Xiao Jiulin is on his way to pay a home visit at Yangang Village in Duanwu Township of Yudu County, east China's Jiangxi Province, Oct. 24, 2019. The 55-year-old Xiao Jiulin is a rural doctor at the eastern Chinese village. When he was three year old, Xiao was physically disabled due to an illness, which eventually led to his height only keeping in 90 cm. The short stature causes troubles in all Xiao's life, but also spurred him to aspire to be a doctor, who can help patients free from diseases. In 1989 when graduating from a local medical school, Xiao obtained by exam the rural doctor certification and became a doctor of a clinic in the village. Over the past 30 year, Xiao has always provided visiting medical services to villagers for their needs regardless of his difficulties in walking. For long time, Xiao's wife Huang Shuzhen has always been at his side to take good care of him in life. "Now that?I decide to be a doctor,?I can not give up easily. Troubled by diseases in all my life,?I hope to help patients get rid of the pain caused by diseases through my efforts and win respects in return ." said Xiao. (Xinhua/Hu Chenhuan)
