Chen: Wandering between "medicine" and "art". Speaking of Dr. Pingping Chen, people may think that he is one of the top 100 famous doctors, a giant in eugenics research and an expert in amniocentesis, but do you know? He is actually a painter. Starting from 20 13, Chen released eight albums in one breath in just three years. Painting materials span religion, architecture, lust, landscape and even poetry. In this interview with Baby and Mother magazine, I shared my wonderful life of medical and artistic swimming. Chen, vice president of Taipei MacKay Hospital, is a master in the field of genetic eugenics. However, he said that the reason why he entered the field of eugenics health care was actually to "catch ducks on the shelves." How can I put it? He recalled that at that time, Ma Kai's obstetrics and gynecology department was actively developing sub-specialties, and Li Yinan, the director, gave an order to assign him and Su Congxian, Li Guoguang and others to set up sub-specialties in different fields, and he was assigned to the reproductive health care department. "At that time, the mainstream research in obstetrics and gynecology was female cancer and IVF. The project I was in charge of was relatively unpopular, so I told the director that I wanted to be a test-tube baby. I didn't expect that he would assign Li Guoguang to do it, so I had to go back to reproductive health care. Chen recalled that at that time, he was just a small resident. If he doesn't do it, he can't be promoted to attending. He had to bite the bullet and shoulder the burden. I didn't expect to wait for 35 years.

Talking about the current situation of "turning crisis into opportunity" in obstetrics and gynecology in recent years, obstetrics and gynecology has become one of the "five noes" members of the medical profession, which makes Chen very emotional. He said that when he first entered MacKay, "women at home and abroad" were prominent scholars, and obstetricians and gynecologists had a high social status, so they all cherished internship opportunities and told themselves to stick to it no matter how hard they worked. On the other hand, at present, because of low pay and long working hours, obstetrics and gynecology departments often have to fly to Dai Yue to deliver babies, but they are often accused, which makes many residents "run away" within two years, and some young doctors are determined not to deliver babies and are afraid of going to court. Speaking of this phenomenon, Chen bluntly said, "Don't come to obstetrics and gynecology if you don't dare to deliver a baby! He stressed that since he entered obstetrics and gynecology, he should be prepared to face medical disputes. Unless he studies or teaches all his life, he must deliver the baby. " All walks of life have risks. If you don't have the courage, go to be an obstetrician! 」

Chen pointed out that obstetrics and gynecology has both medical knowledge and surgical skills, and it is a subject that is both internal and external. In addition, there are many specialized courses to do research, which is helpful to fully appreciate the relevant skills and knowledge of medicine. It can be said to be a doctor's treasure house. At present, the shortage of obstetrics and gynecology staff is a good time for novice doctors to make great efforts. As long as you make a reputation and create a personal brand, once you have established your position in the industry, you can enter and retreat in the future, even if you start your own business, you are not afraid of no patients. Medical students should not hold back in obstetrics and gynecology because of environmental factors, but should "turn crisis into opportunity" After all, ten years in Hedong and ten years in Hexi, seize the opportunity to enrich yourself at this time, and one day you can accumulate a lot of money.

Amazing creativity. In the past three years, thousands of paintings have entered Chen's office. Apart from piles of medical journals and research reports, the most striking thing is the paintings hanging on the wall. When talking about the opportunity to get in touch with painting, he smiled and said, "This should start from my grandfather's generation." . Chen's grandfather, Chen Kaiquan, studied under China's great painter Liu Haisu. After graduating from Shanghai Academy of Fine Arts, she entered middle school as an art teacher and was also a classmate of Li Keran, a master of fine arts. His father Chen Zuru made great achievements in the field of calligraphy. Perhaps because of the family history, Chen showed his artistic talent from an early age, and the anatomical drawings of organs drawn during medical school were even more vivid. However, he stopped painting after he entered the busy obstetrics and gynecology department, and didn't pick up his brush until he fell into a trough in his life in 20 13. This painting is three years old. In the past three years, he accumulated thousands of works and published eight picture books. His exuberant creativity is amazing

Paintings with diverse themes, including nuns and naked women, are impressive at first sight. His paintings are full of vitality, which makes people feel his enthusiasm for life. The themes of painting are all-encompassing, from nuns who pray devoutly to naked women who are full of desire. Among thousands of paintings, the most special one is a painting called Blood of Bullfighting. The first time I saw Blood of the Bullfight, I felt the overwhelming red. Red sun, red bull and red bull cloth merged into a bloody gas, as if to break through the drawing paper and burst out at any time. In sharp contrast, it is an audience as deep as the ocean. He said that the prototype of this painting was originally a blue cup. Later, halfway through the painting, he found that the shape of the cup looked like an arc-shaped audience. He had a brainwave and added bullfighting, matador and the sun. It only took him half an hour to finish the bullfighting scene he is seeing now. People can't help but sigh his rich associative power.

Heal yourself with art and give back to others with creation. During his three-year painting career, Chen presented his life turning point in his paintings in a concrete and subtle way. With the change of mood, his painting skills are constantly improving. He admits that every time he finishes a painting, he will share it with his family and friends around him. Encouragement from relatives and friends allowed him to accumulate creative confidence again and again, helping him to slowly get out of the trough of life and be more motivated to meet future challenges. He thinks this is the perfect embodiment of artistic medicine. He said that "art is medical treatment, and medical treatment is art". Art can make people gain calm power, release negative emotions and have a strong healing effect. People can not only get satisfaction through creation, but also get happiness by appreciating the creation of others. "When you look at a painting, you are also interacting with the creator. When the creator's mood coincides with yours, you will have a * * * sound with this painting and be healed. He said that because of this, he treats himself with art and brings happiness to others by sharing his creations.

However, many people often face the dilemma of "I don't know where to start" when performing art medical treatment. Some people think in front of a blank sheet of paper, but they just don't know what to draw. Chen said to him, "Don't think too much about painting! He said that the purpose of painting is to make yourself happy, so there is no limit to what you want to paint. He never draws a draft, but mostly "the pen goes with his heart" and he can draw whatever he wants. " Only in this way can we reflect our true feelings! 」

In addition to self-healing through painting, Chen also intends to further develop the power of artistic medicine from school. He said that observing the patients coming and going in the hospital, we can find that they are "waiting" most of the time, whether they are registering, seeing a doctor or getting medicine. If the hospital can provide a platform for art appreciation, so that people can appreciate paintings while waiting, it can not only calm their anxiety, but also improve the treatment effect. He plans to set up art medical courses in MacKay Medical College in the future, and hold exhibitions in the hospital in cooperation with teachers from art schools of other schools, so as to provide a creative platform for doctors who like painting and let more people learn art medical treatment well.

Chen projects his heart into painting. His paintings have no traces of art, only the truest feelings and enthusiasm for life. Painting with "heart", he wandered between art and medical treatment, which truly embodied the spirit of swimming between medicine and art.
