He has been practicing medicine for more than 70 years
Academician Wu Mengchao treated nearly 20,000 patients
Due to years of surgery, Elder Wu's right hand has been deformed
The tip of the index finger is slightly curved inward
Not suitable for signing and eating
But it is the smoothest position to hold a scalpel
Both are lovers
Also like-minded friends
Academician Wu Mengchao and Professor Wu Peiyu
They met in 1941 on the outskirts of Kunming, Yunnan
The Affiliated Middle School of Tongji University
Since then, he has been admitted to the medical school of Tongji University
In 1951, the two married
They have been in love for sixty years
A mixture of bubbles
"Feel free to do it
Leave it at home, I'll come."
Doctors are busy at work
But the two never quarreled
Wu Peiyu once said
"I was young with Old Wu
More jobs in hospitals
It's rare to have time together, so there's no quarrel
When I get older
We all know to be considerate and understand each other
And not to quarrel."
After Wu Peiyu died
Wu Mengchao once said guiltily
"I didn't take good care of her, I didn't take good care of her
She sometimes talks about me
Made the home a hotel
But whenever I have a new task
She'll tell me, feel free to do it
The morning of January 20, 2022
This pair has been together for 60 years
They were buried together
Shanghai Fushouyuan East Garden - Fenghe Garden
From young people know each other and love each other
To hand in hand through the long years
Their stories are moving
Cloaked in liver and gallbladder, the healer is benevolent
salute! Remember!
