Stepping onto the Syrian territory once again, after 18 years, I have a mixed feeling.
 
I used to work in the Accident and Emergency Department in Hong Kong. Sometimes I would hear my friends describe it as a "war zone". At the time I would just laugh and agree with them.
 
When I was in Bor, my height did bring me some interesting encounters.
 
During the three months in Bor, I never saw a patient nor their family shed a drop of tear. 
 
“Doctor, doctor! Please come immediately!” Mama Teresa, our head nurse grabbed my hand the second I jumped off the MSF car in front of the office. 
 
“Come, come!” she urged.
