Chapter 51 - Ten Years (1/2)
6 p.m.
”Alright, we are done for the day. Tomorrow, we have to go to another village, so rest well tonight.” The in-charge said to the students.
”Big sisters and brothers, thank you for today!” The children from the village shouted cheerfully and gave cards to the students from both universities.
Some children went to hug the students and the students were stunned at first. However, after a while, they quickly hugged the children as well.
”This is our special local food, please bring some back with you all as a thank you.” The village head came out with bags of food and passed them to the overall-in-charge.
”Thank you,” The overall-in-charge replied as he took the bags.
The students were very touched by the kindness of the villagers and the children, and some of them even started to encourage the children to study harder.
”We will! We will work harder and become a doctor that saves lives like all of you big sisters and brothers!” The children shouted with resolution.
After bidding goodbyes, the students left and got onto the bus unwillingly.
After working together for a whole day, the students from both universities managed to mingle well with one another. When they got on the bus, some sat with the new friends they met.
The buses left and reached the hotel that they were staying at.
At L & F Hotel.
The students gathered in the banquet hall for dinner.
”So, how do you all feel about this trip? Is it the same as when you first step here?” Mo Xi asked as she stood in front of the students along with the other professors.
”Happy!”
”Excited!”
”Grateful!”
”Sad…”
All kinds of answers came out.
”As doctors, our duty is to save lives. However, nowadays, many doctors forget what their duties are and commit unethical work. We save lives not because of the money that we are going to get back in return. We save lives because we have the ability and it is our mission. The money that we get in return should never be the reason for you to save lives. The reason why we got all of you here is to remind all of you that even though you are fortunate enough to become a doctor, never forget what your mission is. Many people in this world couldn't even afford to be educated, and some people don't act like educated people even though they are. Of course, I am not asking you all to be stupid and sweet.”
Everyone in the banquet hall laughed when Mo Xi said that.
”I am asking all of you to cherish what you have and are born with, help people who are in need. Even if you see a criminal that is injured, helped him first because you are a doctor. After you save him, you can always call the police and put him in jail to rot for the rest of his life alive when he is still in a coma. However, before you do that please make sure that you can protect yourself from not being hurt by the criminal or that the criminal is too weak to move. If not the first thing you see a criminal should be to run, hide and call for help. Alright?
”Okays!” The students shouted firmly in unison.
”Tomorrow, we will be going to another village, it is deeper in the mountains and near caves. So, remember that your safety is number one, look at where you are walking. Enjoy your dinner.” Mo Xi said and got off the stage.
The students in the banquet hall started eating and talking.
”Who is she?”
”She is so pretty! But she looks very fierce!”
”She is our professor.”
”Huh?! She looks so young!”
