Chapter 237 Lin Sanqi's Difficulty in Learning Chinese Medicine
In early March, the daytime temperature in the Ming Tombs can reach over 10 degrees Celsius.
Spring is here, everything is revived, and it is mating season for animals on the prairie again...
Ugh, that's too blunt, let's do it again.
Spring has arrived, and everything is coming back to life. The air is filled with the scent of romance and hormones. Most species enter their estrus period during this time, hoping to give birth to their babies in the coming months...
After Lin Sanqi drove the car to the Changping branch, he quickly jumped out and ran to the passenger seat, then helped Pan Ye out of the car with his hand.
This scene was immediately seen by the workers working in the fields, and many of them began to whisper to each other.
Therefore, Lin Sanqi's actions can be said to be bold.
In fact, this was also done intentionally by Lin Sanqi. He just wanted to tell everyone that this girl is my, Lin Sanqi's woman, the biological daughter-in-law of Dr. Lin Kushen, and the godson of Dean Shen.
So don't engage in workplace bullying, and no one should think of bullying her.
Pan Ye's face was not normal today, it was always red, but she did not reject Lin Sanqi's kindness. Instead, she stretched out her hand for him to hold and got off the truck.
Of course he shook his hand off immediately after getting off the car, and said something else:
"Wow, Sanqi, this is the Changping branch. The environment here is really nice, and the air is so good. To describe it with a line from a poem: a river surrounds the fields with green, and two mountains open their doors to welcome the green."
Lin Sanqi thought, forget it! How could the countryside be so beautiful? If it were so picturesque, why would all those workers be crying and shouting that they didn't want to go back to their hometowns to farm?
No matter which dynasty, farmers are the most miserable, tired and sad. For example, in March, which is the time when there is a shortage of food, no one knows how many farmers will go hungry.
At this time, Vice President Ji and Section Chief Yang Shaohua saw the big truck and hurried over.
Lin Sanqi quickly introduced Pan Ye:
"This is Dean Ji from the Changping branch, and this is Section Chief Yang from the General Affairs Department. Deputy Ji, Section Yang, and this is my partner, Pan Ye. This has been verified by Dean Shen and my parents."
Pan Ye blushed and gently hit Lin Sanqi, then shyly greeted:
"Hello, Dean Ji, hello, Section Chief Yang!"
"Wow, you've found someone who's good-looking and a college student, you have good taste, haha. Mr. Pan, right? Let Comrade Lin Sanqi arrange your future internships. Don't worry, he can arrange any instructor you want."
"Yeah, thank you, Dean Ji."
Vice President Ji was obviously a little absent-minded. He pulled Lin Sanqi over and asked softly:
"The cart is full of food. How much is there in total?"
Lin Sanqi also lowered his voice and said:
"This time, a total of 20 tons of corn and millet flour were brought in, ostensibly as medicinal materials. Our hospital has another 100 tons of food on the way."
Vice President Ji seemed to be worried:
"Yes, keep it a secret. There's so much grain, precious grain! If anyone knew about it, there would be trouble. Lao Yang, hurry up! Don't look for other employees. We, the drivers, will quietly transfer the grain to the warehouse."
Lin Sanqi was a little strange:
"Deputy Ji, why are you so afraid of people knowing? In order to stabilize the morale of the troops, shouldn't we tell the employees that we have food on hand? They shouldn't be afraid of going hungry."
Section Chief Yang then explained:
"Xiao Qi, you don't know, it hasn't rained all winter, and everyone is very anxious. Yesterday, villagers from nearby came to us to ask for food, which shows that food supply in the countryside is even more of a problem.
If outsiders knew that we had grain on our farm, do you believe that the relevant departments in Changping, and even the surrounding farmers, would come to ask for it? If we don’t give it to them, they would really just rob us.”
Pan Ye covered his mouth with his hands, his eyes flashing with panic. "What should I do?"
Lin Sanqi laughed:
"What should we do? Of course, we should isolate ourselves from the outside world. Tell our employees and their families not to interact with the surrounding farmers, and not to communicate with people from other units. We should isolate ourselves, be self-sufficient, and selfish..."
Vice President Ji sighed: "It's impossible not to be selfish. Hurry up and move the food."
Lin Sanqi had just done hard labor, and he definitely wouldn't do it if he were asked to move food again, so he made an excuse:
"Deputy Ji, you guys move the food first. I still have to take Pan Ye to meet the 12 old national treasures. Dean Shen has something to tell them."
"Okay, go ahead. We can handle this ourselves."
Lin Sanqi led Pan Ye to the bungalow area and found that the old men were not in the house. Then he went to the farm to look for them, and while searching, he instructed:
"These 12 old men are currently the most skilled doctors in the field of Traditional Chinese Medicine in China. For example, among the four famous doctors in Peking, Shi Jinmo and Xiao Longyou, who are still alive, are both here. In addition, Mr. Han Bangxu is currently the number one in acupuncture. Mr. Jiang Zonghui is best at men's medicine.
The best in orthopedics is Mr. Ding Zhongying, Mr. Chen Wujiu is a pediatric expert, and Mr. Cao Yingfu is a pulmonologist, and Mr. Lu Yuanlei is a spleen and stomach disease expert, both of which are the most famous in the country.
Of course, you should go to the typhoid department. Your father-in-law, Lin Kushen, is the most famous doctor in the country..."
Lin Sanqi thought Pan Ye would say, "We haven't gotten married yet, don't talk nonsense, who is my father-in-law?"
Unexpectedly, Pan Ye just nodded silently without refuting. It was obvious that she had already put herself in the shoes of the future daughter-in-law of the Lin family, which made Lin Sanqi feel happy again.
“I brought you to the Changping branch because these 12 old men are unmatched in the country, not even the teachers in your school can compare.
They just happen to be in my care now, and the hospital has asked me to take care of their daily needs, so I have to quickly get you in. As long as they are willing to accept you as a disciple, and you learn a few tricks from these 12 old men, you will definitely be the best Chinese medicine practitioner in the country in the future."
Pan Ye was a little excited after hearing this. As a female college student who aspires to become a famous doctor, she knew how precious this opportunity was to be able to learn from so many top-notch veteran Chinese medicine practitioners.
But she still had a small question:
"Sanqi, you also come from a family of traditional Chinese medicine. Why don't you learn Chinese medicine from me when you have such a good opportunity?"
Thinking of this, Lin Sanqi could only smile bitterly. This was his biggest worry.
He also wants to learn it, but Chinese medicine is really too difficult to learn.
One is that you must have talent to study Chinese medicine. Let’s not talk about other things, just the simplest one. If you are good at liberal arts, you can understand and memorize the ancient Chinese texts in medical books, right?
But Lin Sanqi is a science student, and his ability to understand text is limited to love letters. If he really has to learn classical Chinese, especially the obscure and difficult classical Chinese, he really can't handle it.
Secondly, the learning cycle for TCM is too long. Even with the later-generation 5-year undergraduate and 3-year graduate programs, the resulting TCM master's degree is only considered entry-level. Even if one adds another 3 years of doctoral study, after 11 years, one can become a doctor, but only an ordinary one.
Just like Lin Gancao, he has been practicing Chinese medicine since he was a child. Now he is 31 years old and still follows his father to copy prescriptions and learn skills. Occasionally, he will take over the consultation when his father is not around.
This shows that Lin Gancao has studied Chinese medicine for more than 20 years, but has not yet officially graduated, or at least has not reached the requirements of Lin Sophora flavescens.
As for the second son of the Lin family, Lin Duzhong, he studied acupuncture.
It is difficult to master acupuncture, but it is easy to learn the basics to treat common diseases, so he is practicing independently, but his level is just average and the possibility of him becoming a famous doctor is very small.
Lin Sanqi was 24 years old after the Chinese New Year. He knew some basic knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine, but he was definitely a dabbler among dabblers.
If he wants to study Chinese medicine, he has to follow 12 old Chinese medicine masters in various specialties. It will definitely take more than one or two years to become a master. How can he let him study medicine for 20 or 30 years?
Lin Sanqi, who was in his forties or fifties, might indeed have achieved academic success and become a famous doctor.
But even if he became a famous doctor, what good would that do? How much money could he make? How many more 20 years could that small family in 2013 wait?
Unless God gives him a golden finger now, he can become like the protagonist in the fairy tale novel, where a medical book will instantly appear in his mind, or he can spend money to upgrade and quickly become a master of traditional Chinese medicine.
This is obviously impossible, as this is an urban novel.
So it would be better to take advantage of the opportunity to make medicine, exchange food for medicine, or exchange for secret recipes, and then set up your own pharmaceutical company and reach the peak of your life.
Lin Sanqi thought that this might be an important reason for the demise of traditional Chinese medicine. The training cycle is too long, and the traffic is difficult to monetize. How many young people now have the patience to pursue academic research?
Unlike Western medicine, you can directly take the intermediate professional qualification exam while studying for a master's degree, and after graduation you can become an attending physician and start making money directly.
Although the training period for Western medicine doctors is also very long compared to other majors, it is much shorter than that of traditional Chinese medicine doctors.
Seeing her boyfriend in a daze, Pan Ye nudged him with her shoulder and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Lin Sanqi came back to his senses and pointed to a field not far away and said:
"Noisy, see? Those old national treasures are plowing the land."
Pan Ye took a closer look and asked in confusion, "That's not right. Why do I feel like they are just basking in the sun and not working at all?"
In the fields, several old men were lying or sitting on the hay in groups of three or four, with farm tools thrown in a mess. Not far away, staff from the Chinese medicine hospital were busy clearing the land.
Some people may say, these old national treasures are so old, why don’t they lie down at home and enjoy themselves, why do we still have to work?
