‘My Wish Fulfilled by Practicing Medicine’ by Dr Rong Shu

I look upon how much people suffer
Wishing Bian Que and Hua Tuo* were now here
Predestiny links us now and forever
To fulfill my wish: a medical career

*Bian Que and Hua Tuo: Ancient Chinese medical masters.

悬壶了愿
人间疾苦何多
扁鹊华佗难現
亘古缘牵末劫
悬壶济世了愿
