"Yes, I told my Lulu early on that she should either get into Zhongshan Medical University or give up studying and go to Zhongshan University of Finance and Economics so that she could go to other medical schools. So my Lulu went to the University of Finance and Economics."
The joy that Sun Rongfang had when she came was gone.
Seeing her cousin's expression, Zhou Ruomei became interested and called out, "Hurry up and make some tea. Didn't you say you like foreign tea? This black tea is delicious. Try it. It's directly from abroad."
Sun Rongfang didn't know how to respond. It was totally unexpected that her daughter's dream of becoming a doctor was so difficult. She knew that doctors were divided into different levels, but she didn't expect that the college entrance examination would be so cruel.
"A guest is coming." The door of the study in the house opened, and a tall, gentle man wearing glasses walked out. It was Zhou Ruomei's husband Ding Yuhai.
"Hello, brother-in-law." Sun Rongfang turned around and greeted him.
"I heard you want to apply to medical school?" It seemed that Ding Yuhai had already overheard the conversation in the living room.
"Yes, Yingying said she wanted to be a surgeon." Sun Rongfang said hastily for her daughter, thinking that perhaps her cousin's husband and cousin had different opinions.
“This is a dream.”
...
...
Ding Yuhai's sudden pouring of cold water on her frightened Sun Rongfang to death.
Zhou Ruomei smiled and patted her husband's arm: "Save some face for my cousin. They don't understand medicine."
"So doesn't this need to be made clear to them? She wants to be a surgeon? Obstetrics and gynecology is also surgery. Does she want to be an obstetrician and gynecologist?" Ding Yuhai interrogated.
Xie Wanying, who had been silent and only looking at the floor, raised her head and answered, "No, I want to be a cardiothoracic surgeon."
"Cardiogastrocnemius surgeon?" Ding Yuhai kept shaking his head. "As far as I know, there is not a single female cardiothoracic surgeon in the country."
"The other day the newspaper said there was a--" Sun Rongfang also heard about this from her daughter who read the newspaper.
"The newspapers use propaganda language. I know who you're talking about. That person was sent abroad by China to get more experience. From what I know, the director of their hospital asked her to perform a few surgeries to get them in the newspapers to enhance the image of their hospital. In fact, none of the most important surgeries in their department will be performed by her. It's just that, women can't be surgeons. Obstetrics and gynecology is an exception because patients and their families have requested it. Cardiothoracic surgery is the most difficult and riskiest of all surgical departments. The director of surgery and the director of the hospital will never hand over such operations to a female surgeon."
"Why can't women do this?" Sun Rongfang asked hesitantly.
"Can a woman stay up all night? Can a woman stand by the operating table for 24 hours without feeling tired? Female doctors have fixed menstrual periods. During which days of the month can you be on the operating table without any problems?"
What she said was all true. Sun Rongfang hung her head.
"Tell your daughter Yingying to stop being a doctor and study finance to become an accountant or a teacher. These are popular professions for women in men's circles and they will have no problem getting married in the future." Zhou Ruomei made plans for her cousin.
"No, I want to be a doctor. I want to apply to the capital's medical university, the National Medical University, an eight-year undergraduate, master's and doctoral program, majoring in surgery, which only accepts ten people in a class." Xie Wanying said word by word. For her, who was reborn, she finally had the chance to realize this lofty dream, and she would definitely grab it.
