Features: This book addresses the era when poor nutritional and social health conditions led to many children losing their lives to infectious diseases. Even today, the nutritional and social health conditions of children in some countries still need improvement. However, in Japan and the reform and opening-up China, children's nutritional conditions have been greatly improved, and widespread vaccination has been achieved, bringing infectious diseases under basic control. Some doctors even believe that occasional colds in children can be beneficial for boosting immunity, as people only realize the importance of health after falling ill. At the same time, they gain a firsthand understanding of a patient's emotional state, so being sick is not necessarily all bad.
