As a five-year-old girl, Lin Qiaozhi was deeply affected by her mother's death. At age 18, instead of following the traditional path of marriage like the majority of girls, she chose to study medicine. "Why should girls learn so much? Finding a good husband should be their final goal! " her brother complained, thinking of the high tuition fees. She responded, "I'd rather stay single to study all my life!"
