My name is Zhao Wei, I am 42 years old, from Tianshui, Gansu, currently living in the United States, is a doctor. My life has changed from birth to fixed. Several generations of ancestors were traditional Chinese medicine. In my generation, it was considered a change of family and learning Western medicine. As for medical skills, it can be said that I have been with me since I was a child, so my life is simple and hardworking.
After studying in China, I went to Johns Hopkins University in Maryland to study for my master's degree and doctoral degree. Then I stayed in a well-known hospital in the United States and worked as a surgeon. My girlfriend I talked about in the United States has returned to China to get married, and now my wife and children are with me.
A person's life always needs to continue to grow. No matter what industry he is engaged in, he is diligent and down-to-earth. American medicine is indeed developed, but it is also compared to some cutting-edge technologies, but sometimes there are many troubles. Today I won’t talk about work, I will only talk about my life in the United States.
In 1980, I was born in a traditional Chinese medicine family in Tianshui City, Gansu Province. I grew up smelling the smell of Chinese medicine. My mother is a middle school teacher. There is also a brother who is both literary and martial, who does not inherit the tradition of the family and engages in medical work, but becomes a soldier.
I have been a very careful boy since I was a child. I am good at observing and know more about cold and hot. Sometimes when I see people who are seriously ill at home, I will be scared to tears and take the initiative to ask my grandma to cook for the patients. This is a widely circulated thing in our local area.
When I was a child, I didn’t like exercise very much. I basically spent it at home and school. I had no friends. I had excellent academic performance and was easy to learn. My parents never have to worry about my studies. My grandfather has planned for me a long time ago. Before going to high school, I will teach me a lot of Chinese medicine attempts. In the future, I will go to medical college, and basically this is the case.
Sometimes a person’s life does not need to be so bright, it only needs to be plain.
It is not difficult to see from my personality that I am a person who is indifferent to the world, but I am very active in studying. It is not to compare with anyone, but I just think that learning is the most basic job. If I can’t even do this job well, then the future peace talks will be successful?
After entering high school, I began to study English hard because I wanted to learn the most advanced shell technology in the world. In order to learn English, the teacher would give me a single hour of homework every day. Of course, this requires labor remuneration. After the college entrance examination, my English score was 1 point worse, and I was successfully admitted to Beijing Yisheng Medical College.
Four years of college, I lived a fulfilling life, had no sweet love, had never participated in any club, and had never traveled anywhere. In this way, I spent my college career and came to the United States to study for a master's degree.
Before going to the United States, my whole family practiced it for me. This was a treatment I had never had before. Even my brother who was in the army came back and said goodbye to me. At that time, I only had one feeling in my heart: the task is long and the way is long.
Because I speak English very well, there is nothing wrong with it after arriving in the United States. Except for the fact that I can’t eat the noodles from my hometown here, there are basically Chinese restaurants and many dishes can be eaten in many cuisines. However, these visits have changed to cater to the taste of Americans, but I always ask the chefs to make the taste of my hometown, and they also express respect to me, so I adapted quickly in the United States.
After finishing his master's degree, he did not rush to return to China, but instead studied for a doctorate. He spent more time studying medicine in the United States. He studied for 11 years and finally obtained a doctorate degree. It was also during my PhD that I met my current wife Arlene. She is from Yancheng, Jiangsu Province. After studying in the United States, she stayed here to work like me.
I remember when I first met my wife, she was still a rich girl’s personality, and her style of doing things was completely inconsistent with me. According to my personality, it may be that except for the fact that they are all Chinese people, it is difficult for us to have social interactions under normal circumstances, but it is only when we love each other and make changes together that we can finally get together.
When I got married, I was already 36 years old and my wife was 31 years old. Because I didn’t want American nationality, I returned to days water and got married and returned to work in the United States. At that time, many friends in the Chinese circle said it was a pity, but for me, now I am learning skills and will definitely return to China if I succeed in my studies in the future.
To be honest, the laboratories in the United States are indeed very complete and well-developed, which is why I don’t want to return to China early. I always feel that my academic performance has not achieved satisfactory results.
My parents have been urging us to go back because sometimes many things are inconvenient. For example, when giving birth, my wife gave birth to her in China, and then she came to the United States again after the full month. Sometimes the child needs a household registration certificate to go to school, so she has to explain it patiently to the school.
Of course, another part is salary. My annual salary in the United States is US$290,000, and there are various benefits. For example, the apartment we live in is provided by the hospital, with 230 square meters and a swimming pool.
My parents have lived in old houses for so many years, and sometimes it is not convenient for us to go back. My wife said before that she wanted to buy a house in Lanzhou for too long, but in my opinion, her parents need a brand new house. In 2019, she bought a house for her parents and elder brother. This is also a little bit of filial piety to her parents.
Born as a human being, it is simple. It is a blessing to have your own career at the age of struggle, and it is a blessing to have the healthy company of parents at the age of filial piety.
After the epidemic, we will set off, return to our parents, return to our hometown, and make a small contribution to our own.
