I Can Hear the Heart's Voice of Traditional Chinese Medicine-Chapter 288 - 127: Chinese Medical Science and Technology Award (Part 2)

Moreover, Old Zhou is right. Developing Chinese medicine isn't something that can be done by relying on just one person, nor by burying oneself in a specific field and seeing a few more patients.

Do we lack Masters of Medicine in Chinese medicine?

Almost every once in a while, a famous doctor comparable to Hua Tuo or Zhongjing emerges, yet they still can't change the current situation of Chinese medicine.

Indeed, the country is now paying attention to Chinese medicine, but for it to rise, it's not just about national attention. We, the Chinese medicine practitioners, have to be strong ourselves. We have to earn some awards and show some achievements. How long can this attention last otherwise?"

Honestly, Lu Xuan was moved. This time, he was genuinely touched.

Whether it's what Zhou Jiande said or what Huang Beishan mentioned, they truly address what's most lacking in Chinese medicine today.

Zhou Jiande thought Lu Xuan was hesitating and couldn't help but continue, "Teacher, just write something about the application of acupuncture in the medical field. Once it's written, leave the rest to us. We'll submit it under the name of the United South Chinese Medicine Association. If you're not comfortable with that, you can handle it yourself. After all, the United South Chinese Medicine Association will fully cooperate."

"I agree. I'll take some time to write it, and as for adding a name, you can add yours."

Hearing this, Zhou Jiande quickly shook his head, "No need to add mine. It really has nothing to do with me. If it did, I wouldn't decline, but for a project that has nothing to do with me, what's the point of adding my name?"

"Old Zhou is right. There's no need to add his name," Huang Beishan chimed in.

Seeing Zhou Jiande's insistence, Lu Xuan said no more, "Alright, let's decide on that. Give me a week, and I'll bring the written piece."

Having settled the matter of participating in the Chinese Medical Science and Technology Award selection, Zhou Jiande and Huang Beishan then got up to leave.

At the doorway.

Gu Huahua watched the backs of Huang Beishan and Zhou Jiande as they left, feeling a moment of disorientation. She checked the time, realizing some time had passed, quickly got up, and knocked on the clinic door.

"Come in."

Lu Xuan wondered who it was. Looking up, he saw it was Gu Huahua and smiled, "Gu Huahua, what brings you here?"

"Come in and have a seat."

Lu Xuan welcomed Gu Huahua inside.

"No need, no need. I'm here on someone else's behalf, to ask if you're attending tonight's gathering. Everyone is waiting for us." Gu Huahua quickly waved her hand and didn't step in. Although she wanted to get closer to Lu Xuan, her body instinctively resisted.

It's not that she felt hostile towards Lu Xuan, but Lu Xuan now stood so high, the disparity in status and rank made Gu Huahua instinctively hesitant to draw too near.

Hearing this, Lu Xuan had already guessed that Gu Huahua had likely mentioned his sitting-in at the United South Chinese Medicine Association and serving as a council member of the Yong City Chinese Medical Association. If he attended the gathering now, the whole meaning of the reunion would change.

Thinking of this, Lu Xuan shook his head and declined, "Forget it, I won't go. You probably heard at the door just now, the Chinese Medical Science and Technology Award application is imminent. The project documents can't be finished in a day or two. I need to start preparing tonight, about the gathering..."

Lu Xuan hesitated and said, "I'll have to trouble you to inform everyone, I'm really sorry this time. Next time, I'll treat everyone to dinner."

Gu Huahua had indeed overheard and knew that Lu Xuan needed to focus entirely on this task for the time being. So she didn't insist any further and nodded, "No problem, everyone understands. This matter is more important than the gathering, and besides, you mentioned time is tight. I won't stay longer, they're waiting for me over there."

"Alright, you should go, don't keep them waiting."

After seeing Gu Huahua off, Lu Xuan didn't linger at the United South Chinese Medicine Association, packed his things, locked the clinic door, and headed towards the bus stop.

On the other side.

After leaving Lu Xuan's clinic, Huang Beishan and Zhou Jiande didn't head straight back. They contacted Zhang Jingcai and Ye Haishen, and the four of them went to a teahouse.

As soon as Zhang Jingcai entered, he brought up the matter of having Lu Xuan join the Yong City Chinese Medical Association as a council member, then looked at Huang Beishan to consult his opinion. After all, being the Vice President of the Yong City Chinese Medical Association, his opinion carried weight.

Even though Zhang Jingcai thought Huang Beishan wouldn't have any objections, he still needed to ask.

Huang Beishan naturally had no objections, in fact, he was quite pleased, "What opinion could I have? If you invited someone else to be a council member, I might need to evaluate their abilities to some extent, but for Dr. Lu, I don't need to say much about Chinese internal medicine. As for acupuncture, he can rival some Acupuncture Grandmasters, and he's Old Zhou's teacher. With his capability, there's no problem at all in him serving as a council member of the Yong City Chinese Medical Association."

"Moreover, achieving extremes in acupuncture, even recreating the acupuncture techniques Mountain Burning Fire and Heart-piercing Cold, must have involved considerable research in Chinese medicine."

Zhang Jingcai cheerfully looked at Huang Beishan, "No issues with Chinese internal medicine either."

"Oh?"

"Did Dr. Lu really visit you this afternoon?"

Huang Beishan recalled what Zhang Jingcai mentioned to Lu Xuan at noon.

"Yes."

"How did it go?"

All three of them were suddenly interested.
