There are more than a dozen medals in the box. It can be seen that the owner takes good care of them. Each one is well maintained and wiped very clean.
Xu Nanxing looked at the medals and asked, "Uncle Liu, are these the medals you won on the battlefield?"
Grandpa Liu sighed, "Yes! The Japanese invaders wreaked havoc in Northeast China for over a decade, killing many people. They often raided the village to plunder food, leaving many people starving. I was the only one left in my family who had lost their lives, and I was determined to go to the battlefield and kill those Japanese invaders. Later, I joined the guerrillas, killed many of them, and then joined the Eighth Route Army. Finally, we drove them out of our homeland! On the day the Japanese invaders announced their surrender, all of our comrades cried. Many of them had joined the army because their families had been killed by the Japanese invaders!"
Uncle Liu probably hadn't talked about his youth with anyone for a long time, so he talked a lot to her.
It was also the first time that Xu Nanxing saw a war hero who had been to the battlefield, and he listened with great interest.
Uncle Liu followed the army to fight, visited many places, suffered a lot of hardships and sufferings, was injured many times on the battlefield and almost lost his life, and buried his teammates with his own hands.
Such a life is both bumpy and extraordinary.
Perhaps the only thing that can prove the old man’s glorious achievements is the box of medals on the table.
Xu Nanxing placed the things he brought on the table, but Uncle Liu refused to take them. "Little Tiger is strong, chopping some firewood is nothing, it's not worth it to bring something here specially."
"Uncle Liu, I've listened to so many of your stories, so it's only right that you give me some snacks. If you refuse to accept them, I'll be embarrassed to come and listen to your stories again!"
It had been a long time since anyone had listened to his stories, and today someone was willing to listen, so Uncle Liu was very happy. However, when he heard that the other party would not dare to come again, he accepted the things.
"Girl, if you still want to listen to my stories, come and don't bring anything with you!" the old man advised.
After leaving the Liu family, Xu Nanxing recalled the stories told by Uncle Liu.
At that time, the entire Northeast was occupied by the Japanese for more than ten years, and a large amount of resources and wealth were plundered.
Thinking about the two large boxes of gold, silver and jewelry that were dug up in the town before, they were all looted by the Japanese and had not been transported back to Japan in time, so they were buried there.
There should be quite a few boxes like this in Northeast China and even across the country.
Thinking of the Japanese letter, Xu Nanxing decided that he could not just leave it alone.
Whether it is to get rid of the traitorous spies guarding the wealth, or to pull out these traitors to solve the future troubles, Xu Nanxing has to act first.
However, she didn't plan to do it herself for the time being, so as not to expose herself. After all, she didn't know how many traitors were hiding, and it would be troublesome if she was targeted.
It would be better for the relevant departments to step in and resolve the issue.
Don't worry, this matter still needs to be carefully planned.
After returning home, I found that the two little ones had just returned.
Xiaoyu: "Sister Nanxing! Brother Chuwen's place is so fun! I can recognize so many herbs!"
Xu Nanxing asked curiously, "Who is Brother Chu Wen?"
"It's the doctor brother! He said his name was Chen Chuwen, so I called him Brother Chuwen! He has a lot of medicinal herbs, all of which he picked from the mountains himself, and he even taught us how to identify them!"
Xiaotian: "Yes, Sister Xu! I also know a lot of medicines, and I know what they are used for! It turns out that these herbs in the mountains have so many uses!"
The two little guys were very excited and kept chattering to Xu Nanxing about what they had just learned at the clinic.
"I was wondering why you were gone for so long and only came back now. It turns out you went to learn to identify herbs! After you learn to identify herbs, you can cook your own medicine in the future!" Xu Nanxing said jokingly.
After she finished speaking, she felt something in her heart.
Then he said to Xiaotian, "Xiaotian! You've been studying with Dr. Chen for a while. Are you interested in studying medicine?"
Xiaotian thought for a moment, "Doctor Chen, you've really taught us a lot. I find it quite fascinating. It turns out many of the grasses I saw while picking grass for pigs in the mountains are actually medicinal herbs! They can be made into many medicines and can cure many diseases! I find it quite magical!"
Since the beginning of the Cultural Revolution, traditional Chinese medicine has been regarded as the "Four Olds" and has become the target of elimination.
Many people who studied traditional Chinese medicine were suppressed, and traditional Chinese medicine works were burned.
Doctor Chen in the village should be a very good Chinese medicine doctor, but he can only practice medicine in the village as a barefoot doctor.
Traditional Chinese medicine has been controversial since the Republic of China, and many people believe that it is pseudoscience.
But the fact is, the current status of modern Chinese medicine is: originates in China, blooms in Korea, bears fruit in Japan, and is harvested in Europe and the United States.
The fruits of our own civilization have been picked by others.
It also further proves that traditional Chinese medicine is still recognized internationally.
Thinking of this, Xu Nanxing said to Xiaotian, "Xiaotian, do you want to learn Chinese medicine?"
Xiaotian was a little hesitant. Although he was young, he knew that Chinese medicine was included in the "Destroy the Four Olds" campaign. Those young generals said it was feudal dregs and even paraded the old doctors through the streets. It was scary!
"Sister Xu, isn't it forbidden to learn Chinese medicine?"
It is indeed not possible now, but in two years no one will care about these things.
"Well, how should I put it? Traditional Chinese Medicine is a medical civilization that has been passed down in our country for thousands of years. It is our national treasure! We will always get sick if we eat grains, so studying medicine is very necessary. It is true that we are not allowed to study it now, but we can learn it secretly. If you study Traditional Chinese Medicine, you will be able to treat patients and save lives in the future. This is a very meaningful thing! Just think about it, you twisted your arm and it hurt for so long, and Doctor Chen just smoothed it out a few times, and your arm was healed. Isn't it amazing!"
Hearing this, Xiaotian's eyes sparkled.
Today, Dr. Chen cured his arm so easily. It’s really amazing!
How could such a miraculous medical skill be considered “feudal dregs”?
It would be great if I could be that awesome!
Xiaotian nodded: "Sister Xu, I want to learn Chinese medicine! I also want to be as good as Dr. Chen!"
Xiaoyu next to him also interrupted, "Xiaoyu wants to learn too! Xiaoyu wants to be great too!"
This is the right age to start learning Chinese medicine!
Xu Nanxing does think it is better to study traditional Chinese medicine now, as it will take decades for science and technology to catch up with international standards.
If traditional Chinese medicine is developed from now on, it will be able to catch up with Japan and South Korea and gain international recognition sooner.
"Xiaotian, Xiaoyu! If you want to study medicine, don't tell anyone else. Just keep this secret between us! Just tell everyone that you want to be a barefoot doctor, so you want to study medicine. Got it?"
Xiaotian and Xiaoyu: "Got it!"
"Xiaotian, take your sister to ask Dr. Chen if you can study medicine with him!"
