Huiyu Island, situated just four kilometers off the coast of Quanzhou in Fujian Province, is home to more than a thousand residents. In 2020, Dr. Xiao Jinzhang made a significant decision to return from the mainland and take over as the island's sole medical practitioner, following in his father's footsteps.
As the only doctor on Huiyu Island, Dr. Xiao is committed to ensuring the health and wellbeing of each villager. He stays connected with his patients through regular phone calls and home visits, fostering a close-knit community bond. Additionally, he has meticulously built a comprehensive health record for nearly every individual on the island, allowing for personalized and efficient healthcare management.
Life on Huiyu Island may be serene and rarely eventful, but for Dr. Xiao, the role comes with its challenges. His position demands a significant time commitment, leaving little opportunity to visit the mainland. Nevertheless, Dr. Xiao feels a deep sense of fulfillment and stability living on the island. His dedication to serving the villagers exemplifies his commitment to their health and the community he calls home.
