Making of a Peasant Doctor

When originally published in China in 1976, the original publisher described the book as: "This is a short novel describing the growth of a ?barefoot doctor? in China's countryside. Such rural medical workers, who farm as well as prevent and cure disease (in south China, where they originated, they work barefoot in the paddy-fields), are a product of the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution and, from the very first, have been welcomed wholeheartedly by the masses of China's peasants. "The young ?barefoot doctor,? Hung-yu, educated by Mao Tsetung Thought, is keen on improving his skill, determined to serve his fellow villagers heart and mind, and brave in fighting the class enemy. The story gives warm praise to the great victory of Chairman Mao's revolutionary line in medicine. "The events of the story stand out vividly, presenting a true-to-life picture of China's countryside today."Hsiao, Yang is the author of 'Making of a Peasant Doctor' with ISBN 9781589637085 and ISBN 1589637089.
