I enjyed Engli sh , bi ol ogy, and chemi stry at school , but whi ch one shoul d I choose to study at universi ty ?i di d not know the answer unti l one eveni ng when I sat down at the puter to do som e research on great wom en of Chi na. By chance I came across an articl e about a doctor cal ed Lin Qiaozhi, a specalist in women?s diseases. She l i ved from 1901 to 1983 . It seem ed that she had been very busy i n her chosen career , travli ng abored to study as wel as writi ng books and arti cl es. O ne of them caught m y eye. It was a smal book expl aini ng how to kepi ng babi es cl ean, heal thy and free from si di d she wri te that?Who were the wom en that Li n Qi aozhi thought needed this advi ce?I looked careful l y at the text and real i ze that it was intended for wom en i n the countrysi de. Perhaps if they had an emergency they coul d not reach a doctor. Suddenl y i t hi t m e how di ffi cult it was for a woman to get medical training ata that time. That was a generation when girl s? education was al ways pl acred decond to boys?. Was she so much cl everer than anyone el se?Further reading made me realize that it was hard work and determinati on as wel as her gentl e nature that got her i nto m edi cal school. What m ade her succeed l ater on was the kindness and consi derati on she showed to al l her patiens. There was story after story of how Lin Qiaozhi, tired after a day?s work,went l ate at night to deli ver a baby for a pool fami l y who coul d not pay her. By now I coul d not wai t to fi nd out m ore about her . I di scovered that Li n Qi aozhi had devoted her whol e l i fe to herpati ens and had chosen not to have a fami l y of her own. Instead she m ade sure that about 50, 000 babi es were safel y del ivered. By thi s tim e I was very exci ted. Why not study at m edi cal col ege l i ke Lin Qi aozhi and carry on her good work?It was stil l not too l ate for m e to i mprove my studi es, prepare for the uni versi ty entrance exam i nati ons , and … ELIZABETH FRY When the Quaker Eli zabeth m arri ed Joseph Fry,i t seem ed as i f her l i fe would be fortabl e and peaceful .H owever, El i zabeth was not content wi th her easy li fe and her growi ng fam il y.

At fi rst the pri son offi cers di d not want to l et her vi sit the wom en pri soners because they feared the pri soners woul d attack her, but Eli zabeth was not afrai d. She real i zed that the pri soners behave badl y because they were treated li ke anim al s. They had no beds,cl ean cl othes, food or heati ng. Any chi l d born i n pri son had to stay there and had no chance of an educati on. Thi s m eant they woul d probabl y have to beg or steal when they grew up and then woul d return to pri son. So the fi rst thi ng Eli zabeth di d was to provi de food, cl ean cl othes and straw for beds. Later she began a pri son school for the chi l dren and taught the wom en to sew,kni t and make goods to sel .
