Features: This is a "Hospital Diary" written by a young patient in a public hospital at that time, which is a novel created by the author based on some real materials. "The Fourth Ward," an (surgical ward) accommodating twenty-four beds, can be said to be a microcosm of Chinese society at that time. In the ward, patients suffer and die, and in society, people suffer and die in the same way.
