Chapter 308: The Desolate Jiangnan Traditional Chinese Medicine Association
"Okay, please tell me the location, Mr. Gao, and I'll go over in a moment."
Qin Haodong was very attentive about matters related to traditional Chinese medicine and agreed immediately.
"That's great, Doctor Qin. I'm afraid you won't come."
Gao Fengwen excitedly told Qin Haodong an address.
Qin Haodong and Lin Momo sent the little guy to the kindergarten together, and then drove in the direction of the address, only to find that it was an abandoned primary school, which looked a bit tattered.
As soon as he parked the car, Gao Fengwen, Zhong Sihai, and Shen Xiangfu greeted him.
"Doctor Qin, you are here!"
The three of them greeted each other warmly.
After responding one by one, Qin Haodong asked, "Elder Gao, does our Chinese Medicine Association work here?"
Gao Fengwen said a little embarrassedly: "I'm sorry Doctor Qin, the office conditions here are a bit poor, but our Jiangnan Traditional Chinese Medicine Association is a non-governmental organization founded by us old guys, without any funds and no office space. Just make do with it here.”
Shen Xiangfu said: "This is still from Lao Gao. He once cured the principal of this primary school, so he temporarily borrowed it as the office of our Chinese Medicine Association, but I heard that this primary school will be auctioned recently, and we can move it in the future. Where to go is not known yet.
During the conversation, a few people surrounded Qin Haodong and walked into the office of the Chinese Medicine Association. This used to be the meeting room of the primary school. Although it looks a bit shabby, the space is still very spacious. Seventy or eighty people have been seated in it.
These people seem to be quite old, and some are even a few years older than Gao Fengwen, with a lot of eyebrows and beards, and they are genuine old Chinese medicine practitioners.
After entering the door, Gao Fengwen said to the crowd: "I'll introduce to you, this is Qin Haodong, a medical sage in the field of Chinese medicine in the south of the Yangtze River. He once cured the head tumor of old Maldini without surgery, but he was defeated just a few days ago. The Japanese people's provocation to our Jiangnan Chinese medicine community has now invented the treasure blood pill that shocked the whole China.
Dr. Qin has made a lot of face for our Chinese traditional Chinese medicine, and let the whole world see the ability of our traditional Chinese medicine. He is the leader of our traditional Chinese medicine field and the pride of our Jiangnan traditional Chinese medicine. Everyone applauds and welcomes! "
After his introduction, the audience immediately burst into applause. Although the old men were quite old, they were still very excited to see Qin Haodong.
"Medical saint, you are the pride of our Chinese medicine..."
"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, so be my son-in-law..."
Qin Haodong was taken aback by these old men. He didn't expect to be so enthusiastic at such a young age. What happened to the old man who called him to be his son-in-law? It looks like she is in her 80s. Your daughter is at least 50, right?
Shen Xiangfu said: "Doctor Qin, we old guys get together on weekdays to talk about the miracles you have created in traditional Chinese medicine. Everyone admires you very much."
Gao Fengwen said, "Doctor Qin, you are a role model for our Chinese medicine community. Do you think you can join our Jiangnan Chinese Medicine Association?"
He smiled all over his face when he spoke, but Qin Haodong always felt weird, like an old fox looking at a chick, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong.
Zhong Sihai also said, "Yes, Dr. Qin, you see that the Chinese Medicine Association are all old men like us. We urgently need a young and promising force like you to join us!"
Shen Xiangfu said to everyone in the audience: "Everyone applaud together, welcome Dr. Qin to join our Chinese Medicine Association!"
The venue immediately burst into applause. Although these people are not too young, they are indeed Chinese medicine practitioners.
Qin Haodong was moved by everyone's enthusiasm and said, "Well, since everyone doesn't dislike my young and inexperienced, then I will join our Chinese Medicine Association."
Gao Fengwen said excitedly: "That's great, Dr. Qin, you are welcome to join our Traditional 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 be appointed to our Traditional Chinese Medicine Association. the chairman."
Shen Xiangfu and Zhong Sihai also said, "We also propose Dr. Qin Haodong to be the president of our Jiangnan Traditional Chinese Medicine Association!"
Only then did Qin Haodong know what the problem was. It turned out that these old guys recruited themselves and recruited themselves in order to make themselves the president of the Chinese Medicine Association.
He hurriedly said: "Elder Gao, everyone, this is not suitable, I just joined the association, how can I be our president!"
"There's nothing inappropriate." Gao Fengwen said with a smile, "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. If you vote more than 50%, you will immediately become the next president."
After finishing speaking, he said to the audience: "Now everyone raises their hands to vote, 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 both hands.
It's no wonder that although Qin Haodong looks younger, his achievements on behalf of traditional Chinese medicine are solid enough to win the respect of these seniors.
"Okay, unanimously approved!" Gao Fengwen turned around and said to Qin Haodong, "President Qin, from now on, the Chinese Medicine Association will be handed over to you, and my old man officially retires."
"This...I..."
Qin Haodong still didn't come back to his senses. He joined the Chinese Medicine Association in a daze, and then became the president in a daze.
"Gao, this is not suitable, it is really not suitable, you are highly respected, this chairperson's seat belongs to you, but don't make it difficult for me!"
The smile on Gao Fengwen's face faded, he sighed, and said, "Doctor Qin, to tell you the truth, old man, I am really ashamed of the title of President of the Chinese Medicine Association.
You know the current situation of traditional Chinese medicine. In order to restore the decline of traditional Chinese medicine, we old men got together and established the Jiangnan Association of Traditional Chinese Medicine, in order to make traditional Chinese medicine have a better development, in order to let the treasure passed down by our ancestors Not to die in our hands.
But it has been nine years. Although we have worked hard, we have achieved little success. Traditional Chinese medicine is still declining, and it is going downhill every day until your appearance shows us hope.
It's not that I'm humble. When people get old, their energy is limited and their minds are old-fashioned. Dr. Qin needs medical skills and abilities, so I think you are the president of the Chinese Medicine Association. Only under your leadership can Chinese medicine be reborn. revitalized hope. "
Speaking of which, Gao Fengwen actually stood up and bowed deeply to Qin Haodong: "Our Gao family has been a doctor for generations, Chinese medicine is the treasure of our entire China, and everyone here doesn't want to see the legacy handed down by our ancestors. It will be destroyed in the hands of our generation, and it will make us embarrassed to see our ancestors when we die.
Dr. Qin, I beg you, for the future of our traditional Chinese medicine, you should take up this hard work! "
After he finished speaking, under the leadership of Zhong Sihai and Shen Xiangfu, the old Chinese medicine practitioners in the room collectively bowed to Qin Haodong and shouted, "Doctor Qin, for the sake of Chinese medicine, you should be the president!"
Looking at these white-haired old people, Qin Haodong's heart is full of emotion. Although traditional Chinese medicine is declining day by day, these people are still working hard! Struggle!
"Seniors, since everyone values it so much, then I will no longer refuse." Qin Haodong said loudly, "I promise you that from today onwards, I will do my best to revitalize traditional Chinese medicine. As long as I am alive, Qin Haodong will contribute to the cause of traditional Chinese medicine. Fight for a day, never regret it! Never back down!"
"Never regret! Never back down!"
The old Chinese medicine practitioners present were all excited by his remarks, and they raised their arms and shouted together!
After the election of the new president, everyone took their seats again. Gao Fengwen said to Qin Haodong, "President, please tell everyone a few words."
"I'm not busy, let me first understand the situation of our Traditional Chinese Medicine Association." Qin Haodong said, "Elder Gao, the purpose of our establishment of the 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 contents. First, we regularly provide free medical consultations for the common people to expand the influence of traditional Chinese medicine. Second, we carry out internal exchanges in the association, and exchange treatment experience with each other on intractable diseases encountered. ."
Qin Haodong nodded and asked, "That's all, nothing else?"
Gao Fengwen said a little embarrassedly: "There is only so much we can do at the moment."
Qin Haodong sighed secretly, it is no wonder that the Chinese Medicine Association has not developed much for so many years, and has not found the direction of development from the root.
It is a good thing to provide free clinics for the common people, but it is still a hundred and eight thousand miles away from revitalizing traditional Chinese medicine by relying on this alone.
Internal communication is far from in place. The Chinese medicine industry is accustomed to treasure itself. It is okay for everyone to exchange experiences with each other.
He asked again, "Elder Gao, how many people are there in our association?"
"A total of 78!"
"How many Chinese medicine practitioners can we have in the entire Jiangnan City?"
Gao Fengwen said: "There are about 300 people who have registered with the Health Bureau and obtained a medical qualification certificate."
"Oh!" Only 78 of the 300 Chinese medicine practitioners joined, Qin Haodong said, "It seems that the coverage of our Chinese medicine association is not enough."
Shen Xiangfu said: "There are really not many people in our Chinese Medicine Association, and there are several 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 disagree with us and choose to refuse to join.
There are five most famous clinics in Jiangnan TCM circles, including Gao Lao's Deshou Hall, Zhong Lao's Huichun Hall, Fu Hailong's Xuanhuju, Liu Bokun's Ji Shi Tang, and My Baicao Hall.
Now there are three heads of the five major clinics, and the other two old guys have got into the eyes of money. "
Speaking of which, Shen Xiangfu looked very angry, calmed down and continued: "There are 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 are unwilling to come to us, there are also some that we do not want. These people are not skilled enough. The purpose of joining the Chinese Medicine Association is to gild themselves, so as to use the signs of the Chinese Medicine Association to fool the people to make money. Motivation Impure, this kind of person we directly shut out. "
After he finished speaking, Qin Haodong basically understood the current situation of the Chinese Medicine Association.
Gao Fengwen looked at Qin Haodong thoughtfully and said, "President Qin, you are young and flexible. What good solutions do you have for the future development of our Chinese Medicine Association?"
