1 Lin Qiaozhi，  a specialist in womens diseases，  lived from

1901 to 1983. She had devoted her whole life to helping women of China， especially women in the countryside. Lin was born in Gulangyu， Fujian Province and was brought up by her brother. Though his family was poor， he offered her a chance to get a good education.

2 In 1921， she took the entrance exam of Peking Union Medical College. Two weeks later， she was admitted into the school. Her high score in the exam， her fluent English and her ability to deal with emergencies had impressed the exami?ners. Lin was a diligent student. However， her father died and left her very little money. Lin thought about quitting school until her brother and sister?in?law offered her financial support. Eight years of hard work paid off： Lin received the Wenhai Scholarship， the highest prize awarded to one of the universitys graduates.

3 In the summer of 1929， Lin was the first woman hired as a resident physician at Peking Union Medical College Hospitals Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology. She always carried a small notebook in order to make notes and refer to medical information. After six months， she was named chief resident physician. That was a remarkable accomplishment， as it generally took at least four years for someone to reach that position.

4 Due to her outstanding work， Lins employer sent her， in July 1932， to study at medical schools in Manchester and London， in the United Kingdom. The following year， her employer sent her to Vienna， Austria， to study. In September 1939， Lin was sent to the United States to study. The following year， she was named an honorary member of the Chicago Academy of Nature. Lin gave up an opportunity to stay in America， and she returned to China in the winter of 1940.

5 Lin remained single throughout her life. In her will， she gave all of her savings to the kindergartens and nurseries in Beijing. On April 22， 1983， the 82?year?old Lin passed away. “Im going to go. Dont try to rescue me anymore. Dont waste the medicine anymore.” Those were her last words.
