I heard from Zhu Qilin that the Japanese delegation has already arrived in the capital.
“Their activities in the capital are naturally arranged by the diplomatic department.
This is the schedule I just got.”
Zhu Qilin handed Xie Wan a stack of documents.
Xie Wan was very satisfied, as it contained the list of members of the delegation and the address of the hotel where they would stay.
However, when Xie Wan saw that the arrangement for the next day was to visit Tongrentang's pharmaceutical workshop, he frowned.
"Isn't Le Song dead? Is the Tong Ren Tang Pharmaceutical Factory still in operation?"
When talking about the Le family, people in the TCM community have complicated expressions. Zhu Qilin said: "Although the Le Song family is dead, their Tong Ren Tang has long been a joint public-private partnership.
Now a man named Liu is in charge.
The Le family's secret recipe had been handed over long ago. When they were in power, they forced Chinese medicine practitioners across the country to hand over more than 500 secret recipes.
In just 1955, Tong Ren Tang made tens of millions of yuan by selling medicines from various companies. The Le family retained shares in Tong Ren Tang and made a fortune.
People die for money and birds die for food. What their family did led to this outcome, which can be considered retribution.
I am worried about those more than 500 secret recipes.
This person specifically asked to visit Tong Ren Tang, and he must be going for these secret recipes.
That didn’t just belong to the Le family, it belonged to traditional Chinese medicine families all over the country, who were coerced by the Le family to donate it to the country.”
Xie Wan thought for a moment and said, "Uncle Zhu, there was a reception for our people today, why didn't you go?"
Zhu Qilin lowered his head in shame and said, "I was afraid that I would not be able to control myself and would rush up to report the situation to certain leaders, thus delaying important matters."
Xie Wan nodded: "Uncle Zhu, they are having a meeting at Union Hospital this afternoon, please take me with you to listen.
We must first identify the person before we can take action.”
Zhu Qilin readily agreed.
Xie Wan saw a very powerful surname in the delegation list, Li Ben.
Xie Wan had heard of a very powerful Chinese herbal medicine company in Japan in later generations, called Liben Tianhaitang.
This is one of the top Kampo medicine companies in Japan.
What’s strange is that this enterprise was just a small workshop with only eight employees 1949 years ago.
It was this small workshop that rose rapidly since my country began to crack down on traditional Chinese medicine. In 1963, it was designated as the Japan-China Friendship Trading Company.
In the 1970s, after the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Japan, it vigorously established medicinal materials bases in China and quickly became the world's number one traditional Chinese medicine company.
They have applied for countless patents for Chinese medicine.
As a result, whenever our own Chinese medicine companies wanted to apply for patents, they would often conflict with them and be judged to have plagiarized them.
"Li Benyuan? This should be the son of Li Benguangsi, the founder of Tianhaitang, right?"
Zhu Qilin actually knew this person.
"Dr. Li Ben is a surgical expert. He is said to be good at skin surgery and has superb suturing skills."
Xie Wan was a little surprised: "Surgery? Western medicine?"
Zhu Qilin nodded and said, "There are not many Chinese medicine experts in our medical exchange group, but there are many Western medicine experts.
During the process of communication, they brought some advanced Western medical science and technology to China.
By the way, one of the tasks of our reception group this time is to purchase a large batch of Western medical surgical instruments and equipment from the Japanese.
We are short of foreign exchange, so we may have to export Chinese medicinal materials in exchange.”
Xie Wan immediately understood the man's trick.
This is a case of repairing the plank road in the open while secretly marching through Chencang!
Under the pretext of supporting the development of Western medicine in our country, they secretly stole our traditional Chinese medicine secrets and medicinal materials.
After twenty years of promoting Western medicine and suppressing traditional Chinese medicine in China, the leaders at the top naturally feel that we are taking advantage.
Who would have thought that Western medical technology was learned by Japanese people from Britain and the United States, so it is not a secret at all.
We can actually learn these technologies by sending people to study in major medical schools around the world.
They exchange open knowledge for our secret recipes. Who wins and who loses? Chinese people who have no patent awareness really don't understand.
As for those medicinal herbs, people in China at that time felt that these things were everywhere in the mountains and plains and were not precious.
Who could have imagined that many medicinal herbs would become extinct later on, and some would even be uprooted by the Japanese?
Xie Wan introduced Dr. Li Benyuan's family business to Zhu Qilin, and Zhu Qilin was stunned.
“No wonder he spoke so clearly and logically when discussing the scientific nature of acupuncture with me last time we met.
So his family practices traditional Chinese medicine?
So why did he study Western medicine?"
Xie Wan said: "Maybe it's a disguise, maybe they are looking for the development direction of combining Chinese and Western medicine.
Traditional Chinese medicine does have its shortcomings, and Western medicine is not omnipotent. In the future, the combination of Chinese and Western medicine will inevitably be a development trend."
Zhu Qilin looked at Xie Wan and asked, "Xiao Wan, I heard from Xiao Nan that you studied Western medicine at the Yucheng Military Medical University. But you are also the successor of Xu's Chunfutang. Do you also want to combine Chinese and Western medicine?"
Xie Wan shook his head: “Uncle Zhu, I don’t have much academic pursuit.
I just want to be a good field medic.
Whether it is Chinese medicine or Western medicine, as long as it can be used in battlefield first aid, I will study it well. "
Zhu Qilin's eyes lit up when he heard this.
He tested Xie Wan's level again, and then said:
"I'm going to give acupuncture to a friend tonight. Xiao Wan, you can come with me then."
Xie Wan couldn't help but feel happy to see the acupuncture method of Zhu family, one of the eight great masters of golden needles.
At this time, someone came to talk to Zhu Qilin about work, so Xie Wan said goodbye to Zhu Qilin and made an appointment to meet at his house at 1 pm to go to Union Hospital for a meeting with the Benzi people.
