The producer also expects the new season to encourage people to learn about the working conditions of medical practitioners from the beginners' point of view.

"Knowing their commitment to their career, people will be more supportive and more tolerant," Wang says.

Lack of understanding can sometimes lead to misfortune. Tao Yong, a leading oculist from Beijing Chaoyang Hospital, was the victim in a horrific attack at the hands of a patient, but he managed to remain optimistic.

The oculist, who was once in the eye of a national news storm, is now a guest commentator on the new reality show.

"In ancient times, people referred to witchcraft as medicine," Tao says. "But in modern times, people tend to see medicine as having a magical ability to cure all diseases."

Therefore, he says, programs like The Exciting Offer provide a fairer and more scientific public view of doctors.

"Medicine is a process in which we keep practicing and growing," Tao further explains. "Being a doctor is to hone your skills and to excel at what you're good at.

"Young medical students have much better living conditions than our (school) days," he says. "Now, they're more eager to realize their own values when choosing medicine as their career."

Talking about why they chose medicine as their major, the students in The Exciting Offer express different reasons. One student is aiming to be his family's fourth-generation medical practitioner and sees the career as a duty to continue a family tradition. Another student says the toughness of learning medicine once made him want to quit, but all of the past effort he has put in over the years spurs him on.

"Their diversity just reflects the various facets of today's young people, and medical students in particular," Wang says.
