The first time I came into contact with the Chinese Journal of Cardiovascular Diseases was during my university internship. At that time, the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi 'an Medical College (now the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi' an Jiaotong University) had not set up a cardiology department, only the cardiovascular group of internal medicine. When I turned to internal medicine, I found a Chinese Journal of Cardiovascular Diseases on the teacher's desk. I turned a few pages casually, and I was quickly attracted by the columns in it. Whether it was clinical treatises, short reports, technical improvement, epidemiology and population prevention, basic research and medical device columns, they all opened my eyes. What impressed me was the column of papers of the National Conference on Cardiovascular Diseases, which published several excellent papers from the 1983 National Conference on Cardiovascular Diseases. In that era when there was no Internet and information was blocked, a Chinese Journal of Cardiovascular Diseases brought a deep shock to me, a young doctor who came out of Hanzhong Mountain Col, Shaanxi Province, and opened a window to the world for me.
