Shi Jixiang, who lost his mother since childhood, was raised by his uncle. His uncle's family loves reading, and young Shi Jixiang is deeply influenced by his family. Shi Jixiang studied in Shanghai Gezhi Public School when he was a teenager, and transferred to Shanghai Xuhui Public School (predecessor of Shanghai Xuhui Middle School) from 65438 to 0935. In middle school, Shi Jixiang became interested in chemistry and medicine. 194 1 After graduating from high school, he was admitted to the Medical College of Shanghai Aurora University and graduated from 1947. At that time, a French professor once said to Shi Jixiang, "Your country is still very poor, and infectious diseases are a subject of great social significance." However, under the circumstances of social unrest and soaring prices at that time, young Shi Jixiang gave up his yearning ideal for a living, and with the ambition of serving the society and the people, he came to Guangci Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Zhendan University School of Medicine as a surgical resident. Since then, Shi Jixiang has devoted all his energy to surgery.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Shi Jixiang served as the chief physician of inpatient surgery in Guangci Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Aurora University School of Medicine at 1950. 195 1 joined the Chinese people's Volunteer Army medical team and went to the front line to resist US aggression and aid Korea. At the front, he worked hard day and night for the wounded. Once, he used only 600 ml of blood to perform subtotal gastrectomy for a patient with severe acute gastric bleeding, which saved the patient from danger. During his stay in Korea, Shi Jixiang won the director-level merit award for his outstanding medical achievements.

Shanghai Second Medical College was established 1952, and Shi Jixiang was promoted to attending physician of Guangci Hospital (1972 renamed Ruijin Hospital) and lecturer of 1954. 1956 was appointed as the deputy director of surgery and anesthesiology and the director of surgical teaching. Participated in a wide range of surgical fields, successively engaged in orthopedics, obstetrics and gynecology, pediatric surgery, neurosurgery, anesthesia and other clinical work. This laid a solid foundation for his outstanding contribution in the field of burn surgery in the future.

From 65438 to 0958, Shi Jixiang participated in and organized the rescue of Qiu Caikang, a severely burned steel worker, in Guangci Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Second Medical College. Qiu Caikang has a total burn area of 89% and a third-degree burn of 23%. The successful rescue of this case broke through the "limit" reported by foreign literature at that time that the total area of burn treatment exceeded 80% and was rarely cured, which attracted the attention of medical circles at home and abroad. To this end, Shi Jixiang and others were rewarded by the Ministry of Health. 196 1, Guangci Hospital established the Burn Department, with Shi Jixiang as the deputy director. 1963 director of burn department and director of burn research room. 65438-0974, promoted to Professor of Surgery, Shanghai Second Medical College. Shanghai Burn Research Institute was established in 65438-0988, with Shi Jixiang as its director. 1998 tenured professor of Shanghai Second Medical University.

During the Cultural Revolution, Shi Jixiang was persecuted and treated unfairly, but he did not care about personal grievances and always did his best for the burn cause of his motherland. After the level of burn treatment in China reached the international advanced level, Shi Jixiang was far-sighted and realized that burn treatment in China should not only be based on clinical practice and experience accumulation, but also attach importance to the study of basic theories. At the same time, it is necessary to train professionals to make China's burn career a success. He has repeatedly expressed his opinions and called for the establishment of burn research and talent training bases. At his initiative, 1988 established the Shanghai Burn Institute. 65438-0990 Burn Department of Ruijin Hospital was approved as the key discipline construction base of Shanghai Higher Education Bureau.

1986, Shi Jixiang was elected as the first chairman of the branch of burn surgery of Chinese Medical Association. 1978 to 1988 served as the standing Committee member of surgery branch of Chinese Medical Association, 1982 as the editor-in-chief of Basic Problems of Foreign Medicine, Trauma and Surgery, 1985 as the deputy editor-in-chief of China Journal of Plastic Burns, and 1990 as the editor-in-chief of China Medicine.

Shi Jixiang is the representative of China of the International Burn Association, and has attended international burn conferences on behalf of China burn academic circles three times. He was also invited to attend the annual meeting of burn plastic surgery in the United States, Italy, Belgium, Japan, Peru, Argentina and other countries. On 1980, Shi Jixiang was hired as an academician of foreign exchange by the French Medical College of Surgery and awarded the title of "honorary member" by the Lombardy Medical Association of Italy. 1988 was awarded the Evans Prize, an international academic burn award by the American Burn Association; 1989 was awarded the Whitaker International Burn Award by the Whitaker Foundation of Italy, and 1990 was recruited as a member of the jury of the Whitaker International Burn Award. When reviewing his previous work, he expressed his decades of academic experience with emotion: "With a serious scientific attitude, he studied the experience of predecessors, keenly discovered the problems in clinical practice and creatively solved them".
