Lou Zhiping was aggressive. Although what he said was a cliché attacking traditional Chinese medicine, it was the most difficult thing to answer.
After all, the theory advocated by traditional Chinese medicine, whether it was Yin and Yang, meridians, meridians, or Qi, could not be put in front of people, so it was difficult to be directly persuasive.
In order to make today's event more influential, Lou Zhiping found many media reporters, who had surrounded the entire debate platform. The momentum was no less than that of the World Medical Association yesterday.
At this time, everyone's eyes were focused on Qin Haodong's face, looking forward to his answer.
Qin Haodong looked at Lou Zhiping with a smile and asked calmly, "Mr. Lou, I heard that you are a well-known scholar and have great achievements in scientific research?"
"Of course, I have always advocated science."
Lou Zhiping raised his chin with a smug look on his face.
Qin Haodong said, "Then I have a question. What is the temperature of the sun? What is the distance from the earth? "
Lou Zhiping was a professor and had always regarded himself as a scientist. He immediately answered, "The surface temperature of the sun is 5,500 degrees Celsius, and the center temperature is about 20 million degrees Celsius. The distance between the sun and the earth is 149.6 million kilometers."
After he finished speaking, he felt a burst of pride. Not everyone could clearly remember these data in their minds.
Qin Haodong smiled and asked, "Professor Lou, did you measure these data? Or did you see it with your own eyes? "
"Uh …"
Lou Zhiping almost choked to death by his own saliva. "What nonsense are you talking about? These scientific data were speculated by scientists! "
If he had been asked to measure the temperature of the sun, would he still be alive now?
"Speculated? You said that traditional Chinese medicine is unscientific without seeing it. Why don't you believe these speculations? "
"I …"
Lou Zhiping was speechless. He licked his dry lips and said, "Mr. Qin, these things are too far away from us. They can't prove anything."
"Too far away. Then let me ask you another question. Have you seen your great-grandfather?"
"No!"
Qin Haodong said, "Then you haven't even seen him. Should you question his existence? According to your theory, only what you see is true and scientific. "
"I …"
Only then did Lou Zhiping realize that Qin Haodong was much more difficult to deal with than he had imagined. He looked cheerful, but every step he took was a trap.
"Qin Haodong, you're just quibbling!"
"Am I quibbling or are you speaking against your conscience?"
Qin Haodong said, "So what people haven't seen doesn't mean it doesn't exist. For example, we ordinary people have never seen things like genetic codes and viruses. Do you think they don't exist?
TCM has existed in China for 5,000 years and has made immortal contributions to the survival and reproduction of the Chinese nation. It is a treasure left to us by our ancestors, and no one is allowed to question it! "
His debate just now seemed a little tricky and absurd, but the effect was the most direct, the most powerful, and the easiest to accept.
As soon as he finished speaking, thunderous applause immediately rang out in the hall!
Lou Zhiping had debated many times. Although Qin Haodong had taken the lead, he did not panic. After the applause subsided, he said, "I often hear that you Chinese medicine doctors use thousands of years of inheritance as a bargaining chip to prove the illusory thing of traditional Chinese medicine. In fact, it is still unknown whether traditional Chinese medicine has made any contribution to the human race.
"In the era of complete belief in TCM, the average life expectancy of our Huaxia people was only 30 or 40 years old. Since Western medicine came to Huaxia, the average life expectancy has reached 70 years. From this point of view, how much contribution do you think TCM has made?
"I even think that the short life expectancy of Huaxia people is inseparable from the use of unscientific things like TCM."
The audience sitting under the stage were all students of the School of Chinese Medicine. When they heard Lou Zhiping distorting the truth and discrediting TCM, they immediately became excited and wanted to rush to the stage to debate with this guy.
Qin Haodong still looked calm. He was not irritated by Lou Zhiping's words, nor was he disturbed by his nonsense. He continued to speak with confidence and assurance, "Mr. Luo, according to your theory, when we believed in TCM, the life expectancy of Huaxia people was short, while the life expectancy of Europeans and Americans who have always believed in Western medicine should be longer.
"But this is not the case. At the same time in history, the average life expectancy of Europeans and Americans was shorter than that of Huaxia people. This really shows the value of TCM."
"Well … Mr. Qin is right. The role of TCM in Huaxia cannot be erased …"
"Mr. Qin, that's great. I support you …"
As soon as Qin Haodong paused, there was another warm applause from the audience.
After a while, he said, "Nowadays, people's life expectancy is extended, which is caused by many factors. In ancient times, the average life expectancy of Huaxia people was short, and the main reason was that they died of hunger, war and other factors.
"Since ancient times, when it comes to medical skills, TCM has never been inferior. This can be fully proved by historical data.
"In the process of human development, nearly 100 million people in Europe died of the Black Death, but Huaxia was unscathed. Nearly 75 million people died of the Spanish flu, but Huaxia was fine. 25 million people died of the Justinian plague in the West, but Huaxia was still unaffected.
"None of the top 10 major infectious diseases in the world has ever broken out in Huaxia. What do you think we rely on? Is it luck? Of course not. It's our amazing TCM.
TCM has protected the reproduction of Huaxia people for thousands of years. Now you're questioning it as pseudoscience. Don't you feel ashamed? "
When Qin Haodong finished his speech, there was another burst of cheers and shouts. His words ignited the passion and recognition of TCM among the students.
Although Lou Zhiping looked calm, there was a hint of panic in his eyes. The young man in front of him was not like the old TCM doctors he had dealt with before.
Although those old TCM doctors were very skilled, they had been working in medicine all their lives. Their minds were not very flexible, and they were not good at talking.
Just a few months ago, he had a debate with a well-known old TCM doctor. At that time, he only used a few words to provoke the old TCM doctor's anger and make him completely lose his mind. He used the recognition of certain leaders and certain honors to prove the scientific nature of TCM. In the end, he made a fool of himself and became really angry.
Qin Haodong was not only young, but also quick-witted and sharp-tongued. His little tricks didn't work at all. Since the beginning of the debate, Qin Haodong had firmly gained the upper hand.
No matter what, he had to win today's debate. Taking a deep breath and suppressing his panic, Zhiping continued, "Doctor Qin, I have to say that you're very eloquent and good at stirring up people's emotions. But the truth is the truth. You can't change it with a few beautiful words."
He reached into his pocket and took out a newspaper. "Doctor Qin, I don't know if you read the news three days ago. A TCM doctor caused the death of a five-year-old child because of careless medication. I don't know what else you can say in the face of this fact."
After he said this, there was a silence. This news had been really hot recently, and many people had stood up to criticize TCM because of this matter.
Everyone's eyes focused on Qin Haodong's face again. They didn't know how the witty Mr. Qin would answer.
Qin Haodong said, "Mr. Lou, you don't have to read the newspaper. I've also read about this medical accident on the Internet."
Lou Zhiping slapped the table and shouted with great momentum, "A TCM doctor killed a five-year-old child. It's a crime. What else do you have to say?
This is enough to prove that TCM is a trick. It can't cure diseases at all. On the contrary, it's a trick to harm people! "
Qin Haodong said, "The official hasn't given the final result of this medical accident. There's no clear statement on whether the death was caused by other causes or by TCM. Please don't make a final conclusion.
"Putting this medical accident aside, I want to ask you, Mr. Lou, have you done any research on the number of deaths caused by TCM medical accidents? What's the ratio? How many deaths caused by Western medicine? What's the ratio? "
"Well … I don't know."
Lou Zhiping didn't answer. In fact, he had done such research. He originally wanted to use it as an important weight to attack TCM. However, after the results came out, he found that TCM had far fewer deaths than Western medicine.
"Mr. Lou, you are a well-known scholar. Do you not know this data or do you dare not take it out?" Qin Haodong sneered and said, "In reality, the number and ratio of deaths caused by Western medicine are far higher than those caused by TCM.
"To be specific, how many people die every year because of penicillin allergy? "How many people die because of wrong diagnosis? "How many people die because of improper surgery?
"When Western medicine kills people, why don't you say that it's witchcraft? It's unscientific."
"I …"
Lou Zhiping was speechless again. Using cases as a material attack was also one of his common means, but it failed again in front of this young man.
Qin Haodong turned his head and said to the reporters and students around him, "Whether it's Western medicine or TCM, it's inevitable that there are cases of failure. But once there is a case of failure, the results are completely different.
"The death caused by Western medicine is a normal case of failure. It's inevitable. It won't affect its science, nor will it affect its status in reality. No one will stand up and curse.
"But once there is a medical accident in TCM, many people will jump up and curse. They will say that TCM is witchcraft, a fraud, and unscientific."
This time, there was no applause. On the contrary, they fell into silence. The atmosphere became extremely heavy. His words made everyone think deeply.
That was indeed the case. Many people subconsciously thought that it was inevitable for Western medicine to have medical accidents, and it was even reasonable.
But when this happened to TCM, the whole society lost its tolerance. There was a lot of criticism. What on earth caused this to happen?
Lou Zhiping cried again, "Qin Haodong, I admit that you're very good at quibbling, but these things you said are illusory.
The Yin and Yang and meridians mentioned in TCM can't be seen, and what you said is still invisible. All you can do is use these imaginary things to deceive the public. It's not scientific at all, and it can't stand the test of time. "
Qin Haodong knew that this guy was a dog raised by the West. He was paid to do things and had no so-called scientific spirit at all. Qin Haodong lost interest in continuing to argue with him. He sneered and said, "Do you mean that the invisible things are not scientific?"
Lou Zhiping cried almost hysterically, "Of course, TCM is illusory. It's made up by you people to deceive people. It's the most unscientific example!"
