People need to live within a social community. It's not enough to merely be skilled in medicine and then hide away in a hospital operating room, solely focused on surgeries.
Building connections requires constant communication with the outside world. It means making more friends through existing ones. These people might not necessarily become your true friends, but in the future, when you need help, they might lend a hand.
I first met Liu Haibing because I treated his father. That relationship has been maintained, and when I bought a house later, it really saved me a lot of money.
Even though it wasn't a house he bought for himself, the favor was still there.
So, bumping into Liu Haibing was a surprise. When he extended an invitation not for business socializing but for a gathering of friends, it was even less of an issue.
