Abstract
Doctor Wu Ying-Kai is known to many in the thoracic surgical academia worldwide. This article focuses on the two decisions he made at the ages of 33 and 70 that profoundly influenced the development of thoracic and cardiovascular medicine in a country with one quarter of the world population. His successful career was gauged not so much by the position he achieved, but by the obstacles he had to overcome to achieve it.
