Dong Min, a 48-year-old Chinese woman, left a medical career spanning more than 20 years to open a steamed stuffed bun shop three years ago. The business later expanded with a second outlet launched in July, while she said the new work had brought her happiness.

Dong Min, a 48-year-old woman in China, left a medical career of more than two decades three years ago and opened a shop selling steamed stuffed buns, according to the South China Morning Post. She said the idea of quitting medicine had often crossed her mind while she was working as a doctor. After leaving the profession, she turned to running the food business instead.

The shop survived and later flourished in what the source described as a competitive food industry. Dong subsequently opened a second outlet in July. Describing the change, Dong said running a bun shop kept her busy and tired, but added that she was so happy she could not stop.

The supplied material does not give further details about her medical speciality, the location of the shops or their financial performance.
