MOTHER OF TEN THOUSAND BABIES
万婴之母
“Life is precious. ... To a person nothing is more precious than their life, and if they entrust me with that life, how could I refuse that trust, saying I’m cold, hungry, or tired?” These words of Dr Lin Qiaozhi give us a look into the heart of this amazing woman, and what carried her through a life of hard choices.
“生命诚可贵。……对一个人来说,生命是最宝贵的,而现在这个人对你说,我把生命交给你,那么你还说什么呢?你冷?你饿?你困?” 从林巧稚医生的这番话,我们可以看到这位伟大女性的内心世界,以及到底是什么支撑着她走过充满艰难抉择的一生。
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!”
林巧稚五岁时母亲病故,这对她影响极大。十八岁时,她没有像大多数的女孩那样走上婚姻这一传统道路,而是选择了学医。“女孩子读那么多书干嘛?找个好丈夫才是她们的归宿!”她的兄弟一想到高昂的学费就这么抱怨。她回答:“我宁愿一辈子不嫁人,也要学医!”

Dr Lin, however, rejected the offer. She wanted to serve the women and children at home.
八年后,林巧稚毕业于北京协和医学院,并获得了该校毕业生的最高荣誉奖——“文海”奖学金。她随即成为北京协和医学院妇产科有史以来第一位被聘为住院医师的女性。不到六个月,她就成了住院主任医师,而升任这一职位通常需要四年时间。工作了几年之后,她被派往欧洲学习,之后于1939年又赴美学习。美国同行对她印象极佳,邀请她留下。但是,林医生谢绝了邀请。她希望服务祖国的妇女和儿童。
In 1941, Dr Lin became the first Chinese woman ever to be appointed director of the OB-GYN department of the PUMC Hospital, but just a fe
