Chapter 922 The student aspires to medicine, loves the Tang Dynasty, is loyal to the Tang Dynasty, and adheres to medical ethics...
The climax of today's opening ceremony began after Li San Niang invited Princess Taiping back to her seat. Then, more than a hundred young women dressed in uniform light green clothes, all newly recruited this year, lined up neatly and came to the square in front of the main hall.
The solemn drumbeats rang out once again in the square, and the onlookers couldn't help but feel a sense of nostalgia for the soldiers they had seen sent off to fight in the Western Turks outside Chang'an. Their hearts clenched, and their faces became much more serious.
Li San Niang stepped onto the high platform again, and Chen Yanfu, Wu Er Niang, and other female doctors from the maternity ward also stood in the front row below the platform, in front of the young girls who had just enrolled.
As the drumbeats stopped, Li Sanniang raised her right hand, clenched her fist, and held it to her right ear. The women below the platform followed her movement.
This scene surprised everyone. Before anyone could figure out what Li Sanniang and the others had done, Li Sanniang shouted loudly and clearly, "Health is entrusted to us, life is entrusted to us!"
She paused after saying this, and the women below the stage immediately echoed Li San Niang's voice, repeating: "Health is entrusted to us, life is entrusted to us!"
The onlookers were all very surprised. Not to mention Princess Taiping and her entourage, even Li's parents, who were with the other commoners, were quite puzzled.
Zhongli Wenlian, who had been invited, immediately understood Li Sanniang's intention. She excitedly said to Granny Cui beside her, "This... is a vow!"
Granny Cui came to her senses after hearing Zhongli Wenlian's words. After all, words like "health" and "life" are easy for people to understand.
Before they could think it over, Li San Niang's next words came: "When I step into Ping An Women's Medical College, I solemnly swear an oath."
"Ah, this is the physician's oath!"
After hearing Li Sanniang's words, most of the onlookers finally understood that Li Sanniang was leading the women of Ping'an Women's Medical College, the future female doctors, in taking an oath.
Among the crowd were merchants from the Western Regions. Seeing this scene, they couldn't help but recall the oaths taken by those small kingdoms and tribes in the Western Regions before battle.
Two groups of people who have absolutely no connection are now appearing side by side in front of people's eyes.
The pharmaceutical merchants, doctors, and apprentices from the Chang'an Medical Alliance who had come to watch the spectacle were now even more excited, thinking, "This is truly, truly amazing..."
Excited? Tempted?
"I'm excited!"
What Dr. Li said makes perfect sense.
As doctors, when we face patients' illnesses, it's just like soldiers going to war. Before the battle, soldiers swear an oath to defend their country, while we fight for the health of our patients.
That's an absolutely brilliant way to put it!
Regardless of the thoughts or words of the onlookers, Li Sanniang continued to shout in an orderly manner: "I am dedicated to medicine, love the Tang Dynasty, am loyal to the Tang Dynasty, adhere to medical ethics, respect my teachers and abide by the rules, study diligently, persevere, pursue the orthodox tradition, and develop in all aspects."
The students are determined to delve into medicine, dedicate themselves to relieving the suffering of patients, uphold the integrity and honor of medicine, heal the wounded and save lives, and strive for the health of the people of the Tang Dynasty throughout their lives!
Below the platform, Shi Chunmiao didn't fully understand what Li Sanniang was saying, but her little heart felt the solemn atmosphere. A longing arose within her; she wanted to be like Li Sanniang on the platform, a respected female doctor!
Hui Niang, who could read and write, was much better than Shi Chunmiao. She understood what Li San Niang's oath meant, and at that moment, her heart found its direction.
Today's opening ceremony of Ping An Women's Medical College has finally reached its climax with this oath.
Amidst the girls' oaths, some sharp, some soft, and some clear, everyone realized that Li San Niang and these young girls weren't just putting on a show; they genuinely wanted to study hard, acquire knowledge and skills, pursue their own lineage, and strive to become good doctors in the future, achieving the goal of saving lives and healing the sick.
Regardless of whether they can fulfill all the vows they made today in the future, at least at this moment, the light in the eyes of these young girls shows that they are serious!
Hidden in the crowd, Liu Changwen couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "What a remarkable Li Sanniang, truly..."
At this moment, Liu Changwen felt very fortunate. He felt that he was lucky to have found out that Li Sanniang was a member of the Bad People and that he had stopped himself from continuing to collude with Princess Nanping to make things difficult for Li Sanniang after seeing Liu Kang and Liu Jian being tortured.
Based on the opening of the Ping An Women's Medical College today, Li San Niang has already established her firm foothold. Not only has she gained momentum, but her women's medical college will also become a force that various families want to associate with, or even curry favor with.
After all, just listen to their oath—love for the Tang Dynasty, loyalty to the Tang Dynasty—it's practically as if they're saying they're a female medical army under Emperor Wu's command.
You must understand, in this world, besides men, there are only women;
All people were born of women;
The current emperor is still a woman!
Regardless of what the people who came to witness the ceremony thought, the opening ceremony of Ping An Women's Medical College was a complete success.
After Li San Niang gave a grand introduction of Mei Ru Ying to everyone, all the ceremonies for the day were completed.
Finally, after Li San Niang and Mei Ru Ying accompanied Princess Taiping and Princess Qingyang on a tour of the entire Ping'an Women's Medical College, they listened to a few words of encouragement from Princess Taiping and then properly saw them off at the college gate.
Afterwards, she had a good talk with Princess Qingyang inside the house, and personally led Chen Yanfu and the others to help Princess Qingyang get into the carriage.
After finishing these two tasks, Li San Niang went straight to see Zhongli Wenlian, who had been waiting for her in the guest courtyard.
"Lady Zhongli, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
"Please don't say that, Dr. Li. I am already very grateful that Dr. Li was able to take the time to see me."
Li San Niang was counting on this big spender to invest in Ping An Women's Medical College in the future, so how could she really accept Zhong Li Wenlian's polite words?
We can't just throw away the money because we're being polite.
Therefore, as Li San Niang approached, she quickly picked up the teapot on the table, poured a cup of tea for Zhongli Wenlian, and handed it to her, saying, "Thank you for waiting for me, Madam Zhongli. This cup of tea is to express my gratitude for your patience."
Even though Zhongli Wenlian knew in her heart that Li Sanniang was deliberately giving her face, and was only doing so because of the money she had received, she still felt much more at ease.
Taking the tea from Li San Niang, she sipped it, then raised her eyebrows and looked at Li San Niang, who was already sitting down and gulping down tea to quench her thirst: "San Niangzi's prowess has truly been witnessed by us today..."
