Abstract

Former Director of West China (Huaxi) Hospital, Vice President of the Chinese Medical Association, State Council Leading Group for Medical Reform expert advisory committee member, Professor Dr. Shi Ying-Kang passed away in the afternoon of 11th May 2016. It was reported that Dr. Shi was so disheartened that he jumped down from the twentieth floor of a building. The death of Dr. Shi shocked medical societies in China. People feel sorrowful and mourn his death. As a medical worker in China, I also feel very sad upon this regretful news. Maybe it will offend many people; still hereby I like to express the views which have been held deep in my heart. I hope this article will benefit the health care reform in China.
