Ou Lichun and Yang Ping were university classmates, both for their undergraduate and postgraduate studies.
Upon graduation, Ou Lichun went to a tertiary-level hospital in a lesser-known city. As a master's degree holder, this was already a decent outcome in the overly competitive medical field.
Back then, Ou Lichun dreamt of furthering his skills in spinal surgery at the Nandu Affiliated Hospital One, but due to its national ranking and scarce fellowship positions, there was no chance for him.
Thanks to Yang Ping's help, Ou Lichun's dream came true, and he was accepted to train at Nandu Affiliated Hospital One.
He cherished this opportunity greatly, arriving at the department before seven in the morning and only leaving after ten at night, working earnestly.
