“The original intention?”
“That’s right! Doctors were supposed to treat the suffering of the world as their duty! But the thing that I’ve been pursuing so hard, I’ve forgotten that it was my original intention at the beginning!”
For a moment, Elder Hua seemed to have understood something, and his entire person emitted an aura of enlightenment!
Seeing Elder Hua’s expression, Qin Yuan knew that his mindset had undergone a transformation and that Elder Hua would continue to embark on a long and promising journey in the field of medicine.
Soon, the car drove into a small courtyard. It was quite a distance from the busy city, and the entire courtyard was filled with an ancient and elegant atmosphere.
“We’re here! Get out of the car!”
After the car stopped, Elder Hua turned his head and said to Qin Yuan and the others.
“It’s all filled with the smell of Chinese medicine!”
As soon as he entered the courtyard, he was greeted by the smell of Chinese medicine. It was also Elder Liao’s first time visiting Elder Hua’s residence. The entire courtyard was covered in all kinds of Chinese medicine!
Elder Hua’s courtyard wasn’t very big. It was a typical Chinese building. The entire courtyard had a hint of simplicity.
“I’m a traditional Chinese medicine doctor, so I grow some Chinese medicine at home! The courtyard isn’t very big. I hope you don’t mind!”
Elder Hua smiled and replied to Elder Liao. He was a simple person and did not like complicated streets, so he bought this courtyard in the suburbs!
“It’s fine, Elder Hua. This is the life I’ve always dreamed of!”
Looking at the place where Elder Hua lived, Qin Yuan yearned for it. This kind of peaceful and simple life was the ideal lifestyle for most people!
“Take a seat first! My home is quite simple, but I hope you can bear with it. I’ll have someone prepare some food for us. We can eat first before I take you to see the medicinal herbs you need,” Elder Hua said.
After entering the living room, Elder Hua invited Qin Yuan and the others to sit down. There was not much furniture in the living room and they were all very simple furnishings! Most of the bookshelves were filled with Chinese medical books!
“Alright! Elder Hua!”
Qin Yuan sat down. Looking at the tattered medical books on the bookshelves, it could be seen that Elder Hua had put a lot of effort into Chinese medicine! “Elder Hua, I wonder if I can take a look at your medical books!”
Elder Liao noticed these medical books the moment he entered the living room. For a moment, he could not control his restless heart! Elder Hua’s medical books were incomparable to the ones he had collected.
“It’s fine. You can read them as you wish. These medical books have accompanied me for most of my life!”
As he spoke, Elder Hua also looked at the medical books on the shelves, his eyes filled with love.
“Thank you! ”
Elder Liao, despite being trained in Western medicine, is deeply fascinated by Chinese medicine. Although he may not possess a natural talent in this field, his passion for Chinese medicine cannot be restrained.
“Isn’t Elder Liao a Western medicine practitioner? Why is he so interested in Chinese medicine?”
After Elder Liao left, Elder Hua asked Qin Yuan curiously because he knew that Elder Liao was an expert in the field of Western medicine. However, from Elder Liao’s behavior, he was extremely obsessed with Chinese medicine.
“That’s right. Elder Liao is a Western doctor and has made great achievements in the field of Western medicine, but deep down, he has fallen in love with Chinese medicine!”
“He said that when he was studying medicine in the past, Chinese medicine was out of options. In the end, he had no choice but to learn Western medicine! Unlike now where there are many Chinese medicine universities and Chinese medicine systems!”
“But…Elder Liao’s talent in Chinese medicine was indeed not very good!”
Hearing Qin Yuan’s words, Elder Hua nodded. At that time, traditional Chinese medicine had indeed declined, and many of its lineages had gradually been severed over the past century.
Therefore, Elder Hua’s face revealed a helpless expression. Chinese medicine, with its thousands of years of history, had been overshadowed and even had its lineage severed by the dominance of Western medicine.
“Yes, if it weren’t for the impact of history, Chinese medicine wouldn’t have declined to this extent. Fortunately, in recent years, the country has provided significant support for Chinese medicine. Otherwise, the ancestral heritage of thousands of years would have been completely lost to future generations.”
Elder Hua also said in a low voice. He knew that Qin Yuan was right. Traditional Chinese medicine had lost its heritage in many aspects of medicine. For example, Qin Yuan’s Taiyi Divine Acupuncture Technique disappeared in the past hundred years and never appeared in the world again!
If not for the ancestral teachings in the family, Elder Hua would not have known that the acupuncture technique Qin Yuan used was the Taiyi Divine Acupuncture Technique!
“Chinese medicine will definitely prove its existence to the world once again. Our ancestors spent thousands of years preserving this heritage, and we will not let it decline.
Qin Yuan’s eyes were also filled with determination. To him, as long as it was the heritage of China, he would not let it disappear in the long river of history.
Now, the pharmacopeias he had obtained included all the medical skills of traditional Chinese medicine. This was also something that Qin Yuan was gratified about. After all, there were indeed many gaps in the inheritance of traditional Chinese medicine.
Fortunately, it was all in the pharmacopeias. He only needed to copy it! Qin Yuan also respected Elder Hua very much. If the pharmacopeias were handed over to Elder Hua, it would definitely showcase the charm of traditional Chinese medicine even more!
“Definitely! I have dedicated decades of my life to showing the world the greatness of the heritage left by our ancestors!”
To Elder Hua, being born into a Chinese medicine family is his greatest fortune.. Elder Hua’s biggest dream was to make Chinese medicine once again reign supreme in the world!
