by his compassionate heart. One day, a young woman came to him, pale and thin, clearly overworked. The doctor learned she was a rural teacher who dedicated herself to the children in her village, often sacrificing her own rest. The doctor sighed, "Your devotion is admirable, young lady, though you appear haggard. I'll prescribe some medicine to help you recover. Remember to balance work and rest." The woman was deeply grateful. The doctor's story became a local legend, celebrated for his skills and kind heart.
