A girl from Henan who scored 699 on the Gaokao chose clinical medicine at Tsinghua University. This is a typical case of prioritizing ideals over reality. Zhang Xuefeng once said that children from ordinary rural families should not study medicine. Medical courses are difficult, the training period is long, and clinical medicine typically requires 5 years of undergraduate study, 3 years of master's, 3 years of doctoral, and 3 years of standardized residency training, meaning they won't earn their first salary until age 35. Moreover, even after finally graduating, the employment threshold is high, and getting into a top-tier hospital is extremely difficult.
