And those with talent are truly in the minority.
If Cardiothoracic Surgery had one or two people with Zhou Can's kind of talent, it wouldn't find itself in the awkward situation of being short on successors and lacking a leading figure.
Talent is something difficult to articulate, yet it undeniably exists.
Take Jin Mingxi and Zhou Can for example; Jin Mingxi has been training since childhood, practicing the basics of the Stable Knife Technique for the past two years with solid foundations. But that's all there is to it.
Zhou Can hasn't practiced the Stable Knife Technique for long, yet he's managed to grasp a near true essence of it—stable as a mountain—which is his insight and talent.
This is something Jin Mingxi and other chief physicians envy but can't attain.
Following this, it essentially becomes Zhou Can's solo performance: fast as the wind, each cut steady and increasingly stable, with high efficiency.
"Dr. Zhou's surgical ability seems to have improved quite a lot!"
