Chu Jiangnan turned around and asked Qin Muye: "Muye, you haven't been back to the capital for a long time, right? I heard that your mother went back to the capital, why don't you go back to see her?"
Qin Muye received a call from his mother two days ago, and learned that his mother had finally been approved to return to Beijing to recuperate due to health reasons.
He said: "I just returned to the Second Division, there are a lot of things to do, and I can't leave.
On the phone, my eldest sister said that Mom’s illness was not serious and she would take care of her.
I will go back to have a look during the Spring Festival.”
…
Xie Wan was a little tired of listening to Chu Jiangnan talking around, so he yawned and said, "Captain Chu, you and Muye drink slowly. I still have some medical records to sort out, so I won't accompany you."
After saying this, Xie Wan got up and went into the inner room.
Chu Jiangnan was anxious and said, "Xiao Xie, do you want to take advantage of the holiday and go to the capital?"
Xie Wan shook her head: "I don't want to go to the capital."
Xie Wan really didn't want to go to Beijing.
It's mainly because of the current situation and environment. The Si Ren Gang is in its last crazy period and the capital is in a state of panic. If a small fry like her goes there, she's really worried that she might accidentally come into contact with someone she shouldn't come into contact with and bring about a fatal disaster.
Seeing Chu Jiangnan hesitate to speak, Xie Wan, considering that he had taken good care of her, asked, "Is there a mission? You are the captain. If there is a mission, you can just give the order directly. Why do you have to beat around the bush?"
Chu Jiangnan then said awkwardly: "This is not a mission, and even the higher-ups don't allow us to intervene.
If you want to go, it’s best to go in private.”
Xie Wan and Qin Muye looked at each other.
Qin Muye said, "What are you up to again? It's not your personal matter, is it?"
Chu Jiangnan hurriedly shook his head, "How could I possibly trouble Military Doctor Xie for my personal affairs?
It’s just that my idea on this matter is different from the above.
And you know that my grandfather’s surname is Zhu, and he is also a Chinese medicine practitioner.”
Xie Wan became interested and asked, "Captain Chu, what you want to talk about is related to our traditional Chinese medicine?"
Chu Jiangnan said: "This time, we dug deeper into the Wu Liqin case and found that the enemy spies were a network.
These people are involved in many units including education, military and medicine.
After tracing back layer by layer, we have arrested quite a few people.
It has been confirmed that this enemy spy network has become active again since the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Japan.”
As Xie Wan recalls, China and Japan established diplomatic relations on September 29, 1972.
The Prime Minister of Japan, Kakuei Tanaka, visited China and jointly issued a Sino-Japanese joint statement with the old man, formally establishing diplomatic relations.
Chu Jiangnan said: "The establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Japan was originally a major move for us to maintain a good international environment, improve the long-standing hostile relationship between the two countries, and develop good-neighborly and friendly relations.
However, with the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries, the enemy had an opportunity to exploit.
Among the people we arrested this time were enemy agents lurking in the medical system.
It was confessed that some of them had been inciting and slandering traditional Chinese medicine for 20 years, taking advantage of the sectarianism of some of our comrades to stir up struggles between Chinese and Western medicine, and almost wiped out our traditional Chinese medicine heritage.
They plundered secret recipes from our country and secretly sent them back to their country to develop Chinese herbal medicine.
My great-grandfather died in the dispute between Chinese and Western medicine. His name was Zhu Guangpu. "
Xie Wan was shocked when he heard this. "The head of the Zhu family, one of the eight great masters of golden needles?"
Chu Jiangnan nodded.
The way Xie Wan looked at Chu Jiangnan was different, and there was an inexplicable sense of intimacy.
Qin Muye explained: "Captain Chu's mother's original surname was Zhu, but for some reasons she was adopted by a family named Guo."
Chu Jiangnan continued, "Yes, my mother and my uncle Zhu Qilin later met and had a good relationship.
My uncle is now the only heir of the Zhu family of the Cold Damage School. Among the famous families that the other party specifically requested to communicate with, there is the Zhu family of the Cold Damage School.
I would like to ask you, Xiao Xie, to go to the capital city, pretending to be my uncle's student, mingle with the reception staff, and check out the members of this Japanese country's medical team.
Xiao Xie, you are the successor of Xu's Chunfutang. You should be very clear about the situation of traditional Chinese medicine in recent years.
Traditional Chinese medicine, which has been passed down in China for thousands of years, has been abandoned like a worn-out clog in its own country, but has become popular among the Japanese.
More than half of the secret recipes offered by the major families in the 1950s have been stolen by enemy agents and gradually sent back to Japan."
Speaking of this, even though Chu Jiangnan was an outsider, he was already filled with indignation.
He observed Xie Wan's expression, hoping that Xie Wan would stand up and step forward.
Instead, Xie Wan lowered his head and began to count the peanuts.
"Chu Jiangnan, resentment value +299;"
Chu Jiangnan had no choice but to continue:
“Xiao Xie, although we haven’t found any problems with the medical team of this country yet.
But based on my intuition, I think some of them must be here to contact domestic spies, hand over secret recipes, or engage in other espionage activities.
The attitude from above is that the special agents are not allowed to contact the exchange group for fear of affecting the diplomatic relations between the two countries.
The National Security Bureau may send people to monitor me, but the situation there is quite complicated right now, so I am not very reassured.
I don’t want the Japanese to steal our prescriptions anymore. I’m even more worried that they will continue to contact spies, persecute the descendants of Chinese medicine, and cut off the inheritance of Chinese medicine in our country, so I would like to ask you to go there.”
Xie Wan seemed to be counting peanuts, but actually his heart was in turmoil.
She admired Chu Jiangnan's foresight.
She knew that the Japanese started stealing our Chinese medicine secrets in the 1960s, and that the theft became even more rampant after the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Japan in the 1970s.
They rushed to register a large number of Chinese herbal medicine formulas, resulting in Japan accounting for over 70 percent of the world's Chinese medicine market share after the 1990s. Together with the 20 percent occupied by Korea, Japan and South Korea's Chinese herbal medicines have a global market share of over 90 percent.
However, our country has become a raw material production base, and the export volume of finished medicines accounts for only 2% of the world's traditional Chinese medicine market.
Ninety percent of the profits are taken away by Japanese and Korean traditional Chinese medicines.
It turns out that in the 1970s, it wasn’t that no one was aware of this problem, but that they were unable to prevent the situation from deteriorating?
In her previous life, Xie Wan’s grandmother died of stomach cancer, and she had consulted a traditional Chinese medicine doctor at that time.
Before the condition worsened, I got a prescription that required the use of wild Dendrobium officinale.
Unfortunately, at that time, it was impossible to buy real wild Dendrobium officinale. It was said that its roots had been dug up by the Japanese as early as the 1970s and 1980s.
Later, it could only be replaced by artificially cultivated Dendrobium officinale, but the medicinal effect was far different.
Xie Wan hated the Japanese for attacking Chinese traditional medicine, so he would naturally not stand idly by.
Xie Wan raised his head and said to Chu Jiangnan, "I promised you a trip to the capital, and you can arrange how to get into the reception group.
I won’t let anyone steal the secret recipe right under my nose.”
