In 1964. Li Qifang was born in Hainan Lingshui County, Lingshui Town, a small mountain village, secondary school age Li Qifang is an outstanding student. 1979, only 15 years old is reading the second year of high school, with a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers of self-confidence, he enrolled in the college entrance examination, I did not expect to be admitted to the Hainan Medical College medical professional undergraduate class, become the youngest in the school, the childish young college students.
As a lucky man of his time, Li Qifang had a smooth journey, and after graduation, he was assigned to work in Hainan's highest-ranking hospital, the People's Hospital of the Hainan Administrative Region, and was soon professionally oriented as a cranio-cerebral surgeon under the tutelage of the renowned cranio-cerebral surgeon, Dr. Shiksham.
Smooth sailing, spring, only 20 years old, it is the age of youth like fire, for Li Qifang. That is his life work, learning youthful passion burning years.
At that time, the doctors assigned to Hainan Hospital from the country's medical schools, naturally, there is no shortage of famous institutions. Although young, although graduated from the unheard of college, but with hard learning, superb technology, forgetful work attitude, Li Qifang in dozens of young doctors stand out. He has been recognized as the hospital's "excellent doctor", has been a representative of young workers on the stage, has introduced the learning and working experience for the young doctors who have just been assigned to the hospital, and has been designated as "the most promising young doctors" and focused on training by the hospital.
Ideal unit, ideal professional, promising future, Li Qifang has a full grade classmates, contemporaneous graduation of young people envious of things. But after 4 years of work, Li Qifang unexpectedly chose to leave home, drifting in a foreign land.
"With such good working conditions and living conditions, why did you choose to go abroad at that time?" The author asked him during the interview.
"Let me sprouted abroad to study the factors are: First, the hospital director is the return of foreign students to the dean, extensive knowledge, excellent technology, outstanding achievements, is my model; Second, the spring breeze of reform and opening up, a wave of English fever in the country. The young doctors in the hospital spontaneously organized an 'English Salon', from which I got a lot of foreign information. Thus, I recognized that to have better prospects for professional development, I should go abroad for further study."
"A stone stirs up a thousand waves". Li Qifang's decision to study abroad, was surrounded by relatives, friends and classmates strongly opposed. They agreed that, in Hainan Hospital, so smooth and smooth go on, Li Qifang will certainly grow into a well-known cranio-cerebral surgeon; Western countries unanimously do not recognize China's medical university diploma, not to mention the diploma of the specialized schools. If he could not pass the English test, he could only become a lowly wage-earning citizen. The fact is that the government has not yet adopted the principle of "one country, two systems" and "one country, two systems" in its policy of "one country, two systems".
All in all, in a variety of pressures, Li Qifang's choice is undoubtedly the need for sufficient courage, like in the vast ocean above to choose a new direction, and this new direction can not rely on the shore reefs and islands, but also can not foresee the future,
Li Qifang went abroad to go to the road of self-funded studies, his father is a grass-roots cadres, his mother is a rural teacher, the stretched family background, the family's family is a little bit of money, and the family has a lot of money.
These are the first time I've ever seen a woman in the world who has been in the world for a long time, and I've never seen her in the world for a long time.
Perhaps the inherent toughness and persistence of the bone, knowing that the road to go abroad is bumpy and unpredictable, Li Qifang bites the green mountain and does not relax.
After a year of deliberation, Li Qifang set his sights on Australia, where a friend of his father's friend acted as his financial guarantor.
"When I left the country, a friend saw my backpack with a large pile of medical information, said to me, where you go is when the wage earner, where there is a doctor for you to be? I smiled and said to him, the work is to fight, but the doctor is always to be ......."
In September 1988, this is an important dialysis point in Li Qifang's life. Carrying a simple bag of his, with a "male ambition out of the countryside, learning is not vowed not to return, buried bones do not have to mulberry outlet, nowhere on earth is not the green hills," and the faint melancholy, bid farewell to their loved ones, bid farewell to their hometowns.
When Li Qifang rode the silver eagle rushed into the blue sky, he was like an eagle that dares to fight in the sky, flying from the northern hemisphere to the southern hemisphere. The strange country, unfamiliar environment, unfamiliar people, no relatives Li Qifang arrived in Sydney on the second day, carrying a certificate of graduation and work experience letter of introduction of a hospital to find a job, the results of which, everywhere touched the dust. The Australian government will not recognize the Chinese doctor's certificate," he said.
In order to survive, he had to work in a coffee shop as a waiter, a cleaner, and a handyman for a renovation company. After a few months, he found a job as a medical equipment cleaner in a hospital, which he felt lucky to be close to medicine and to have the opportunity to communicate with the medical staff to help improve his medical English.
Looking back at the difficult process of finding a job, Li Qifang said in a flirtatious tone: "At that time, we borrowed Mao Zedong's quotes to encourage ourselves to 'make up our minds, not afraid of sacrifices, and overcome all difficulties to get a job! .
In the process of half-work and half-study, he gradually gained a comprehensive understanding of the Australian government's policies. From the importance of national health, and Western European countries, Australia is very important to the quality of doctors, the establishment of both the medical school or to obtain a specialist medical, general practitioner and unconditional business license qualification threshold are high and daunting. Secondary school students are required to be among the highest achievers in order to enroll in medicine (and to a lesser extent, lawyers). A minimum of six years of medical school is required, and after graduation you can only work in public hospitals and have a few years of clinical experience before you can apply for specialist or general practitioner training, which lasts three to five years, and then you have to go through a variety of rigorous exams before you can qualify as a general practitioner or specialist, and become qualified to work as a doctor in a public hospital, a private hospital, or to practise on your own. In Australia, after graduating from medical school, one has to struggle for at least seven years before one can qualify as a general practitioner or specialist. As for doctors from overseas, no matter how high-level hospitals you come from and no matter how many years of clinical experience you have, in order to obtain the qualification of specialist or general practitioner, you have to go through a rigorous examination by a specialized agency, and you have to go through a series of very harsh examinations. The first step is a medical English test; the second step is a written test, in which more than 200 questions on basic clinical knowledge are completed within a specified period of time; and the third step is a clinical knowledge test, which includes an oral test and an on-site diagnostic test. According to statistics, over the past few years, doctors from all over the world can pass the exam only 20% of the first time, pass those who do not have the opportunity to re-examination by the annual participation in the re-examination of the quota limit, if more than the limited number of times the examination and still can not pass the examination, will be forever lost the opportunity to examination, that is, the lifelong can not get a specialist or general practitioner qualification.
As with all overseas travelers who have drifted to other countries to study, Li Qifang's years in Sydney were hard and bitter, because most of the tens of thousands of dollars spent abroad were borrowed, and he had to work part-time to send home to pay off his debts.
"Those days, I went out early every day and came back late in the morning to listen to lectures, working in restaurants in the afternoon until 11 o'clock at night, and then waiting for the bus, bus back to the residence is the middle of the night, lying on the bed of the whole body bones as fast as scattered. But again tired and sleepy in the morning alarm clock and have to get up ......", talking about that period of working life, Li Qifang tone gloomy.
Although the work is no technical content of the work, but Li Qifang soul is still his own profession. He hopes to find a breakthrough in basic medical research into clinical work. To this end, he utilized the conditions of the hospital as an instrument cleaner, and entrusted friends and acquaintances to look for neurosurgery experts and professors to help.
The city is bustling, the sea of people is vast, in the eyes of no relatives in a foreign country, whether it is to find a job to earn money or to find people to help, Li Qifang's state of mind, like China's famous female poet Li Qingzhao's poems described as "searching for, cold and clear, miserable and tragic. The first warm and cold time, the most difficult to rest ......".
In 1990, he got the support and help from Professor Richard Boner, who was engaged in the anatomy and physiology of brain surgery at the School of Medicine of the University of Sydney, and this kind professor introduced Li Qifang to his research institute as his assistant researcher, which gave him a platform to carry out basic research. Li Qifang treasured this hard-earned job and redoubled his efforts, writing several scientific research papers, including "Research on the Function of Paracellular Cells in the Midbrain Conducting Pipes," which was read at the 1991 Australian Neurological Basic Science Annual Meeting, and was praised by the participating experts, and the Institute also found his talent in it, and gave him two scholarships to pursue his doctoral degree, one of them was to pay for the tuition fee without having to work part-time, and the other was to pay for living expenses. The first is a scholarship to pay for tuition without having to work part-time, and the other is a scholarship to pay for living expenses.
Li Qifang created an opportunity with his hard work, which gave him not only a broad platform and rich resources, but also a broader vision and the accumulation of life. Here in the study, research, he has a "wide sea by the fish leap, the sky is high enough to let the birds fly," the pleasure, but also to appreciate more than others wonderful.
So, since 1992, Li Qifang began to study for a degree at the University of Sydney Medical School. He was doing doctoral research while studying for the medical student exams at the medical school, and his aim was to improve his medical English and test his basic medical knowledge. To his surprise, he came out on top among the 70 candidates, and was the only one from abroad. The result of this examination, greatly enhanced his self-confidence.
Because entangled in the brain of the lingering dream of doing the old profession, although reading the blog all the way to the wind, but when the following year through the general practitioner examination, in particular, to get the Australian permanent residency permit, he resolutely to the school to take a break for a year or two ......
Speaking of participating in Australia's general practitioner exams, Li Qifang recalled In other words, I was competing with overseas doctors from all over the world. Upon hearing that I was from China and had graduated from a specialized school in Hainan, some looked at me with suspicion and disdain, while others bluntly poured cold water on me. The result? The first step of the medical English test I was a pass; the second step is also a pass. As far as I know, only a few of the dozens of candidates in the same examination center with me passed, and the others were all brushed off. This is very rare for non-English-speaking candidates, as only 10% of the thousands of doctors from English-speaking backgrounds who took the exam at that time passed. The third step of the clinical examination, two professional professors sitting in front of you, a person after a person to ask questions, one question after another question, did not give you time to think slowly, that is, to test the degree of solidity of your basic knowledge, thinking about the sensitivity of the problem, judgment and analysis of the ability to synthesize the problem. I did not pass the first examination, the following year that is, 1996, passed, obtained the qualification of general practitioner, that is, equivalent to our country from the medical school graduated from the qualification of general practitioners. However, I could not practice on my own, and if I wanted to obtain a license to practice, I had to undergo further clinical training before submitting an application to the Royal Australasian Medical Society. By the way, speaking of here, have to introduce the Royal Australian Medical Association, the medical association is a national authoritative medical association, to obtain membership, have to go through the Australian famous experts and professors of the strict examination, rigorous examination (the examination is divided into oral and written examination), but also to the hospital for two years in each department rotation, but also to the countryside as a rural doctor for two years in order to fulfill the obligation to serve for the people, for the country, and so on a series of training and assessment, before obtaining the license to practice. Only after a series of training and assessment can they obtain the membership of the Medical Association and practise independently. In Australia, it is already very difficult for overseas doctors to qualify as specialists or general practitioners. Many people stop at this point in their struggle and are contented. But I am a strong personality. Only specialist or general practitioner qualification can only work as a doctor in public or private hospitals. If you obtain an unconditional business license and start your own practice, the income of a general practitioner is more than five times of that of a doctor in the above hospitals, and that of a specialist is more than ten times. Of course, income is one aspect, on the other hand, the Royal Australian Medical Association unconditional practicing certificate is a litmus test of the level and ability of the practitioner. In the process of fighting for the Royal Australian Medical Association's unconditional practicing certificate for general practitioners, I went to Sydney Royal Hospital, geriatrics, gynecology, pediatrics, and medical-surgical hospitals for two years to rotate each department, and received systematic training as a general practitioner, and then went to the countryside as a rural doctor for two years, to fulfill the obligation to serve the people and the country".
Ten years of hard work, hard struggle, thorny through the GP exam, and then receive five years of hospital general practitioner training and two years as a country doctor, in January 2003, Li Qifang completed all the training of general practitioners, returned to Sydney, after the Royal Society of Doctors GP exam in 2004, finally got the unconditional license to operate as a GP.
"A broad view of the world, a thick layer of knowledge, and a thin layer of hair. This business license, infused with your 17 years of blood and sweat, its its gold content than the gold content of the doctorate degree is still high. Although you did not finish reading the doctorate, but the depth and breadth of medical knowledge, you are not a doctor but better than a doctor. As a teacher who has taught your class, I am proud to have such an excellent student," the author appreciated.
"It can be said that in order to get this business license September 1988, this is an important dialysis point in the life of Li Qifang. Many people are crossing the river by touching the stone.... The sky is the limit, 17 years of hard work and sweat, Li Qifang success! It can be said that in order to get this business license, I put in more than twice as much effort and sweat than to get a doctorate degree. A lot of doctors from China are sincere to ask me to teach the way to success ......," Li Qifang said bluntly.
Seventeen years of spring and autumn, seventeen years of bitter struggle, from a wage earner in the lowest stratum of society step by step to struggle to the Australian society, first-class citizens, Li Qifang realized his original ideals, "the work is to be played, the doctor is also to be". However. It is difficult to describe the sweetness and bitterness of this. As the saying goes, there is something to gain and something to lose, because buried in study, struggle, not much time to accompany his wife and daughter, his ex-wife can not withstand the loneliness and red apricot wall, so that he had to face the pain of marital rupture, family disintegration ......
A philosopher said this sentence: "The more you select the The more difficult and rugged the road, the more fascinating the scenery may have". With his attitude of treating patients as his own and his high cure rate, he was praised by the local people and the medical department, which made him famous for a while and made him feel the joy of success.
After receiving his unconditional GP license, in order to make the upcoming clinic better serve the local population, based on an in-depth study of the Sydney area, he chose the northern part of Sydney - Lingle, which has a high prevalence of skin cancer, to raise funds for the opening of a GP and skin cancer clinic, which has two specialists, two doctors, two doctors and two doctors of medicine. In addition to himself, the clinic has two specialists, two undergraduates, gastroenterology, obstetrics and gynecology, physiotherapy, nutrition and psychotherapy. His clinic became a medical center with advanced equipment and complete subjects in the region, which was generally welcomed by patients and praised by the local medical department, and many patients drove more than 100 kilometers to see him. At the beginning of the opening, the daily reception of the patient has a hundred people.
........................... .............................. .............................. ...
Near the end of the interview, the author said to Li Qifang: "You are a model for overseas doctors moving to Australia, is the glory of the Chinese people, but also makes the alma mater very proud of a student, can you talk about your feelings and say a few words to the teachers and siblings of the sea medicine?"
"Wherever I say I am a graduate of Hainan Medical College, no one believes me. Because so many graduates of famous medical universities in China can not do what I am doing today. However, I think that no matter in which institution graduated, everyone has the same opportunity. Do not think that the sea medical graduates are lower than others, where there is a will there is a way, as long as you determine the goal of the struggle, the courage to forge ahead, the courage to struggle, Hainan Medical College can also come out of the great talent"
"You must have a platform for the development of the ability to show your level of your ability, you must be adept at the lessons learned from the failure to learn from the success to get motivated, from the competition to get a lesson, from the success to get motivated, from the success to get motivated, from the success to get a lesson. You must be good at learning from failure, getting motivation from success, and growing from competition. ......"
"Australia absorbs hundreds of clinically experienced staff to work in Australia every year, which provides opportunities for those who wish to further their studies overseas, but, of course, they have to build up a good foundation in medical English in the first place. Although the struggle was difficult and tortuous, I came through step by step with the strength of self-confidence and tenacity. I hope that the path of my siblings will be smoother than mine!" Li Qifang said sincerely.
When I enthusiastically invited him to return to the school on December 6 this year to participate in the celebration of the sixtieth anniversary of the founding of the school, he said: "I went back to China at the end of last year, visited my alma mater's new school, very encouraged. I would like to go back to participate in the celebration, but December is the clinic's busiest season of the year, I'm afraid it's difficult to get away, but I will do my bit for my alma mater's celebration."
In the words of the cloudy and breezy, this outstanding student's gratitude to his alma mater is overflowing.
