The greater the poverty, The stronger the will. In the face of
hardship, Soar, soar, soar on still WANG Bo (650-676 A.D.) In the
late spring of 1958 a patient was admitted to Rui Jin Hospital with
extensive burns; just minutes before he had been dexterously
operating one of Shanghai's" productive converters" used in the
making of steel. He resembled a mass of charcoal but was mentally
alert, asserting that he must survive, not only because of the
great expectations he had of life but also to con tinue working in
his beloved post as first-generation steelworker in this newly
liberated country. The case presented a stern challenge; faced with
this man yearning both for his own life and for that of the society
in which he lived, we had no way of escaping either "poverty" (in
the form of our limited facilities) or hardships. However, by
pooling all our efforts we were able to ensure that the patient
ultimately survived the extremely tortuous course that followed, in
addition to which quite good functional recovery was achieved. So
began our burn unit. It was on this patient that we performed for
the first time artificial hibernation (in the treatment of burns),
early eschar excision, repeated autos kin cropping, and
allografting. Not only were these the decisive measures which
helped our patient to achieve his professed intention, but they
also gradually evolved to become the characteristics of our
present-day treatment.
