Doctor Scharfschwerdt spent 15 years in some of the poorest counties in Southwest China's Yunnan province providing free medical services and training village doctors and nurses.
The man from Germany sometimes even paid for patients who could not afford their medical bills.Besides being a volunteer doctor, he was also an English teacher to middle and primary school students.He offered an English corner for village kids at a high school in Honghe to stimulate their interest in study, broaden their vision and give them personal encouragement.
To help villagers get rid of poverty in Heqing county, he ran community development projects.He bought 145 goats and then loaned them to 28 families so they could raise the goats and generate more income, and built 56 water cisterns and 48 family biogas plants.He also introduced small-scale silage pits and supported silkworm(蚕) raising.
Scharfschwerdt was deeply impressed by the progress in health care services in this remote part of China.“To me, the introduction of the rural cooperative medical insurance program and its continuous increase in coverage have had the most crucial impact on local health care,” he said.
When he arrived in Yunnan in 2000, many patients couldn't afford hospital treatment due to the absence of health insurance.In those days, many county-level hospitals had only very simple equipment, and medical concepts were based on personal experience rather than scientific evidence.With the introduction of health insurance in Heqing in 2006, the number of inpatients tripled because people could afford medical treatment, and a new hospital had to be built.Similar things happened all over Yunnan.
After having learned Chinese language and culture for two years, he moved to the countryside in 2001 to impart medical knowledge and skills to health care providers through informal bedside teaching as well as formal training courses with instructors from other countries.
Scharfschwerdt returned to Germany in 2016 but he still visits China twice every year.In the future, he plans to organize training programs in Yunnan and take young people from Germany to visit China to help them find out that China is a beautiful place and the Chinese people are hospitable.

Workers are returning to their careers, or starting new ones, after age 65.
More than ever, work is where many of us derive our sense of purpose.That doesn't end at age 65.After being retired for only three months, Sue Ellen King returned to work at the University of Florida Health in Jacksonville, Florida, where she had been a care nurse and nursing educator for 38 years.She is now working part-time in a position created just for her.“It's perfect,” she told The New York Times.“I get the satisfaction of having people appreciate what I do.” With the average life span for those who reach age 64 now stretching all the way to 84 years old, those who reach retirement age still have many potential years of work to go.
Job sites connected toward part-timers, temporary positions, and some can also turn up opportunities that may lead to longer-term work.Fred Dodd tried a part-time job after his unemployment as a risk analyst for large banks at age 63.He'd thought about retiring then.“But part of me just wanted to keep working—partly for the money, but more just because I felt I wanted to do more in my career,” he said.
The retired have the advantage of not needing to focus on the earnings potential of whatever jobs they take on, so these older workers are attracted to more meaningful work.And since they are voluntarily putting their skills and experience to good use, they may well have more flexibility than their mid-career colleagues.Two-thirds of retirees who'd come back to the work world were doing meaningful work they enjoyed.Legal work and community service were popular choices, as was teaching—all areas in which older workers might have an opportunity to make their own schedules.
Earning more money rarely seems like a bad idea, but it can cause issues for retirees, including effects when they claim social security (申请社会保障)benefits early.
语篇导读 主题语境:人与社会/社会热点问题。本文为议论文,首先讲述了许多退休者喜欢重新走向工作岗位的现象,然后分析了原因。
