Bai Hua, rural veterinarian, Ningxia Hui autonomous region

Bai Hua, a veterinarian from Guyuan, Ningxia Hui autonomous region, breaks occupational stereotypes to impress and inspire many youngsters with her unusual story.

Bai always wears a pink jacket and gloves and carries a pink medicine box and stethoscope while dealing with sick animals in cowsheds and sheep pens, earning the nickname the &quotink Vet".

&quotink represents my passion for my profession and my love for animals. I want to convey my positive attitude towards my career and life through this vibrant color," she said.

Despite weighing only 44.5 kilograms, she can independently lift calves weighing 40 to 45 kg. She even had a nickname, "Bai Yi Zhen," which means "one shot, accurate and to the point". She performs surgeries on cows, assists with deliveries and trims their hooves.

Bai shared her daily work and medical knowledge on social media as a move to show the fun of her work and to encourage more young people to join the veterinary industry.
