9月14日,清晨5:30,去白云机场飞赴上海,天边鱼肚白。2020年人生无常,我们不但在不同的城市,还在不同的国家。隔了六小时时差,近万公里,12小时的飞行……我们与参加中欧会的教授已有48个月没有见面了,近1460多天,这是我们人生的艰难时刻,过去的四年我常常在想我们一定可以相见,我不知何时?我不知何地?一定是个晴天!我多想见你们不重要,你们多想见我才重要。只有你们想见我,我们的重逢才有意义。下午顺利在浦东国际机场接到了德国慕尼黑大学附属医院Stief院长。晚上我们去外滩三号黄浦会晚餐,他很高兴。他认为上海的房价实在是太荒谬了,未来这会造成很多社会问题,富人只希望房价拼命上涨,这样他们的资产可以保值或大赚,这种想法是幼稚无知的表现,这绝对是非常危险的行为。如果慕尼黑的房价太贵,那他医院的护士和保安司机永远都买不了房,那他们怎么办?医院光有医生是不够的,医院也需要护士和其它基层工作人员。一个社会是需要更多普通人,才能保障社会的正常运转。当晚我们也谈到了医院贪腐的问题,意大利、法国、西班牙的医院的贪腐是很严重的,但在他管理的慕尼黑大学附属医院是绝对没有贪腐行为。五六十年代的德国也曾是贪腐的黑暗时期,医院从历史中吸取了教训,在德国大家都知道贪腐是要坐牢的。所以现在整个德国医院已经没有了贪腐的行为。晚餐上菜时,他总是让我们先吃,他才会吃。进酒店他都让我们走前面,进餐厅还为我们拉椅子。他来中国3天没有接一个电话,专心致志做好这场2023SEOS全球发布会欢迎晚宴和第三届中欧医院管理学科建设人才培养全球论坛,整场晚宴他根本没有时间吃饭,他告诉我他来晚宴不是吃饭的,是为了中国的医院和医生。3小时的论坛他更是全场在会场认真听课,记笔记,与同行分享。这场论坛就是他在中国的高光时刻。在德国的日夜,他每天14小时临床工作,每天2小时管理全欧洲第二大的大学附属医院,每天从早晨6点工作到晚上8点。当年是德国国家科学院请他做的院士,一个只会为别人考虑,为基层员工考虑的他才是这个世界上真正的绅士。良辰美景奈何天,青山白水,后会有期。2024年10月中国苏州。
At 5:30 am on September 14, when the sky was turning bright. I headed to the Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport for a flight to Shanghai.In 2020, life was unpredictable. Not only are we in different cities, but also in different countries. We were separated by a six-hour time difference, nearly 10,000 kilometers, and a 12-hour flight...It has been 48 months since we last met the visiting professors participating in the Sino-Euro even. The last 1460 days have been the difficult times of our lives. Over the past four years, I have been always thinking that. We will definitely see each other again. I don't know when or where, but it must be a sunny day. It doesn't matter how much I want to see all of you, what matters most is how much you want to see me. Our reunion only makes sense only if you want to see me. On the afternoon of September 14, we picked up Prof. Stief, the Deputy Medical Director of the University Hospital of Munich, at the Shanghai Pudong International Airport. We enjoyed dinner at the Canton Table located at Bund 3 and Prof. Stief was very happy about that. He believes that house prices in Shanghai are absurd, which may cause many social problems in the future. The rich only hope for skyrocketing house prices so that they can maintain the value of their assets or make a big profit. This idea is a manifestation of childish ignorance, and it is absolutely very dangerous. If the house prices in Munich are too expensive, how can the nurses, security guards, and drivers at LMU afford the housing? What can they do? It is not enough for hospitals to have doctors alone. Nurses and other front-line employees are indispensable. This also reflects on the society - the functioning of a society relies on the ordinary people. We also talked about the corruption in healthcare system. Corruption is commonly seen in the healthcare system in Italy, France and Spain. But this is unseen and impossible at the University Hospital of Munich managed by Prof. Stief. The healthcare system in Germany was corrupted in the 1950s and 1960s. The system learned a lesson from the history and everyone in the system is aware that corruption leads to imprisonment. Therefore, there is no corruption in the healthcare system in Germany at all. Whenever dish is served, he always lets us eat first before he does. He always walks behind us. He pulls out the chairs for us at the restaurants. He did not answer a single phone call during the 3 days in China, but devoted himself to the Welcome Banquet of SEOS 2023 Global Press Conference and the Third Sino-Euro Global Forum on Hospital Management, Specialty Construction and Talent Cultivation. He didn't have time to eat at all throughout the whole banquet. He told me that he did not come to the banquet for a dinner, but for the hospitals and doctors in China. During the 3-hour forum, he was fully engaged, attentively listening to the speakers, taking notes, and sharing his insights with the attendees. This forum was his highlight moment in China. During his days and nights in Germany, he works 14 hours a day in clinical practice and spends 2 hours managing the second largest university hospital in Europe, from 6 am to 8 pm. He did not apply for a fellowship at the German National Academy of Sciences Leopoldina but he was invited. He who always thinks of others and the front-line employees before himself is a real gentleman in this world. Why does Heaven give us brilliant day and dazzling sight, yet not enough time to spend together? The green mountains remain unchanged, the clear waters continue to flow, and we meet again in Suzhou, China in October 2024.
