Boundless benevolence

Two days later, Hong Kong.

Li Shixi never thought that he would rush to Hong Kong so impulsively.On the second day after searching for the MSF video, he asked for leave from the hospital, and then he bought a plane ticket to Hong Kong. MSF has 18 branches around the world, including Hong Kong, China. one.

It was not the first time for Li Shixi to come to Hong Kong, so he checked the address and found the building of the Hong Kong branch of Doctors Without Borders.As soon as I entered, it was unexpectedly lively inside. There were many people of my age in the hall, some of them were talking with the staff, but most of them were sitting quietly on the benches on one side, as if is in line.Li Shixi glanced roughly, most of them were Asian, of course, there were also a few white faces.

"Hello, are you here for the interview today?" A girl in her 20s came over and asked in Cantonese.

"Oh no, I'm..." Li Shixi was about to explain, but suddenly he heard a voice from beside him: "Doctor Li?..."

Li Shixi turned around, only to see a person standing behind him, looking at him in surprise.Li Shixi thought for a while before remembering that this person seemed to be the Doctor Without Borders that he had met on the grasslands of Tanzania.

"Ah, it's you!..." Li Shixi greeted. Although he vaguely remembered this person's appearance, he couldn't remember his name at all.The latter seemed to see through his little embarrassment, stretched out his hand again, and introduced himself, "Han Yujun."

"Well, Doctor Han." Li Shixi also reached out and asked, "Aren't you in Tanzania? Why are you back?"

"When you met us, our mission was nearing completion. I came back last week." Han Yujun smiled, his eyebrows were very gentle, "Why did you come here?"

"Oh, I haven't finished my vacation yet, and I happen to be visiting Hong Kong, so I'll come and have a look."

Hearing Li Shixi's words, Han Yujun smiled: "Then it's an unlucky time for you to come here today. There is an interview for newcomers here today. Otherwise, I can show you around."

"Interview?" Only then did Li Shixi realize that the people sitting on the stool beside him were all newcomers to the interview.He glanced at those candidates, then turned his head and asked Han Yujun, "If you want to sign up for you, what are your requirements?"

Hearing this question, Han Yujun raised his eyebrows in surprise, but he still answered seriously: "MSF's recruitment requirements are actually very simple. Doctors, especially surgeons, have worked for more than two years and can speak foreign languages. Sign up, oh yes, it would be even better if you have studied "Tropical Diseases."

Li Shixi listened one by one, comparing whether he met the requirements.After listening to Han Yujun finish speaking, he looked at the people in line again, turned to Han Yujun and said, "If I say that I meet all the above requirements, can I also register today?"

"Ah?!" Han Yujun was surprised.But he found that Li Shixi's expression was serious, not joking at all.Han Yujun sized him up for a moment, then said, "Okay, wait for me, and I'll ask you for you."

"Hello, Dr. Li, I heard from Dr. Han that you came to Hong Kong from Taiwan to sign up for Doctors Without Borders. We are very honored for your support for our work. It happens that today is also the day of our interview, so we We also dealt with it specially, and generally we have to conduct a preliminary review of the applicant before conducting an interview." In the room, the interviewer sitting across from him explained with a smile on his face.His name is Du Rusong, he is one of the managers of MSF's Hong Kong branch, and he is also the interviewer this time.Sitting next to him was another interviewer, Matthew, a white doctor.

Li Shixi nodded politely to express his gratitude.

"Okay, Doctor Li, please introduce yourself first."

"Okay. My name is Li Shixi, from Taiwan. I was admitted to the National Taiwan University School of Medicine at the age of 16 and obtained a bachelor's degree in medicine. At the age of 20, I went to the Swiss Royal Medical College to study for a doctorate, majoring in cardiac surgery. After graduating at the age of 25, I returned to the Taiwan, now working in a hospital."

"Going to university at the age of 16, PhD at the age of 20? Dr. Li can also be regarded as a genius boy." Du Rusong praised his brilliant resume.He then asked: "Then, why does Dr. Li want to join our work?"

"Actually, I have heard about your organization for a long time, and I agree with your philosophy of helping people in need wholeheartedly. It was a coincidence when I was traveling in Tanzania before, and I cooperated with your local doctor to provide medical treatment for a local doctor. The pregnant woman delivered the baby." Speaking of this, Li Shixi unconsciously showed a faint smile on his face, "I didn't feel much at the time, but in retrospect, I found that it was the operation with the most sense of accomplishment for me. So, I just want to know more about you, and I hope I can have the opportunity to participate in it."

"Has Dr. Li ever taken the course "Tropical Diseases"?"

"Yes. When I was studying in Switzerland, I took courses in this area. It is on my transcript." Li Shixi pointed to the academic materials he submitted.

Du Rusong nodded and looked at Dr. Matthew who was sitting on the side. Then Dr. Matthew asked Li Shixi some medical questions. With his solid skills, Li Shixi answered very smoothly.

"...Dr. Li, the places where we provide medical services often do not have good conditions, and the conditions that a doctor has to solve will be varied, so I would like to ask, in addition to your professional cardiac surgery, do you also perform Those surgeries?"

"When I was in Switzerland, I was an intern in general surgery for the first three years. I performed common surgical operations, such as thoracic surgery, abdominal surgery, and basic fracture and bone surgery. As for gynecological surgery, I also did one case. ——If the one in Tanzania can be counted.” After Li Shixi finished the last sentence, all three of them laughed.

Matthew turned his head and nodded to Du Rusong, indicating that he was fine.

Du Rusong looked at Li Shixi with a smile on his face. Perhaps what Shixi said just now aroused some associations in him, so he asked another question: "Doctor Li, if you are currently on a mission in a war-torn country, are you and Other colleagues are on the way to a certain place by car, and you suddenly want to make it easier, but this road is very dangerous, there may be landmines buried, and you may step on landmines when you get off the car. So what do you do at this time Woolen cloth?"

"Huh?" Li Shixi froze for a moment.He didn't expect the other party to ask such a question at all, he hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Well...excuse me, is there a lady in the car I'm riding in?"

If a car is full of men, it's not too shameful to just find a mineral water bottle or directly open the car door to water outside, but Du Rusong obviously doesn't want to lower the difficulty, and said with a smile: "Let's assume there are."

"So..." Li Shixi was in trouble.He has been a top student for nearly 30 years, but he was stumped by a "convenience" question.Seeing that the other party was waiting for his answer, he gritted his teeth: "Then I might find a corner where the lady can't see, and use a mineral water bottle to solve it."

Although this was just a hypothetical question, when Li Shixi said it, he still felt a kind of embarrassment of shame spreading in his heart.What made him even more embarrassed was that before he finished speaking, the two people on the opposite side laughed, and Li Shixi felt his face turn red.He guessed that he must have given the wrong answer, because from the MSF vehicles he had seen, it seemed difficult to find any hidden corners.But he couldn't think of a better way.He really wanted to ask what the correct answer to this question was, but Du Rusong didn't seem to want to announce the answer. He stood up and stretched out his hand: "Thank you, Dr. Li, we will inform you of the interview result as soon as possible."

Li Shixi shook hands with the two, and then backed out.He is in a somewhat complicated mood now. He can be sure that he will have no problem with the previous professional questions, but he knows that he must have answered the last question wrong.Although he guessed that the mistake in that question should have no decisive effect on whether he was admitted, but this strong sense of embarrassment is really...

"Come out? How is it?" Before Han Yujun left, he saw Li Shixi coming out, so he leaned over and asked.

"Oh, it's okay." Li Shixi recovered and nodded.He looked at Han Yujun's gentle face, gritted his teeth, and mustered up the courage to ask, "Ask you a question."

"Huh? You said."

Li Shixi repeated the question Du Rusong asked him just now: "...Tell me, what should I do in this situation?"

After Han Yujun heard what Li Shixi said, the expression on his face changed a little bit. He leaned against the table behind and asked, "Johnson asked you this question?"

"Yes."

"Then how did you answer?" Han Yujun had a slight smile in his eyes.

"I... I don't think I'm right."

"It's okay, I'll listen to what you have to say." Han Yujun still smiled.

"I..." Li Shixi hesitated for a moment, and then said, "I said I'll find a mineral water bottle in a corner to solve it. They all laughed as soon as I finished speaking, it must be wrong. You must have experience in missions, you How should I answer this question?"

Hearing Li Shixi's answer, Han Yujun smiled happily just like the two just now.Seeing Li Shixi's slightly embarrassed and anxious look, he stopped smiling and explained: "You should get out of the car through the back door and step on the ruts. The car has been driving on the road but it didn't explode, which means the place where the wheels pass is safe. You Just follow the ruts and you'll be fine."

"Ah, that's right!" Li Shixi suddenly realized: Why didn't he figure out such a simple thing? !

"Sure enough, you still have experience. I really didn't think of this method."

"It was also told to me by someone before. But after that embarrassment, I will deliberately drink less water before going out, and try not to let myself find the toilet halfway." Han Yujun said with a smile.

"Also...huh?" Li Shixi suddenly discovered the problem, "The one they said was looking for the bathroom halfway was you?!"

"I have met many doctors who have been on missions. When you train before you go on missions, the old team members will teach you more knowledge in this area."

"Yeah." Li Shixi nodded with a smile on his lips.

Han Yujun looked at Li Shixi - from the first time he saw this person, he had a strange...curiosity towards him.This person is really handsome, but his handsome face always has an expression of indifference, and even a trace of sentimental fragility.What happened to make him feel so sad?Han Yujun clearly remembered that in Tanzania, when Li Shixi saw the newborn baby, his smile was very warm and moving. This shouldn't be an indifferent person. What kind of experience made him become like this now?What has he experienced that made him travel alone to the grasslands of East Africa?And why, he made a special trip to Hong Kong to sign up for Doctors Without Borders?

Dr. Li Shixi, what kind of story do you have?

The author has something to say: The resume of Dr. Li Shixi NB is actually from a classmate of mine in high school. Miss Xueba was admitted to the Royal Swedish Academy after graduating from Peking University School of Medicine. It is said that she is still a double Ph.D. I didn't make it up...

The registration requirement of MSF is true, and so is the joke about stepping on a rut and getting off the train.Being Doctors Without Borders is really a dangerous job.

All amazing people.
