Text Chapter 308: The down-and-out Jiangnan Traditional Chinese Medicine Association
"Okay, please tell me the location, Mr. Gao. I'll be there in a moment."
Qin Haodong was very interested in matters related to traditional Chinese medicine and agreed immediately.
"That's great, Dr. Qin, I was afraid you wouldn't come."
Gao Fengwen excitedly told Qin Haodong an address.
Qin Haodong and Lin Momo sent the little kid to the kindergarten, and then drove towards the address. When they arrived, they found that it was an abandoned primary school, which looked a bit shabby.
As soon as he parked the car, Gao Fengwen, Zhong Sihai, and Shen Xiangfu came over to greet him.
"Doctor Qin, you are here!"
The three of them greeted each other warmly.
Qin Haodong responded one by one and asked: "Mr. Gao, does our Traditional Chinese Medicine Association work here?"
Gao Fengwen said with some embarrassment: "I'm sorry, Doctor Qin, the office conditions here are a bit bad, but our Jiangnan Traditional Chinese Medicine Association is completely a non-governmental organization started by us old guys. We don't have any funds or office space. We can only make do here."
Shen Xiangfu said: "Lao Gao found this place. He once cured the illness of the principal of this primary school, so he temporarily rented it as the office of our Chinese Medicine Association. But I heard that this primary school will be auctioned soon. In the future, we We don't know where we can move to yet.
While they were talking, several people gathered around Qin Haodong and walked into the office room of the Chinese Medical Association. This was once a primary school conference room. Although it looked a bit shabby, the space was still very spacious. There were already seventy or eighty people sitting in it.
These people look very young, some are even a few years older than Gao Fengwen. They have long eyebrows and beards. They are genuine old Chinese doctors.
After entering the door, Gao Fengwen said to everyone: "Let me introduce to you, this is Qin Haodong, the medical sage in our Jiangnan traditional Chinese medicine community. He once cured old Martini's head tumor without surgery. He was defeated a few days ago. The Japanese provoked our Jiangnan traditional Chinese medicine community, and now they have invented the Precious Blood Pill that shocked the whole of China.
Dr. Qin has given us Huaxia Traditional Chinese Medicine a lot of face and allowed the whole world to see the ability of our Traditional Chinese Medicine. He is the leader of our Traditional Chinese Medicine community and the pride of our Jiangnan Traditional Chinese Medicine. Everyone applauds and welcomes him!"
After his introduction, there was immediate applause. Although the old men were much older, they were still extremely excited to see Qin Haodong.
"Medical Saint, you are the pride of our Chinese medicine practitioners..."
"Medical Saint, I want to learn from you, I want to worship you as my teacher..."
"Medical Saint, you are my idol. I heard that you are not married yet. Please be my son-in-law..."
Qin Haodong was shocked by these old men. He didn't expect that he would be so enthusiastic at such an age. What about the old man who shouted that he wanted to be his son-in-law? He looks like he is over 80 years old. Your daughter is at least 50, right? ?
Shen Xiangfu said: "Dr. Qin, we old guys often talk about the miracles you have created in traditional Chinese medicine when we get together on weekdays. Everyone admires you very much."
Gao Fengwen said: "Dr. Qin, you are a role model in our traditional Chinese medicine community. Do you think you can join our Jiangnan Traditional Chinese Medicine Association?"
He was smiling when he spoke, but Qin Haodong always felt weird, like an old fox looking at chickens, but he couldn't think of anything wrong.
Zhong Sihai also said: "Yes, Doctor Qin, you see, the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association is made up of old men like us and is in urgent need of young and promising people like you to join!"
Shen Xiangfu said to everyone in the audience: "Let's all applaud and welcome Dr. Qin to join our Chinese Medicine Association!"
The venue suddenly burst into applause. Although these people are quite young, they are worthy of being students of Chinese medicine. Their bodies are in excellent condition. Their applause is no less than that of young people. The applause is like thunder and lasts for a long time!
Qin Haodong was quite touched by everyone's enthusiasm and said: "Well, since everyone doesn't dislike my youth and low qualifications, then I will join our Chinese Medicine Association."
Gao Fengwen said excitedly: "That's great, Dr. Qin, welcome to join our Chinese Medicine Association."
Next, he asked Qin Haodong to sit on the rostrum with the three of them, and then said to the audience: "Today is the triennial general election of our Jiangnan Traditional Chinese Medicine Association. I propose that Dr. Qin Haodong and Qin be the new president of our Traditional Chinese Medicine Association." President of."
Shen Xiangfu and Zhong Sihai also said: "We also propose Dr. Qin Haodongqin to be the president of our Jiangnan Province Traditional Chinese Medicine Association!"
Only then did Qin Haodong realize what the problem was. It turned out that these old guys had found him and roped him in to make him the president of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association.
He quickly said: "Mr. Gao, everyone, this is inappropriate. I have just joined the association, how can I be our president!"
"There is nothing inappropriate." Gao Fengwen said with a smile, with a look of success, "According to the regulations of our Jiangnan Traditional Chinese Medicine Association, the next president is nominated by the previous president. As long as he is a member of our association, everyone can If you vote more than 50%, you will immediately become the next president."
After finishing speaking, he said to the audience: "Now everyone will vote with a show of hands. Please raise your hands if you agree that Dr. Qin will be the president of our Jiangnan Traditional Chinese Medicine Association."
As soon as he finished speaking, all the old men in the audience raised their hands in agreement, and some even raised two hands.
It's no wonder that although Qin Haodong looks younger, his achievements on behalf of traditional Chinese medicine are solid and enough to win the respect of these seniors.
"Okay, unanimous vote passed!" Gao Fengwen turned around and said to Qin Haodong, "President Qin, from now on, the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association will be handed over to you. I, the old man, have officially resigned."
"This...I..."
Qin Haodong is still a little bit confused about how he joined the Association of Traditional Chinese Medicine in a daze, and then became the president of the Association in a daze.
"Brother Gao, this is inappropriate. It's really inappropriate. You are highly respected and the position of president belongs to you. Please don't make things difficult for me!"
The smile on Gao Fengwen's face faded, he sighed, and said: "Dr. Qin, to tell you the truth, old man, I am really unworthy of the title of President of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association.
You also know the current situation of traditional Chinese medicine. In order to reverse the decline of traditional Chinese medicine, we old men got together and established the Jiangnan Traditional Chinese Medicine Association. The purpose was to allow traditional Chinese medicine to develop better and to preserve the treasures passed down from our ancestors. Don't perish in our hands.
But nine years have passed. Although we have worked hard, we have achieved little results. Traditional Chinese medicine is still in decline, going downhill every day, until your appearance gave us hope.
It's not that I'm being modest. People have limited energy and old-fashioned minds when they get older. Dr. Qin needs medical skills and abilities, so I feel that the position of president of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association belongs to you. Only under your leadership can traditional Chinese medicine have a new era. Hope for revitalization.”
At this point, Gao Fengwen actually stood up and bowed deeply to Qin Haodong: "Our Gao family has been doctors for generations, and Chinese medicine is the treasure of our entire China. Everyone here does not want to see the legacy passed down by our ancestors. If it is destroyed in the hands of our generation, we will not have the shame to see our ancestors after we die.
Doctor Qin, I beg you, for the future of our Chinese medicine, please accept this hard job!"
After he finished speaking, under the leadership of Zhong Sihai and Shen Xiangfu, the room full of old Chinese medicine practitioners collectively bowed to Qin Haodong and shouted: "Dr. Qin, for the sake of Chinese medicine, you become the president of this association!" Looking at these white-haired people, Qin Haodong's heart was moved by the old people. Although traditional Chinese medicine is declining day by day, there are still these people working hard after all! Fighting!
"Seniors, since you value it so much, I will no longer refuse." Qin Haodong said loudly, "I promise you that from today on, I will do my best to revitalize traditional Chinese medicine. As long as I, Qin Haodong, live one day, I will contribute to the cause of traditional Chinese medicine. Fight for a day and never regret! Never back down!"
"Never regret! Never back down!"
The old Chinese medicine practitioners present were all ignited with passion by his words, and they raised their arms and shouted together!
After the new president was elected, everyone sat down again. Gao Fengwen said to Qin Haodong: "President, please say a few words for everyone."
"I'm not busy. Let me first find out about the situation of our Traditional Chinese Medicine Association." Qin Haodong said, "Mr. Gao, the purpose of establishing Jiangnan Traditional Chinese Medicine Association is to develop traditional Chinese medicine. What does the association usually do around this goal?"
Gao Fengwen said: "Our Traditional Chinese Medicine Association mainly carries out two tasks. First, we provide free clinics for the people on a regular basis to expand the influence of traditional Chinese medicine. Second, we carry out internal exchanges within the association to exchange treatment experiences on difficult and complicated diseases. .”
Qin Haodong nodded and asked: "That's it, nothing else?"
Gao Fengwen said with a hint of embarrassment: "We currently only have so much to do."
Qin Haodong sighed secretly, no wonder the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association has not developed much in so many years and has not found a development direction from the root.
It is a good thing to provide free clinics for the people, but there is still a long way to go before we can revitalize traditional Chinese medicine through this alone.
Internal communication is far from adequate. The traditional Chinese medicine industry is accustomed to keeping its secrets to itself. It's okay for everyone to exchange experiences with each other, but I'm afraid no one is willing to come up with their own special skills. Eventually, some special skills and secret recipes are slowly lost.
He asked again: "Mr. Gao, how many people are there in our association?"
"78 people in total!"
"How many Chinese medicine practitioners can we have in Jiangnan City?"
Gao Fengwen said: "There are about 300 people who have registered with the Health Bureau and obtained medical qualification certificates."
"Oh!" Qin Haodong said, with only 78 of the 300 Chinese medicine practitioners joining, "It seems that the coverage of our Chinese Medicine Association is not enough."
Shen Xiangfu said: "There are indeed not many people in our Traditional Chinese Medicine Association, and there are several main reasons for this.
On the one hand, because the purpose of our association is to develop Chinese medicine, we often go out for free clinics, which is unprofitable. This makes some Chinese medicine practitioners who only want to make money strongly disagree with us and choose to refuse to join.
The five most famous clinics in the field of traditional Chinese medicine in Jiangnan include Gao Lao's Deshou Hall, Zhong Lao's Huichun Hall, Fu Hailong's Xuanhuju, Liu Baikun's Jishi Hall, and my Baicao Hall.
Now there are three heads of the five major clinics, and the other two old guys are obsessed with money. I have never thought about how they can make money if Chinese medicine really fails."
Shen Xiangfu seemed very angry when he said this. After calming down, he continued: "There are still some people who are used to fighting on their own and don't want to join an organization like ours.
In addition to those who don't want to come to us, there are also some people we don't want. These people are not good enough. The purpose of joining the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association is to gild themselves so that they can use the name of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association to deceive people and make money. Their motivations are Impure, we simply reject such people."
After he finished speaking, Qin Haodong basically understood the current situation of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association.
Gao Fengwen looked at Qin Haodong who was thoughtful and said: "President Qin, you are young and have a flexible mind. What good ideas can you bring to the future development of our Traditional Chinese Medicine Association?"
