Veterinarian Bai Hua challenges expectations and becomes a role model

Bai Hua, a veterinarian from Guyuan, Ningxia Hui autonomous region, breaks occupational stereotypes to impress and inspire many youngsters with her unusual story. Through social media, she has helped more people recognize the value of the work, earning the nickname the "Pink Vet".

She earned the nickname because she always wears a pink jacket and gloves and carries a pink medicine box and stethoscope while dealing with sick animals in cowsheds and sheep pens.

"Pink represents my passion for my profession and my love for animals. I want to convey my positive attitude towards my career and life through this vibrant color," she said.

Born in the 1990s, Bai grew up in a cattle-raising family in Guyuan. Raising cattle and sheep is an essential source of income for villagers in the area. When the livestock falls ill, it often causes villagers great distress.
