Tang Boqiang and Yang Longyue walked slowly and chatted slowly under the moonlight in the night sky of Xinqiao City. Yang Longyue said: "I think the answer you gave when answering Mr. Zhao's question tonight is very good, I am also a person who likes clinical practice very much, and I will focus on clinical practice in the future." It's just that I'm kind of wondering, which major do you want to pursue in the future? ”

Tang Boqiang smiled slightly after hearing this, and said: "Except for Situ Yuanxing, I have never told anyone else about this answer, I hope you will not be surprised when you hear it." ”

"Hehe, let's talk about it, I've surprised you enough, it doesn't matter if I come again." Yang Longyue joked.

"Actually, since I took the neurology class, I decided that I wanted to be a neurologist in the future, unless I couldn't choose it. If I really can't choose, I may be admitted to graduate school, of course, as Liao Yanhan said tonight, these will be said after graduation and assignment. It doesn't matter where I work, as long as it allows me to work in neurology. Tang Boqiang's tone was almost categorical.

Although she was a little mentally prepared, after listening to Tang Boqiang's answer, Yang Longyue was still taken aback: "Do you want to engage in neurology?" I think you're really nervous, you ask who in the whole grade wants to do neurology? It is a discipline with diagnosis but no treatment, and who doesn't know that neurology only has "three vegetarians plus diapers" (antibiotics, hormones, vitamins). Hey, no wonder Director Cai said so clearly that day that day that he wanted to keep you, but you politely refused. How good it is to follow Director Cai to engage in cardiovascular, how hot cardiovascular is, I really don't know what you think. It seems that Tang Boqiang's choice has stimulated Yang Longyue a lot, and his voice raised as he spoke, and the crisp and pleasant voice echoed in the empty night sky. Tang Boqiang knew that she was good for herself, and what she said was not wrong at all.

"Shh Tang Boqiang made a gesture to Yang Longyue and looked around, Yang Longyue also realized his gaffe, stuck out his tongue and stopped talking.

"I like neurology, and I like the logical thinking method that neurological diseases require when diagnosing diseases, which is the logic and reasoning that I have always loved, and I have been deeply attracted to it. I know that you are good for me, don't worry, I will do well, and I believe that the discipline of neurology will definitely develop in the future. Hehe, what about you, tell us about your vision for the future. Tang Boqiang looked at Yang Longyue and said with a smile.

Tang Boqiang's question, Yang Longyue was excited: Isn't this what Liao Yanhan hinted at me, I was almost confused and forgot.

"Hehe, my future is simple. First of all, I was confident that it would be no problem to stay in school and stay in the pediatrics department I wanted to go to. After staying in school, I took the time to review my English, hoping to pass the English test for entering Canada in the second year after graduation, or at the latest in the third year, that is, around 1986. One of my classmates had already immigrated to Canada, and at that time I would definitely go to Canada, get a doctor's license in Canada, and become a private doctor in Canada. Yang Longyue said her "simple" future in one breath. In fact, Tang Boqiang knows very well that the future she described is not simple for many people at all, but for Yang Longyue, Tang Boqiang really believes that it is not difficult for her to do this. The first is that Yang Longyue has the strength to pass the English test, and the second is that Yang Longyue's family can afford her to go to Canada to study for the exam.

At this point in Yang Longyue's words, all the mysteries in Tang Boqiang's heart were revealed. He is very grateful to Liao Yanhan for her intelligence and kindness, Yang Longyue's frankness and sincerity, and very grateful for his college career and even in his own life to be friends with such an excellent person.

After a short silence, Tang Boqiang spoke: "Your idea is very feasible, and it may be difficult for others, but for you, I absolutely believe in your ability." Very well, if I have the opportunity to come to Canada in the future, you can host me. ”

"Hey, it's still far away. However, if there is such a day, I will definitely treat you well. Yang Longyue returned to normalcy and replied generously.

Slowly, they walked to the river. Leaning on the railing of the river, watching the boats coming and going on the river, looking at the seemingly endless and wide river not far away, looking at a majestic bridge and the two piers of the bridge come into view like a door. Although the bridge has been around for a long time, the momentum is still intimidating, and the difficulty of building a bridge with such a long span on such a wide river can be imagined, and the name of Shimbashi City is probably related to this bridge.

Xinqiao City is located in the delta of the erosion plain of the Pearl River, where large rivers, small rivers and various small streams are dotted. People living in the delta used to rely on a variety of boats to get around, which was very unsafe and inconvenient. Slowly more and more bridges are built, bridges not only bring convenience to travel, bridges are also like arteries, bringing the needed "blood" to economic development. As a result, the Pearl River Delta has gradually become a well-known developed and wealthy region throughout the country.

The city slowly slept in the night. But the river that brings it vitality is still sober, excited, and busy, and it is the busy water of the river that feeds the city, how similar this scene is to the old town of Octagon. But Xinqiao City is lucky, it is adjacent to the provincial capital, with extensive land transportation, the convenience of water and land transportation makes Xinqiao City like a tiger wings.

Thinking of the river that he has to pass through to and from his hometown and provincial capital in the past few years, and thinking that the time of several years has passed like this in this rush, Tang Boqiang couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion, and blurted out the famous saying of Confucius: The deceased is like a husband, reluctant to give up day and night!

Yang Longyue looked at Tang Boqiang in a daze, sighed softly, and said, "Sometimes I really think that you should go to liberal arts instead of studying medicine. To be honest, although I used to find fault with you, it was really a pleasure to read the medical records you wrote, and I could feel between the lines that you had a unique literati temperament, but also felt that you should be meticulous after going through rigorous medical school study and training. Although you are usually very low-key, your writing reveals that you have not only the informality of a literati, but also the rigor of being a doctor. ”

"Really? Thank you for giving me such a high rating, this is the first time I've heard such a review. Tang Boqiang smiled and said: "Actually, I think the difference between me and you or many classmates is the difference in starting point. You're standing so much higher than I am that I can't see it when I look up. The starting point is different, the perspective is naturally different, the things seen are different, and the choice is of course different. To be honest, if I were given a chance to choose again, I would still choose to go to medical school. Hehe, this is fate, this fate allows two people or many people like you and me, who have very different starting points, to study in the same school and become friends. ”

"The grade teachers often said that our classmates were children, and it wasn't until we did the internship that all the teachers were impressed with us. Yes, we were young, but we experienced a lot, and our thirst for knowledge was intense in a way that teachers didn't realize at first. It's a pity that many of our classmates may end up going the wrong way and entering the wrong door. Just like Luo Wei in our class, he was admitted with a score of 96 points in physics, only to find that he was not interested in medicine at all, but his talent and intelligence allowed him to cope with the study of medical courses with ease. Tang Boqiang said out of control.

"Oh, you mean Luo Wei, the guy in our class, who went to the Higashiyamaguchi thrift market to buy scrap parts and assemble the radio and tape recorder. I've heard about it too, and listening to your analysis today, I feel like it's a waste of his talent. Yang Longyue said very regretfully.

"Yes, in a few years or more than ten years, I believe that many people in our grade will find that they have entered the wrong profession and taken the wrong path, and I believe that many people will leave the medical industry and start anew. I hope we are not this kind of people, and I hope we can all continue to go on in the medical industry and not change our original intentions. Tang Boqiang responded.

"Yes, we will be able to persevere, and we will not change our original intention. Come, let's pull the hook, and we'll see each other later to see if we can hold on. Yang Longyue stretched out her right hand as she spoke, Tang Boqiang and Liao Yanhan were used to Yang Longyue's naughty behavior.

"Okay, let's pull the hook tonight as proof!" Tang Boqiang agreed and also stretched out his right hand, the little fingers of the two people pulled together, and everyone couldn't help laughing loudly, and the laughter was instantly drowned out in the sound of the whistle of the passing ships.

A pair of young people, standing on the riverside of the autumn night, facing the river as lively as a construction site, are saying their thoughts about this era in their hearts, when looking back on this dream-like scene decades later, Tang Boqiang not only sighed, but also had a lot of surprise: some words at that time were really fulfilled many years later.

The four-month internship in internal medicine ended quickly in a fulfilling, romantic and warm way. In mid-October 1983, Tang Boqiang's Xinqiao internship group bid farewell to their admired teacher and left the Xinqiao City they had come to love. Since then, all their subsequent internships have been carried out in the affiliated hospital of the university headquarters. The only thing that remains unchanged is that the personnel of each internship group are fixed, but they need to be fine-tuned when they go to small subjects such as neurology.

For Tang Boqiang and his family, the remaining internship subjects mainly include surgery, obstetrics and gynecology, pediatrics, infectious diseases, neurology, etc. Although Tang Boqiang aspires to become a neurologist in the future, he knows that the foundation of medicine cannot be separated so absolutely, and the intersection of knowledge points between disciplines is inevitable. Because of this, he does his best for the internship in every discipline and never allows himself to be lazy.

Surgery, obstetrics and gynecology and paediatrics are among the larger subjects, each of which has a placement period of almost four months. Neurology is clearly marginalized, with only a two-week internship, which shows how irrelevant neurology is in the eyes of students and teachers.

For Tang Boqiang, he really couldn't learn anything in 2 weeks, only a few medical records that impressed the instructor by leaving behind. Because when he left the department, Mr. Fang, who took him, gave Tang Boqiang a high evaluation because of these medical records, and this evaluation made Mr. Zhang, who was in charge of the intern work, very difficult. To be honest, in the eyes of Mr. Zhang, this group of students is very sloppy about the internship in neurology, so they are ready to be "ruthless". However, the "evidence" that Mr. Fang came up with made Mr. Zhang have to change his original intention, and Tang Boqiang inadvertently helped the students in the neurology group this time.
