Cheers~~~
After three rounds of drinks, every old man was in high spirits, including Lin Sanqi, because he had heard too many secrets of the Republic of China period.
These old national treasures are indeed extraordinary. They have come into contact with almost all the celebrities of the Republic of China mentioned in books, and even know some secrets in their homes.
After all, doctors not only treat high-ranking officials and celebrities, but also their families. In the process, they know too many secrets.
Just think about how many big and small events in the harem in which Doctor Wen was involved in the TV series "The Legend of Zhen Huan".
Lin Sanqi was delighted to hear this and felt that he could definitely publish a book called "Those Things About the Republic of China". It would definitely become a huge hit and make him a platinum writer.
The old men took turns telling stories one by one. When it was Mr. Shi Jinmo's turn, Lin Sanqi became even more interested:
"Do you know Zhang Kequn?"
Shi Jinmo was a little surprised and asked, "Hey, Xiaolin, do you know my cousin's granddaughter?"
Lin Sanqi thought to himself, "Who the hell do I know? I just asked about this after hearing Ai Dajin's story. It seems that this guy is not lying. He comes from a famous family."
"I don't know him, just asking, hehe."
"Xiao Lin, let me tell you, Xiao Qun is still a high school student, and you are already 24 years old. You two are not suitable for each other, so don't try to hit on my granddaughter."
When Lin Sanqi heard Old Man Shi’s warning, he really wanted to kill himself.
He really had never seen Zhang Kequn, but thinking about Ai Dajin's figure and appearance, he must have thought that Ms. Zhang, Ai Dajin's mother, must not have looked much better when she was young. How could she compare with Mao Xiaotong... Oh no, Pan Ye.
"Grandpa, I heard your house has 99 rooms? One-tenth the size of the Forbidden City? Is this true or false?"
Mr. Shi drank the Shaoxing rice wine in his cup and chuckled:
"I'm just a doctor, not a prince. How could I have such a big house?"
The friendly Mr. Xiao Long next to him joked:
"You're being modest, Xiaolin. Although Old Man Shi's mansion in Rongxian Hutong isn't as exaggerated as 99 rooms, it still has 49 and a half. Among all of us, he's the richest. Fortunately, this old guy is smart, otherwise he wouldn't be able to drink with us now."
Old Man Shi laughed and scolded, "Your house is not small either. Who here has a small house? You are a bunch of old people who are ashamed to only criticize others."
Hahaha, everyone laughed again.
After liberation, Shi Jinmo only retained two courtyards for his family to live in, and most of the other properties were "rented" to ordinary people.
Ai Dajin said that he was born in the Shi family. This statement was correct, but there were so many people born in the Shi family at that time, and it had become a slum after all.
However, the Shi family was unable to reclaim their house even after the reform and opening up because the property rights were unclear and they had to give it up completely.
Lin Sanqi sat closer at this time and asked curiously:
"Mr. Shi, I heard that when you were petitioning for Traditional Chinese Medicine in Nanjing, you had contact with the Wang family?"
Lin Sanqi had seen this story in his past life's records, and now that the protagonist was right before his eyes, he naturally wanted to ask:
"Wang family? Which Wang family?"
"He's the one who betrayed his country, was buried on Plum Blossom Mountain, and was blown up into the sky by a cannon."
Speaking of this big man, everyone's eyes turned to Vice President Ji who was eating meat.
Vice President Ji was stunned for a moment, then put down his chopsticks and shouted in a very exaggerated manner:
"Oh, I'm dizzy. I can't take it anymore. I'm drunk. I'm going to lie down for a while. Please leave me alone..."
After saying that, Vice President Ji fell back on the kang, but his ears were still erect. It was obvious that he was also very curious about some of the secrets of that year.
Seeing that there was no possibility of leaking secrets in today's environment, and after a few drinks, Mr. Shi became interested:
"My hometown is Xiaoshan, Shaoxing Prefecture, and Wang Jingwei's hometown is Shanyin, Shaoxing Prefecture. The two counties are connected, so it's not an exaggeration to say we are fellow villagers. In those days, people valued fellow villagers, and there was a natural alliance between fellow villagers."
Lin Sanqi blinked and thought, is this old man drunk?
"Grandpa, I remember Wang was from the south, from Sanshui, right? How did he become from Shaoxing?"
"It's true that he's from Sanshui. Wang Jingwei was indeed born in Dongguang Province. That's because his father is a native of Shaoxing. After failing the imperial examination, he fled from Shaoxing to Foshan to work as a legal advisor to make a living. That's why the family moved to Sanshui. Wang Jingwei was born in Sanshui, but his eldest brother, Wang Zhaoyong, was born in Shaoxing.
We Chinese people pay attention to ancestral origin. Wang's father and grandfather were both from Shaoxing, and the family tree was also the Wang family of Shaoxing. Therefore, Wang openly claimed to be a Shaoxing native in Nanjing at that time. Of course, this was also intended to compete with Chiang Kai-shek in order to win the support of capitalists in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
Just like the Premier later claimed to be from Shaoxing on formal occasions, although he was born in Jiangsu, his father was from Shaoxing. The Premier's "Nankai School Graduation Certificate" recorded: Zhou *lai, a middle school student, was 19 years old and from Shaoxing County, Zhejiang.
There's another thing you might not know: the ancestral tombs of the Wang and Zhou families are located next to each other, only a few kilometers apart. However, it was later reported that the Shaoxing authorities refused to acknowledge Wang as a Shaoxing native, only recognizing Zhou as one, and strongly demanded that the history be revised to state directly that Wang was from Sanshui, Guangdong.
Hahahaha~~~
The old men all laughed.
Even Vice President Ji, who was lying on the fire pit, laughed secretly after hearing this.
Mr. Shi put down his chopsticks. He must have been holding back for too long and wanted to find someone to talk to and relax.
"When they wanted to abolish traditional Chinese medicine, all the traditional Chinese medicine practitioners in the country gathered in Nanjing to make a scene. Several of you here went. But no one could come up with a good solution. We went to Baldy and Chen Cheng, but it was no use. They ignored us.
At the time, Wang Jingwei was the main force opposing traditional Chinese medicine. Later, someone suggested that Shi Jinmo and Premier Wang Jingwei were from the same hometown, and asked him to talk to Wang. For the sake of traditional Chinese medicine, I shamelessly went to his house, bearing gifts.
The result is predictable. Wang Jingwei never met me, but he didn't break up with me. Instead, he sent his wife, Chen B, to meet me. Oh, I heard she died of illness last year. Life is so unpredictable!
Lin Sanqi checked the information and knew that this Chen B was very inspiring in the first half of her life, but in the second half of her life, she and her husband became the infamous Han prison.
For this reason, kneeling statues of Qin Song's parents were modeled after the kneeling statues of the Yue Temple and Qin Song's parents were built all over the country to commemorate this pair of adulterers.
Later, in 2005, when Wang’s youngest son returned to China and saw the kneeling statues of his parents, one can imagine the pain he felt inside. His parents were so unkind that their children and family could not hold their heads up.
"Mr. Chen B was quite polite to me at the time and accepted the petition I handed over. I stayed for about half an hour before leaving. The petition I handed over was deliberately thrown into a trash can, and there has been no response since then.
But perhaps it was the spirit of the ancestors who showed up, and Heaven would not let Traditional Chinese Medicine die. Just when everyone was in despair, Mr. Chen B's mother happened to fall seriously ill with dysentery. She had diarrhea so bad that she was almost dehydrated and was on the verge of death.
Lin Sanqi thought he was familiar with dysentery. The real plague in Guangxi before was dysentery.
"At that time, Wang Jiajia's mother-in-law was sent to the National Central Hospital. All available medicines were used, including penicillin and sulfa drugs, which were injected into her body as if they were free. However, the diarrhea would not stop. Western medicine was helpless, and the Wang family was told to prepare for her funeral.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, dysentery is caused by external exposure to damp heat and toxic pathogenic qi, coupled with internal damage from a cold diet that damages the spleen, stomach, and intestines, leading to a blockage of spleen and stomach qi and a failure to circulate freely. When diagnosing symptoms, it's important to distinguish between cold, heat, deficiency, and excess. Generally speaking, sudden dysentery is more likely to be caused by excess, while chronic dysentery is more likely to be caused by deficiency.
Western medicine is a one-trick pony. No matter what the cause, or whether you're really weak or ill, they'll prescribe antibiotics. But when antibiotics fail, Western medicine can't come up with a better solution. Once they encounter a difficult and complicated disease, they're completely clueless."
Several old men were cheering nearby:
"Well said! These little bitches are always opposing traditional Chinese medicine. They can't even treat the symptoms, so how can they cure them?"
"That's right, at critical moments, we still have to rely on our Chinese medicine practitioners."
Lin Sanqi quickly poured rice wine for Mr. Shi and continued to ask, "What's next?"
"Then Wang Jingwei's mother-in-law was sent back home, and the family prepared for the funeral. Later, Wang had an aide, who was actually a Shaoxing lawyer named Zhao Benji. He suggested that all the famous Chinese medicine practitioners in the country were in Nanjing, so why not find a Chinese medicine practitioner?
Wang disagreed at the time, as he was against traditional Chinese medicine. Now, he's asking a traditional Chinese medicine doctor to treat him, which is like slapping himself in the face. But Mr. Chen B wanted to give it a try. After all, his daughter is his biological daughter, while his son-in-law is just an outsider at a critical moment.
Hehehe~~~~
"It was Mr. Chen B who personally came to the hotel to invite me. He was extremely polite and kept referring to me as Mr. Shi. What could I do? I had to go. At that time, Wang Jingwei hadn't surrendered to the Japanese yet and was still a national leader.
Besides, this is an opportunity. If I can cure Wang's mother-in-law, wouldn't we prove that Chinese medicine is indeed effective and not a scam or witch doctor? We can use this effectiveness to silence those who oppose Chinese medicine. This is not just to flatter the Wang family."
At this time, Mr. Xiao Longyou raised his glass, already a little drunk:
"Old Shi, we old brothers know you've been wronged. Now some people don't believe you and accuse you of being a lackey of the Dahan Prison with a murky past. This statement is untenable, and we can all testify for you!"
Old Man Shi shook his head slightly:
"At my age, personal gains and losses are no longer important. But I am afraid that the 12 of us in the room will be discredited. No one will want to learn Chinese medicine from us, and our papers won't be published. I'm really afraid that Chinese medicine will be lost."
Old Man Han slapped Lin Sanqi's shoulder hard:
"Noisy, hasn't Dean Shen sent a young man here? If this kid gets the upper hand, we'll teach him a lesson..."
Lin Sanqi was just about to flatter the old men when someone outside the house suddenly exclaimed:
"Hurry up, hurry up, there are wolves eating children~~~"
Vice President Ji suddenly sat up and exchanged glances with Lin Sanqi. Then, the two of them quickly jumped out of the fire pit, not even having time to put on their shoes, and ran out the door... (End of this chapter)
