　　四川南充一家医学院最近录取了一对特别的学生：一名44岁的父亲和他17岁的儿子。改善农村地区医疗设施是父子俩共同的梦想。

　　The father, named Shen Xingpei, is a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine in the rural area of Nanchong. Shen earned his assistant’s license for TCM in 2000, and became a full doctor seven years later.

　　这位父亲名叫沈新培(音)，是南充农村地区一名中医。沈新培在2000年获得了中医助理执照，7年之后成为一名正式医生。

　　Having experienced firsthand the shortcomings of rural medicine, Shen has long dreamed of improving the situation. In order to update his medical knowledge and better serve his fellow villagers, Shen decided to attend the Nanchong Health School of Sichuan province together with his son, Shen Lin, who is also interested in medical science.

　　在亲身经历过农村地区医药短缺的情况之后，沈新培长久以来都梦想着改善这一现状。为了更新自己的医学知识、并且更好地为村民们服务，沈新培决定和自己的儿子沈凌(音)(沈凌同样对医药科学很感兴趣)一起到四川省南充卫生学校上学。

　　The father and his son, who are studying, dining and living on the same campus, have become a unique sight around the school.

　　这位父子同校、同班、同寝、同食，成为了校园里一道独特的风景线。

　　"We officially started in September," said Shen, who is determined to return to his hometown after graduation to put his education to work.

　　沈新培表示说：“我们正式上课是从9月份开始，”他决定毕业之后要回到家乡，把自己所学的知识运用到工作当中
