Surgeon Chen Shilong, who was awarded the Hong Kong Humanitarian Year Award in 2021, is one of the outstanding young people. He admitted that in the past, the public hospital's running-account consultations "made me forget my original intention."
Afterwards, she went to South Sudan and Yemen and other warfields to rescue, and finally understood and paid more attention to the key to communication with patients. She regained her original intention of wearing a white robe, and had a straightforward understanding of the burden of reciting the Hippocratic Oath: "When the patient is most distressed and desperate I know that there are doctors who are working hard to treat them, and there are people who cherish their lives to bring their hope.”

He, who was born in Temple Street, said that when he was young, he was surrounded by people of the three religions and nine-class people, including drug dealers and gangsters. One of his neighbors was Ji Bingxiong, the famous "King of Thieves". "But he stressed that even if many people around him look down on them as the grassroots, as long as they strive to be at the top and seize opportunities, they will eventually be able to successfully find their own path just like him.
This year's eight outstanding young people are four athletes who participated in the Olympic Games and won awards last year, including the foil gold medalist Chong Jialong, the table tennis women's team bronze medalist Li Haoqing, Du Kaiqin and Su Huiyin, and the neurosurgery department of Queen Elizabeth Hospital.

Chen Shilong: The busy work of the public hospital kills the original intention and enthusiasm
Chen Shilong participated in MSF 8 years ago, and took advantage of the 70-day holiday to go to South Sudan, Yemen and other battlefields to rescue the wounded and help the critical, each time for up to three months.
She did not deny that she went to the war-torn place because she was busy working in a public hospital, killing her original intention and enthusiasm as a doctor, "I may see 3 to 40 patients in one outpatient clinic. Whether he is sick or not, it's like a factory that keeps working, so that he forgets his original intention." Chen Shilong sighed that some patients may wait for more than two years, but only get three minutes of doctor's consultation time.

I still feel this after encountering a 13-year-old boy who was injured many times after many years
Chen Shilong has been concerned about humanitarian relief work for a long time. In order to return to her original aspiration, she is determined to join the work of MSF.
She recalled that she once treated a 13-year-old boy in Yemen. His parents were deceased and he lived with several younger brothers and sisters. When they first met, they only had minor abrasions and only a few stitches. During the process, he also talked to the boy a lot joyous.
"But the second time I saw him, I blew up Zuo's left foot, and the wound from the amputation operation didn't heal, so I left, and went to line up to grab a little guy. The third time I saw him, I was already shot multiple times. ." When talking about this experience after many years, Chen Shilong's eyes were still red, and he even choked up and couldn't speak.

"Although saving one is not effective, it is still valuable"
Because of this experience, she once questioned her role in the field rescue service: "The environment of going abroad is not ideal, even if you save her, she will go to a place where it is difficult to survive, and then get injured again and again. Re-enter Lebanon. In fact, what he needs is not a surgeon, I think he may need a good government so that he can have a more stable environment.”
But after precipitation and thinking, she found the answer for her work: "Everyone in the society has their own position. Although it is not effective to save one, it is still valuable." She understands how lucky she is. This experience It also helped her continue to work in public hospitals.
Now, she would rather delay the end of the clinic a little bit, but also seize the opportunity to communicate with patients more.

After experiencing the raging fire of war, Chen Shilong had another feeling: "In addition to treating the injured and wounded patients, another field is more important, that is, when the patient is most in pain and despair, knowing that there are doctors working hard to treat the tight land, and some people cherish their lives, so that to their hope.”
Since 2020, Shilong Chen has been an Assistant Professor of Upper Gastrointestinal and Metabolic Surgery in the Department of Surgery of the Faculty of Medicine, CUHK. During his lectures, he will emphasize to students that being a doctor must communicate with patients.
However, she reminded that if there is too much reliance on technology and lack of communication, it will lead to a lack of trust in the doctor-patient relationship, because even if the instrument can find the affected part of the body, in order to comfort the patient's mind, the doctor's inquiry is also necessary.
