Many Chinese who pursue traditional concepts will be astonished by
the appearance of male nurses. As a matter of fact, however, gender is
no longer a barrier hindering Chinese men from joining the nursing
field.
I'm Xu Lingzhi ,17-year-old,is studying nursing at
Harbin's Secondary Health School. When I was in primary school and
middle school, boys and girls accounted for 50% respectively in class,
but now only two out of 50 students in my class are boys. This made me
feel uneasy when I just started my study here and many of my relatives
and friends regard male nurse strange.
