Dear everyone,
I want to tell you about a special person I know. His name is Uncle Wang, and he is a doctor in a local hospital. His duties include helping sick people: checking their bodies, listening to their problems, and giving them medicine. During festivals like Spring Festival, when we enjoy family time, Uncle Wang stays at work. Last Spring Festival, he worked 10 hours, missing the family dinner. "Patients need me more," he said with a smile. I think Uncle Wang is selfless and great. He teaches us to care for others.
Yours,
Li Hua
