In 1910, neither the East nor the West was peaceful. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Since the beginning of the year, the Qing Dynasty's last work to establish a constitution has not brought them much good luck, and famines have occurred frequently throughout the country. Almost every month, the news from the Far East reached John's ears becoming more and more critical—without a historical retracement, the Qing Dynasty, which had lasted for more than 200 years, would be unable to hold on.

In the far west, Edward VII also died at the beginning of the year.

Still dying of pneumonia, sulfonamides, which were effective for many people, did little for him, and Edward VII died even a month before the other world. At the huge funeral, there were still nine kings following the hearse, and Kaiser Wilhelm II was still in high spirits, thinking that the time for himself and Germany had finally come!

Then in May 1910, bad news came out of Germany......

……

“…… Did you hear that? Mr. Koch died. ”

When he saw John, Ehrlich's face was full of sorrow, and his voice became low.

"Of course."

Nodding slowly, John sighed and said, "I have sent a telegram to the Koch Institute to express condolences for Professor Koch's departure......"

For Robert? John was also saddened by Koch's death. Truth be told, Johan's relationship with Koch is more general, far less close than his relationship with Liszt. However, there is a lot of respect in John's heart for this bull - it has nothing to do with character and anything like that, just because the other party's contribution to the medical field is enough to make John respect in his heart.

"When you think about it, Liszt seems to ......"

A strange thought suddenly rose in his heart, and John couldn't help but sigh again: "Unknowingly, have so many years passed?" ”

Just when John was full of emotion in his heart, Ehrlich hesitated for a while, and then suddenly said, "John, I ...... I received a telegram from Germany some time ago! ”

"German telegraph?"

After hearing Ehrlich's words, John was slightly stunned, and then looked at the other party's somewhat tangled and apologetic expression, and a very bad premonition suddenly rose in his heart......

After struggling for a moment, Ehrlich gritted his teeth and said, "John, that's the case...... They wanted me to go back to Germany and take over from Professor Koch! To be honest, I've been seriously thinking about it for a week, and although I'm reluctant to Huntelaar Medical College, it's ......"

Really!

By the time he heard this, John had already understood that Ehrlich, who was already in his fifties, wanted to go back to Europe, to go home!

“…… My final decision was to go back to Berlin while I could still walk! ”

By the end of the day, Ehrlich's face was already full of inexplicable anticipation. Twenty years have passed since he came to New York with John, and although Ehrlich is very satisfied with his current job, the rise of the Huntelaar Medical School has also filled him with a sense of accomplishment, and even last year, he won the Nobel Prize for his contribution to immunology with Mechnikov and John! But as a native German, the temptation to return to Europe when you are old is too great, let alone to go back to control a research institute like the Koch Institute!

Don't think that only Chinese think about returning to their roots, in fact, Europeans also have this feeling.

Osler was Canadian-born, but he considered himself British, so he chose to return to Cambridge; And Ehrlich was German, so he wanted to be able to go back to Berlin. For any person, this is actually human nature......

"Finally, is Ehrlich going to leave too?"

Looking at Ehrlich's apologetic, but faintly beginning to become firm, John couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Not long ago, Professor Osler had booked a ticket to England and was ready to leave New York. And today, Ehrlich suddenly made a request to prepare to leave, which made John can't help but feel a little lost.

At Huntelaar Medical College, Osler and Ehrlich are the two pillars that deserve to be.

One is the dean and professor of internal medicine, who is responsible for the construction and improvement of the entire medical education system and the development of internal medicine; The other is a professor of immunology and bacteriology and the head of the Department of Basic Medicine, overseeing the laboratories and research of the entire medical school. It can be said that the Huntelaar School of Medicine has been able to develop to the present in only 20 years, and has faintly become a leader in medical education in the United States and even the world, and these two people are absolutely indispensable!

John never imagined that Osler and Ehrlich would leave at the same time.

Osler's retirement had been said for a long time, and John had already formed a tacit understanding with the other party a few years ago. At the age of sixty Osler will go to England, and his work will be done by the best student, Harvey Anderson. Cushing took over. But today, Ehrlich suddenly offered to go back to Germany, but John was caught off guard.

After a brief moment of surprise, however, John quickly calmed down.

With the development of the Huntelaar Medical School, there is no such thing as a person who cannot function without it. And in fact, the importance of both Osler and Ehrlich in the school, although unquestionable, was compared to that of another person, John? Huntelaar himself, I'm afraid it's still slightly inferior.

John himself is the true soul of Huntelaar Medical College!

Perhaps there are many people who do not admit this, after all, John now goes to hospitals and medical school very rarely, and seems to have a little less influence than Osler and Ehrlich, who spend all day there. But in fact, including these two bigwigs, they all know in their hearts that when it is time to make a decision or when it is time to solve difficulties, the first thing that comes to everyone's mind is John himself. Whenever a physician or professor encounters a problem, whether it is financial or research, it is certainly not wrong to ask Mr. Huntelaar for help!

So to speak, John? The name Huntelaar is the foundation for the medical school to flourish!

It was precisely because of this understanding that Ehrlich dared to choose to leave this year when Osler left, because he knew that even without himself, they could develop well......

"I personally propose, Merrick? Mr. Clinton took my place. ”

After taking a deep breath, Ehrlich continued: "He is my student, thirty-eight years old is the prime of life, and he knows enough about schools and institutes...... Believe this, you should also know it! ”

"Yes, he's the right person."

After a long silence, John finally spoke, and he said in a sad voice: "And I know that you have always cultivated him as a successor, but what I didn't expect was that this day would come so quickly......"
