The sunshine was just right in early spring, and Meng Xiaodong, who was seven months pregnant, was walking in the garden with the support of her maid.
Zhou Hexuan sat on the bench at the door and asked: "How is the progress?"
Zhu Xiang said: "The recruitment work went very smoothly, and 24 people were initially selected..."
"I'm talking about the case of embezzling education funds." Zhou Hexuan smiled bitterly.
"Fu Shuangquan refused to admit corruption, but ordinary employees below have confessed, and the Tianjin District Court decided to open a trial in early April," Zhu Xiang said.
Ordinary employees are not greedy enough and can only share some scraps of money, so they will naturally plead guilty happily. If they actively return the stolen money, they may not have to go to jail. On the contrary, the main criminals will grit their teeth and refuse to let go.
Zhu Xiang was not only a hot-blooded and angry young man, but also a ruthless person. He actually spent four months quietly collecting some important evidence that Fu Shuangquan and others could not deny at all.
Zhou Hexuan didn't want to talk about this matter anymore, so he asked with a smile: "I heard that your wife is about to give birth?"
"It's almost full term." When Zhu Xiang said this, a smile finally appeared on his face.
Zhou Hexuan said: "When the child is born, I will be the godfather."
"Hahaha, no problem." Zhu Xiang laughed endlessly.
In fact, Zhu Xiang did not love his wife because it was an arranged marriage.
Romantic poets have a longing for love in their hearts, and they always feel that arranged marriages ruin their happiness in life.
Zhu Xiang was miserable in history, but his wife Liu Nijun never left her. Even when Zhu Xiang was at his lowest, she worked as a female worker in a cotton mill to support the family, which gradually moved Zhu Xiang.
Later, Zhu Xiang studied in the United States and wrote 106 love letters to his wife in two years, which is equivalent to one letter a week, which shows that the relationship between the two is still good.
Unfortunately, due to the setbacks in his life and career, Zhu Xiang suffered from mental problems and his personality became increasingly manic. In the end, he became paranoid all day long and showed signs of persecution paranoia. He even suspected that his wife was cheating on him and often committed domestic violence against her.
Liu Nijun couldn't bear it anymore and took the initiative to file for divorce, which shattered Zhu Xiang's last hope of survival and committed suicide by diving into the water with two collections of poems in hand.
Judging from the current situation, Zhu Xiang's spirit is relatively normal. Although he is indifferent to his wife, he has slowly accepted it.
I hope the tragedy will not happen again.
Zhu Xiang suddenly said: "Mingcheng, I want to study in the United States."
"What about your wife and children?" Zhou Hexuan really didn't expect that Zhu Xiang would study abroad again just like in history.
Zhu Xiang said: "Let's wait another half year. By then the child will be almost half a year old and the foundation will be on track. I will go to the United States after everything has been arranged."
Zhou Hexuan asked: "Do you need help?"
"No, I applied for the Geng Grant subsidy, and with the help of friends, I don't need money to study abroad for the time being," Zhu Xiang said, "It's just that Nijun and the child need to be taken care of without brother Mingcheng."
Zhou Hexuan smiled and said: "I already said I'm going to be a godfather, can I just ignore it?"
Zhu Xiang cupped his fists and said, "Thank you very much."
Alas, whether it is Li Shoumin, Zhu Xiang, or Shen Congwen, they are all young people with pursuits and ambitions.
Just leave, Zhou Hexuan never thought of tying them to the newspaper office.
By the way, Li Shoumin, his "The Legend of Shushan Swordsman" is now popular in several provinces in the north, and is even famous in the south. He has also become a target with Shang Xiaoyun, one of the four famous Dandans, and Duan Maolan, Duan Qirui's nephew.
And he was deeply trusted by Fu Zuoyi, and he was very proud of himself.
Duan Maolan recently took office as Tianjin Telephone Director and invited Li Shoumin to be his secretary. Li Shoumin readily agreed. Because Fu Zuoyi had too many secretaries, Li Shoumin had nothing to do all day long, so he could do some practical things at the telephone office.
Li Shoumin is also addicted to officialdom. He dreams of making a difference in the officialdom. But he doesn't like to rely on nepotism to get to the top. He only wants to rely on his own abilities, which is a bit difficult.
When Zhang Zuolin was in great power, Zhou Hexuan went to Zhang Xueliang to intercede, so that he could arrange a good job for Li Shoumin, but Li Shoumin did not bother to do it.
It is a good thing to be proud, but if you have no background, it will be difficult to get along well in the officialdom.
Zhou Hexuan and Zhu Xiang were chatting when suddenly the servant came over and reported: "Sir, Doctor Ding is here."
Zhou Hexuan quickly stood up and walked over to greet him.
I saw an old man about 60 years old with a gray beard, leaning on a cane, followed by an apprentice carrying a medicine box, who had been led in by a servant.
"Mr. Ding has made atonement for his sins. I am sorry to welcome him from afar!" Zhou Hexuan stepped forward and said politely.
The old man stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhou, you don't have to be polite."
This old man's name is Ding Guorui. He is a leader of traditional Chinese medicine in Tianjin and the founder of the Tianjin Medical Research Association. He specializes in internal medicine, gynecology and pediatrics.
In the late Qing Dynasty, when the west wind spread to the east, everything was emphasized "Chinese learning as the body and Western learning as the application", including traditional Chinese medicine.
During the Guangxu period, Ding Guorui called for the introduction of the scientific system of Western medicine, and vigorously promoted the establishment of the Tianjin Medical Research Association. According to the system of Western medicine, he divided Chinese medicine into Internal Medicine, Gynecology, Pediatrics, Pharyngology and Oral Dentistry, and Ophthalmology.
Emergency medicine and other subjects.
Among them, the Jigu Section specializes in sorting out ancient Chinese medicine books, advocating eliminating the unnecessary and preserving the truth. There is also the Seeking New Section, which calls for learning the strengths of Western medicine and the advanced pharmaceutical methods of Western medicine.
Ding Guorui also wrote articles in newspapers such as "Ta Kung Pao" denounced the shortcomings and chaos of traditional Chinese medicine. For example, there is a lack of communication between doctors and medicines in traditional Chinese medicine. For example, traditional Chinese medicine doctors often prescribe medicines indiscriminately. For example, most of the clerks in pharmacies are illiterate. For example, they do not pay attention to popularizing hygiene.
Concepts, etc.
Although Ding Guorui is a master of traditional Chinese medicine, he also has extensive research on western medicine and is a pioneer of "integration of traditional Chinese and western medicine".
Due to his influence and status in the field of traditional Chinese medicine in Tianjin, coupled with his advanced age, he has rarely visited clinics in person in recent years. However, this old man admired Zhou Hexuan's knowledge and conduct, and made an exception to come to Sanletang every month to give medical treatment in person.
Meng Xiaodong goes for a routine checkup.
Zhang Yunhe helped his daughter sit down in the living room and said with a smile, "Doctor Laoding is here."
Ding Guorui first felt Meng Xiaodong's pulse, then took out a Western medicine stethoscope and carefully checked the condition of the fetus. Then he took off the stethoscope and said: "The pulse is stable and the fetal activity is normal. There is no need to worry."
Zhang Yunhe said: "Doctor Ding, Xiaodong is already seven months pregnant. Why don't you prescribe a pair of anti-fetal medicines?"
Ding Guorui waved his hand and said: "It's because the medicine is poisonous. It's better for pregnant women to take less medicine. Don't give pregnant women too many supplements, as long as they have enough nutrition. Western medicine is still very advanced in pregnancy and childbirth. After a while,
You can contact the Western Hospital, and if you have any problems, you can be sent to the hospital directly."
Zhu Xiang hadn't left yet. After hearing this, he whispered beside Zhou Hexuan: "This old Chinese doctor is not pedantic, and he actively recommends Western medicine."
"It would be great if all Chinese medicine practitioners thought so." Zhou Hexuan said with a helpless smile.
Since the Beiyang government, TCM has been prohibited from opening schools, and major universities have also banned the establishment of TCM departments. Four years ago, the TCM community sought to incorporate TCM into schools, but it failed due to strong opposition from the Western medicine community.
Since then, the dispute between Chinese and Western medicine has shifted from an academic debate to an ideological battle. Both sides are hurling insults at each other, not looking at each other's strengths and only focusing on their shortcomings to attack each other crazily.
Today's Western medicine is also very imperfect. The treatment effect of many difficult and complicated diseases is actually not as good as that of traditional Chinese medicine. Therefore, it is a pity that the two sides are evenly matched in the debate. Most progressive people support Western medicine and oppose traditional Chinese medicine, which leads to the decline of traditional Chinese medicine in various aspects.
Suffered suppression.
After Ding Guorui examined Meng Xiaodong, he chatted with Zhou Hexuan about "The Rise of the Great Powers". This old gentleman had advanced ideas and actually had some international perspective. The old man and the young man had a great time chatting.
But the next day, news suddenly came from the south. The Ministry of Health held the first Central Health Commission meeting. Someone proposed the "Abolition of Old Medicine to Remove Obstacles to Medical Hygiene", which is also known as the "Abolition of Traditional Chinese Medicine Case" in history.
.
Except for the Undersecretary of Health and two counselors who abstained from voting, all other members voted in favor of this proposal, which can be said to have been passed unanimously.
The world of traditional Chinese medicine suddenly exploded.
