Chapter 1280 Graduation Ceremony (Part 2)
"Director Chen is absolutely right."
After Chen Yang finished speaking, Kang Xingchao picked up the microphone again.
"Just now, Director Chen not only talked about the journey, but also gave everyone a realistic perspective on the current state of modern medicine and traditional Chinese medicine. I hope that you students can remember what Director Chen said."
After summarizing, Kang Xingchao said again, "Next, let's invite Elder Xiao Jingyun to share his thoughts on leading the team along the way."
Xiao Jingyun stood up, walked to the center, and faced all the students and teachers.
This once proud and arrogant old doctor now has a much calmer demeanor.
Everyone knows that Xiao Jingyun is an old traditional Chinese medicine doctor who previously disagreed with some of Chen Yang's ideas, but now he has become Chen Yang's comrade-in-arms.
"I have many feelings about this journey."
Xiao Jingyun said slowly, "Every era has its own characteristics. No matter what field it is, whether it is literature or medicine, it will carry the characteristics of the times. We must accept and adapt to them."
“Every generation has its own ideas, and we should respect and understand them. We can’t always impose our own thinking on others. We need to be inclusive and discover new perspectives.”
"I have studied medicine for decades and practiced medicine for fifty years. I always felt that I had made great contributions, but I overlooked the changes of the times and the fact that new talents emerge in every generation."
Xiao Jingyun spoke slowly, recounting his experience leading the Northern Team, and specifically mentioning the outstanding performance of young people such as Li Haofei and Xun Jiahong in handling difficult cases.
“I used to think that young people lacked experience and needed more training.”
Xiao Jingyun said sincerely, "But these three months have taught me a profound lesson. They have broad ideas, dare to innovate, and more importantly—they have fire in their hearts and light in their eyes."
“At a county-level hospital in Heilongjiang Province, we encountered a patient with severe heart failure and renal failure, and the local doctors were at a loss. Li Haofei proposed the idea of ‘tonifying qi and warming yang, promoting blood circulation and diuresis’ and boldly adjusted the proportion of medication. Three days later, the patient’s urine output increased and the edema subsided. At that moment, I saw the future of traditional Chinese medicine.”
"This era is not only about Chen Yang, but also about many other outstanding talents, and even more so about the students here today."
Xiao Jingyun paused, then said in a heartfelt tone, "As you all embark on your medical careers, I hope you will study traditional Chinese medicine with your hearts, just like Chen Yang, and truly love and understand it. Only when we understand and love it ourselves can we better serve our patients."
After Xiao Jingyun finished speaking, the audience burst into applause.
Xiao Jingyun spoke very frankly, and everyone could feel how he felt this time.
Both Chen Yang and Xiao Jingyun made the students feel the gains they made this time.
After the two mentors spoke, the student representative gave a speech.
Zhuang Qiwen was elected as the representative and stepped onto the podium.
This doctor, who once practiced medicine quietly in the village, now stands on the stage of a national conference without the slightest stage fright.
"First of all, I would like to thank Director Chen, Mr. Xiao, Yu Shiyun, and everyone I met this time."
Zhuang Qiwen slowly said, "As everyone knows, I initially practiced medicine in a rural town. My education level wasn't high, and my experience was limited. However, in the process of practicing medicine, I always encountered all kinds of patients. I tried my best to solve the problems I could, and for those I couldn't, I would read books and study..."
"Since I met Director Chen, many people have said that I have a high talent for medicine and that my level of expertise is very high, but I really didn't know much about him before."
Zhuang Qiwen spoke calmly, recounting entirely his own experiences, from practicing medicine in the village to participating in competitions and then to his journey of traveling across the country for medical consultations.
“When I practice medicine in the village, I often feel lonely and helpless. When I encounter difficult cases, I can only look them up in books and figure them out by myself, and there is no one to discuss them with. Participating in the competition made me realize that there are so many outstanding peers; this mobile clinic has allowed me to see the full picture of traditional Chinese medicine.”
"My deepest realization is that traditional Chinese medicine is not a battle fought by one person, but a cause for a group of people. We need to communicate, cooperate, and break down barriers. Whether we come from academia or from the community, whether we are good at classical formulas or modern formulas, our goal is the same: to cure diseases and help people."
"Director Chen told me that the reason I have reached my current level is because of my passion, my responsibility to patients, and my love for traditional Chinese medicine. This trip with Director Chen has broadened my horizons and given me many insights."
"Traditional Chinese medicine actually has many advantages and conveniences. We have easy access to many medical records from famous doctors and classic Chinese medicine texts. The answers to many diseases are right in front of us. As long as we are attentive, we can find the answer and the treatment for every disease..."
Chen Yang nodded repeatedly as he listened.
Zhuang Qiwen was speaking about his own feelings, which are indeed true.
Zhuang Qiwen's academic qualifications are not high, but he was able to enter the system's list of famous doctors at this age. This is because Zhuang Qiwen has a passionate heart and a sense of responsibility towards his patients.
Most people are inherently lazy; after completing their work, they will slack off or rest whenever possible, and doctors are no exception.
Many people who have achieved success in their industry or field have actually paid a lot of price.
For example, some people enrich themselves in their spare time in order to have a better job.
Take literature for example. Some people write for fun, while others learn as they write. The same applies to studying medicine.
When Zhuang Qiwen encounters patients he knows how to treat, he treats them with care. When he encounters patients he cannot solve, he writes down their symptoms and then looks for answers. When he doesn't have patients, he reads books and reviews medical records.
For ten years, he worked tirelessly day in and day out. Over the course of twenty years, Zhuang Qiwen unknowingly developed into a renowned doctor.
Following Zhuang Qiwen, Yu Shiyun, as one of the student representatives, also spoke.
Yu Shiyun recounted her learning experience at her family's clinic, her gains from studying the "Wenbing School" in Jiangnan, and how she combined these theories with clinical practice.
“I used to think that traditional Chinese medicine theory was profound and difficult to understand, and I often hesitated when using it in clinical practice.”
Yu Shiyun's voice was soft but firm: "After seeing how our predecessors from various places flexibly applied theory to solve practical problems, I understand now—theory is dead, but people are alive. The key is to understand the essence and apply it flexibly."
Yu Shiyun's growth actually has many similarities with Zhuang Qiwen's, the biggest one being their shared love for each other.
Many things can only be done wholeheartedly and with joy because we like them.
Take reading medical records and classic texts as an example. People who don't like them will feel dizzy just looking at them and want to fall asleep after flipping through a couple of pages, while people who like them can read them with great interest.
Wen Xiuping, Chu Yiyun, and others in the audience nodded frequently, while Minister Shen listened attentively, occasionally taking notes in his notebook.
