Chapter 893 - 895: A Legendary Life
"Don’t rush. Tell me everything that happened. I’ll see if there’s any breakthrough. As an investigator, I’m skilled at finding evidence. You can leave it to me without worries. But you need to keep this matter confidential and not tell anyone for now. After all, your case is quite serious." the investigator said.
Hu Jingtang’s life can undoubtedly be described as legendary. As a doctor, his experiences are envied by many of his juniors. If he were willing to write his life story into a book, its sales would surely lead the charts.
He was born in a remote town in the Northwest. His family was quite well-off initially, but everything changed with the establishment of New Huaxia and the land reform, abruptly plummeting their social status. Thus, Hu Jingtang experienced hardship growing up.
Fortunately, his father was a Chinese Medicine practitioner and a cook—professions that never face unemployment under any circumstances. Despite undergoing a series of upheavals, their family managed to live through those challenging times.
Throughout the years, Hu Jingtang was most thankful for his perseverance in studies despite difficult circumstances. He was most grateful to his father, who encouraged him when they were too hungry to eat. His studies never lagged even for a day. His father’s frequent words were: "Don’t underestimate the value of education now; it will definitely be useful in the future."
By the time he was a teenager, he already had a reputation as a promising young Chinese Medicine practitioner in the local area. Later, when he was seventeen or eighteen, the local government approached him and asked him to join the army, suggesting that a doctor like him would surely receive favorable treatment in the military.
Thus, to lighten his family’s burden and seek a better path for himself, he became a military doctor.
Throughout these years, he missed his days in the army most. People say being a soldier will have regrets for two years, but not being one will bring regrets for a lifetime. The feelings in the army were the purest; they were truly happy back then!
