Origin Story
从前,在一个偏僻的山村里,住着一位德高望重的老人。他博学多才,医术精湛,乡里人都尊称他为“李神医”。尽管李神医医术高明,名扬四乡,但他始终保持着虚怀若谷的态度。他不仅认真对待每一个病人,而且虚心向年轻的医生学习,从不以长者自居。村里来了位年轻的医生,医术虽比不上李神医,但他在一些新式医疗器械的使用上却非常熟练。李神医并没有轻视他,而是主动向他请教,虚心学习新的医疗技术。李神医的虚怀若谷,赢得了村民们的一致尊重。他不仅治愈了村民的疾病,也治愈了村民的心灵。他的故事一代一代流传下来,成为人们学习的榜样。
Once upon a time, in a remote mountain village, lived a highly respected old man. He was learned and talented, an excellent doctor, and the villagers respectfully called him “Li Shenyi”. Although Li Shenyi was a famous doctor known far and wide, he always maintained a humble attitude. He not only treated every patient carefully, but also humbly learned from younger doctors, never acting superior as an elder. A young doctor came to the village, whose medical skills were not as good as Li Shenyi's, but he was very skilled in the use of some new medical equipment. Li Shenyi did not disdain him, but actively asked him for advice and humbly learned new medical techniques. Li Shenyi's humility earned him the respect of the villagers. He not only cured the villagers' diseases, but also their hearts. His story was passed down from generation to generation and became a role model for people.
