Information, news, newspapers.
The enthusiastic discussions in the streets and alleys, the praise from the old men playing chess, and the repeated broadcasts on television.
A piece of news swept across the entire country.
Even the world's largest social networking site, "Texas," has started pushing it out like crazy.
In no time, the name Jiangcheng became a household name.
"China has successfully developed gene therapy drugs that can treat the vast majority of genetic diseases."
This news brought a glimmer of hope to the families of the children in the ward, as if a ray of hope had been shining through the window onto their faces.
Millions of children are lying in hospital beds, countless infants are still in swaddling clothes, and even babies who have just been diagnosed with congenital malformations by ultrasound in their wombs.
They are saved.
This is the first ray of dawn breaking through the long night.
This marks the first time that China has surpassed all others in human progress, far ahead of developed countries.
It has made a significant contribution to the history of human progress.
"Young prodigy" and "dawn of China"—these accolades seem insufficient to describe the contributions made by Jiangcheng.
Beyond the social value he has contributed, the government has also recognized the spiritual value this young researcher has brought.
The gentleman once said something that will be remembered for a thousand years, and countless people have been reciting it in the night. This is the gentleman's sincere patriotism.
Jiang Cheng will continue to recite it over and over again, engraving it in his heart.
The gentleman said, “May Chinese youth all shake off their apathy and strive upwards, without listening to those who give up on themselves. Those who can do things should do them, those who can speak out should speak out, and those who have a little warmth and light should give off a little light, like fireflies, they can also give off a little light in the darkness, without waiting for a torch.”
"If there is no torch thereafter: I will be the only light!"
Since gene therapy drugs entered the market, besides the excitement felt by the public, one of their biggest concerns is:
Gene drugs are produced by mobilizing a large number of researchers, funds, and painstaking efforts.
What price will it be released at?
The authorities provided their answer.
3.6.
It's not 36,000, it's 3.6 pieces.
The moment the price was revealed, the moment Yangshi issued its statement.
The crowd was in uproar.
For those few seconds, the people watching Yangshi TV's evening news on their screens were stunned.
Time seemed to stand still.
The streets and alleys of various cities.
In the restaurant, the chopsticks that were picking at peanuts stopped, the slurping of soup stopped, the taxi drivers and passengers who were soliciting customers froze, and the couples in the hotel in the charming street who were planning to sleep together stopped moving.
These were a few seconds of silence for China.
Those were also a few seconds that stirred up a storm of emotions in the hearts of all Chinese people...
"Three yuan and sixty cents, that's not even as expensive as the registration fee..."
The taxi driver muttered to himself.
The price of a bottle of beverage can buy gene therapy in a hospital that could alter the life of a child with a genetic disease.
This was a decision made by the authorities.
It's not just the general public who don't understand; even researchers don't understand it.
Because the cost of manufacturing the drug is ten or even a hundred times higher than the selling price.
Where does the money for manufacturing pharmaceuticals come from? Does the government foot the bill?
It's important to understand that pharmaceuticals are a mainstay of the national treasury revenue.
The authorities quickly provided their own answer.
"We strictly control the quality of this medicine. Any child using it must present a birth certificate and other materials. One dose per person. Furthermore, we are the only ones in the world that possess this reagent. The patent will not be granted to any other country. If you want to buy it, this is the price."
The middle-aged man on the screen stretched out two hands, "36,000 dollars."
The crowd gasped in shock!
If this reagent were exported at this price, the resulting profits would be unimaginable for China...
Let alone the cost of manufacturing drugs, it could increase by tens of thousands of times!
Why is the domestic price 3.6 yuan?
Because we are of one mind with our country and our family.
Don't say things like, "Scientific research knows no borders!"
In recent years, what kind of attitude have the great powers shown towards China, which suffers from a lack of medical care?
I'm sure everyone knows the answer to that.
The authorities are not saints, neither is Jiangcheng, and certainly not the millions of ordinary people.
Give a tree and receive a peach in return.
If we are attacked with a knife, what should we respond with?
Naturally, the Emperor's sword must be placed at their necks!
......
"Hey, Xiaocheng, have you seen the news?"
Jiang Cheng, who was sitting blankly on the sofa watching the news at the Science and Technology Research Institute, suddenly received a call from his mother.
"Hey, Mom, I'm watching the news."
My mother's excited voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Then you must have seen that researcher, right? A young genius! He developed gene therapy that every Chinese family can afford. This young man is amazing. He even shares your name. You can share in his good fortune. Your dad was against it when I named you that, but now it seems that it was the right choice."
"Mom, didn't you complain before that my name wasn't nice...?"
"Bullshit! When did I say that? It was your dad who said it." Jiang's mother's angry voice came from the other end of the phone.
She was a very beautiful mother, but also a woman who liked to nag and chatter on and on.
"Do you know that Mrs. Chen from Building 9 in our community works at a hospital?"
"I remember."
"Her son has albinism and was constantly bullied and discriminated against at school. Mrs. Chen was terribly worried. When she heard about gene therapy, she rushed her son to try it. Now, after only a few days, his condition has started to improve, and he's becoming more confident. Mrs. Chen cries every day, saying that her son will never have to suffer discrimination again, and he won't be bullied in society..."
