Shu Pulong has helped
at least 1000 people bitten (咬)by snakes."It
was seeing people with snake bites (伤口) that led
me to this career," he said.
In 1963, after his army service, Shu
entered a medical school and later became a doctor of Chinese medicine. As part
of his studies he had to work in the mountains. There he often heard of people
who had their arms and legs cut off after a snake bite in order to save their
lives.
"I was greatly upset by the story of an old farmer
I met .It was a very hot afternoon. The old man was pulling grass in his fields
when he felt a pain in his left hand. He at once realized he had been bitten by
a poisonous snake. In no time he wrapped a cloth tightly around his arm to stop
the poison spreading to his heart. Rushing home he shouted,`Bring
me the knife' Minutes later the man lost his arm forever."
"The sad story touched me so much that I decided
to devote myself to helping people bitten by snakes"Shu
said.
