Chapter 362: Refined Egoist
Yang Meng frowned: "I didn't want to talk about this topic, but since I talked about it here, I'll say a few words." At that time, our country was very backward. To be precise, it was not until 2008 that we took advantage of the global economic crisis as an opportunity to start developing, and today's economy has grown by leaps and bounds. Until then, our country was backward. In that environment, a group of so-called 'refined egoists' were born, who were highly educated and highly intelligent. And he is sophisticated and worldly, good at performing and disguise, knowing how to cooperate, and is even better at using the system to achieve his own goals. When they come to your side, they say that you love to listen to your society, and after returning to China, there are many such people, to put it bluntly, it is the word 'self-interest', you are also a highly educated person, if you can't even distinguish such people, then I suggest that your husband don't waste money for you to pay the tuition here. Brains are a good thing, but you have to have them!"
Speaking of this, seeing that many people were talking below, Yang Meng pressed down twice to signal everyone to be quiet: "I know you will say that I speak too much, after all, this Miss Ruth is just a little girl who has never seen the world, I should be tolerantγγγγγγ But why should I be tolerant? Our Han Kingdom can have today only because of the common ability of countless elite talents who love the country and stay in China. And I'm a standard statist, is it wrong for me to say good things about Han as a Han Chinese? You say I'm 'brainwashed,' and I still think you're right? Listen to me say that my country still needs to greet you with a smile? Are you sick? Isn't the gentleman next to you studying psychology? You can go to him and show you! In addition, I will give you one last sentence: No country in the world can curb the rise of the Han Kingdom, because there are countless people like me in the Han Kingdom!"
The scene was silent for a while, and suddenly burst into warm applause, which stunned Yang Meng, and after a while, he figured out that after so long of war in Lebanon, it was really enough, so many people chose to leave their hometown and flee as soon as they encountered the war, and these who stayed were like Yang Meng said, they were 'nationalists', and everyone just wanted to make the country better. Yang Meng's words can be regarded as speaking to their hearts.
Seeing that the people around her were applauding, Ruth said hysterically: "The rise of the Han Kingdom? That is impossible! The most powerful country in the world is our Stars and Stripes." It can never be your Han Kingdom!"
Yang Meng calmed down after hearing this: "The Stars and Stripes Kingdom is indeed powerful, but it can't contain the Han Kingdom. You must know that there are two aspects to a country's development, one is scientific and technological innovation, and the other is industrial innovation, and the Stars and Stripes have indeed a very strong ability to innovate in science and technology, but what about the ability to innovate in industry? The Han Kingdom has completely exploded the Stars and Stripes Country! If you only have the scientific and technological capability but do not have the production capacity, it is not enough, and the Han Kingdom walks on two feet. All we need is a little time, and trust me, it won't be long. In addition, let me tell you one more thing, the development of our Han Kingdom depends on those who contribute their strength at home, not by those who desperately smear our country outside in order to cater to the Western world. There are so many students in Lebanon here, and the reconstruction of Lebanon in the future depends on you and those students who have returned from studying abroad, not those who fled abroad as soon as they saw the war, so do you care about the opinions of those who have fled?"
The scene once again burst into cheers, and Yang Meng said that they were cool.
Yang Meng said: "When our country develops, we have also encountered many problems and detours, the most cruel words I have heard are a sentence 'we have made some mistakes', and these mistakes are shared by hundreds of millions of people, but now the country has been normalized, many mistakes have been corrected, so the Han country will only get better and better, Lebanon is a beautiful country, too' I have made some mistakes, but I believe that if you find the right path like the Han Kingdom, then your tomorrow will definitely be very good!"
The scene resounded with long-lasting applause.
Ruth was choked by Yang Meng, and suddenly rolled her eyes and said, "Mr. Yang, I apologize for you for saying what happened to the Han Kingdom just now, but now I have another question." β
"What's the problem?" Yang Meng asked.
Ruth said: "Just now, Professor Tarim introduced you as a member of the Han peacekeeping force in Libanon and a member of the medical officers and soldiers, am I right?"
Yang Meng was stunned: "Yes, what's wrong with this?"
Ruth said: "First of all, I want to recognize the work of your Han peacekeeping force, to be precise, whether you are here to clear mines or infrastructure is very good, this is obvious to all the people of Lebanon, including me, a native of the Stars and Stripes who studied in Lebanon, I also have to give a thumbs up." β
Yang Meng frowned after hearing this, this is nothing to do, it is either a traitor or a thief!
Sure enough, Ruth continued, "But we don't approve of your other work. At least we medical students don't recognize it. I'm talking about your medical work: you do a lot of first aid things without problems, but you also use so-called Chinese medicine. IMHO, in the eyes of us medical students, those who use grass roots and leaves to so-called cure people are no different from witchcraft liars. β
Yang Meng laughed after hearing this: "As far as I know, Western medicine also uses plants, isn't 'quinine' the best example?"
Quinine is cinchona, and hundreds of years ago, the Indians discovered that the bark of the cinchona tree could cure malaria, and they dried the bark and ground it into a powder to treat malaria. Later, the colonists got this secret from the Indians and began to study the cinchona tree carefully, eventually calling the extract 'quinine', which means 'bark' in Peruvian language.
After listening to Yang Meng's words, Ruth retorted: "That's different!"
"What's the difference? We have a plant in China called Alpha Hemp, well, in your eyes, even if it is a weed, but we have been using this grass to treat bone injuries for more than 2,000 years, and so far it has been very effective, is it any different from quinine? Oh, the difference is that now Quinine can be made by chemical means, but what about Octagonium? It can be found on the side of the road, and there is no need for chemical refining at all. Why do we pay attention to the 'combination of Chinese and Western' to impart knowledge of Chinese medicine in Lebanonγγγγγγ You guys wait here!" Yang Meng said that he ran out of the auditorium in front of everyone, everyone didn't know what Yang Meng was doing, and they started to talk about it, but it didn't take long to see Yang Meng running back with a purple flower.
"Ruth, let me ask, how to stop bleeding in Western medicine?" Yang Meng asked.
Ruth said with a smug face: "This is divided into where the bleeding is, if you want to stop the bleeding, there are many ways, pressure to stop the bleeding, tourniquet to stop the bleeding, or use drugs such as phenosulfonamide to stop the bleeding." β
Yang Meng took out the flowers in his hand: "This is called" thorn cabbage', the scientific name is thistle, when I came just now, I saw that there are a lot of your flower beds, indeed, this thing is easy to feed, and the small purple flowers are also very good-looking, when our Han country was not having a good time, many people eat the tender seedlings of this thing to satisfy their stomachs, in fact, I have also eaten, I lived in a lot of this place when I was a child, the taste is quite good, and the steamed buns are called a fresh, but it is not delicious when it is so mature now, and it can only be used as pig feed. β
Everyone didn't understand why Yang Meng suddenly explained this 'pig feed'?
Yang Meng continued: "In fact, this grass also has a function, it is similar to phenosulfonethalamide, which has the effect of stopping bleeding. If someone encounters a traumatic injury, crushing the grass and applying it to the wound will cause local vasoconstriction, and there are inhibiting fibers in it and antibacterial effectsγγγγγγ Because of the war, not everyone in Lebanon can use phenylethylamide, but everyone can find this thistle, right? That's why Chinese medicine is taught: it should be considered according to the national conditions. There is no best optionγγγγγγ One of our great men once said, 'It doesn't matter if it's black or white, the one that catches a mouse is a good cat.'" Wouldn't it be nice to let everyone know how to deal with emergencies?"
Ruth shook her head and said, "This method is not scientific. β
"But it works. Yang Meng said: "Why don't you come up and do an experiment for everyone?" You are medical students, you should have the spirit of experimentation, come and come, and make a knife on your body to show everyone the hemostatic ability of this thistle?"
"Neurotic!" Ruth burst into foul language when she heard this.
Yang Meng shrugged: "There is no spirit of dedication to science at all." Well, I'm just kidding, I don't have a knife on me, do I? It's a crime to hurt someone with a knife. We Han people are law-abiding, but I didn't expect Ruth to believe it, I really don't know what kind of environment you lived in. Do you know? If I had said that in the Han Kingdom, I might have been arrested under the pretext of 'carrying controlled knives.' Now you know how safe our Han Kingdom is, right?"
Ruth was angry, she rolled her eyes and said: "Actually, I have studied your traditional Chinese medicine, what meridians, what acupoints, that's all nonsense." Your so-called healing and rehabilitation effect by regulating the meridians is all foolish dreams and self-deception!"
"Self-deception, you don't believe in meridian acupuncture points?" Yang Meng was stunned.
Ruth nodded: "Of course, not only me, but all of our medical students don't believe it. After speaking, she also pointed to the people around her, and the group of Western students all nodded in agreement with Ruth's statement.
Yang Meng grinned after hearing this: "Well, according to my understanding, it is much easier for you to study medicine here than in your home country, and you can study for three years less, this is the reason why you come to study with us, you are just taking a shortcut and not studying well, question this and question that? Okay, you come up and experience for yourself what is 'meridian' and what is 'acupuncture', do you dare?"
