Chapter 433 I decided to help Fu Siping "change his fate"
I checked out the physical therapy room. Although there were several people there, they were all common patients with frozen shoulder, cervical spondylosis, and lumbar disc herniation. They would be fine after a period of physical therapy.
I was mainly looking after Dean Fu. He was lying in bed. I leaned over and asked, "Are you feeling better?"
He said, "I can feel my legs a little bit."
I said, "You're a doctor, too. This little bit of feeling is a huge step forward. Take it slow. I estimate you'll be mostly well before the Lunar New Year."
Fu Siping, who was sitting on the other bed, said, "Mr. Wan, I feel he has made significant progress."
I said, "Let him get the acupuncture treatment for a month first, and then I have other methods to speed up the recovery of his lower limb strength."
Fu Siping said, "I read Dr. Jiang's book 'Theory and Practice of Humanistic Holistic Medicine' in its entirety and showed the video to my uncle. There are indeed patients who were able to stand up after three months, and their condition is similar to my uncle's."
I said, "Yes, faith comes first. It's so late, you should rest."
I returned to my room, it was almost ten o'clock in the evening. I picked up my phone and checked it habitually, and saw a text message from Tan Shaojie:
"Mr. Wan, there are six of us in this photography group. We'll go to Erhai Lake tomorrow to take photos for the whole day. We'll be back early this afternoon to take some photos of you and Mr. Dong.
Dusk is the best time for portraits. The light is diffused, and people's eyes are open. So I decided to shoot one hour before sunset."
I replied, "You're the expert, you decide." Then I sent him my cell phone number.
After browsing the Internet on my phone for a while, I felt a little tired and fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, it was still routine, teaching Siyu acupuncture. After applying the needles to the patient, I said to Siyu and Fu Siping, "Let me feel your technique."
Siyu asked: "Shall we give you the injection?"
"Yes. Puncturing the right acupuncture point is only the first step. The key is the depth of the needle." After saying that, I lay on the bed and let them give each of them an injection.
After the acupuncture, I got up, nodded and said, "It's all good. Siping, you should teach Siyu more..."
After walking a few steps, I suddenly stopped and said to Siping, "Come with me."
When he arrived in my room, I asked him to sit down and asked, "Who gave you this name?"
"My dad got it."
"You were often sick as a child, so you changed your name to this formal name when you were about to start school, right?"
He looked at me as if he didn't know me. His expression showed that he was very surprised...
He said, "How do you know?"
"I guessed. Because very few people have names like that. I've only seen two people with that name. One was a historical figure, and the other was you. Both of them had poor health as children, and their parents hoped their son would grow up to be a stable person."
He said, "Yes, that's exactly what my parents meant. Oh, who is the historical figure?"
"I'll tell you later. What do you think is the key to acupuncture?"
He said, "The key isn't the needling, but the use of acupuncture principles to diagnose the condition. For example, if your diagnosis of my uncle was correct, he's getting better day by day. Before, I had acupuncture every day, but there was no improvement. I just managed to control the condition and prevent it from getting worse."
"Yes, if your uncle gets better, would you be willing to go out into the world with me?"
"With you?"
I nodded.
He was so excited that he was incoherent: "Then... I... can do it... Can I do it?"
"You can do it. Let's add WeChat."
He said excitedly: "I'll sweep you. Mr. Wan, I'm actually a person who wants to make progress."
I nodded. "Because when I mentioned Dr. Jiang, you searched for him, read his books, and watched his videos. This proves that you have a strong curiosity about new things. Curiosity is essential to being a doctor."
Since you just gave me an injection, I can describe you as someone who is smart in both brain and hands. Being smart in brain is easy to understand; it means being smart in the brain. Being smart in hands is more difficult than being smart in brain.
"What you mean by ζζ is that you are very good at everything you do, right?"
"Yes, some people are smarter than others, but if you ask them to practice calligraphy, painting, or playing the piano, they will never be able to master it. But people with smart hands can quickly master it after a little teaching.
That's why calligraphers, painters, pianists, and even top surgeons all have very clever hands. Your hands are more intelligent than most people's. As long as you seriously study the principles of acupuncture, you will have a bright future."
He was very excited and asked, "I heard that you are only here to teach Siyu, so where are you opening a shop?"
"the Philippines."
He opened his mouth and didn't close it for a long time. I knew what he was thinking. He was lucky to be able to leave his uncle's shop, leave the town, and go to a hospital in some county or province. He didn't expect that just by opening my mouth, I would lead him out of the country.
βIs there acupuncture in the Philippines?β
"No, we brought acupuncture there to promote Chinese medicine."
"Like the Confucius School?"
"Yes, you know a lot."
"The Internet is so developed now, I like surfing the Internet."
"Just keep this in mind and don't tell Siyu."
He nodded carefully. He couldn't help but feel a little elated. Suddenly, he remembered something. He scratched his head and thought for a long time before asking, "Oh, by the way, you mentioned a historical figure named Siping. Anyone who leaves a name in history must be a great figure. Who was he?"
I shook my head: "Forget it, this is not important. Teach Siyu more."
He nodded, but felt a little reluctant. Seeing that I had no intention of talking about this anymore, he left.
I sat in my room, thinking, Siyu has a good grasp of acupuncture. But this Fu Siping, he's even more eager to learn. His technique is superior. Without him, he'll spend his whole life practicing acupuncture in the countryside. With him, he could become an excellent acupuncturist.
During lunch, I said to Siyu, "Siping has the basics. I've talked to him and asked him to teach you more. From now on, I'll only come twice a day. If you don't understand something, ask Siping. I'll take time to learn from my master."
Siyu said, "Okay, I think acupuncture is not difficult."
Mr. Dong said, "It's easy to get started. The key is mastery. You have to ask more questions."
Siyu nodded.
I said to Mr. Dong, "Old Tan said he would come to take some portraits of us at around 4 or 5 this afternoon. You should change into a long robe. I think it will give you a more sage-like look."
Siyu said, "Old Tan originally planned to leave today, but he stayed to take pictures for us."
Mr. Dong said, "Okay. We have robes, Tang suits, and Taoist robes. Siyu, go buy me a new hat."
I said, "And buy a walking stick."
Mr. Dong laughed out loud.
After dinner, I went to the physical therapy room as usual. I approached Director Fu and asked him about the situation. I picked up a long needle and gestured, "Siping, push the needle into the Shenshu acupoint a little further."
I walked out of the therapy room and Siping followed me. I stopped and asked, "Any questions?"
He scratched his head sheepishly: "Teacher Wan, I searched for Siping on Baidu, but there's no such person."
I laughed and asked, "I must want to know?"
He nodded seriously.
I said, "Do you know Ximen Qing?"
He looked puzzled, then nodded and said, "I know."
I said, "Ximen Qing's real name was Ximen Siping. He was weak and sickly as a child. He was a serious businessman. Shi Naian's ancestors had a dispute with Ximen Siping's ancestors.
Shi Naian created a character named Ximen Qing, nicknamed Siping. In fact, the real Ximen Qing in history was a good man. So it doesn't matter who you offend, but never offend the author of the novel.
Fu Siping blushed at first when he heard this, but he laughed so hard that he bent over at the waist because of my last sentence.
I stood there and thought I should go buy some clothes, so I called Siyu and told her I wanted to buy some clothes too.
She said, "Okay, I'm...Okay, I'll come."
After she answered the call, she didn't turn off her phone, and I heard the sound of water splashing.
