A heartwarming reunion

At this year's Tzu Chi training camp for overseas volunteers, there was a special reunion between a Taiwan doctor and an Indonesian volunteer. The story dates back some three years, to a free clinic held by Tzu Chi-Indonesia where Dr. He Guanjin (何冠進) from Hualien Tzu Chi Hospital treated Zhuo Peishi(卓佩施) - then a Tzu Ching Peishi came to Taiwan last week to get certified as a Tzu Chi commissioner, where she took time to search out and thank Dr. He.

It began with surgery, 3 years ago

Dr. He Guanjin from Hualien's Tzu Chi Hospital makes a surprise visit to see his former patient Zhuo Peishi (卓佩施) at this year's overseas Tzu Chi volunteer training seminar.

The doctor and patient relationship formed on May 21, 2006, when a group of Tzu Chi doctors from Taiwan took part in a free clinic held in Indonesia. Dr. He examined Peishi and discovered a lump in her breast. A surgery was immediately arranged to remove it.

Tzu Chi volunteer, Zhuo Peishi: "I had ultrasounds before but the doctors all held the same opinion. Dr. He was different. He was very skilled, and made sure that the incision was no larger than necessary."

Peishi now a Tzu Chi commissioner

Three years later, Peishi arrives in Taiwan as a trained Tzu Chi volunteer, ready for her commissionership. She thanked Dr. He once again, and had one more examination.

Hualien Tzu Chi Hospital surgeon, He Guanjin: "We had a look, and there are some benign growths. She just needs to go back to the hospital for regular check ups."

Peishi is reassured, and receives a little memento from Dr. He- a photograph of his family, with a message of encouragement on the back.

Hualien Tzu Chi Hospital surgeon, He Guanjin: "It's great to know that we have one more Tzu Chi commissioner on the team. Although we are in different countries, we're both working towards humanity. My best wishes for her."

Stories of warmth go on

At the volunteer training seminar, the little reunion between Dr. He and Peishi inspired feelings of warmth in all participants, a moment of fondness for volunteers to remember.
