According to the head of the orphanage, Shang Shuming exhibited his extraordinary talent from an early age. He was highly intelligent and held a particular fondness for medical books. When the psychologist treating him discovered his giftedness, he brought Shang some related introductory books during each visit, to foster his interest and as a therapeutic measure.
Once, a child at the orphanage got a cut on his leg but was too scared to tell the adults. At the time, the head of the orphanage and the teachers were in a meeting, so the child hid in the restroom, letting the blood flow into the toilet. Shang Shuming found him, immediately administered first aid to stop the bleeding, and then went to get the head of the orphanage. The child was lucky; if it had been delayed any longer, his life might have been in danger.
