Xie Wanying defied expectations when she returned to 1996, determined to become a doctor despite her humble origins as a truck driver's daughter. Dismissed by skeptics who claimed "a phoenix begets a phoenix, a dog begets a dog," she set her sights even higher—becoming a female thoracic surgeon in a field where none existed. Her ambition proved unstoppable. Armed with the highest provincial science score, she entered the nation's most prestigious surgical program and began her internship at a top-tier capital hospital, where department heads competed for her talents. She made medical history by performing the world's first minimally invasive heart valve repair, shattering barriers in female surgery. Her meteoric rise captured hearts across the capital. An overseas-educated senior colleague made her his profile picture, a wealthy entrepreneur arrived daily with flowers and diamond rings, and admirers lined up at her family's door.
