There is a church hospital in Shisanhang Street, Guangzhou, the name of the hospital is Boji Hospital, which was founded in 1835, although it is not the earliest church hospital in Guangzhou, but it is the largest western medicine hospital in Guangzhou at present.

Young Master Liang came to this hospital this morning. Today, he is rarely free, and the Guangzhou Development Zone is run by his big brother, and he is happy to save trouble. The Hainan base is under construction, and the fifth uncle Liang Haowen is staring at it. After practicing the basic skills with the master in the morning, he came here to find a person, this person is the first person in China to go to the West to study medicine and obtain a doctorate, the originator of Chinese Western medicine in his mind - Huang Kuan, his senior, because Huang Kuan also graduated from Morrison School in Hong Kong, and was the first batch of graduates.

At that time, the first principal of Morrison School, Mr. Brown, an American missionary, returned to China after his term of office, and when he left, he proposed to take three fresh graduates to the United States to continue his studies, and the three students who offered to go to the United States were Huang Kuan, Huang Sheng and Rong Hong. Among the three, Huang Sheng returned to China due to physical reasons, and Huang Kuan and Rong Hong separated again after graduating from Mengsong High School in the United States, and Rong Hong went to Yale University, and graduated from Yale in 1854, becoming the first Chinese to graduate from a foreign university. Huang Kuan went to the University of Edinburgh in England to study medicine, and obtained a doctorate in medicine from the University of Edinburgh in 1857.

Huang Kuan is currently working as a teacher at the school attached to Boji Hospital, teaching three important courses part-time: anatomy, physiology and surgery, training the first generation of Western medicine talents in China. He has his own medical center, and his medical skills are praised by foreigners in Guangzhou and Hong Kong as the best surgeon east of the Cape of Good Hope. There is no doubt that without real talent and learning, it would be impossible to obtain such a reputation with the contempt of foreigners for the Chinese. Huang Kuan has a straightforward personality, does not like to socialize, lives a simple life, and has a very strict spirit of self-discipline. (Peanut also studied medicine, and wrote so much to pay tribute to the pioneers of Chinese medicine)

Li Hongzhang once hired him as a medical officer of the shogunate, but Huang Kuan resigned in less than half a year, because he felt that he could not only serve a few bureaucrats, and his medical skills should serve more ordinary people.

Therefore, Young Master Liang came to see him, a senior, with a sense of reverence.

Unfortunately, when he came over, he learned that Huang Kuan had just started class, and Young Master Liang could only wait for him in Huang Kuan's preparation room.

After a full hour, when Huang Kuan came back, the two had not met, so Young Master Liang immediately stood up and greeted: "Hello senior, junior brother Liang Sihan has visited the senior." ”

Huang Kuanfu saw the student, but heard this person call himself a senior, and guessed in his heart that he should be an alumnus of Morrison School, after all, he is nearly four uncles, and the other party is still a child, but this child seems very sophisticated, a bit of Morrison School style: "You are a graduate of Morrison School this year"?

"The senior is really smart, you won't be in the Scottish police station, will you?"

"Hahahaha" Huang Kuan let out a rare burst of laughter, hearing the British-style compliment from this Chinese teenager, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and he also had some good feelings for this junior: "The junior came to see me, wouldn't he want to study medicine with me?" ”

"I've heard of the senior's name for a long time, junior brother, I'd better introduce myself, I'm Liang Sihan, I just graduated from Morrison School this year, but I don't want to study medicine, I work in the business house at home."

"Then why did you come to me on purpose?"

"Senior, then I'll be blunt, I want to invest in a medical school, a regular medical school, I want to hire you as the dean, and I will solve the college's residence and teaching equipment and equipment, but the faculty is more difficult, and we need to find a way together."

"Oh, junior, it's a great thing, it's just ······ It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that you're too young, and besides, this is really not a trivial matter" Although Huang Kuan is middle-aged and has a wide range of knowledge, he is still very surprised.

"It's okay, I'm used to it, I came here to find the senior, I'm definitely not here to joke with you, I also have an identity as the young owner of the Liang family of Tianbao Xing, Tianbao Xing is nearby, if the senior doesn't believe it, we can go there to talk."

"Oh", Huang Kuan thought to himself a little interesting, it seemed that this was true, and he didn't know how to speak when he was a little overwhelmed.

"Then please move to the seniors, by the way, I will invite the seniors to have a light meal at noon today to express my reverence for the seniors."

As soon as he said this, Huang Kuan couldn't refuse, after all, he had the affection of Morrison's school in it: "Okay, then I'll run with you."

Young Master Liang immediately instructed Liang Qiang to go to the Pan family's Chunmanyuan to book a private room, and he took Huang Kuan to Tianbaoxing to sit first, which showed that he really respected Huang Kuan.

Young Master Liang is still the second time to come to Chunmanyuan, the shopkeeper of the hotel obviously knows his identity, and is extremely respectful and considerate to him, so that Young Master Liang is a little flattered, and Huang Kuan is a little surprised, he is currently quite famous in Guangzhou, but this kind of high-end private garden hotel has only been to once, from the attitude of the shopkeeper, it can be seen that he is extremely respectful to this junior, but this is not scientific, even if the adults of the Liang family come over, they don't have to be so attentive.

Young Master Liang knew that this senior advocated a simple life, so he was not extravagant and wasteful, ordered a few exquisite side dishes, and opened a bottle of red wine: "Senior, I am not yet an adult, so I will pour half a glass to accompany the senior, you can enjoy it as much as you want."

Huang Kuan smiled and nodded, their unpopular meal was also in line with their identity. Eating and talking is not the way Chinese eat at this time.

"I don't know how big the medical school I want to run"? Huang Kuan has a straight temperament, and after eating a few bites, he opened his mouth to ask.

"Alas, don't hide it from the seniors, of course I want to be as big as possible, but this is unrealistic, the main reason is that I can't find so many teachers, and there are not many young people who are interested in studying medicine in the current Qing Dynasty."

Huang Kuan nodded again in approval: "You are right, we Guangdong have always been xenophobic, there are many people who do not believe in Western medicine, you don't know how sad I am, many people obviously I can cure them, but they do not accept my treatment, now I am still mostly foreigners, we Chinese will only look for me when there is really no way out, but at that time it is often delayed and unable to return to the sky, but unfortunately!" ”

Speaking of these things, Huang Kuan felt uncomfortable, he was full of enthusiasm to treat the villagers and the elderly, but he was misunderstood and disliked, this depression can be imagined, he died at the age of fifty in history, it is estimated that it is not unrelated to this depressed mood. Fifty years old, is the golden age of a doctor, but he left early, I can't help but say that it is a great pity, if he can live to be eighty years old, how many students can he bring out, these students will affect more descendants, alas, no wonder there are not many people in later generations who know Huang Kuan, it is really the soil of the Qing Dynasty that does not give him the opportunity to grow and develop.

"Senior, the reason why I don't want to study medicine with you is this, what I want to do is to break the shackles of these old ideas, break the shackles of these backward systems, I don't know if the senior is willing to help me" Although Master Liang's words were subtle, the meaning of it was thrilling.

Of course, Huang Kuan recognized the taste, and was taken aback in his heart, staring at this junior brother, as if he wanted to see how much energy was contained in this young man's body, and he actually made such a grand wish. To be honest, he loves his motherland, but after all, he is one of the few people in the Qing Dynasty who can open his eyes to the world, know the corruption of the Manchu government, and have no good impression of them, but he is just a doctor and does not want to get involved in politics. So for a moment, he didn't know what to say.

"Senior, don't think about it, now that we have established this medical school, it is the first step for us to transform this old society, what do you think?"

Huang Kuan raised the wine glass in his hand: "I don't dare to ask for it."
