Chapter 212 Mission
"Of course not. Learning from each other's strengths and overcoming one's weaknesses has long been recorded in history books."
Chen Zhuyi was not intimidated by Professor Ye's emotions. He expressed his views seriously with a serious expression.
"Thousands of years are enough time to bring about many changes in our country. We already had all the research and development tools they could think of long ago."
“Even if there are those in power who hinder development, when the voice of something becomes so loud that no one can reach it, no one will be able to resist.”
"The fact that these fast-acting drugs haven't become widely available proves that we don't need them much."
She even found several reviews of Chinese medicine for comparison. Her voice was gentle, but it had a power that could not be ignored.
No one can deny that Western medicine has its good points, but is Chinese medicine, which has been passed down for thousands of years, really so bad?
Professor Ye looked at her bright eyes that seemed to glow, sighed and nodded emphatically. As a famous medical expert in the country, Professor Ye knew better than anyone what Chinese medicine represented in this era.
Even though everyone is learning Western medicine now, it is the traditional Chinese medicine that keeps people alive in the fields and villages.
Western medicine may be able to temporarily cure diseases and save lives, but traditional Chinese medicine can cure both the symptoms and the root cause.
"Since you believe in Chinese medicine so much, why don't you learn it yourself?" Professor Ye couldn't help but ask.
Chen Zhuyi is not very old now, and she and Huo Jinzhi don’t have any children to take care of. It is the time for her to study hard.
"I... can't find the time." Chen Zhu sighed, and then said: "Even if I want to read in my spare time, I can't find any decent Chinese medicine books."
She has read almost all the books that can be read. When she is stuck at home, reading is her only way to pass the time.
In later generations, everything related to traditional Chinese medicine has been almost destroyed. If traditional Chinese medicine had not played a role in treating certain diseases, I am afraid no one would care about the development of traditional Chinese medicine.
"Just tell me what you need to see. If I can't find it, I can ask someone to write it for you." Professor Ye thought about it and felt that he still needed to put forward some conditions.
"I can help you find a master, but I also have a requirement. You have to memorize this book when he is almost done with your treatment."
Not long after he entered the room, he took out a well-protected, yellowed book.
The meaning of this statement is that he wants to train Chen Zhuyi.
"I'm not very good at Traditional Chinese Medicine. I've already gone down the wrong path. Even if I wanted to turn back now, I can't remember anything. But you're still young, so someone has to pass on the legacy, right?"
Chen Zhu quickly flipped through the thick book and took a few glances. She was surprised as if she had found a treasure. She asked anxiously, "Are you really going to give me this book?"
"You can copy one and take it back to memorize." Professor Ye smiled. As long as Chen Zhuyi doesn't resist, that would be the best!
"Within a week, return the book to me after you've copied it. I'll call Lao Lin over for you. He's old and needs an apprentice, even if it's just a bookworm."
Traditional Chinese medicine has been passed down for so many years and still needs someone to pass it on. Even if Chen Zhuyi cannot diagnose and treat people, it is good enough that he can write a book.
"Okay." Chen Zhuyi agreed without hesitation, talked to Professor Ye for a few more words, and then couldn't wait to leave with the book.
Huo Jinzhi saw her quickly lock herself in the room and called her several times but there was no response, which made his headache worse.
No matter what happens, it is more important than him.
Forget it, it’s rare to see Chen Zhuyi being so eager, so let her be.
When Ye Xumei came back at night, he saw that the food he had left for Chen Zhuyi had been put aside by her. His eyelids suddenly jumped: "You didn't eat anything today, aren't you hungry?"
She patted Chen Zhuyi's shoulder and said that she had been talking with Dr. Zhong in the hospital all day today just to figure out Zhou Xingfan's physical condition.
"I'm not very hungry. I don't have much time. As long as I can copy this book, Zhou Xingfan will be able to have Chinese medicine to treat his illness. Besides, these are all precious treasures."
Chen Zhu shook his head and took a sip of water.
She had searched for this kind of simple and easy-to-understand book for a long time in her previous life, but she only found a single missing copy.
Now that she has the opportunity to read and write freely, she is so excited!
"You..." Ye Xumei became more and more worried, but when she saw Chen Zhu's refreshed expression, she could not say anything. She could only nod woodenly and bless him respectfully.
"Remember to eat. You're really starving yourself to death. All that reading is a waste."
Chen Zhuyi perfunctorily took two bites of the cold steamed bun, and finished the meal with just some cold water without even having any vegetables.
When his body could no longer bear it, Chen Zhuyi reluctantly went to bed. When he woke up, a long time had passed.
Chen Zhu looked at the bright sun outside, squinted his eyes, and then stretched his muscles to wash up.
The door was opened. Huo Jinzhi had obtained the key that Ye Xumei had left behind early in the morning and came in with the food he had just bought from the state-owned restaurant.
"Eat first." Huo Jinzhi said, hiding the food in his hand.
Chen Zhuyi ate quickly, and couldn't help looking at his hands, and asked with increasing curiosity: "What did you buy?"
"You'll know after you finish eating." Huo Jinzhi sat opposite her, as if he wanted to stare at her until she finished her meal before he would solve the mystery.
These words made Chen Zhuyi anxious. He quickly finished his meal and went to get it.
"This is a basic illustrated book I bought for you at Xinhua Bookstore. It contains many plants from around the world. I thought, since this is Chinese medicine, you can't possibly draw all the herbs, so the plant pictures with color descriptions should be helpful."
Seeing her surprised expression, Huo Jinzhi also started laughing.
He started working as soon as he heard Ye Xumei's words in the morning. He had just bought all the items not long ago, and they had to be colorful so that Chen Zhu could cut them more easily.
He also prepared two books in case the pictures on the pages were on the front and back of the same paper!
"I was still worrying about how to draw the picture, and you sent it to me. I love you so much!" Chen Zhu, who was very excited, hugged the book and tiptoed to give Huo Jinzhi a big kiss on the face, completely ignoring the ripples in Huo Jinzhi's heart.
Once again, she devoted her full attention to the task of reading.
A week passed in a flash. Chen Zhuyi stretched his sore muscles and stood at Professor Ye's door with the tattered books he had pieced together. "I'm here to hand in the task."
