He also emphasized the importance of treatment skills rather than drugs. He treated the patient kindly and affectionately, and his curative effect was remarkable, being deeply welcomed and loved by the broad masses of patients. He was highly skilled and not conservative, and he had unreservedly imparted his many years of medical experiences to his peers. He wrote many papers, such as Experience in the Treatment of Children's Zikua Hip, Conservative Treatment of Olecranon Fracture, Simple Treatment of Periarthritis of Shoulder and so on, which have received great attention and praise from orthopedics circles.
