The hospital where they were stationed was a county-level hospital lacking in facilities, so both their living and working conditions were different from what they had been accustomed to. Most notably, single rooms for accommodation were unthinkable; Ruan Liuzheng shared a room with an obstetrician.
In this medical team, Ruan Liuzheng was the youngest, and only she and her roommate, the obstetrician Wang Yi, were female.
The days here lasted long into the evening, and when they arrived, the sun was still blazing; after having dinner, it was past nine o'clock before there were any signs of the sun setting. After tidying up the dormitory with Doctor Wang, she was so exhausted she nearly collapsed, lying in bed, unwilling to move.
