In my 60 years′ career of burn medicine, I worked in rural areas for more than 3 years, such as joining in a touring medical team, saving lives wounded in a flood disaster, marching and camping training, carrying out open-door medical teaching, etc. All these experiences made me set up my medical ethics and enhance my medical skills under tough conditions of lacking medical services and medicines. In addition, I developed the abilities to innovate and refine my treatments for patients based on practical environments.
