Chapter 1 Seeing Greatness in the Ordinary
Zhou Quanlin, a native of the countryside, born in Si grew up in the ordinary grass people, his appearance is not good, thin and skinny, but there is a pair of bright eyes, about the story of him becoming a generation of famous doctors, that is a later thing, the ancients said well, "Therefore, the heavens will descend on the people, they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skin, empty their bodies, and act chaotically, so they are tempted to endure and benefit what they can't." People are permanent, and then they can change; Trapped in the heart, balanced in the mind, and then done; Signify in color, sound in sound, and then metaphor. If you enter, you will not be able to go home, and if you go out, you will be invincible to foreign patients, and the country will die. Then he was born in sorrow, and died in peace. Although this is said by Mencius two thousand years ago, it seems to be a tailor-made summary for Zhou Quanlin, including what he did in his life, he is one of the great doctors who saved Chinese medicine from fire and water, but when he first entered the world, he was ignorant, encountered the wind and rain of troubled times, struggled to find a way out, and accidentally stumbled into the road of Chinese medicine, so life in the world, what to do, what to think, have been destined by God, no matter where you are, no matter what you are in good times and adversity, you must also stand up and complete its great cause. In fact, as long as I listen to the call of the heart, just like I am writing this character now, I have been holding it for a few years, I have to present this character to the reader in fullness, because I have always been moved by him, I want to speak for him, I want to make a life for him, I am also called by God, to complete the current task, to establish this contemporary doctor little by little.
……
A small and rapid knock on the door interrupted Zhou Quanlin, who was writing a speech in the county party committee organ, he didn't understand, how could there be such impolite people in this now society full of red flags and happiness, didn't they know that this was the county party committee organ? It's so bold, no, a person with such courage is likely to be a correspondent of a unit at the same level who is really in a hurry, or a leader or commissioner with a heavy responsibility sent by his superiors, after thinking about it so much, it was also a matter of an instant, Zhou Quanlin didn't think about it anymore, and immediately opened the door.
"Are you Zhou Quanlin?"
"I am, what's the matter with me?"
"You're arrested."
"I didn't break the law, why should I be arrested."
"Death is not repentant, did you write an article "On the Root of the Poverty of the Chinese People", in which it is written that the Chinese people will not be able to turn over and become masters in another 50 years, and will continue to be poor, and the Chinese people will be oppressed by the new landlords and the bourgeoisie in the future.
"You completely misunderstood, and also misunderstood, I wrote about the development trend of China's economy in the next 50 years, the economic life of the Chinese people in the east and the huge imbalance in the development of the west, which will affect the future of China's economic trend, I am thinking about China's future economic development!"
"A hairy boy, thinking about the Chinese economy, do you know that your fallacies and heresies have seriously affected the thinking of some scholars in the field of economic theory, that you are counter-revolutionary ideas, that your ass is already sitting in the bourgeois camp, that you are opposing socialist capitalist ideas, and that you are singing the praises of capitalist economic theory, and that your problems are quite serious. The head of the Central Committee has sent our working group to arrest and examine you, so you can think about it in prison now. ”
"You can't treat an upright person like this, I'm still a cadre of the county party committee and county government, I still have work to do, you can't arrest me like this."
"You are no longer suitable for your current job, and there will be more suitable cadres to take over your work, so you don't have to worry about this. Now that you've been officially arrested, go to jail and reflect on yourself! ”
Zhou Quanlin knew that no matter how much he argued, it was useless, in this era of class struggle as the key link, no one could protect his freedom, and the right to speak was in the senior leaders and higher-level organs, and he could no longer argue. He had to bear it in silence. He can only hope that someone can understand and appreciate his theories and thoughts, and at that time he still has a glimmer of life, and he can return to society to be a man and do things, and he always feels that people who think for the people will be rewarded.
Zhou Quanlin was convicted after a simple interrogation as an out-and-out counter-revolutionary bad element, and then immediately thrown into a prison in the northwest of Shanxi Province to reflect, when he first arrived in this prison, he was full of dissatisfaction and shouts, and he quickly calmed down the anger in his heart, because he saw that this prison was overcrowded, and most of the people here only dared to be angry but did not dare to speak. He thought about it again and again, and he affirmed that his thinking and arguments were not wrong, and that he was wrong in the times in which he lived. He wants to study hard, study hard, perform well, and actively enrich himself here, so that he can become a super hero who purifies all living beings and a warrior who benefits one side in the future. One day in the future, when I go out, I can do something great for this society.
Because of his positive behavior, his fellow inmates treated him kindly, because basically this prison is full of so-called counter-revolutionaries, and according to Zhou Quanlin's observation, most of them are people who think positively about society, and many of them are upright people.
One day a month later, an old man with a white beard and a fresh body came into the same prison, he had a pair of keen eyes and an extraordinary bearing, and Zhou Quanlin wanted to know this old man, because he felt that this old man was a scholar.
On this day, Zhou Quanlin took advantage of the gap when everyone went out to weed together, and when the discipline was not nearby, he talked with the old man who was working together.
"Sir, what do you call you by your surname?"
"Don't be expensive, my surname is Cheng, Cheng Dake."
"Mr. Cheng, what did you do to be locked up here?"
"Young man, I have been practicing medicine for more than 40 years, and this time I only overused a few flavors of Chinese medicine, and I was sued by the villain to the county, and I was finally arrested here." Zhou Quanlin was very curious about how an old Chinese medicine doctor was also caught here. There is also an overdose of traditional Chinese medicine, which aroused Zhou Quanlin's curiosity even more.
"If you use an overdose of Chinese medicine, does that cure people to death?" It seems a bit impolite to ask that.
"The amount of medicine I use has been passed down from generation to generation, saving people's lives, and serious illness must be heavy to bring the dead back to life." Mr. Cheng said very calmly and confidently, and it seems that it is definitely not what Dr. Tiger Wolf did.
"Then how can this life-saving dosage not be allowed?" Zhou Quanlin was even more curious, the doctor couldn't decide the dosage, how could there be such a stupid rule, he couldn't figure it out.
"The current Chinese Pharmacopoeia is a joint research and formulation of Chinese and Western medicine after the liberation, which completely puts aside the traditional dosage passed down from heart to mouth in the past, and is based on the physical and chemical indicators and toxicity experiments of the drug. But such a dosage cannot immediately save people's lives, and there is no first aid effect. In fact, Western doctors have already announced that the patient can not be treated, let the family prepare for the funeral, I let the patient live for more than a month, and then the patient listened to other people, no longer use my prescription to catch medicine, and soon died, I heard that the later death was very painful. ”
"If you use your prescription, will this patient really be able to be saved?"
"Of course I can, but for this kind of condition, I must adjust the prescription at any time according to the development of the patient's condition, Chinese medicine pays attention to looking, smelling, asking, and cutting, and the condition of the emergency is likely to take a sharp turn for the worse, I have to follow the patient to decoct the medicine and feed the medicine, because these details determine whether the person can be saved."
"How can you guarantee that his life will be saved?"
"I was able to roughly judge this possibility at the beginning, this experience is the summary of many years of medical practice, and the traditional techniques of the ancestors who practiced medicine to create the Quartet are very sure, the so-called Chinese medicine to the root refers to the accurate and bold use of medicine, in the case of distinguishing and treating the disease, saving people from fire and water, at this time must be heavy-handed, and the dosage should be large."
"Mr. Cheng, can you accept me as an apprentice and teach me Chinese medicine, I also want to learn pure Chinese medicine that saves people's lives in danger." Zhou Quanlin was a little excited. The disciplinarian came over and pointed at them and said, "Don't murmur any more, get to work." ”
Zhou Quanlin and Cheng Dake met in prison and had a common thinking - Chinese medicine first aid, and jointly studied traditional Chinese medicine to treat diseases and save people. After a few days of observation, Cheng Dake also felt that Zhou Quanlin, with a straight heart, has the kind character of a practitioner, and is also intelligent, can learn things thoroughly, has a good memory, has the foundation of a great doctor, and has great training value.
Cheng Dake was sentenced to five years, and he didn't want to spend five years in this prison in vain, if he could pass on his Chinese medicine skills to the right people, he couldn't ask for it.
So Cheng Dake officially began to teach Zhou Quanlin traditional Chinese medicine, and Zhou Quanlin wrote down a lot of traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions every day.
"Quanlin, I teach you so little by little, it's still not systematic, it's too general, just memorize some medicinal tips, it's too slow, I recommend you to take a look at traditional Chinese medicine books, such as "The Yellow Emperor's Neijing", "Treatise on Typhoid Fever", and some old medical books, which is very beneficial to you, because you learn to a certain extent, you need to support theoretical knowledge, it is not enough to have a prescription, but also to focus on the big picture, see a doctor is not only in the patient's condition, but also through the pulse and the inheritance of the old Chinese medicine experience in the past, You can't cultivate pure Chinese medicine by relying on instruments, you have to rely on your understanding to achieve your level of Chinese medicine. ”
Later, due to changes in the social situation and consideration of Cheng Dake's physical condition and age, the prison commuted Cheng Dake's sentence, and Cheng Dake was released from prison before the end of his sentence.
"Quanlin, our teacher's fate is here, in the future, you have to practice medicine with your heart, treat every patient as your own relatives, the doctor is benevolent, you must have noble medical ethics, don't look at the money, although the good doctor can not be rich and expensive, but it must also be worry-free, you don't have to bend your waist for five buckets of rice, in addition, the great doctor must bow down to everything, don't divide the patient into three, six, nine and so on, and you have to take a qualification certificate to practice medicine, so that you can play what you have learned for the people of Limin, I wish you success!"
Zhou Quanlin hugged Cheng Dake's fists, which could be regarded as a thank you to Cheng Dake for accepting him, after all, he was in prison and couldn't worship his teacher. Since then, an ordinary doctor has quietly entered the field of vision of the people.
