The so-called semi-official aid naturally cannot be labeled with the name of the unit.
The initiator of the assistance is the Ankabin official, but the invitation letter is issued by China Railway Construction Company, which operates in Africa. It is done in the name of helping and treating Chinese employees of China Railway, and it must be conservative in official matters.
Two Chinese, one is the executive vice president of China Railway Construction Company Ankabin, and the other is its secretary.
Before arriving, the two parties had already been in contact.
Of the other three locals, two are members of the Ankabeen Foreign Affairs Committee, and the last one is the director of the planning department of the Ankabene Health Committee and serves as the vice president of the Ankabene National Hospital.
As soon as the vice-dean opened his mouth, his eyes suddenly dropped—
"Professor Zhang, hello comrades, my name is Mo Fei Dallas, and my Chinese name is Mo Zhenxing. Your arrival is an honor for us Ankabin people. We sincerely thank you!!"
The Mandarin accent is not ordinary, and the taste is very similar to that of Lingnan people, like Kong Hongguang, Liu Junyang and other Lingnan people.
Among the crowd, only three people were not surprised.
Zhang Zhongjian, Deputy Director Zeng and Director Wang had obviously already understood the situation and began to introduce members and get to know each other.
Could it be Dallas, an Ankabian.
His grandfather was a local herbal medicine doctor, which is the same as traditional Chinese medicine; and his father was the director of Rolda Hospital, who trained him to study medicine since he was a child. After graduating in 1989, he was sent by Ankabin officials to China for further study, and studied at Beijing Medical University.
Why come to China?
Because the tuition was cheap, Ankabin was in turmoil at that time, and the government could not afford the high cost of studying in the West, so they had no choice but to come to China.
Foreigners’ first impression of China is mystery. When Dallas arrived for the first time, he was full of curiosity about this country.
After enrolling in school, a brother from South Africa who lived in a dormitory where he was also an international student took out a documentary video to help him learn about this country.
What's extremely funny is...
The documentary was shot in the 1970s, almost 20 years ago, and the national situation has already changed dramatically.
The director of this documentary is an Italian. He was invited by the leaders to shoot and was well received. However, he did not want to be blocked by China because the filming was too documentary. It has never been broadcast in China, but in the eyes of foreigners, this is the only documentary.
A channel to understand the mysterious Eastern country.
China in the documentary——
They are backward and poor, but they are also united and forge ahead.
After watching it, Dallas was greatly inspired and filled with enthusiasm. It was as if he had seen his own country. If it could develop like this, it would definitely get stronger. Of course, he was still young at that time and did not have a strong sense of the overall situation. After a little enthusiasm, his attention
The power was distracted by another thing in the documentary.
Traditional Chinese Medicine.
In the 1970s, Western medicine was not developed in China, and Chinese medicine, the national medicine, occupied a dominant position.
The documentary recorded a scene in which a 30-year-old woman who seemed to be an advanced mother at the time was facing delivery, and the filming team followed her into the operating room.
At that time, in order to show that domestic medical technology was not lagging behind, the hospital specially used caesarean section technology.
Then, the real topic came...
In the documentary, the director's voiceover recounted an incident that shocked him, the audience, and Dallas.
During the caesarean section, the pregnant woman did not use any anesthetics. Instead, she used ancient Chinese medicine, acupuncture and analgesic techniques, and the insertion of silver needles to relieve the pain, and the baby was delivered smoothly soon.
During the entire filming process, the camera focused on the pregnant woman's expression many times...
Judging from her expression, her pain is not too strong. You must know that this kind of pain cannot be hidden. The pregnancy pain level is the highest level of ten. Even if the person being photographed is a female soldier invited from the army, it may be unbearable.
.
As for the documentary director helping the country to commit fraud...
Just kidding, after the documentary was edited, it was banned directly, and the director was immediately kicked out of the country. How could it be faked?
For a moment, Dallas was fascinated and stunned!
In Ankabin, although the local herbal medicine is not popular, it is the basis of domestic medical care, and his grandfather is a member of the herbal medicine community. He naturally understands how big an impact it will have if herbal medicine can be developed into traditional Chinese medicine.
Then, something magical happened!
VIP students from abroad actually gave up Western medicine and switched to Traditional Chinese Medicine. They went directly from Peking University to Lingnan College of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
At that time, the study of traditional Chinese medicine was still based on ancient Chinese prescriptions. There was a "comprehension of ancient medical literature". It was difficult to learn Chinese, let alone ancient Chinese. In the final exam after one semester, he only scored more than 30 points even by guessing.
But such is the case, after many years of hard work, Dallas became the first black doctor of traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture.
After completing his studies, he did not return to China. Instead, he traveled to many poor areas in China and trained nearly 3,000 grassroots rural Chinese medicine practitioners for China before returning to the motherland, where he was named "Black King".
Could it be that Dallas' accent was naturally learned in Lingnan? Yes... he can speak Cantonese, and he can speak it like a charm.
If you want to trace the beginning and end of this aid plan, it is certainly inseparable from the efforts of Dallas.
This man is already half Chinese.
After getting on the bus, it was Dallas who personally talked about his history of studying abroad and expressed his appreciation for the power of traditional Chinese medicine.
When he finished speaking, everyone was naturally shocked.
…
The capital, Rolda, is near the sea.
Dinner is a local seafood banquet.
The large lobsters, sea crabs, and abalone are simply delicious. They are all freshly caught that day. Even if the restaurant where you eat is of high quality in the local area, the prices are still high quality and low price.
Ankabin, the diplomatic commissioner, accompanied him, and a comrade from the Chinese Embassy came to have dinner with him.
After they had had enough wine and food, the official personnel left, leaving only the medical staff from both sides.
The translator Zhao invited by NFLS was a bit dumbfounded. With such a "fellow fellow" in Ankabin, his usefulness suddenly became insignificant, including colleagues from the hospital who came with Mo Fei Dallas. Many of them could communicate in Chinese and were full of local indigenous translators.
.
But you've come here, so you can't leave now.
Lao Mo understands domestic customs and is a guest from afar. He didn't want to talk about work too early, but time waits for no one. The medical team is not here to travel, but to assist them.
Lao Mo said: "I know it's inappropriate to talk about work now, but I sincerely hope that the arrival of Professor Zhang and his colleagues can help Ankabin to a certain extent..."
Zhang Zhongjian nodded. After studying in China, Hei Qiuen trained many rural doctors at the grassroots level in China. Now that he has changed positions, the Chinese people cannot disappoint him: "You're welcome, let's get down to business."
According to Lao Mode's plan, the medical team rested for three days before entering work mode.
Now, the capital Rolda is conducting a half-month consultation work, leading a group of local doctors, and then they are divided into groups, with the medical team members as the core, and go to various impoverished areas in Ankabin to provide assistance, relief and training.
Various poverty-stricken areas have already begun to select personnel. When the medical team members arrive in the corresponding areas, they will begin to follow them and learn some of the most basic treatment methods in the shortest possible time.
There was no problem with the plan. After Zhang Zhongjian nodded, everyone agreed.
Finally, I mentioned the grouping, with two people as a group, leading Chinese medicine practitioners from Rolda Hospital to travel to various places.
I thought it was a group action, but when it comes to this, it will inevitably make people panic.
"I heard that the local security situation is not very good. Will there be any problems if I do this?"
This kind of thing must be handled by Director Wang. He is the only administrative staff in the team and must ensure the safety of the team members.
Ankabin had already made arrangements. Lao Mo said: "Except for the northern and eastern border areas, remote villages are actually safer than cities. Even in cities, as long as you don't travel alone at night, there will be no danger. In addition, each group of doctors we
Security action teams will be arranged to follow..."
The vice president of China Railway Construction Company also said: "We have branches all over the country. After the group travels, the location will be arranged at the branch. Even if there is no local branch, there will be road and bridge companies, petroleum, and petrochemical friends.
We are very united in Africa and there is no need to worry too much about security issues."
At this point, the matter was settled.
After dinner, we went to the hotel. The vice president of the China Railway Bureau distributed local phone cards and left numbers for each other to facilitate contact.
After checking in, the group held a small meeting and reiterated the safety regulations before returning to their rooms.
Next, free activities in the hotel, washing up, and contacting the country to report that everything is safe.
Zhou Sheng connected to the hotel wifi and sent a video to his father.
Domestically, it is seven hours ahead of Ancabin. It is 11 o'clock in the local night, which is exactly after 6 o'clock in China. Dad has already gotten up and is preparing to open the business.
I had a video chat with my dad, chatted with my grandpa for a few more words, and inevitably gave him some instructions.
Children are always worried when they are abroad.
After chatting for more than half an hour, the video was hung up. Zhou Yisheng found the contact information of Tang Aiyun sent by Director Jiang on his mobile phone.
"Eleven o'clock, I don't know if it's too late..."
The call was made, but unfortunately, the other party's mobile phone was not in the service area, so there was obviously no signal.
Africa's infrastructure depends entirely on assistance and assistance, and the signal is poor.
Jiang Jiancheng didn't know where exactly Tang Aiyun was. It was said that the person who invited him there was the company. He would follow the company wherever it went, including many countries in Africa... I was really not sure if he would be able to meet him after four months.
On one side.
