Li Xuezeng: a person's "120"

"Ding 00", a rush of phone ringing woke Li Xuezeng, a good man in Lixian County, from his lunch break. The caller was Huang Cai, an empty nest old man from Xinxing Village, Xinxing Town, the county. "Dr. Li, my strained right hip is walking too much and hurts badly today. Can you come and have a look for me?" After answering the phone, Li Xuezeng picked up the medicine box and drove straight to Xinxing Village, 20 miles away.

Li Xuezeng, 64, a cadre transferred from the army in 1983, successively worked in township organs and health departments, and went through the formalities of leaving his post ahead of time during the institutional reform in 2002. He is diligent and studious, has obtained the qualification certificate of practicing medicine, and is good at treating common diseases of the elderly through the combination of traditional Chinese and western medicine. Because he is willing to help others, he was rated as "Lixian good person" by Lixian Civilization Committee in 2015.

In the first year after he left his post, many patients went to his home for treatment. Worried that the noise would affect the rest of his neighbors, Li Xuezeng rented a room nearby to open an outpatient clinic after the Spring Festival in 2003. Li Xuanzeng said: "I do not work as a doctor to make money. For the retired elderly, the disabled and the elderly with minimum living allowances, medical and physical treatment fees will always be waived."

Shortly after the clinic opened, he wanted to provide door-to-door service to some elderly people who were unable to move, but he had to take care of the clinic, so he sat down in the morning and made house calls in the afternoon, and he would rush there even at night in case of emergency. He volunteered to serve people in urban and rural areas throughout the county, and nearly half of the 232 natural villages had patients he had treated. At first, he went out to treat everyone by bike or motorcycle. Later, he felt that it was inconvenient to carry medical equipment in that way. In case critically ill patients need to be transferred to hospital, they still had to look for a car. So, when he was in his 50s, he began to learn to drive. After getting a driver's license, he bought a car as a first aid free special car and hung the sign "learn from Lei Feng 120" for 10 years.

Zhang Ying, a 72-year-old man in Nancheng community, is a poor family. He suffers from severe rheumatoid disease. Li Xuezeng has treated her free of charge for 14 consecutive years, regardless of day, night, wind, rain and snow. On a snowy night in the winter of 2009, Zhang Ying's son called Li Xuanzeng to say that his mother had rheumatoid disease again, and the pain was so painful that he could not even turn over. Li Xuezeng said, "Don't worry. I'll be right there." At that time, the snow was half a foot thick. For the sake of safety, he walked more than two miles to Zhang Ying's house for symptomatic treatment, carrying a medicine kit and equipment on his back, and was busy until 3: 00 in the morning.

Over the past 14 years, he can't remember how many people Li Xuezeng has treated and how much money he has put up. He only knows that about 500 jin of alcohol and more than 70,000 syringes have been used to disinfect alcohol. Everyone affectionately called him "one person's 120".

Someone asked him, "other people run the clinic to make money, but you put money into it. What are you looking for?" Li Xuezeng said affectionately, "I am a member of the Communist Party. My wife, my wife and my daughter all have a salary, and I can get by financially. I just want to help those who need help, because I was rescued by others to save my life!" It turned out that in the early 1960s, Li Xuezeng, who was less than 10 years old, had a severe typhoid fever and was in critical condition for four consecutive days with a high fever. The medical team sent by the county treated him free of charge, stayed in front of his hospital bed every day, physically cooled down, injected and fed medicine, and after careful treatment, he was finally out of danger on the fifth day. "one should learn to be grateful! As long as I can move, I will always do good things. "
