In a peaceful small town, there lived a doctor named Lin Yue. Since childhood, Lin Yue had been intelligent and had a strong interest in medicine. She was diligent and eager to learn, visiting famous doctors everywhere and constantly delving into medical skills. Gradually, she began to stand out in the small town and won everyone's praise with her superb medical skills.

However, Lin Yue's medical skills did not only come from her own hard study. In her life journey, there was a special experience that completely changed her path in medicine. It was a sunny day. As usual, Lin Yue was gathering herbs in the mountains. She went deep into the mountains and was focused on looking for various precious herbs. Just when she was busy, she suddenly encountered an old man in a Taoist robe. The old man had an extraordinary demeanor and an air of immortality. At a glance, one could tell that he was no ordinary person.

The old man looked at Lin Yue and asked with a smile, "Young lady, you are so persistent in medicine. Do you know the true meaning of it?" Lin Yue was stunned by the old man's question. After thinking for a moment, she replied, "Medicine is to cure the sick and save people, alleviating the pain of patients." The old man nodded slightly and then said, "Curing the sick and saving people is not only the application of medical skills but also a moral practice. If you can understand this, your medical skills will reach a higher level."

Subsequently, the old man began to teach Lin Yue some unique medical skills and Taoist health preservation methods. He told Lin Yue that Taoism emphasizes following nature. The human body is also a small universe. Only by maintaining the balance of body and mind can one stay away from diseases. Lin Yue eagerly learned the knowledge taught by the old man, her heart filled with gratitude. From then on, Lin Yue's medical skills took a qualitative leap. She could not only treat various diseases but also understand how to prevent diseases through health preservation methods.

Lin Yue firmly remembered the teachings of the Taoist priest and did her best to treat every patient. She always listened patiently to the patients' complaints, carefully diagnosed their conditions, and then formulated the most suitable treatment plan according to each person's specific situation. Her clinic was always full of warmth and care. Patients here could not only receive physical treatment but also feel spiritual comfort.

Once, a serious plague broke out in the small town. This plague came on fiercely, and many people fell ill without warning. The entire small town was plunged into panic. People closed their doors and stayed at home, fearing being infected by the plague. Seeing this situation, Lin Yue was extremely anxious. She was well aware of the horror of the plague, but she did not flinch. Instead, she resolutely decided to step forward and treat everyone.

Lin Yue ignored her own safety and was busy day and night diagnosing and treating patients. She deeply understood the symptoms and transmission routes of the plague and constantly tried various treatment methods. In this process, she remembered the Taoist health preservation methods taught by the Taoist priest. Taoism believes that the vital energy of the human body is the key to resisting diseases. Only by strengthening the vital energy of the human body can one defeat the plague. So, Lin Yue began to combine Taoist health preservation methods with her own medical skills and formulated an effective prescription.

This prescription took some precious herbs as the main raw materials and incorporated Taoist health preservation concepts. Lin Yue personally boiled the medicinal soup and then distributed it to every patient. With her efforts, the conditions of many patients were gradually brought under control, and their bodies slowly recovered. As time passed, the plague in the small town was finally brought under control.

Lin Yue's kind deeds were praised by everyone. People came to her clinic one after another to express their gratitude. Looking at everyone's grateful eyes, Lin Yue's heart was filled with joy and satisfaction. She knew that her efforts had not been in vain. She used her actions to interpret the compassion of a doctor.

In this process, Lin Yue also understood more deeply the spirit of "loving all living beings" in Taoism. She realized that as a doctor, her responsibility was not only to treat diseases but also to care for every life and seek well-being for all living beings. She remembered an allusion in Taoism - Laozi riding a green ox out of Hangu Pass. When Laozi left, he left behind a "Tao Te Ching". This classic contains profound Taoist thoughts, including the concept of "loving all living beings".

Laozi believed that all things in heaven and earth are equal. Humans should respect nature and care for life. Only in this way can we achieve harmonious coexistence between humans and nature. Lin Yue was deeply influenced by Laozi's thoughts. She decided that in the days to come, she would continue to use her medical skills and love to serve the people in the small town and strive for the ideal of "loving all living beings".

After the test of this plague, Lin Yue's medical skills and moral character were further enhanced. Her clinic became the most trusted place in the small town, and she also became a hero in everyone's mind. Lin Yue knew that she still had a long way to go, but she firmly believed that as long as she always maintained a compassionate heart as a doctor and followed the way of nature, she would definitely bring health and happiness to more people.
