Meng Xi really wanted to prove herself!
Standing in front of her own teacher, telling him how wrong his initial choice was!
She knew this process might take a long time.
But she's not afraid!
Yet, she never expected that one day, her own student could put her on a stage that even her teacher dreamed of!
Presenting a classification standard that every cardiovascular surgeon dreams of.
That night, Meng Xi cried all night.
Proud as she was, she was not afraid of failure.
But even a heart of stone fears the softness of love, and even more so, the kindness of others.
Chen Cang gave the aortic classification standard and method to Meng Xi!
Allowing her to stand proudly on the stage of the AATS 2020 meeting, declaring that this was the joint achievement of her and her students.
Meng Xi insisted on going home from the hospital, buried herself under the covers, and cried all night.
And today!
