Academician Zhong Nanshan once broke the national record of men's 400-meter hurdles, but he chose to study medicine. Personally, there are three main reasons for his choice:

First of all, he is a child brought up by a medical family.

First of all, we all know that most of Zhong Nanshan's family members are medical practitioners. His father is a top medical professional, his uncle is also an expert in the medical field, and his uncle also has his own place in the medical field. As far as honor is concerned, two of Zhong Nanshan's relatives are medical academicians. It can be said that Zhong Nanshan, who grew up in such an environment, has learned a lot of medical knowledge since childhood, and also has great aspirations to help the world. So it is not surprising that he chose to pursue medicine when he grew up.

Secondly, he personally thinks that he is in poor shape and physical quality, and can't reach the world level.

The second reason is that it seems a foregone conclusion that Academician Zhong Nanshan will become a professional athlete after breaking the men's 400-meter hurdles record. However, Academician Zhong Nanshan chose to return to his medical major for further study. In an interview, he said that he was in poor shape and physical fitness. He can reach the Asian level and break the record at most, but he can't break the world record, so in the long run, he is not suitable for long-term development in the sports industry. It can be seen that Academician Zhong Nanshan has clear plans and high expectations for his life and career. In his thoughts and values, doing one thing must reach the highest level in this field. If he can't reach his level, then he will quit early or not do it at all.

To sum up, Zhong Nanshan gave up his career as a professional athlete and, after careful consideration, chose to return to the medical profession. He chose the road that suits him best and the road that can achieve himself and his career. Everyone says that Zhong Nanshan's choice is too Versailles, but personally, it is inseparable from his family education and his own efforts. If everyone can have a clear goal to work hard, I believe they can also achieve their own myths.
