Although Fang Hongjian did not have the opportunity to give this kind of speech in his previous life, so it was inevitable that he was a little nervous, but fortunately, one of his great advantages is that the more people he played, the better he played, so he quickly adjusted his mentality, and after President Lu's speech, he first bowed respectfully to the audience, and then officially started his speech: "I was fortunate to receive an invitation from President Lu to talk about Western culture, but I think this topic is too big, although Western culture is not as long as my Chinese history. But after all, it has a history of thousands of years, and it is complicated, and it is not something that a person like me who has just seen the way can explain clearly, so I will talk about Western medicine that I am more familiar with.

At the beginning of studying abroad, I wanted to learn some ways of governing the country in order to change the current weak situation of the country, but after some study, I found that I was not a pillar of talent in this area, so I adhered to the ancient precept of Wen Zhenggong (Fan Zhongyan) that if you are not a good looker, you are a good doctor, so I also studied Western medicine in addition to philosophy.

However, I found that now in China, the dispute between Western medicine and Chinese medicine is very loud, and some people firmly believe in Chinese medicine and will never enter the door of Western medicine; The most famous example in this regard is Liang Rengong, who would rather be misdiagnosed by Western medicine and die than see Chinese medicine, and even left a will, not allowing this matter to spread, so as not to affect everyone's confidence in Western medicine. (This is true, if you don't believe it, you can check the cause of Liang Qichao's death.) ）

But in my opinion, it doesn't have to be so extreme, whether it is Chinese medicine or Western medicine, his ultimate goal is to be able to get rid of the disease for the patient, but each has its own strengths, such as stroke and facial paralysis, I will definitely go to Chinese medicine acupuncture treatment, and if I am wounded by a gunshot wound, I will definitely find a Western doctor to open a knife for me to take a bullet, so there is no need to be so stubborn, if Chinese medicine does not work, try Western medicine, if Western medicine does not work, try Chinese medicine, in short, it is important to look at the disease. ”

As early as 1913, Wang Daxie, then the Minister of Education, proposed to "abolish Chinese medicine and Chinese medicine"; In 1922, there was a collective refusal of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners in Shanghai to obtain a doctor's license and resist the government's discrimination and suppression of traditional Chinese medicine; In 1929, because of the infamous "Abolition of Traditional Chinese Medicine" (full name "Abolition of Old Medicine (Traditional Chinese Medicine) to Remove Obstacles to Medicine and Health"), it triggered a wave of petitions, rallies and demonstrations from 242 groups in 17 provinces and cities, second only to the "May Fourth" Movement. By 1947 the situation would have gotten even worse, but that's for another time.

Although Fang Hongjian studied Western medicine in his previous life, he was not exclusive to Chinese medicine, so even in this era, he hoped to use his own efforts to let the general public have an equal and fair view of Chinese and Western medicine.

Facts have proved that Fang Hongji's speech is still very successful, the best example is that several wealthy families in Fangwei have sent their daughter's photos and Geng posts, especially there is a second lady of the Xu family, Fang's mother is extremely satisfied, Fang Hongjian saw that if this continues, maybe his own marriage will have to be decided, so he hurriedly left his hometown and ran to Shanghai.

Since he has arrived in Shanghai, the first thing he wants to visit is naturally his father-in-law and mother-in-law who sponsored him to study abroad, and then Miss Su, although Fang Hong gradually knew that Miss Su's father Su Hongye had been a few officials before, and he was also quite famous, but when he arrived in Su Mansion, he personally felt the grandeur of this kind of official eunuch.

Miss Su was naturally very happy about his arrival, and greeted warmly: "Originally, I thought that if I didn't see Mr. Fang in a few days, I would ask someone to go to Fang Village to inquire about you." ”

But then she smiled and said: "Speaking of which, it's a coincidence that you came here today, there is going to be a drinking party at my house in the evening, and you can also come over to have a lively time when the time comes, and by the way, you can meet some more friends." So saying, he handed him an invitation.

In fact, when he came in just now, Fang Hongjian had already found that everyone in the Su Mansion was so busy that his feet did not touch the ground, and as the eldest lady of the Su Mansion, he was naturally even more idle, so he said very interestingly: "Okay, then I'll come over at night, you can be busy first, I won't bother first." ”

In the evening, Fang Hong rushed over early, but it was too early, so Miss Su had to greet guests at the door, and he had no time to chat with him, so he had to wander around with a glass of wine, but fortunately, after a while, he met two very outgoing and hospitable guys, one was named Chen Shiping, a senior staff member of the European and American tobacco company, and everyone called him Z.B., as if the abbreviation of "there is an example as evidence" in German. One was named Tennyson, whose foreign name was not the poet Tennyson but Admiral Nelson, who also worked for a British steamship company.

It wasn't until the reception started for a while that Miss Su took the time to come over and chat with Fang Hongjian for a few words, dragged him to another circle, and introduced him to a middle-aged man with eyes and fat head and big ears: "Uncle Feng, this is the author of the song "Facing the Sea, Spring Blossoms" that I told you last time, Mr. Fang Hongji, Mr. Fang, this is the editor-in-chief of the newspaper supplement "Happy Forest". ”

Hearing the name "Happy Forest", Fang Hong gradually couldn't help but be in awe, you must know that this was the most prestigious popular literature position in Shanghai at that time, such as the famous "Laughing Karma" was serialized in "Happy Forest", so Fang Hong gradually hurriedly arched his hand and said: "It turned out to be Editor-in-Chief Feng, I really admired it for a long time." ”

In fact, there is a reason why Fang Hongjian is so polite, because his first pot of gold is related to this "Happy Forest", and it is naturally an unexpected joy to be able to meet the editor-in-chief here, but the editor-in-chief Feng does not know Fang Hongji's thoughts, but he really admires himself, so he said with a smile: "Mr. Fang, I also read your article "Facing the Sea, Spring Blossoms", it is really a rare masterpiece, at that time I asked Wenqin which master's new work this is, but I didn't expect it to be a rising star like Mr. Fang. ”

Then he thought for a moment, and then said, "I wonder if Mr. Fang is willing to send the masterpiece to our "Happy Forest"? "In fact, Editor-in-Chief Feng said that most of it is for Miss Su's face, otherwise there are countless people who want to publish something on their "Happy Forest" every day, only others ask him, but there are very few times when he asks others, unless you are a master like Zhang Hatshui, and the young man in front of him can make the eldest lady of Su Mansion intercede for him like this, I think the relationship between the two is not ordinary, maybe he will be Su Fu's son-in-law in the future, so you might as well have fun in advance. Of course, this is also Fang Hongji's poem is really well written, otherwise Editor-in-Chief Feng would never take the risk of smashing his own brand.
