Chapter 369: Chapter 369 - Three Major Problems!

After a long while, Li Wenbo who didn’t have any comment on the news about Chinese Medicine and Qi couldn’t help but post a Weibo writing “Just got swept up in” as he saw enormous comments of sarcasm below his Weibo.

Then a number of people started to comment “Congratulations” and reposted his tweet.

Unlike what happened on the Internet, people at the University of Jiangjing Chinese Medicine still behaved as usual. They were not as excited as the netizens.

On the contrary, Fang Qiu’s performance also inspired many students to work harder.

With the success of the paper, this time, students of UJCM really recognized Fang Qiu to be the No. 1 among all students in the school.

Although Fang Qiu had a lot of achievements before, there were still many people who were not convinced of Fang Qiu’s talent.

But this time, everyone was convinced.

Even the teachers and leaders of the school believed that Fang Qiu now represented the capacity of the University of Jiangjing Chinese Medicine.

Not so many people could publish English papers on the core foreign periodical.

Fang Qiu was one of them.

Few people were able to prove the existence of Qi since ancient times.

Fang Qiu managed to do that.

Not only did the foreign doctors and scientists started to study Fang Qiu’s paper, but also the experts of the Chinese Medicine circle at home researched and analyzed it.

When they read the paper, many masters of traditional Chinese Medicine had to admit that they were really impressed by it.

They had no idea that Qi plus acupuncture would have such a strong effect.

Since they were Chinese traditional medicine doctors, they had practiced Qigong when they were young. After reading Fang Qiu’s paper, many people tried to use it and found that it really worked, not only in acupuncture but also in the massage.

It was in the reading room of the library in the school.

“You did a good job this time.”

Xu Miaolin noticed Fang Qiu come to the library, saying with satisfaction, “Now, the whole Chinese medicine community needs to thank you. Do you know that you just solved one out of the three major problems which hinder the development of Chinese medicine?”

Fang Qiu smiled.

After giving Fang Qiu a compliment, Xu Miaolin changed the subject. “But, after the news that you practiced Qigong went viral on the Internet, what you did seemed to take advantage of the situation.”

“Yes.” Fang Qiu smiled and nodded. “In fact, at the beginning of this, I didn’t expect that I would cause a stir when I taught Qi. Later, when I saw that there was no way to stop what had happened and vice-principal Chen Yinsheng was also implicated because of me, I decided to take advantage of the opportunity to solve the problem once for all, which could also help me prove the existence of Qi. By doing this, it could attract more attention and the influence would be maximized.”

“Have you thought about this?” Xu Miaolin asked, “What if the ‘Medicine and Humans’ or any other foreign periodical didn’t use your paper?”

“Yes, so I’ve got a plan B.” Fang Qiu nodded. “It’s an age of self-media now. Live streaming online was boosting these days. If the foreign periodical doesn’t use my paper, I will do a live broadcast and accept the verification from anyone. In any case, Qi is real, and I’m not afraid to confront anyone.”

“Ha-ha.” Xu Miaolin shook his head with laughter. “You had already planned to cause a sensation of this, hadn’t you?”

“Yes.” Fang Qiu said with a beam, “I want this to go big. It would be best if it could have attracted the attention of the big shots in the capital. However, since ‘Medicine and Humans’ have published my paper, the plans I had prepared before were useless now.”

“But it is kind of sad though.” Speaking of which, Fang Qiu suddenly shook his head and raised his eyebrows. “Traditional Chinese Medicine has a history of thousands of years in Huaxia, but now our Chinese would only accept it when it’s recognized by foreign people. If the ancestors who spent so much time and energy to develop Chinese medicine knew about it, they would probably crawl out of their graves in anger to scold and lecture us.”

“Yeah.” Xu Miaolin nodded his head in agreement and sighed. Then he asked, “Do you know what the other two of the three problems I mentioned earlier are? The problems that hinder the development of traditional Chinese medicine?”

“I don’t know.” Fang Qiu shook his head.

“Meridian and Chinese Medicine!” said Xu Miaolin.

“Chinese medicine?” Fang Qiu was puzzled.

He could understand that meridian was one of the problems because it was impossible to be discovered in the dissection. Although Chinese Medicine doctors have meridian maps, many people didn’t recognize the existence of meridians.

But what about traditional Chinese medicine?

“You heard me right. It’s the Chinese herbs.”

Xu Miaolin explained. “In the future, traditional Chinese medicine will probably be ended by these drugs because the efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine today is much weaker than it was a few hundred years ago. Today, traditional Chinese medicine traders everywhere are eager for instant benefits. They don’t grow the herbs in the right place, weather, or climate condition, which would seriously affect the efficacy of the medicine. Even though the doctors make the right prescriptions, they won’t cure the patients if they take this kind of drug. If things keep going on like this, how can traditional Chinese medicine survive?”

Fang Qiu froze as he heard that.

Well, that was indeed a big problem.

“But how can we deal with such things?” Fang Qiu asked.

“We can’t.” Xu Miaolin exclaimed, shaking his head. “The economy is developing, so is the whole society. This is a world of profit.”

Fang Qiu’s brows knitted.

He just realized that to revitalize traditional Chinese Medicine was not as simple as writing a paper to prove the existence of Qi.

Considering the problems that Xu Miaolin mentioned before, he had to deal with the issues of meridians and Chinese herbs so as to truly revitalize the traditional Chinese Medicine. Neither of these was easy to be solved. Despite meridians, the unscrupulous retailers wouldn’t be willing to sell the good medicine for they only cared about money.

Therefore, revitalizing traditional Chinese medicine was a long and arduous undertaking.

Even so, Fang Qiu would not back down.

Although he didn’t know how many people were struggling for the revitalization of traditional Chinese Medicine like him, as long as he did it, there would be hope.

Of course, Fang Qiu was aware that what he needed to do now was to continue popularizing Qi. As for the rest, he could only do it step by step.

After all, he couldn’t rush something like this.

Hundreds of years had passed as the situation went on like this. Who would care about only a few years or decades?

Seeing Fang Qiu was lost in his thought, Xu Miaolin asked, “By the way, how is your acupuncture practice going?”

Fang Qiu replied and then asked, “I’m almost done. What should I learn next?”

“You’ve learned the method of using the needle. Now you can learn the method of moxibustion. This is relatively simple.” Xu Miaolin said.

“All right.” Fang Qiu nodded.

“Well, Finish your exam before the Young Physician of Huaxia Competition this week and then come back to me.” Xu Miaolin thought for a moment and said.

“Okay.” Fang Qiu replied and got out of the library.

As soon as he reached the entrance of the teaching building, a crowd of people suddenly came up and surrounded Fang Qiu.

“Fang Qiu, please teach us how to practice Qi.”

“I want to sign up for Qigong practice.”

“Teach us Qigong.”

“We also want to practice Qi. Please teach us, Master Fang Qiu.”

A group of people, regardless of what Fang Qiu wanted to go, gathered together and shouted at him.

Seeing that, Fang Qiu smiled wryly and shook his head, saying, “I’m sorry, everyone, but I don’t teach anymore.”

“Huh?”

“How can you not teach?”

“Yes, you’ve already proved the existence of Qi. How can you not teach us?”

“You used to teach it every day. Is it good to hide it now?”

“Yes, Chinese medicine needs to be developed and taught.”

“I don’t care. I won’t let you go until you teach me!”

There was a lot of noise as everyone was talking.

Looking at these excited students, Fang Qiu could not help but give a wry smile.

However, on second thought, he really should teach them.

He still shared the same thought he had before.

How many people could he save even if he was a powerful doctor?

But if everyone was an outstanding Chinese medicine doctor, then together they could save many more people.

There was a huge difference between him and a crowd of people.

Thinking of this, Fang Qiu said to the students, “You can learn from me if you want to, but I need someone to get me a list of people who want to learn. Meanwhile, I need to think about how I’m going to teach you. As for when I will teach you, let’s wait until the list is finished.”

When that came out, the crowd cheered at once.

After showing their gratitude, they all turned around and left to get some paper and pen to sign their names.

Fang Qiu took the opportunity and snuck away.

A bunch of people gathered together and put their names on the list.

“We can’t just do this. Maybe we should promote it and ask other students to join us.” A student asked.

“How about signing up on the forum?” Another student said.

Then they decided to do it.

The post for singing up for Fang Qiu’s class appeared on the forum of campus net very quickly.

As soon as they saw that Fang Qiu was going to teach Qigong in person, the students were excited and immediately signed up.

As it turned out, the number of people signing up the class was growing drastically.

In a very short period of time, this post became the most popular post on the forum.

More than 10,000 students signed up to learn Qigong in the school where there were tens of thousands of students.

This number made all those who wanted to learn Qigong excited.

At this moment, Fang Qiu and Jiang Miaoyu were walking in the street of food.

“It’s so rare for us to have dinner alone. Why don’t we celebrate it?” Holding Fang Qiu’s hand, Jiang Miaoyu asked.

“Celebrate?” Fang Qiu was stunned.

“We can celebrate that we both made it to the finals of the Young Physician of Huaxia Competition, and that you finally cleared your name and everyone agreed with you, and that your paper was finally published.” Jiang Miaoyu said.

“So many good things have happened lately? How do you want to celebrate?” Fang Qiu said with a smile.

“Come with me.”

Jiang Miaoyu pretended to be mysterious and held Fang Qiu’s hand to run into a small restaurant in the street.

“As your girlfriend, I decided to celebrate by cooking for you.” Entering the restaurant, Jiang Miaoyu pushed Fang Qiu down to a table and sat down, then said to him, “Just wait here. I won’t let you wait too long.”

She then immediately ran into the kitchen of the restaurant.

Happiness came so suddenly that Fang Qiu didn’t even realize it.

He followed her to the kitchen and had a look.

Jiang Miaoyu actually cooked by herself. She asked the people to let her use the kitchen for a while, cooking green pepper with scrambled eggs.

Fang Qiu was moved as he saw that.

He thought he couldn’t disappoint Jiang Miaoyu, so he slipped out and sat down at the table and waited.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

In a few minutes, Jiang Miaoyu came out.
