长大后记起和爸爸一起出门 Growing up, I can remember going to work with my Dad.
在这样一个破旧的城市 In a city where so many things seem to be falling apart,
他进入人们都害怕进的地方 he made is office into a place where everyone felt cared for.
他可以在任何地方做医药 My Dad could have practiced medicine anywhere
但他选择了社区 but he chose to serve the community and
和最需要他的人 the people who needed him the most.
有一天我要像他一样 I know that one day I wanted to serve people in the same way
