"It doesn't matter. As long as I can live and watch my children grow up, I will be satisfied."

Lian Qiao only understood at this moment the attachment a mother has to her child. Life in this world is very hard, but she can give up anything except her own child.

How many parents end up losing to their own children.

"Auntie, don't worry, I'll bring you medicine when I get back. I believe it will cure your illness."

Lian Qiao is not opposed to letting her aunt take the new medicine, because as long as she can survive, it is hope for her. If she doesn't take the new medicine, she really won't be able to survive.

"Master, I understand now that everything you do is meaningful."

Lian Qiao said admiringly.

"Don't talk about useless things. Go back and sort out the medicines and send them to Auntie in portions. Make sure you supervise him to take them."

Li Jiandong is now eager to know the effects of these drugs.

"Don't worry, Master. I believe we can save Auntie."

"Silly girl, we are not living Buddhas. It is normal even if we cannot be saved."

Li Jiandong doesn't want the little girl to have too many emotions or hopes, because the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
After a month of hard work, the woman went to the hospital for a check-up and found that the number of cancer cells had indeed decreased. It seemed that paclitaxel had been successfully researched.

"What did you eat? I didn't expect your health to improve in just one month."

The doctors who examined us were all very surprised.

The cancer cells had clearly spread, but I didn't expect that the number of cancer cells had actually decreased.

"I took a mysterious medicine that I can't tell you about right now."

The woman promised Li Jiandong that he must keep these things secret and not tell anyone, regardless of whether the condition has improved or not.

The doctor shook his head helplessly, thinking that this was simply a medical miracle.

Lian Qiao brought the news that the woman's condition had improved to the master.

"Don't be happy too soon. We need to continue to observe his physical changes."

Li Jiandong didn't feel that the matter was successful.

Although the woman's condition has improved, it does not mean that she can be cured.

You can't take paclitaxel all the time.

"Master, what do you mean?"

Lian Qiao didn't understand and frowned tightly.

"Do you think his hair will fall out?"

"Is your whole body weak?"

Li Jiandong asked.

Lian Qiao nodded and Li Jiandong sighed.

"Don't feed him yet. Let him take care of his body and eat more nutritious food."

Lian Qiao listened and said, "Master, you want him to eat good food, but his family has no money, how can he eat?"

Lian Qiao felt that this was too much to ask. Women should save their money for their children, so how could they bear to eat it themselves?

Li Jiandong shook his head helplessly. This girl was too kind. "Take this to that woman."

"Master, with so much money, will Master's wife be unhappy?"

Lian Qiao felt that Qin Huairu would not be happy if she knew that Li Jiandong spent money on other women, no matter what the reason was.

"What are you thinking, girl? Over the years, your master has understood me and supports everything I do."

Li Jiandong said with a smile.

Lian Qiao stuck out her tongue and took the money with her, but she added some more. Her parents gave her a lot of money. He could give it to the aunt.

"Auntie, this is the money my master and I gave you. Taking too much of that medicine is bad for your health. You need to supplement your nutrition. You can take it." Lian Qiao said with tears in her eyes.

For the first time, she felt that human life was so fragile and could be gone in an instant.

"No, girl, I can't take your money." Although the woman was poor, she was ambitious.

"Auntie, take it for your child." Lian Qiao gave the money to the woman, who wanted to refuse.

Seeing the young child, he accepted it anyway. He couldn't fall down. If he really died, what would happen to the child?

"Don't worry, if I really get well, I will definitely pay you back. I won't take your money for nothing."

The woman gritted her teeth and said, although I don't know if I can repay this favor in this lifetime, I still have to pay it back.
Li Jiandong sat at the table in the clinic, his eyes fixed on the densely packed medical books.

He felt powerless deep down because he was unable to give terminally ill patients real hope and treatment.

Li Jiandong was filled with emotion having just seen off a patient who was very grateful.

The woman was in the advanced stage of lung cancer, and there was no chance that traditional Chinese medicine could save her life.

Li Jiandong knew very well that his ability was not strong enough to cure all his illnesses.

He could have continued to use the system's capabilities to learn new knowledge to overcome difficulties, but for terminal illnesses, existing medicine could not find a solution.

With a heavy heart, Li Jiandong began to read medical books again, hoping to improve his medical knowledge through continuous learning.

He firmly believes that only by continuous progress can we better serve patients and defeat various stubborn diseases.

At this moment, Zhang Yun hurriedly pushed the door open, and his solemn expression showed that he was worried.
"master."

"I just heard that the country is going to start implementing a new policy. Practicing medicine requires a qualification certificate."

Zhang Yun said anxiously.

Li Jiandong frowned slightly. The development of the traditional Chinese medicine industry has always faced challenges. The emergence of such new policies is really worrying.

He knew in his heart that those doctors who relied on the experience and skills of traditional Chinese medicine would face unprecedented impact.

"This policy is indeed a huge challenge for us and we need to be prepared."

"We have to apply for accreditation as soon as possible to ensure we can continue to provide services to patients."

"Not only must we ensure that we can continue to practice medicine, but we must also protect the reputation and inheritance of traditional Chinese medicine through standardized means."

Li Jiandong said in a serious tone.

Li Jiandong put down the medical book in his hand, raised his head, and looked at Lian Qiao in her anxious eyes.

"Lianqiao, what's the matter?" Li Jiandong asked with a smile.

Lian Qiao clenched her hands and spoke breathlessly.

"Master, I just heard some news in the city."

"Someone has organized a meeting and invited you to attend."

"This meeting is to discuss the impact of the new policy on the traditional Chinese medicine industry and its development direction."

“I think you should go there in person and speak up for traditional Chinese medicine.”

Li Jiandong frowned slightly, he understood Lian Qiao's concerns.

The traditional Chinese medicine industry has always been controversial, and the introduction of new policies has put the entire industry into a difficult situation.

"Lian Qiao, you are right." "It is time to speak up for traditional Chinese medicine."

“I don’t want to see the precious knowledge and skills we have worked so hard to pass down being marginalized.”

"Come on, let's go to that meeting."

Li Jiandong said as he stood up.

The streets outside the clinic were crowded with people, and pedestrians were rushing through the city.

Li Jiandong and Lian Qiao walked silently among the crowd, with serious expressions on their faces.

Lian Qiao couldn't help biting her lip, she knew how important this meeting was to her master.

Since she became Li Jiandong's apprentice, she has witnessed the miracles of her master curing countless patients.

However, faced with the impact of new policies and modern medicine, Lian Qiao gradually began to lose confidence in traditional Chinese medicine.

"Master, I heard many people say that modern medicine is the most effective treatment."

"They think Chinese medicine is superstition and traditional ideas."

"This makes me very confused. What is the problem with our traditional Chinese medicine?"

Lian Qiao asked in a low voice.

Li Jiandong stopped and patted Lian Qiao's hand gently.

He understood her confusion and doubts.

"Lianqiao, you are not wrong."

"It is true that some people are prejudiced and skeptical about traditional Chinese medicine."

“But we can’t give up because of this.”

"Traditional Chinese medicine is extensive and profound, with a long history."

“It is not a pile of superstition or traditional ideas, but the crystallization of thousands of years of wisdom and experience.”

"The introduction of the new policy is only a temporary measure. We cannot use it to drive traditional Chinese medicine out of the market."

"I believe that under the correct guidance and regulation, traditional Chinese medicine can complement modern medicine and serve human health together."

Li Jiandong said earnestly.
Lian Qiao felt the determination and confidence in her master's eyes, and she nodded slightly.

Li Jiandong brought Lian Qiao to the conference room, only to see that the venue was full of people, with all the representatives of traditional Chinese medicine gathered here.

Yamen officials sat on the rostrum, smiling and waiting for the meeting to officially begin.

Li Jiandong looked at everyone and smiled slightly.

He knew that this conference was crucial to the future of the Chinese medicine industry.

The yamen official stood up and made an opening speech.

They introduced in detail the introduction of the new policy and its impact on the traditional Chinese medicine industry.

Representatives from all parties raised their hands to ask questions and express their views on policies.

Li Jiandong also raised his hand and got the chance to speak.

"Dear leaders and representatives, I am a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner and also a scientist."

"First of all, I want to say how grateful I am to have the opportunity to participate in this discussion."

“As the wisdom and experience accumulated by China over thousands of years, Chinese medicine culture plays an irreplaceable role in the process of modernization.

"The new policy raises the issue of changes to the content of medical qualification examinations, which in my opinion is not reasonable."

“We cannot deny our thousands of years of inheritance and understanding of traditional Chinese medicine just because of the introduction of some modern technologies and concepts.

"Traditional Chinese medicine is an important part of our country's traditional thought. It not only carries a wealth of medical knowledge, but more importantly, it contains our unique observations and understandings of life and nature."

“Given this, we cannot simply incorporate traditional Chinese medicine into the policy of combining it with modernization.

"If we do not uphold and promote the traditional culture of Chinese medicine, all our efforts will be in vain."

"There are many emerging diseases in society today, and even problems that cannot be solved by modern medicine. This is when Chinese medicine masters play a huge role.

“Furthermore, we should not only focus on the treatment method itself, but also see the calming and inner peace, the emotions, trust, tolerance, respect and care hidden in traditional medicine.”

.

"This is the precious spiritual wealth developed from the traditional Chinese culture that values ​​human ethics and morality."

"Therefore, when formulating the content of the medical qualification certificate assessment, it is necessary to fully consider the cultural connotation of traditional Chinese medicine."

"Rather than just pursuing so-called modern and technological standards."

“It takes many years of study and practice for a person to master the rich knowledge and skills of traditional Chinese medicine.”

“This knowledge has a long history and has been continuously practiced, summarized and developed by countless doctors.

"I hope that government departments can re-examine the new policy's requirements for the traditional Chinese medicine industry and give us more reasonable space and opportunities."

"Let us use our unique and rich Chinese medicine culture to make due contributions to people's health and social stability."

Li Jiandong said the last sentence with a firm expression, paused, and then sat back in his seat.

The audience was silent.

The officials in the yamen fell into deep thought, seemingly touched by what Li Jiandong had just said.

Li Jiandong sat in the clinic thinking about the meeting that had just ended, his heart filled with love and sense of responsibility for the cause of traditional Chinese medicine.

He knows that his efforts to speak up for traditional Chinese medicine are necessary, but he also feels pressure and challenges.

At this moment, Lian Qiao pushed open the door of the clinic, walked in and asked with concern.

"Master, what was the outcome of the meeting?"

“Did they accept your point of view?”

Li Jiandong smiled slightly and said while looking at Lian Qiao.

"What I just said seemed to have touched them."
Li Jiandong sat at a long table at the Guodu Medical Conference, face to face with other famous medical experts.

He could feel the tense atmosphere in the conference room as the doctors were arguing about the standards for the professional qualification certificate for traditional Chinese medicine.

Anxious Li Jiandong hopes to gain more development opportunities for traditional Chinese medicine.

He knew that the outcome of this meeting would be directly related to the future development direction of traditional Chinese medicine in the capital.

Li Jiandong watched the doctors around him debating endlessly and felt very excited.

He stood up, with a hint of confidence and determination spreading from his slightly fluttering beard under his traditional black robe.

“Dear colleagues, when discussing the evaluation standards for traditional Chinese medicine, we must make one point clear: although traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine have similarities, their core concepts and diagnostic and treatment ideas are completely different.”

Li Jiandong spoke in a firm and powerful voice.

Many people in the hall looked at him strangely, wanting to see what insights this famous Chinese medicine expert had.

Li Jiandong continued.

"China has accumulated rich and valuable knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine over thousands of years, while Western medicine is a scientific system based on anatomy and analytical chemistry." (End of this chapter)
