Today's idiom: 起死回生(qǐ sǐ huí shēng)
The idiom is from Biography of Female Immortals(nv xian zhuan). During the Warring States Period, Bian Que, a legendary TCM doctor, traveled through the Guo State (near Lingbao County, Henan Province today). When he heard that the crown prince had "died" of acute disease in the morning, he went to the palace to give medical treatment and bring the dying prince back to life. Chinese people use the idiom to describe someone's excellent medical skills or renewed hope.
今日成语：起死回生
该成语出自《女仙传》。战国时期，神医扁鹊路过虢国（今河南灵宝县附近），听说太子早上染急病“身亡”，便请求进宫医治，让濒临死亡的太子恢复了健康。后用此形容医术高明，也比喻把已经没有希望的事物挽救回来。
