The Father of Chinese Hepatobiliary Surgery (中国肝胆外科之父) — Wu Mengchao
Wu Mengchao was born in 1922. From a young age, he showed a strong interest in medicine
and was determined to be a doctor. After years of hard work, he graduated from medical
school and began his lifelong career as a surgeon (外科医生).
A significant milestone in his life was when he performed the first successful liver operation in China. Through over 70 years of hard work, he managed to treat more than 16,000 patients. He didn't just save lives; he also helped China lead the world in this field.
Wu Mengchao was persistent, selfless and devoted. Even at the age of 96, he still did three operations every week. He once said, “If one day I am too tired to work, let me fall in the operating room. That will be the greatest happiness of my life!”
People widely admire him because he spent his whole life serving the people. He is considered a true hero and a role model for all of us. The impact of his contributions can still be seen in the medical world today. He will always be remembered by the world.
