Professor Chen Jianliang stood in front of the lightbox, discussing with Yang Ping.
Although he had retired, what interested him most was still his specialty. Having been a doctor all his life, he felt a sense of existence only when treating and saving lives. Engaging in other activities always left him without that feeling of existence, and the lack of it made him feel lost and empty, uncertain of the value of life.
Professor Chen now only saw outpatients and was basically not involved in surgeries. Although running an outpatient clinic meant he was still on the front line, as a surgeon, how could he endure it indefinitely? Over time, he inevitably felt lonely and isolated.
It was like a sniper on the battlefield who, although still at the front, no longer engaged in shooting enemies but squatted in defensive works, watching the battle through binoculars and collecting intelligence—naturally, it was hard to adapt to this change.
