A brief description of the content
Shi Huaizhe, a jungle doctor, loves and helps others. His life is touching and curious. Shi's spirit of overcoming many difficulties and unremitting struggle throughout his life is enough to be a model for the younger generation. There are many books about Shi Huaizhe, each with its own characteristics. In order to make readers have a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of Shi's life, the editor compiled this biography of Shi Huaizhe with special reference to four books introducing Shi's life, hoping that readers can find the answers they want from this book.
Based on the life story of history, this book discusses his birth, growth, ideological formation and ideal practice from his real life.
Although Shi's great and respectable friendship took place in Africa, his birthplace, his hometown, his family, his relatives, his neighbors, his classmates and his teachers ... were the places where his love sprouted and the factors that made his good ideas grow. Equality and compassion in the broth incident, respect for life in the slingshot incident ... From many short stories, we can see Shi's unique personality traits: sincere concern for others, serious thinking about the problems encountered, and practical implementation of his own ideas. If you want to do it, you will never give up. He loved music, persevered and eventually became the authority of Bach's music. He likes to think about life problems and seek answers, and finally got a doctorate in philosophy; His ambition is to become a priest and solve problems for people. At the age of twenty-five, he got a master's degree in theology and became an assistant priest. When he saw the report of the shortage of medical personnel in Africa, he returned to medicine, spent seven years getting his doctorate in medicine, and went to the wild without hesitation.
Shi spent most of his life in the tropical jungle, trying to save the body and mind of the local aborigines. His frustration, torture, hardship and comfort are recorded in detail in this book. History takes it as its duty to save the misfortune and poverty of others. The place he went to-Rambalun, French equatorial Africa, is a fairly primitive forest area. They are greeted by endless towering trees, water, sinister sunshine, oversized insects, mosquitoes and flies, as well as diseases and poverty of local people. The broken henhouse in the missionary's office was his first free clinic, and there were many patients with heart disease, lung disease, mental illness, defecation, rubber disease and pus injury. Tropical dysentery, leprosy, sleeping sickness, sunburn and scabies are more common and terrible, but the most terrible enemies are the local people's wrong ideas about diseases and their careless, stealing and wasting habits.
The locals call him "Oganga"-a man of god. Shi Huaizhe treated their bodies day and night and cared for their souls. He is also the strict father, elder brother, foreman and close friend of the natives. In the jungle, he personally built hospitals, made bricks, prepared prescriptions and expanded farms with the natives. After the two world wars, Shi Huaizhe and his wife were detained because of their German status, or put into a French prison camp, so they were infected with dysentery and sunburn. For a long time, they have suffered from diseases and often face famine and lack of funds. He went to European countries to hold speeches and concerts to raise funds, and his enthusiasm finally resonated with bishops and caring people all over the world. He keeps expanding equipment and rebuilding hospitals to take care of more patients.
In the wilderness, he not only practiced medicine to save people, but also played Bach, read Goethe and wrote The Philosophy of Civilization. He realized the truth of "fearing life". He said: "If respect for life cannot reach all other lives, it is incomplete. He not only realized his ideal, but also did not give up his personal interest. With great perseverance, he opened a rich and touching chapter in life, which is admirable!
Read Shi's life carefully, and no one can but be moved by his lofty mind! His selfless love spread to the aborigines, including all other lives. His hospital is also a pet home! His love for the natives is impartial and sincere, and his noble friendship only thinks of altruism and others, never selflessness. Religious spirit like this is admirable and fascinating. While reading and praising Shi Huaizhe's life, we hope that we can also put forward some imitation ideas from the heart!
