This is truly eye-opening. A perfectly good political lesson turned into a fight between teachers and students because of a single sentence from the teacher.
The incident began when a boy in the class with low self-esteem was called on by the teacher to answer a question. As everyone knows, many questions in political class involve personal interpretations, and the corresponding correct answers cannot usually be found in the textbook. In such cases, it is essential to express one's own views.
But this boy was too self-conscious and silent in class. When the teacher asked him several times, his answers were hesitant and stammering.
The teacher may have repeatedly emphasized some of the issues, but the boy couldn't give a systematic answer, so he immediately broke down.
"What's wrong with you? I've explained this so many times, how come you still can't remember? What are you doing coming to school every day? Your parents send you here just to see you daydreaming in class? I've been watching you for a long time. Every time I call on someone to answer a question in my class, your eyes dart away. What are you feeling guilty about?"
The boy felt uncomfortable after hearing this: "Teacher, I'm just not good at expressing myself, I'm not guilty."
"Oh, why aren't you stuttering anymore? Still saying it's not because you're guilty? Look at those classmates from earlier, they stood up confidently, they said they knew it or they didn't, at least they expressed themselves clearly. And you, a boy, you're all fussy and hesitant, like a big girl, and you can't even speak properly. Is this how your parents taught you to communicate with people?"
"Teacher, just talk about me, don't mention my parents."
The boy's face turned bright red. He was clearly very nervous, but he still clenched his fists and tried his best to protect his parents.
Unexpectedly, the teacher not only ignored him but also scolded him harshly.
“What did I say about your parents? I didn’t say anything, I just felt that your personality wasn’t right, and you need to try to communicate with people. If you’re always silent and don’t communicate, and don’t develop your expression skills, you won’t get a high score in politics. They say that children are like their parents, so what, don’t they usually communicate with you?”
"Teacher, I've said it before, you can say whatever you want about me, but please don't talk about my parents anymore. It's all my fault, okay? Why are you talking about them? What have they done to you? So what if they don't know how to communicate?"
Clearly, the teacher hadn't realized the seriousness of the situation at this point. After the boy's outburst, the classroom was silent for a moment, until a mocking laugh suddenly rang out.
“Teacher, why are you telling him so much? His father is deaf and mute, and he was arrested and imprisoned a few years ago. His mother is also mute, and his sister is disabled. His family is the poorest in our village; it's already a miracle that he can go to high school…”
Cao Wang's next words were silenced by a sharp glare from Zhou Yuan.
It turns out that Zhou Yuan and Cao Wang are from the same village. I heard that Cao Wang's father is the production team leader, so Zhou Yuan...
All the teacher's words were choked in his mouth at that moment. Faced with Zhou Yuan's resentful eyes, he initially felt some sympathy, but soon frowned.
"No, what kind of look is that? The teacher didn't know your family situation at first, right? Besides, what I said isn't wrong. Even so, you can talk to your classmates more. People need to talk; they can't keep it bottled up, or it will cause problems. Only by expressing yourself and letting it all out can you gradually find your direction for the future..."
Xiao Jiu stared wide-eyed, and to be honest, she understood why her political science grades were so bad—it turned out she had a teacher with slightly questionable values.
While some of his statements are valid, they only matter when applied to the right person; not everyone is suited to listening to his theories.
As for Zhou Yuan, he is clearly a child who is not good at speaking. I'm afraid that when he returns home, he will have to bear the courage and pressure of leading his family to survive. Cao Wang's tone just now further proved that the Zhou family's status in the village is extremely low.
Is it good enough that he got into high school? And he's even in the same class as Cao Wang. He's actually quite unhappy that someone like Zhou Yuan, who's a loser, is in the same class as him.
He didn't want to talk, but they forced him to express himself, and when he couldn't express himself clearly, he was openly mocked.
They even dragged the parents into the discussion and held them accountable, no wonder the child was driven to the point of yelling.
It's often said that honest kids are prone to breakdown and backlash when pushed to a certain point, and that's absolutely true.
Just because Cao Wang whispered a mocking remark to his classmate, Zhou Yuan broke down and rushed forward with a stool to hit him. Fortunately, the teacher was standing nearby and grabbed the stool Zhou Yuan was holding, even pushing Zhou Yuan aside forcefully. Zhou Yuan staggered back and sat down on the ground.
The teacher did it unintentionally, but unexpectedly, Zhou Yuan, who looked quite tall, was not very strong and fell down with a light push.
Little did he know that the child only ate one meal a day and was not even full, so how could he have the strength to confront him?
After falling, Zhou Yuan directed his anger at his teacher.
"It's all your fault! Why did you bring up my family and my parents? I just couldn't answer, and I didn't want to talk, so what? What did my sister do to you? Cao Wang, are you even human? She's disabled and stays at home all the time. Why are you spreading rumors about her? Why?"
Zhou Yuan slowly stood up, still wanting to find Cao Wang, but the teacher hugged him from behind.
"Calm down, Zhou Yuan. This is a school, not a place for you to fight."
Enraged, Zhou Yuan turned around and punched the teacher in the chin, but the punch was weak and didn't hurt. The teacher felt offended and decided to teach the child a lesson, so he punched him back.
When the students saw that a fight had broken out, the taller students in the back all tried to pull Zhou Yuan away. Zhou Yuan looked terrible, like a sickly but angry lion, baring his teeth and swinging his fists and legs. In reality, he was unsteady and weak. But the politics teacher didn't let him go and punched him several more times. Finally, Zhou Yuan ran out of strength and fainted. Only then did everyone realize the seriousness of the situation.
The classroom was in complete chaos. The politics teacher initially thought Zhou Yuan was faking it, but Xiao Jiu couldn't stand it anymore and went over to check his pulse.
"He's weak inside and out, teacher. His pulse is too weak, and he's severely anemic and malnourished. Don't let his height fool you, he's actually so weak he doesn't even want to talk. He fainted because he was too hungry. None of you share a dorm with Zhou Yuan, do you know anything about his condition?"
The men looked at each other, and one of them said...
“He never eats with us, always keeps to himself, and doesn’t really pay attention to us when we talk to him.”
Xiao Jiu sighed as she looked at Zhou Yuan, who was unconscious.
"Let's take him to the school doctor for observation. If he still doesn't wake up after receiving glucose, then we'll have to send him to the hospital."
The politics teacher was so flustered that he didn't even notice that the whole class had been led astray by Xiao Jiu.
Are you sure he's malnourished?
Xiao Jiu didn't even lift her eyelids. "Teacher, Zhou is still lying there. You were the one who knocked him unconscious. Shouldn't you take him to the school doctor? He's too hungry to talk, and that's just his personality. Why does he have to talk? Why does he have to express his opinion to be considered a normal person?"
If she fed him some sugar water right now, it would help a lot, but she couldn't bring it out in front of so many people. So she could only call on a few boys to lift Zhou Yuan up together. They were supposed to carry him on their backs, but they couldn't. Xiao Jiu knew that everyone was also quite hungry.
There was no way around it; the famine had lasted so long that even the most resilient body would develop health problems from hunger.
Although fighting with a teacher is a rather serious offense, the politics teacher was quite decent. He paid for the cafeteria meals out of his own pocket to provide Zhou Yuan with a week's worth of nutritious meals. After learning the main cause of Zhou Yuan's illness, he stopped holding a grudge about the fight. After Zhou Yuan woke up, he promptly apologized to the teacher, so it can be considered a satisfactory resolution.
However, the rumors about Cao Wangkai and Zhou Yuan's sister Huang Yao spread throughout the class. After Zhou Yuan woke up and returned to class, he became even more silent.
Xiao Jiu was usually very low-key in class, but she became famous this time for taking pulses. Afterwards, her classmates realized what had happened and came over to joke with her.
"Come here, let me see what's wrong with me."
"How old are you? You can already take a pulse. Does anyone in your family study medicine?"
Conversely, it means she's pretentious.
How old are you? You've already learned to put on airs. Taking a pulse? Aren't you afraid of killing someone?
Although the school doctor gave Zhou Yuan the same explanation, he didn't believe her and insisted that it was a lucky accident.
It's not entirely unreasonable to blame people for being sarcastic and questioning her; it's mainly because she's young and lacks persuasiveness.
In a few years, traditional Chinese medicine will face a significant impact and decline, which is why Tang Cuimei chose to study clinical medicine.
Tang Cuimei comes from a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners. She studied clinical medicine, but the era she is living in is not suitable for her, so she still decides to study Western medicine. She even suggested that Xiao Jiu study Western medicine in the future, even though she was still confused about the era Xiao Jiu had traveled through.
Actually, she originally planned to study Western medicine in this life so that she could compare and combine Chinese and Western medicine. In her previous life, she was a doctor and had worked in a hospital for several years. Why didn't she show her medical skills at home in this life? It's because she was too young and lacked persuasiveness.
Faced with the ridicule from my classmates, I chose to laugh it off, but my roommates thought she was something special.
Zhou Shengnan leaned closer with a big smile, "Take a look at me quickly, I suffer terribly from menstrual cramps every time I get my period, what should I do to regulate it?"
Xiao Jiu didn't say much, but gave Hongqi a wink, and Hongqi quickly went over and closed the door.
"Well, I've only really learned the basics. I've read a lot of medical books, but I'm just interested in this area. Taking a pulse also requires skill. Sometimes I can detect it, and sometimes I can't. I can't really explain why. Maybe I'll find the answer when I study medicine in the future. Right now... haha, just take this as a joke."
"Menstrual disorders are generally classified into two types according to traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis."
One type is deficiency syndrome, such as deficiency of qi and blood, kidney deficiency, liver deficiency, spleen deficiency, and insufficient heart blood, all of which can lead to menstrual irregularities;
Secondly, there are empirical evidence, such as the invasion of cold air, which directly affects the lower abdomen, obstructing the meridians and causing menstrual irregularities.
Pathological products such as blood stasis and phlegm-dampness can block normal meridians and lead to menstrual irregularities.
High stress, excessive exposure to cold, and emotional instability can easily lead to stagnation of liver qi, resulting in poor blood circulation and thus affecting menstruation.
Therefore, the fundamental pathogenesis of menstrual disorders lies in the liver.
"At the same time, it is also divided into several types: blood deficiency, blood cold, blood heat, blood stasis, excess heat, liver and kidney deficiency, liver stagnation and spleen deficiency, qi stagnation and blood stasis, qi and blood deficiency, and blood deficiency and qi stagnation. I will explain the symptoms corresponding to each type in detail below. If you are menstruating, please find the type that applies to you."
Tao Tao then spoke eloquently, explaining each type very clearly. In the entire dormitory, only Hongqi and Xiaojiu hadn't gotten their periods yet; everyone else had, and each of them had some symptoms to varying degrees. After listening to Xiaojiu's explanation, everyone asked her the same question.
"Then how do you treat it? The most common ailment I hear is 'cold uterus,' or 'weak spleen and stomach, poor blood circulation,'"
Xiao Jiu listened carefully to each person's symptoms and wrote down a prescription for each one.
"You'd better go to the hospital to get checked out, and then take this prescription with you to a doctor to see if it's suitable for your symptoms. If it is, then take it; if it's not, then you should listen to the advice of a professional doctor."
The four people looked at Xiaojiu with amazement as they held the prescription.
"Wow, you're amazing! Such a complicated prescription, even accurate to the gram, how did you remember it? And there are so many Chinese medicine names, do you even know them all?"
Did they just coast through their eighty or ninety years of medical school?
How did you remember it?
It is naturally learned through daily memorization and repeated practice in actual operation.
Do you know them all?
That's pretty close.
When they curiously picked out a medicinal herb from the prescription and asked her what it was...
Xiao Jiu smiled knowingly: "I suggest that when you drink Chinese medicine, don't be curious and ask what each herb is. The prescription has already been prepared for you, so don't take it out and look at each ingredient one by one. I'm afraid the more you know, the less you'll be able to drink it, really!"
At this moment, Pang Weiwei, whose thought process was extraordinary, suddenly said something.
"Is boy's urine really a medicinal ingredient?"
Xiao Jiu confidently gave the best answer.
The medical records of Zhu Zhenheng, a famous physician of the Yuan Dynasty, contain the following: "Urine (children's urine) is very effective in reducing internal heat. I often saw an old woman, over eighty years old, who looked like she was forty. When I asked her why... she was taught to drink human urine. She has been doing this for over forty years, and she is still healthy and has no other illnesses... For those with yin deficiency and internal heat, feeling like they are being burned, and for whom medicine is ineffective, only urine can relieve the symptoms."
There are many similar records in ancient medical cases, such as using children's urine to treat headaches, sore throats, abdominal pain, fever, pulmonary tuberculosis and cough, hemorrhoids, etc. Methods of use include direct consumption, decoction and consumption, decoction with other medicines, consumption as a wine, and taking with other medicines.
There was also an ancient practice of having a child sit on the abdomen and urinate into the navel when someone suffered from acute abdominal pain or heatstroke and fainted.
"I've heard of placenta,"
If the sight of a boy's urine caused the girls' faces to change drastically, then the mention of placenta by Gao Mingxia made them all furrow their brows simultaneously.
Xiao Jiu didn't disappoint her either. "Zi He Che is the human placenta, also known as 'human bao' or 'zi he che' in folk terms. It is made from the placenta that is shed when a human baby is born, after the blood has been drained and the placenta has been dried."
It invigorates qi and nourishes blood; tonifies the kidneys and replenishes essence. It is primarily used for general weakness and emaciation; consumptive cough and wheezing; weakness due to qi deficiency; sallow complexion due to blood deficiency; impotence and seminal emission; infertility and insufficient lactation.
It is used for general weakness and emaciation, night sweats, cough and asthma, poor appetite and shortness of breath, impotence and seminal emission, infertility and insufficient lactation.
The women: "..." So, is there anything she doesn't know?
