Many Chinese who pursue traditional concepts will be astonished by the appearance of male nurses. As a matter of fact，however，gender is no longer a barrier hindering Chinese men from joining the nursing field.
I’m Xu Lingzhi ，17-year-old，is studying nursing at Harbin’s Secondary Health School. When I was in primary school and middle school，boys and girls accounted for 50% respectively in class，but now only two out of 50 students in my class are boys. This made me feel uneasy when I just started my study here and many of my relatives and friends regard male nurse strange.
