Abstract:
During the Yan’an period， the party and government employed forms of health propaganda that were popular among the masses， focusing on superb medical skills and public feedback， as well as the strategy of skillfully using narrative techniques to carry out doctor-patient communication， which collectively created the image of good doctors characterized by “firm belief， superb medical skills， effective communication， and a friendly and approachable demeanor.” They were not only guardians of the people’s health but also the solid pillars of the success of the revolutionary cause. In the journey of the new era， contemporary medical professionals should deeply grasp the spiritual core of good doctors in the Yan’an period， uphold the leadership of the Communist Party of China， harbor a benevolent heart， and earn the trust and respect of patients through sincere humanistic care and superb medical services， so as to collectively promote the development of medical undertakings and contribute their strength to building a healthy China.
