The establishment of the medical journal was not a whim of Yang Ping's, but a long-considered decision.
It's a fact that our medical science lags behind Europe and America in the field of basic research, where originality is scarce. But we are catching up, after all; they have been developing for over two hundred years, and some things can't be achieved overnight.
However, in the clinical field, especially in surgical operations, we are not behind but rather ahead. Chinese people have agile minds and hands, and they grasp skillful techniques better than others, which is generally acknowledged. For instance, in the Olympic Games, we are second to none in skill-based events.
