When you wake up, it's a new day.
Yu Zhiming thought he would be met with overwhelming criticism online, but to his surprise, most netizens were actively making excuses and pleading for them.
Many netizens said that since the country stipulated that rare animal products such as tiger bones, bear bile, and rhino horns cannot be used as medicine, many traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions have to use alternative medicines, resulting in a significant decrease in the potency and efficacy of the medicine.
What's more, many traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions have been shelved and almost abandoned.
The decline of traditional Chinese medicine, which was once a glorious past, is also closely related to policies such as prohibiting the use of tiger bones in medicine.
The ginseng life-saving pills produced by Gancaotang are powerful and are an indispensable key medicine for Dr. Yu Zhiming to treat advanced cancer.
Netizens have called on the relevant departments to show leniency and stop stifling traditional Chinese medicine, so as not to let patients with advanced cancer lose this last chance of treatment.
Zhou Mo handed the tablet over again and said, "Not only netizens are calling for this, but Traditional Chinese Medicine groups across the country have also been calling for special approval for the Ginseng Supplement Life Pills, hoping that restrictions on the use of wild animals and plants as medicines will be relaxed under certain conditions."
"Zhiming, look at the TV screen again!"
Qingning slid the screen of his mobile phone to cast a video on the high-definition TV screen.
An elderly man with white hair and beard, looking vigorous and energetic, held up his ID card and said to the camera, "My name is Yin Zhicheng. I'm 85 years old this year. I started learning Chinese medicine from my master at the age of six, became an apprentice at the age of 33, and have been practicing Chinese medicine ever since."
"In the past 52 years, I have taught 17 apprentices, but now, there are only four who still practice Chinese medicine like me. Only four."
"Don't close down Gancaotang! Save traditional Chinese medicine!"
Qing Ning clicked on a video of a middle-aged man holding his ID card and said, "To be clear, there are already hundreds of videos of TCM practitioners holding their ID cards and speaking publicly online, and the number is increasing rapidly."
Looking at Qingning's excited words, Yu Zhiming noticed that her eyes, as well as Zhou Mo and Shuisu's eyes, were all red and bloodshot.
"You all stayed up all night?"
Yu Zhiming was moved and said, "There's no need to do this. You heard the leader's phone call last night."
"I'll be fine."
Wang Shuisu roared excitedly: "The leader cares about you because of your great ability and contribution. What we are doing now."
"Brother, we didn't actually contribute much. We just lit a few small flames on the internet."
Qing Ning took over and said, "Zhi Ming, in the past, when it came to the formulation of policies related to Traditional Chinese Medicine, the voices of the Traditional Chinese Medicine community were too small and too weak, which resulted in them becoming the actual losers of various policies."
"Either they explode in silence or perish in silence. It's obvious that they have realized that it's time to speak out for themselves."
Wang Shuisu chuckled and said, "Brother, now it seems that the seizure of the Ginseng Life-Sustaining Pills may very well become a nationwide TCM movement."
"We must make the people of the country, especially the leaders who formulate policies and regulations, aware of the plight and needs of traditional Chinese medicine."
Yu Zhiming chuckled and said, "Looking at it this way, the confiscation of the Ginseng Life-Sustaining Pills might not be such a bad thing."
Qing Ning chuckled and said, "Perhaps in the near future, you will be hailed as a great contributor to the revival of Traditional Chinese Medicine."
Yu Zhiming happily showed off his white teeth.
Zhou Mo also smiled and said, "Doctor Yu is a great contributor to Traditional Chinese Medicine. He truly deserves the title. He first promoted the use of Ginseng Xuming Pills to treat advanced cancer, and then promoted the Three Halls Competition, which sparked a nationwide craze for Traditional Chinese Medicine. He also accelerated research progress in Traditional Chinese Medicine treatments for lupus erythematosus and liver disease."
"What's more, they even brought back the traditional Chinese medicine heritage of a great doctor from the descendants of the island invaders."
"Such achievements are worthy of the title of great contributor to traditional Chinese medicine."
Wang Shuisu also echoed with a smile: "Who else but me can be a great contributor to Traditional Chinese Medicine?"
Yu Zhiming laughed heartily and said, "You all speak so sweetly, your lips are as if covered in honey. I feel so dizzy that I don't know which way is which."
"I'm just a participant in the things you're talking about, and I only take a portion of the credit."
At this time, Yu Zhiming's cell phone rang.
It was a call from Mr. Qin from Beijing.
As soon as he answered the call, Qin Lao's unconcealable joyful voice came out from the phone.
"Zhiming, you know about the online craze, right?"
Yu Zhiming hummed, "I see. We are discussing it now."
Qin Laofa sighed with emotion, "This is the will of the people. I have been practicing Traditional Chinese Medicine for so many years, and I have never seen the Traditional Chinese Medicine community so lively."
After a pause, he suddenly asked, "Zhiming, do you know when National Medical Day is?"
Yu Zhiming was slightly startled and said frankly: "I don't know!"
On the other end of the line, Mr. Qin explained, "March 17th is a holiday established to commemorate the victory against the abolition of traditional medicine and the total rejection of Traditional Chinese Medicine. It expresses the hope that Traditional Chinese Medicine can flourish in China and around the world, benefiting humanity. This holiday has been established for 95 years."
"only……"
Qin Lao sighed and said, "This festival doesn't have much of a popular base. Every year the Chinese Medicine Association occasionally mentions it and organizes an event. Grassroots Chinese medicine practitioners probably don't even know about it."
"Today is a day worth remembering. In addition to those traditional Chinese medicine practitioners who have spoken out, the vast majority of others should also be paying attention to this matter."
Old Qin sighed and said, "The crying child gets the milk. If all TCM practitioners across the country could speak out as actively as they did today and strive for their own interests, perhaps TCM would have a different future."
"Zhi Ming, I still need to contact a few old friends and try to make the noise even louder."
"Perhaps, we can make October 2nd of each year a national platform for traditional Chinese medicine to speak out and carry out activities."
The next moment, Old Qin said, "Let's take advantage of this rare opportunity today and spread the word to find the descendants of that medical tradition..."
As for how Takeda Osamu got his medical heritage, that guy couldn't provide any more clues. He said that in Tianjin at that time, a Chinese medicine practitioner named Zhang...
A little after 9:30 in the morning, the relevant departments finally issued a joint report on the seizure of Gancaotang Ginseng Life-Sustaining Pills.
The level of the joint departments reporting this situation is not low, including the State Council, the Joint Logistics Department of the Military, the Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine, the Binhai Government, the Binhai Drug Administration and other departments.
The notice pointed out that the tiger bones of Gancaotang were provided by the Joint Logistics Department of the Military and came from tigers that died naturally in the wild.
The notice also pointed out that Dr. Yu Zhiming's experimental treatment for advanced cancer requires a powerful drug that can significantly improve the patient's body's tolerance.
Doctor Wang Wu from a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners in Binhai provided a recipe for Ginseng Life-Sustaining Pills, which required more than ten kinds of precious and rare medicinal materials, including wild ginseng that was over fifty years old and tiger bones.
After applications from Dr. Yu Zhiming and others, and after multiple investigations and coordination by the Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine and other parties, it was finally decided to handle the matter on a special basis.
Finally, the Joint Logistics Department provided two previously preserved tiger bones for Dr. Yu and others to make ginseng life-extending pills for experimental treatment research on advanced cancer.
Because this matter went through a special approval channel, the relevant procedures were not complete, and the approval procedures were retained in the hands of Dr. Qin, a master of traditional Chinese medicine in Beijing who had a close working relationship with Dr. Yu.
The cross-provincial seizure by the Hebei Provincial Drug Administration last night was an independent action decided on its own. Due to the lack of communication with all parties, the erroneous law enforcement occurred last night.
The notice finally pointed out that it had noticed the calls made by many traditional Chinese medicine practitioners online.
Relevant departments attach great importance to this and will immediately initiate research on revising the regulations prohibiting the use of tiger bones and other medicinal materials to solve some practical problems that have plagued the development of traditional Chinese medicine...
