In the early years, the island had inconvenient transportation. Wang was also responsible for delivering women's births. She had welcomed more than 200 children. The experience of successfully rescuing a pregnant woman with postpartum hemorrhage more than 20 years ago has left her lingering fears. In 1991, Wang, who was still in confinement after childbirth, insisted on delivering five babies for the villagers. Cold and weak, she went out with a blanket. But she believes that as long as the mother and child are safe, it is all that counts.

Today, the old school on the island is abandoned and will be turned into a homestay. The villagers hope for a new future."If you don't practice anymore, we can only die on the island." Wang was once struck by these words of an old man in the village. They are all aged, and she tries her best to melt all their worries and loneliness with her help. At times when you are alone and quiet, you find yourself missing the warmth of the disappeared cacophony.
