When he grew older, he saw patients who had recovered from grave illnesses, and infertile couples carrying babies, expressing thanks to his father. The demonstrations of gratitude showed him that doctors not only receive respect; at the same time they bring health and happiness to others. So after testing into Taipei Medical College (now Taipei Medical University), he began following in his father's footsteps.
懂事後，看到許多重症病患痊癒後、或不孕症患者抱著小孩前來向父親致謝，充滿感激的臉龐，他也體會到醫師不僅受到尊重，同時也能帶給別人健康和快樂，因此考上台北醫學院（已改制為台北醫學大學）後，也就順理成章走上和父親一樣的醫學路。
