Perspective Medical Genius Young Master

Xiao Yifei looked around and found that the students nearby were listening very attentively; some even took out notebooks to jot down notes. This kind of earnest attitude towards learning truly deserves praise. It seems the academic atmosphere at this school is quite strong, largely because Hu Jingtang’s lectures are quite good.

Xiao Yifei is most annoyed by those who don’t even know what they’re saying on stage, speaking incoherently, with the audience lacking the patience to listen. That’s why he rarely attends such sessions, but today he was extremely glad he came and felt he must thank Song Baiyang; otherwise, he might have missed out.

There are four major ancient civilizations in the world, but only Huaxia has existed continuously from ancient times to the present, never interrupted. This has helped cultural heritage be well preserved. Only Chinese Medicine has left a centuries-old medical legacy for our descendants, which is undoubtedly a rich fortune for us.

However, sometimes too much heritage can have negative aspects, and Chinese Medicine is no exception. Over the millennia, it has always been a source of pride, but its status declined as Huaxia interacted more with the world, with Western medicine gradually replacing Chinese Medicine.

In recent years, Chinese Medicine has been suppressed, and we all believed it unscientific because it didn’t align with Western medical standards. Since the West has always been more advanced, we naturally think Western medicine is good, and Chinese Medicine is not.

Now, as China is gradually becoming stronger, we finally have the confidence to call Chinese Medicine our national traditional culture. Even many foreigners have started to notice its wonders. The state has finally recognized Chinese Medicine as a "World Cultural Heritage." Although Western medicine still holds a high status now, the rise of Chinese Medicine is no less significant than that of Western medicine.

Hu Jingtang usually doesn’t accept such lectures; one reason is he feels he doesn’t lecture well enough, misleading students. Secondly, he knows that such lectures usually don’t have an attentive audience. He had accepted such lectures before, and although he was paid well, few listened seriously, making him feel his hard work was in vain and lacking a sense of achievement.

After a few such experiences, he scarcely took on such events again, even though the pay was quite good. This time, he came to lecture at the school because an old friend from the medical school requested it, so for the sake of friendship, he came.

That old friend told him: "Kids these days are getting more and more unfocused. I hope you can talk to them. Give them a bit of motivation to ignite their interest in learning. I feel they lack drive now. They don’t worry about food or clothing, lacking nothing. If the sky falls, their parents will have their backs. So they’re not worried about their future at all. But I’m concerned! What will happen to China’s medical field if they continue like this?"

"So, old Hu, just take it as a favor. Talk to them. It’s good to have some hope for China’s medical field yourself."

So, he trusted his old friend’s words, believing that perhaps the young generation in China wasn’t entirely lost.
