Zhou Shengsheng is quite familiar with the South. He has traveled back and forth seven or eight times since he was a child. He followed his father or grandfather to visit Uncle Zhang's house.
It is a city like a forest. The woods on Shennan Avenue are lush and green. Even if you take a double-decker bus, you can't see the traffic on the opposite lane. People who don't know think that you are riding a sightseeing bus and walking in the garden...
At ten o'clock in the morning, we landed in the south.
Business class went first. As soon as we stepped out of the cabin door, we were hit by a wave of moisture, carrying the unique salty smell of a seaside city. The airport is right on the seaside. The last time I came, the airport was at the end of the city, but now I can see that there are many more.
High-rise buildings extend toward the west.
This is a real big city.
The only bad thing is that I can't see the familiar light yellow sky. There seems to be something missing in the air, which makes me feel uncomfortable.
"How to arrange it?" Uncle Zhang asked Tong Han as he got on the minibus shuttle bus.
Tong Han's family is in the south. According to the plan, he will go directly to Hong Kong City now. Zhang Zhongjian has no plans to go home. His granddaughter is studying in England. His son and daughter-in-law are in the medical equipment industry. They fly all over the country and they don't know where they are now.
Unfortunately, Uncle Zhang's wife also died early. She had bilateral tumors removed from breast cancer. She suffered countless crimes, but no results were seen. Cancer is always the natural enemy of mankind.
Tong Han said: "I'm going home. I've been to Qinzhong for half a month. To avoid worrying about my dad, the teacher and Zhou Zhou should leave first. I'll go directly to Hong Kong City to meet the group in the afternoon."
Zhang Zhongjian nodded: "Don't waste time, come here early."
After parting at the airport gate, Tong Han took the subway and left directly. Zhou Yisheng followed Uncle Zhang to meet the shuttle bus arranged by the company at the gate and went directly to the port city, not intending to stop in the south.
"I won't take you around this time. Let's go through the border and go to Hong Kong City first. You haven't been there, have you? When we meet the group, we can see whether you come with me to visit old friends or go shopping with Kong Hongguang and the others."
We don’t have enough time, so it doesn’t make much sense whether we go shopping or not.
All flights to Ancabin are concentrated in the early morning, which means that in fifteen hours, the group will take a flight to Africa and arrive at the destination after more than ten hours.
"I'll follow Grandpa. I'll go shopping if I have the chance in the future."
"Okay, we'll see when the time comes. I'm afraid you'll be bored if you follow me. It's just a few old guys drinking tea and chatting, but there are a few seniors I can let you get to know..."
Li Shan, one of the top 100 Chinese medical doctors, was the same generation as his ancestors Wang Anzhi and Zhang Mengru.
When it comes to qualifications, he is the founding vice president of Friendship Hospital and a representative figure of traditional Chinese medicine in front-line hospitals.
Senior Li's luck is much better than that of his ancestors, Zhang Mengru. He is now more than ninety years old. After his retirement, he settled in Hong Kong City, spread his business, and trained many disciples. He even asked questions.
He stopped working until he was eighty-six years old and enjoyed his old age.
Of course, Zhang Zhongjian was a junior and could not be called old friends with Li Shan, but several of Li Shan's disciples often communicated with each other and had a good relationship.
One person is a member of the Hong Kong City Traditional Chinese Medicine Management Board, one is a joint professor of the Baptist University and the School of Medicine of the University of Hong Kong, and the other person has no title. He is an old Chinese medicine practitioner who runs his own clinic, but he is not a disciple of Li Shan. Traditional Chinese medicine has been passed down from his ancestors to this day.
.
Zhang Zhongjian’s old friends are all top figures in the industry. Zhou Yisheng is looking forward to meeting these big figures.
The unit's shuttle bus has a Z plate and goes directly across the sea to Hong Kong, saving a lot of trouble.
Departing from the airport, we encountered a slight traffic jam and it took us two hours to arrive at the port city. Because Zhou Sheng was following Zhang Zhongjian, Zhang Zhongjian simply called the group to meet up later and let everyone move freely.
The streets of Hong Kong City are very lively. Whether it is the newly developed high-rise buildings or the old old city, they are all busy with traffic and overcrowded.
The car arrived at Sham Shui Po, the real old town, the earliest industrial and commercial center in the port city. Because it was so old, it was less than planned, and the city appearance was extremely poor. The surrounding houses were all private houses, with a few people living in one bedroom and one living room.
People are very common, and the signs in the streets are messy and disorderly.
In the eyes of local people, this is an absolute slum.
But unfortunately, this is a scenic spot often visited by foreign tourists, and it has the most flavor of the old port city.
The car finally stopped at the entrance of a 'Huangmingshan Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic'. It had a rusty iron frame sign and no neon lights that decorated the surrounding shops. There was even no decoration inside the store. The style was still the same as in the 1960s. The glass door of the clinic was hung
It has the word "out of business" on it, so there are no patients inside.
"Let's go, get off the car. If you want to call someone when we meet later, just call me uncle."
People in the south are very concerned about age. A sixty-year-old person is called Uncle uncle rather than Grandpa or Grandpa. The latter two are more like the titles of one's own children and nephews. They are just titles and most people don't care.
Zhou Sheng nodded solemnly, got off the car and followed Zhang Zhongjian to the Chinese medicine clinic to call the door.
The old-fashioned electric bell rang, and after a sizzling sound, a call in Cantonese came from the door: "Look at your illness and wait for the day to come. You have a rest today."
Zhang Zhongjian and Zhou Sheng looked at each other, as if saying that I don't know Cantonese, so they could only ring the doorbell again.
At this time, footsteps were heard, and the door was opened from inside. As soon as the two parties met, an old lady about the same age as Zhang Zhongjian appeared. She was immediately surprised: "Ah, Zhang is here... Ah, I thought you would be late."
Some arrived.”
The first half of the sentence was still in Cantonese, but the second half was immediately switched to Hong Kong Mandarin, and the accent was even more exaggerated than Boss Chen.
"It's my fault that I didn't agree on the time. Don't bother me, right?"
"Don't bother me. They have been here for a while. This is..." The old lady looked at Zhou Sheng.
Zhou Sheng was a little confused. Uncle Zhang asked people to call him "Uncle", but even if the old lady in front of him changed her gender and called her "Auntie", it would not be appropriate. She was obviously from the grandmother generation.
There was no other way, so Zhou Yisheng bravely shouted: "Hello, grandma, I am Zhou Yisheng."
Zhang Zhongjian added: "My senior brother's grandson is also considered my grandson."
The old lady's eyes immediately lit up, and she joked with a bit of familiarity: "I haven't heard anyone call me 'grandma' for a long time. My sister's children call me grandma when they meet me. Her family is in Hebei."
With that said, the old lady took Zhou Sheng's hand and led him to the door, kindly and kindly.
Later, Zhou Sheng found out that this was Huang Mingshan's wife. Her ancestral home was Xiguan, Lingnan. She came from a wealthy family. She was also the eldest daughter of Huang Mingshan's master. During the special period, they settled in Hong Kong City at a very young age. She also had a younger sister who married away and went to Hebei.
.
The size of the clinic is a bit small, but in a place like Hong Kong City where land is at a premium, a two-story building like this can be considered a wealthy person.
The three of them did not stop on the first floor, but went directly to the second floor. As soon as they went up the stairs, they smelled the aroma of tea.
Walking into the living room, the three old men were talking animatedly, as if they had not seen the arrival of Zhang Zhongjian and Zhou Shengsheng at all.
Huang Mingshan's wife was a little troubled and explained to the two of them: "Recently, the Department of Health is going to issue new regulations, and Uncle Qian wants to get people to protest, but Professor Jiang doesn't support it. We have been arguing for several days, so don't be surprised..."
When Zhang Zhongjian heard this, he frowned slightly: "Is the new regulation really coming out?"
"It has been submitted to the parliament. It will be reviewed in the next two days..."
The two of them exchanged words, and the atmosphere suddenly became gloomy. Zhou Sheng was confused, so Grandpa Zhang pulled him to sit next to him, waiting for them to finish arguing.
Fortunately, after staying with Su Quan for a long time, Zhou Yisheng could still understand some Cantonese. After about half an hour, he figured out the reason——
The conflict between Western and Chinese medicine in Hong Kong is related to the battle between Chinese and Western medicine. The battle has almost reached a fever pitch!!
