"Alright, please tell me the location, Elder Gao. I'll be there in a moment."
Qin Haodong was very concerned about traditional Chinese medicine, so he immediately agreed.
"That's great, Doctor Qin. I was afraid that you wouldn't come."
Gao Fengwen excitedly told Qin Haodong an address.
Qin Haodong and Lin Momo sent the little fellow to the kindergarten and then drove in the direction of the address. When they arrived, they found that it was an abandoned primary school that looked a little shabby.
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 warmly greeted each other.
Qin Haodong responded to them one by one and asked, "Mr. Gao, is our Chinese Medicine Practitioner Association working here?"
Gao Fengwen said awkwardly, "I'm sorry, Doctor Qin. The office conditions here are a bit bad, but our Jiangnan Traditional Chinese Medicine Association is a non-governmental organization set up by us old guys. We don't have any funds or office space, so we can only make do here."
Shen Xiangfu said, "It was Old Gao who found this place. He once cured the illness of the principal of this primary school, so he temporarily borrowed it as the office of our Chinese Medicine Practitioner Association. But I heard that this primary school will be auctioned soon. I don't know where we can move in the future.
While talking, several people crowded around Qin Haodong and walked into the office room of the Chinese Medicine Practitioner Association. It used to be a primary school conference room. Although it looked a little shabby, it was still very spacious. There were already 70 or 80 people sitting in it.
These people didn't look young. Some of them were even a few years older than Gao Fengwen. Their eyebrows and beards showed that they were real old Chinese medicine practitioners.
After entering the door, Gao Fengwen said to the crowd, "Let me introduce you to Qin Haodong, the Medical Sage of the Jiangnan Chinese medicine circle. He once cured Old Maldini's head tumor without surgery. A few days ago, he defeated the Nihon people's provocation of the Jiangnan Chinese medicine circle. Now, he invented the Blood Revival Elixir that shocked the whole country.
Doctor Qin has brought honor to our 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 and the pride of our Jiangnan traditional Chinese medicine. Let's applaud and welcome him! "
After his introduction, the audience immediately applauded. Although the old men were old, they were still very excited to see Qin Haodong.
"Medical Sage, you are the pride of Chinese medicine …"
"Medical Sage, I want to learn from you. I want to be your disciple …"
"Medical Sage, you are my idol. I heard that you are not married yet. Be my son-in-law …"
Qin Haodong was startled by these old men. He didn't expect them to be so enthusiastic at such an age. What was going on with the old man who asked him to be his son-in-law? You look over 80 years old. Your daughter should be at least 50 years old, right?
Shen Xiangfu said, "Doctor Qin, we old guys often talk about the miracles you have created in traditional Chinese medicine. Everyone admires you very much."
Gao Fengwen said, "Doctor Qin, you are the role model of our traditional Chinese medicine community. Can you join our Jiangnan Chinese Medicine Association?"
He was smiling when he spoke, but Qin Haodong felt weird, like an old fox looking at a chicken, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong.
Zhong Sihai also said, "Yes, Doctor Qin, the Chinese Medicine Practitioner Association is full of old men like us. We are in urgent need of a young and promising force like you!"
Shen Xiangfu said to the audience, "Let's applaud together and welcome Doctor Qin to our Chinese Medicine Association!"
There was a burst of applause in the venue. Although these people were not young, they were worthy of studying traditional Chinese medicine. They were all in good health, and their applause was no less than that of the young people. The applause was like thunder and lasted for a long time!
Qin Haodong was moved by everyone's enthusiasm. He said, "Well, since you don't mind my young age and lack of experience, I will join our Chinese Medicine Association."
Gao Fengwen said excitedly, "That's great, Doctor Qin. Welcome to 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 election of our Jiangnan Chinese Medicine Association. I propose that Doctor Qin be the president of our Chinese Medicine Association."
Shen Xiangfu and Zhong Sihai also said, "We also propose that Doctor Qin be the president of our Jiangnan Chinese Medicine Association!"
Only then did Qin Haodong know what the problem was. It turned out that these old guys invited him and invited him to join them in order to make him the president of the Chinese Medicine Association.
He quickly said, "Mr. Gao, everyone, this is not appropriate. I just joined the association. How can I be our president?"
"There's nothing inappropriate about it." Gao Fengwen said with a smile, "According to the rules of our Jiangnan Chinese Medicine Association, the next president will be nominated by the previous president, as long as you are a member of our association. If everyone votes more than 50%, you will immediately become the next president."
Then, he said to the audience, "Now, let's vote. Those who agree that Doctor Qin will be the president of our Jiangnan Chinese Medicine Association, please raise your hand."
As soon as he finished speaking, all the old men under the stage raised their hands and some even raised both hands.
It was no wonder. Although Qin Haodong looked a little young, his achievements on behalf of traditional Chinese medicine were solid enough to win the respect of these seniors.
"Well, it's a unanimous decision!" Gao Fengwen turned to Qin Haodong and said, "President Qin, from now on, the Chinese Medicine Association will be handed over to you. I'm officially retiring."
"This … I …"
Qin Haodong was still in a daze. How did he join the Chinese Medicine Practitioner Association and become the president of the association in a daze?
"Mr. Gao, this is not appropriate. It's really not appropriate. You are highly respected. The position of president must be yours. Don't make it difficult for me!"
Gao Fengwen stopped smiling and sighed. "Doctor Qin, to tell you the truth, I'm really ashamed of the title of president of the Chinese Medicine Association.
"You know the current situation of traditional Chinese medicine. In order to save the decline of traditional Chinese medicine, we old men gathered together to establish the Jiangnan Chinese Medicine Association in order to make traditional Chinese medicine have a better development, so that the treasure handed down by our ancestors will not disappear in our hands.
"But nine years have passed. Although we have worked hard, we have achieved little. Traditional Chinese medicine is still going downhill every day until you showed up and gave us hope.
"It's not that I'm modest, but old people have limited energy and are old-fashioned. Doctor Qin, you have medical skills and ability, so I think the position of president of the Chinese Medicine Association must be yours. Only under your leadership can traditional Chinese medicine have the hope of revitalizing."
Speaking of this, Gao Fengwen stood up and bowed deeply to Qin Haodong. "Our Gao family has been practicing medicine for generations. Chinese medicine is the treasure of the whole Huaxia. Everyone here doesn't want to see the foundation handed down by our ancestors be destroyed in the hands of our generation. We won't be able to face our ancestors after we die.
"Doctor Qin, I beg you, for the future of traditional Chinese medicine, please take this hard job!"
After he finished speaking, under the leadership of Zhong Sihai and Shen Xiangfu, all the old Chinese medicine practitioners in the room bowed to Qin Haodong and shouted, "Doctor Qin, for the sake of traditional Chinese medicine, please be the president!"
Looking at these white-haired old men, Qin Haodong's heart was full of emotion. Although traditional Chinese medicine was declining, after all, there were still people working hard! They were fighting!
"Seniors, since you all value me so much, then I won't refuse anymore." 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, am alive, I will fight for the cause of traditional Chinese medicine. I will never regret it! I will never flinch! "
"I will never regret it! I will never flinch! "
The old Chinese medicine practitioners present were ignited by his words, so 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 us."
"I'm not in a hurry. Let me know the situation of our Chinese Medicine Association first." Qin Haodong said, "Mr. Gao, the purpose of setting up the Jiangnan Chinese Medicine Association is to develop traditional Chinese medicine. What has the association done around this goal?"
Gao Fengwen said, "Our Chinese Medicine Association mainly carries out two things. First, we regularly provide free medical treatment to the people and expand the influence of traditional Chinese medicine. Second, we carry out internal communication in the association to exchange treatment experience with each other for difficult and complicated diseases. "
Qin Haodong nodded and asked, "That's all. Nothing else?"
Gao Fengwen said with a little embarrassment, "That's all we can do at the moment."
Qin Haodong sighed secretly. No wonder the Chinese Medicine Association hadn't developed much for so many years. They hadn't found the direction of development from the root.
It was a good thing to provide free medical treatment to the people, but it was still far from revitalizing traditional Chinese medicine by relying on this alone.
The internal communication was far from perfect. People in the traditional Chinese medicine industry were used to keeping their own secrets. It was okay for them to exchange experience with each other, but no one was willing to take out their own unique skills. In the end, some unique skills and secret recipes were slowly lost.
He asked again, "Mr. Gao, how many people are there in our association?"
"78 in total!"
"How many traditional Chinese medicine practitioners are there in Jiangnan City?"
Gao Fengwen said, "About 300 people have registered with the Sanitary Bureau and obtained the Physician's Qualification Certificate."
"Oh!" Only 78 out of 300 traditional Chinese medicine practitioners had joined. Qin Haodong said, "It seems that the coverage of our Chinese Medicine Association is not enough."
Shen Xiangfu said, "There are not many people in our Chinese Medicine Association. There are several main reasons for this.
On the one hand, the purpose of our association is to develop traditional Chinese medicine. We often go out for free medical treatment, which is unprofitable. This makes some traditional Chinese medicine practitioners who only want to make money very disapprove of us and choose to refuse to join.
There are five famous clinics in the field of traditional Chinese medicine in Jiangnan, including Mr. Gao's Deshou Hall, Mr. Zhong's Huichun Hall, Fu Hailong's Xuanhu Hall, Liu Baikun's Jishi Hall, and my Baicao Hall.
Now three of the leaders of the five clinics have come, and the other two old guys are greedy for money. They have never thought about how to make money if traditional Chinese medicine really collapses. "
Speaking of this, Shen Xiangfu looked very angry. After calming down, he continued, "There are also some people who are used to fighting on their own and don't want to join our organization.
"In addition to those who don't want to join us, there are also some people we don't want. These people are not good enough. The purpose of joining the Chinese Medicine Association is to gild themselves, so that they can use the name of the Chinese Medicine Association to deceive people to make money. Their motives are not pure. We directly refuse such people."
After he finished speaking, Qin Haodong basically knew the current situation of the Chinese Medicine Association.
Gao Fengwen looked at Qin Haodong, who was thoughtful, and said, "President Qin, you are young and have a flexible mind. Do you have any good ideas for the future development of our Chinese Medicine Association?"
