Shuai knew this would trouble those seeking treatments, so she visited her patients on foot and offered her services door-to-door.

"I cannot ignore the villagers' illnesses and pain just because of reasons like the road is hard to walk on or that I want to spend time celebrating the Spring Festival holiday," said Shuai.
