On Huiyu Island, where fishing nets and oyster farms stretch to the horizon, Dr. Xiao Jinzhang isn’t just a physician—he’s a lifeline. With over 1,000 residents relying on him, this community hero juggles everything from treating fevers to tracking health data, all while navigating the island’s round-the-clock aquaculture hustle.
🚑 \"Time is a luxury here,\" Dr. Xiao explains. Many patients work dawn-to-dusk shifts harvesting seafood, leaving little room for clinic visits. His solution? A blend of late-night home checkups and creative record-keeping—think spreadsheets updated by flashlight during boat rides between villages.
Locals call him \"the island’s guardian,\" and it’s easy to see why. From monsoon-season emergencies to teaching kids about nutrition, Dr. Xiao’s commitment turns challenges into triumphs. As one fisher put it: \"He’s our human WebMD—but way more reliable.\" 💪
