How to Choose the Next Stage of Your Life

I am about to enter my thirtieth year, and I am on the verge of completing my PhD. A choice lies before me.

Should I become a true practitioner of Chinese medicine — spending half the day in clinical practice and half the day in study, diligently serving the people from dawn to dusk?

Or should I join a public hospital, start from the ground up, relearn Western medicine step by step, continue my research, and strive to become a great healer of the people?

Or perhaps I should head to a research institute or a modern enterprise, devoting my career to scientific research for the advancement of Chinese medicine, competing in the arena of fame and fortune day after day?

It seems I still cannot let go.

Hard. So hard.

很快就要进入而立之年，我也即将博士毕业，面临抉择

是选择去做一名真正的中医医生，半日临证，半日读书，勤勤恳恳为黎明百姓服务？

还是选择去公立医院，从基层做起，一步一步，重学西医，继续科研，成为一名苍生大医？

抑或是去科研院所，现代企业，为了中医而做科研做事业，在名利场上角逐竟日？

看来我还是不能放下

难啊，难
