Yan Zheng, a doctor at a community health-care center in Pengpu town of Zhabei District, checks a patient. Yan has visited nearby communities by bike since 1995 to send medicine to senior citizens and offer medical help. Some families have accepted him as a friend and given the keys to their homes to him. Across the city there are about 500 community medical workers like Yan who work out in the community for at least six hours a day.- Shanghai Daily
