一位大龄、低分、屡败屡战多年、终于如愿以偿进入美国住院医生的中国医生、我的学弟，在他度
过了最困难的第一年后，给我的来信——感谢他对我的信任，给我来信报告自己的进展。他的成
功，大概是中国医（学）生里几乎无人置信的困境之下取得的。他的勇气和坚持不懈的努力深深地
感动和鼓舞着我。与其说我辅导和帮助他，更多地是他给予了我更强烈的震撼和鼓舞。我从他身上
学到和感受到的大概更多。更深刻地理解了：人生，没有栽几跤，没有尝尝苦头，那将是多么乏味
啊……

学弟，感谢你的坚持不懈努力过程及成功给予我的启发和鼓舞，感谢你的来信！

医网情深：一位大龄住院医生的远方来信


Dear Dr. He,

Greetings! I hope this email finds you well.

Time flies. It's been two years since we met at NYC when I did my pathology observation with
you. It's also the time now I can say that I've survived my first year residency. I thought I should
write you to give my little update.

I have been doing fine here at my current program. Although there is a lot of work and readings, I
feel I am now on the right track, rather than struggling in the dark during last couple of
months......,the only tough thing is my family is far away from me, I have to fly back home nearly
every month， but my wife understood it and we are working on getting us together.

I will not forget that you taught me the tricks and tips for residency match on our way driving to
your office. I've been very grateful for your encouragement and strong support during my most
difficult time. I am sure I will continue to look for suggestions and wisdoms from you along my
career path.

Although I did not speak to you directly for a while, I have been reading your posts on Wechat
which I am enjoying very much.

Hope I see you in the near future and hope all the best to you!

Sincerely,

HZ
