Chapter 454: Crazy Thoughts
Song Yu and Ren Shanshan were moving in the medical team from time to time, which made many people interested.
"Expert Song, why are you asking this? These questions are actually quite simple. An experienced doctor came over and said.
"Oh?" Song Yu has asked dozens of people, although the conclusions summarized in the end may not be representative, but the reference value is definitely there.
Hearing that someone took the initiative to explain the key to this, Song Yu stopped and listened to the other party's explanation. If it can be consistent with the conclusions of his previous investigation, then the answers to Song Yu's investigation questions will naturally surface quickly.
The local doctor smiled: "In fact, Mr. Song has worked hard for what he has done, and we have also analyzed many reasons." But we are too few of us to influence. Coupled with the fact that many suggestions are in great conflict with their actual situation and beliefs, our efforts are basically in vain. β
The doctor smiled bitterly. He once had a dream of changing the situation of the people in his hometown who were often sick, but by this time, his enthusiasm had worn out, and now he was only working with the intention of doing his part.
"Can you tell us more about the results you analyzed?" Song Yuda was interested.
"Of course, although we didn't succeed, I still hope that Expert Song can make changes to Likasi's current situation!" The doctor said: "The main reason why our propaganda has not been able to achieve the expected goals is that the people's beliefs and habits conflict with our propaganda. In addition, poverty has made many people reluctant to spend money on these areas, and many villages are still living in a state of almost isolated primitive life, and it is even more difficult for information to influence them. β
"Well, these are the main reasons for the big picture, can they be specific to reality?" Song Yu wanted to ask in more detail.
The local doctor nodded: "For example, if they don't go to the hospital when they are sick, the main reason is that they can't afford to go to the hospital." It doesn't cost much to get a wizard to help, but sometimes they can't afford to come to the hospital. β
"And then there's the problem of AIDS, the main thing is that everyone is Catholic. Catholic doctrine encourages procreation, but when we promote condoms, we clearly violate this principle. In addition, money and comfort will also have an impact on the promotion of the set, but the most important reason is faith. β
"As for pure water and diet, partly because of habit, partly because of poverty, they regard pure water and the use of utensils as unnecessary living expenses."
"Last but not least, a lot of people don't even have a basic TV at home, and advertising doesn't have any impact on them at all."
The doctor finished the situation in detail, and his tone was filled with a deep sense of powerlessness.
Song Yu nodded and said, "Thank you for telling me this." β
"You're welcome, Expert Song, you're helping us change the status quo of Likasi, and I should do my best." The doctor laughed.
Because he was still busy learning the medical methods of the medical team, the doctor took his leave and went about his own business.
Ren Shanshan asked, "Mr. Song, do we still want to continue the investigation?" β
"No, basically these are the reasons, and even if there are misses, they are also aspects that have little impact. I'm trying to figure out how to solve these problems. β
Song Yu returned to the room and listed the questions one by one.
In the outside world, there have been many people in the industry who have been rumoring Song Yu's actions in the past few days.
"Song Yu still wants to follow this old path? It didn't work at all, and it was done in vain, and now it is estimated that only a person like him, who has just come to Likasi, will have such a naΓ―ve idea, right? β
"I guess Song Yu's actions won't last a few days, at most a month, and he will completely wake up."
"Actually, it's good, although the effect is not obvious, it's better than nothing, but it's better to do it than not to do it well."
"I also think that this kind of behavior should be promoted, a Chinese person has taken the initiative to help us do this, but our own people are sneering at Song Yu, it really feels a little hopeless!"
"Support Song Yu, no matter what the result is, if you can have this heart, you are worthy of encouragement!"
Although there were quite a few people who were skeptical of Song Yu's approach, this did not prevent them from appreciating Song Yu's ideas. Many people were moved by Song Yu's spirit of spending a lot of time and money to help them as a foreigner.
Song Yu enumerated the dilemmas he was facing one by one, and after thinking about it for a while, Song Yu came up with a preliminary plan.
Advertising still has to be done, but he will personally endorse this kind of public service announcement. Many people in Congo don't know him now, but the name Song Yu is well-known to most people. In addition, Song Yu cured Ella and is an authoritative figure in the medical field, so Song Yu personally made this advertisement, which is more convincing than ordinary celebrities advertising.
In addition to advertising, Song Yu also needs to make some achievements in relatively isolated and poor places.
In these remote areas, the role of the media is not large, but the role of word of mouth cannot be ignored. A place recognizes Song Yu's authority, correspondingly, some surrounding areas will also spread Song Yu's deeds, and when the time comes, one will spread ten, ten will spread hundreds, and Song Yu's image in the minds of ordinary people will be even taller.
Song Yu felt that if you want to impact a faith, only by letting people establish another powerful belief can the original belief be subverted!
And in order to establish their own sacred aura in the hearts of the vast number of ordinary people in Likasi, it is certainly not enough to rely on media advertising alone, and other means must be adopted. This means must free the majority of the poor people from misery, so that they will be sincerely grateful to themselves and in awe!
What could this be a means?
Song Yu suddenly remembered a book, a "divine book" that had caused a very sensation in China, called "It is better to seek medical treatment than to seek oneself".
This book, in fact, uses popular language to tell the theoretical and practical knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine. And the reason why it can be so popular is also to take advantage of the psychology of many people in society who look down on the disease and want to solve the pain by themselves.
The situation in Africa is somewhat similar to the hot era of "Seeking Medical Treatment is Better than Seeking Yourself".
The biggest reason why people would rather believe in wizards than go to the hospital is that they can't afford to see a doctor. And wizards are far cheaper than going to the hospital, and sometimes, they don't even cost anything at all.
Thinking of this, Song Yu already had a plan in his heart.
He can also sort out a medical book that is suitable for the African situation, and then through this book, he can establish his own divine aura among the vast number of lower-class people!
And in this medical book, he can put all the content he wants to promote now into it, so as to achieve a better educational purpose!
After having this plan, Song Yu carefully connected many ideas, and then slowly supplemented and perfected the plan.
Ren Shanshan watched Song Yu lock herself in the room, thinking about it all day, and she was also a little worried in her heart.
The situation that the doctor said before, in Ren Shanshan's opinion, is really incomprehensible.
First of all, poverty, Song Yu can't solve it.
It's easy to get rich quickly for a village. But for a city or even a country to rise rapidly, this is really not as difficult as usual. In particular, Song Yu's current identity is only a famous doctor, or a famous doctor from a foreign country, and he cannot affect the regional economic development on a large scale.
In addition, Africa is so chaotic, coupled with the general lack of hard-working tenacity of the people, it is difficult to rise here quickly!
On the other hand, faith, it may be harder to change than to make Congo rich!
In the face of faith, many people are simply unable to think for themselves, they will always take faith as the truth, and then go all the way to the dark.
Looking at Song Yu's closed door, Ren Shanshan could only sigh, and she was embarrassed to disturb Song Yu, she could only secretly make up her mind, if Song Yu couldn't think of a way to deal with it within three days, she would persuade Song Yu to give up the plan.
After all, when it comes to it, these people are just doctors. A doctor's job is only to save people. As long as the patients sent to them are cured, this is no longer against the ethics of being a doctor, and there is no need to make any more efforts to persuade the locals to change their attitudes.
Ren Shanshan looked in front of Song Yu's door again, and finally prepared to turn around and leave.
At this time, Song Yu's door opened.
"Mr. Song!" Ren Shanshan hurriedly went up and asked, "Have you figured it out?" β
"Well, figured it out." Song Yu said with a smile.
Ren Shanshan breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good to figure it out, in fact, Mr. Song doesn't have to feel lost, this is a problem that is difficult to solve in the whole of Africa." Mr. Song, although you are very capable, you are not stronger than the entire African government and medical circles combined, right? β
Song Yu was stunned for a moment, shook his head again and again, and said, "You misunderstood, it's not that I figured out to give up the plan, but I have already thought of a way to change the status quo here!" β
Ren Shanshan was stunned for a long time, and she could stuff an orange in her mouth.
Deceptive, right?
She had been analyzing it in her heart for so long just now, and she had almost concluded that Song Yu couldn't think of a way, but Song Yu said that she had come up with a way!
Another thing that made Ren Shanshan feel very incredible was that Song Yu's time to come up with an idea was too short, and the rough plan that he came up with in such a short period of time is probably not very reliable.
"Uh, Mr. Song, are you sure your solution works?" Ren Shanshan said in a slightly distrustful tone: "Can you tell me what you think?" β
Song Yu nodded, and then confidently said his thoughts.
After Ren Shanshan listened, she suddenly felt like she was being drunk, and her mind was flooded.
It seems that it is really possible!
Ren Shanshan's eyes lit up: "Although I'm not sure if it can be successful, I think this plan is very feasible, once it really succeeds, Mr. Song, your prestige may really reach an unprecedented level!" β
