In the mountain area, patients all knew to seek out Dr. Li when they were ill, placing special trust in him.
The Medical Teaching Department specially arranged for an official to accompany Dr. Li as he went through the formalities for further training, and Dean Xia personally took Dr. Li to meet Yang Ping.
"Professor Yang, this is the Dr. Li I mentioned," Dean Xia introduced.
Upon meeting his idol Yang Ping, Dr. Li was full of excitement. He had watched the live broadcast of the five-stage replantation on his phone, even though the signal was poor and it kept buffering, he watched the surgery until the end, only stopping when he had to because of duty calls.
Since that time, Dr. Li had regarded Yang Ping as his idol.
"Professor Yang—"
Dr. Li was both excited and noticeably shy.
"Dr. Li!"
Yang Ping took his hand. He was very moved by Dr. Li's deeds, humble, down-to-earth, and deeply rooted in the remote mountainous region.
