Every Thursday, 95-year-old Wang Zhenyi hosts a discussion session with young doctors to find solutions for complicated medical cases. Wang, a pioneering expert in hemopathology and a tenured professor at Ruijin Hospital affiliated with the Shanghai Jiao Tong University's School of Medicine, has been doing this for 16 years in order to nurture more medical talent.

With over 70 years of experience in the hemopathology field, Wang was among the first academicians at the Chinese Academy of Engineering, and the recipient of the country's highest award in science and technology in 2010.
