Dormitory 517: Forty Years of Medical Journey

In the autumn of 1986, Chen Jianjun, son of a miner from Qitaihe, stepped into Dormitory 517 of Harbin Medical University and bonded with six other young men of diverse aspirations. Over the next four decades, they grew from green medical students into doctors, administrators, and entrepreneurs, enduring life-and-death trials, waves of healthcare reform, and the baptism of epidemics. Their bond, stronger than blood, spanned mountains and seas, becoming a lifelong human connection.
