Chapter 970 I’m Here to Propose Marriage
"Sir..." Amanda looked shocked: "Are you still a doctor?"
The other people had similar expressions to Amanda's. The person who just knocked down a cow was actually a doctor?
Xiao Peng grabbed a handful of sand from the ground and rubbed the grease off his hands before saying, "Well, I've been learning Chinese medicine from my grandfather since I was a child—it's our country's traditional medicine. However, many countries don't recognize our medicine. I originally came to France wanting to become a Chinese medicine practitioner, but I didn't pass the exam."
Renault happened to be washing Jinsha's eyes with a bottle of mineral water. He ran to Xiao Peng and said, "Sir, I have some water here. Wash your hands."
Xiao Peng smiled and said, "Do you think I'm unhygienic? Special cases require special treatment. Don't assume all doctors in the world have mysophobia. Maybe it's because I'm not a regular doctor, so I don't really have mysophobia. And remember: even doctors with mysophobia won't dislike their patients—at least most won't."
Melanie's eyes sparkled. "Sir, you misunderstood us. We just think you're amazing! It was so cool when you saw that injured old man and knelt down to treat him without hesitation! We just wanted to do something for you."
Perrin also said, "Yeah, you're about the same age as us, but everything you do makes me admire you. I'm not jealous of you anymore!"
Are we about the same age? I'm a few years older than you guys, okay?
Well, most people can't tell the age of Asian people. Some Asian women in their fifties in Paris who are streetwalkers have so many clients because of this...
But I still don’t explain. Of course, being considered young is a good thing!
"Jealous?" Xiao Peng was stunned. He looked at Amanda, who shook her head. Then he looked at Melanie, who also shook her head. Xiao Peng looked at Renault and suddenly realized. It wasn't like there weren't couples among them, it was just that this couple was Renault and Perrin. It wasn't like he knew who was the '1' and who was the '0'... Could Melanie and Amanda also be a couple?
France lacks everything except homosexuality.
Ugh! What are you thinking about?
The old man held the Huoluo Oil Xiao Peng gave him in both hands with a look of shock on his face. Xiao Peng asked him to sit down and rest, but he stood there and moved lightly: "This is simply a miracle drug!"
Xiao Peng covered his face with his hands: "How can it be so amazing! Aren't you exaggerating too much?"
I have to sigh that the physical fitness of these people living in harsh living environments is really great! Just like what is the biggest difference between the Chinese people today and the ancient Chinese people? That is physical fitness!
Some time ago, attacks against Chinese Americans broke out in the US, sparking protests by the Chinese community. Xiao Peng was initially furious when he learned about it. He was ready to use his influence to express his stance, but then he saw a sign held by a Chinese man in the protest on the news, and he was furious beyond belief: the sign clearly read, "We are weak, don't bully us."
Are these the same descendants of the Chinese people who braved the Sixteen-Nation Alliance on the Korean Peninsula? A real-life version of the saying, "Oranges grow south of the Yangtze River, while tangerines grow north of the Yangtze River"?
Of course, Xiao Peng didn't laugh at them, and there was nothing to say about the young people in China now.
There's something wrong with Chinese aesthetics right now. Men are proud of being thin and consider being effeminate to be beautiful. How strong can a man be when he grows up with such an aesthetic? If they really went abroad, I'd probably hold up such slogans.
The man in uniform walked up to Xiao Peng and said a little embarrassedly, "Sir, our people asked me to ask if you have any such miracle drugs? I know these drugs are very valuable. We can exchange them! We don't need more, ten bottles will be enough!"
The man in the uniform is called "Mohand," the same name as their religious prophet. Muslim countries are incredibly uninspired with their naming; at least three out of ten men have this name, while the rest are names like "Abdullah," "Abdul," and "Hashim." It's pretty much the same in Europe and America, with names like Jack, Tom, and Martin.
Xiao Peng laughed after hearing this. He suddenly felt very grateful to Ambassador Chen. Ambassador Chen understood Africa and knew what Xiao Peng needed here.
Despite the current backlash against Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) in China, and even in Europe and the United States, where traditional Chinese medicine, Tibetan medicine, and Mongolian medicine are essentially labeled "witch doctors," TCM is flourishing in Africa. In many countries, remedies like safflower oil and Liushen pills are considered "miracle cures," and this is true even in Mauritanian cities. But this is still a rural area...
Traditional Chinese Medicine is also suitable for Africa: After all, many places here are very poor. You ask them to buy such precious herbs? It is definitely not as suitable as Chinese herbal medicine!
In fact, traditional Chinese medicine has indeed saved millions of lives in Africa.
Malaria is rampant in Africa, so everyone who comes here must get a malaria vaccine first.
Although Western medicine dismisses Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and considers the use of plants to treat illnesses unscientific, early Western medicine also relied on plants to treat malaria—using quinine, an extract from the bark of the cinchona tree. However, quinine is too expensive and has significant side effects. Furthermore, because it is the only effective treatment for malaria, drug resistance has developed. Currently, tens of millions of Africans suffer from malaria each year, and countless more die from it.
Even after Ms. Tu Youyou found artemisinin through her research in traditional Chinese medicine, saving hundreds of thousands of lives in Africa and winning the Nobel Prize in Medicine, many anti-TCM people continued to criticize it, saying that Tu Youyou's discovery had nothing to do with it.
Why do they do this? Many of the driving forces behind this are actually Western pharmaceutical companies.
Even though Tu Youyou won the Nobel Prize in Medicine and saved so many African lives, African people still think that this medicine was invented by Europeans and Americans and produced by Indians.
When artemisinin was discovered, the Chinese had no concept of patent protection and were unfamiliar with international intellectual property rules. This allowed Western pharmaceutical companies to exploit this loophole and apply for patents for a large number of improved and related technologies. When China sought international registration, the US, using international regulations, blocked its path. It wasn't until 2007 that Chinese artemisinin received WHO certification. By then, the market had already been completely divided up by Western pharmaceutical companies.
This is infuriating but also unavoidable: the fact is that those who lag behind will be beaten and bullied.
Mohand is the highest-ranking officer here. When he saw Xiao Peng take out a bunch of activating oil and cooling oil to repel mosquitoes from the car as gifts, he was so happy that he insisted on inviting Xiao Peng to his office.
He is the chief executive here.
So Xiao Peng came to Mohande's tent without any surprise.
The 'Tent Country' lives up to its name!
Mohande served Xiao Peng three cups of tea as he understood, then got straight to the point: "Sir, are you married? I'm here to propose marriage!"
"puff!"
