He describes his work as requiring "the devil's hands, but the Buddha's heart." He cannot allow cancer cells to rob the breast's owner of her life because he could not bring himself to cut deep enough. He must use the cruel "devil's axe" of surgery, combined with the heart of a Bodhisattva, to help women with cancer.
他以「鬼手佛心」來形容他的工作，他不能因為不忍心，而讓癌細胞奪走乳房主人的生命，他必須以殘忍的鬼斧手術、及佛菩薩心腸來救助罹癌的婦女。
