Section 654 Stand up
In Roosevelt's house, Roosevelt sat in a wheelchair with a blanket over his legs. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Roosevelt did not refuse, and asked Tang Chengzhi to check him with confidence.
After Tang Chengzhi's examination, he told the two that Roosevelt's muscles were very healthy and it was very likely to stand up again.
Tang Chengzhi said with an expressionless face, because he really had no bottom, because Yang Chao asked him to say this.
"Is there a cure in Chinese medicine?"
Roosevelt was very curious, Yang Chao told him through Rockefeller's representative a year ago that there were methods to treat paralysis in traditional Chinese medicine, and Roosevelt did not want to be controlled by others, so he quietly invited a few Japanese doctors in the United States, who knew a little about Chinese medicine, but they did not dare to guarantee that Chinese medicine had a successful case of treating paralysis.
Tang Chengzhi was familiar with the classics, but he could name more than one similar success story, and immediately explained the relevant principles to Roosevelt.
But Roosevelt didn't understand it, and it was strange that he could understand it, Tang Chengzhi said that the so-called noun through acupuncture points, dissolving stasis and relaxing tendons and clearing the channels was the first time he heard it in his life.
However, he didn't mind asking Tang Chengzhi to help him stab, and under the witness of Yang Chao, Tang Chengzhi took out a long gold needle and a silver needle, burned it over, and then slowly stabbed it, the stab was very deep, and Roosevelt was surprised that his leg could fit such a long silver needle.
Tang Chengzhi did not have much difficulty in administering the needle, because Roosevelt was a strong man, after his illness, he never gave up hope of standing up, and always insisted on exercising, although his legs were not felt, but he always tried to stand up with crutches, so the muscles in his legs were not seriously atrophied, and the muscles were soft.
But after all, after being paralyzed for more than ten years, the nerves in the legs have long been necrotic, and it is impossible to have any sensation.
After Tang Chengzhi sweated profusely and spent an hour completing the treatment, the meeting between the two ended, Yang Chao wished Roosevelt an early stand, and Roosevelt thanked the medical experts from China for their good service.
Roosevelt didn't take it seriously, because he didn't feel anything, he didn't believe in traditional Chinese medicine, and it could surpass modern medicine, so many professors in American medical schools were helpless, and a local doctor in China who didn't go to college cured him casually, how could Americans live?
But as soon as he fell asleep, Roosevelt cried out, "Eleanor, Eleanor, are you deaf?" ”
In the middle of the night, Eleanor was sleeping and thinking, but she could not imagine that her husband would shout loudly, and she seemed extremely excited.
Eleanor was frightened, he didn't know what was wrong with his husband, although his husband had been paralyzed for more than ten years, but he had a talking mouth and always showed a manly charm that made her unable not to love him, so he was worried that it was bad.
She had ever planned for the worst, that is, her husband would ignore her early, could it be that husband?
"Look at my legs!"
Roosevelt shouted.
Eleanor lifted the quilt and uncovered her pajamas, only to see that Roosevelt's legs were normal.
"Help me up!"
Roosevelt wanted to see for himself.
Eleanor helped him up, and Roosevelt tried to touch his legs, his heart heaving.
"Eleanor, you touch, my legs, my legs are not the same."
Eleanor touched it: "Soft?" No, it's hot! ”
Roosevelt nodded violently: "Yes, it's hot, that's right, it's hot." ”
Saying that, like a young man, he couldn't help but hug his wife and kiss him fiercely on the forehead.
Roosevelt woke up early the next day, to be precise, he barely slept, and last night he suddenly felt some numbness in his legs, and woke up like that, although the sensation soon disappeared, but he was sure he felt it.
I have been unconscious for more than ten years, and it is no coincidence that Chinese gave myself a few stitches and suddenly became conscious.
So he got up early in the morning and wanted to ask a Chinese doctor to see him, but he couldn't rush it.
Yang Chao also got up relatively early, and it is not practical to sleep in the White House, who knows how many conspiracies have been brewing here.
Roosevelt patiently held a half-day meeting with Yang Chao to endure his eagerness, during which the two exchanged views on Latin American and European issues, and Roosevelt said that the United States was willing to cooperate with China in the whole world, not infringe on each other's interests, and safeguard each other's interests to the extent possible.
The United States has been fighting openly and secretly with China in Brazil over the years, and has always been provoking Brazilian national forces to resist Chinese immigration, but it is a pity that in the era of agricultural oligarchs, these ethnic elements do not speak at all, at this time the national politician Vargas has come to power, but this is a very smart guy, later known as the father of Brazilian industrialization, is a great man in Brazilian history.
This kind of person will not casually confront a strong country, although in order to satisfy the democratic forces that support his rise to power, he promulgated an immigration quota, but this quota is as high as 3 million, which is not much different from no limit, and the United States attracts less than 3 million people every year.
Roosevelt's attitude was actually the intercontinental agreement reached between China and Britain back then, but the United States made concessions, they just regarded North and Central America as their sphere of influence, allowing China to share power with them in South America, and everyone cooperated with each other in this region.
Yang Chao believed that Roosevelt's proposal was constructive, and that China was very willing to cooperate with the United States, and at the same time was very concerned about the recent problems in Europe, to be precise, the problem of the German Nazis.
Yang Chao knew that the Nazis were already secretly rearmament, and it was impossible for Roosevelt not to know, because in the Nazi rearmament plan, a large number of American companies participated, such as Ford Motor, General Electric, Alcoa, and DuPont.
These companies were involved, and Roosevelt would not have known about it.
However, Roosevelt expressed a completely different view, he believed that the radical rhetoric of the Nazis was nothing but a kind of political propaganda, he believed that there was no government in the world that dared to violate the condemnation of the world and provoke war, and he said that the First World War was a war to end all wars, and there would be no more major wars in the world.
Yang Chao knew very well that Roosevelt did not care at all about the strength of the Nazis, and even deliberately connived at the strength of the Nazis, and American companies could get a share of the Nazi rearmament, and in the military industry of the Nazis, more than 90 American companies participated, and the stronger the Nazi military, the more money the Americans earned.
But is Roosevelt really in it for money, in World War II, he procured through the US government, and then leased weapons to European countries for use, obviously money is not the most important thing in his eyes.
He wanted to rearm Germany to achieve the goal of disturbing the Old Continent, and if the Nazis had a kind of war again, it would be better, if not, there would be one more power in Europe, the hegemony of Britain and France would be relatively weakened, and the strength of the United States would be relatively stronger.
As for China, after all, it is tens of thousands of kilometers away from Europe and the United States, so it is naturally impossible to be too close.
After talking, Tang Chengzhi naturally treated Roosevelt again, and Roosevelt inquired about his condition at this time, and responded to Tang Chengzhi that he briefly felt warmth last night.
Tang Chengzhi thought that this was a good sign, thinking that the meridians pushed by Roosevelt were soon being dredged, but Roosevelt didn't understand, and he didn't dare to ask at this time, so he actively cooperated with Tang Chengzhi's treatment.
The next day, Roosevelt really felt that his legs were slightly conscious, and they were not interrupted, and he even felt a slight pain in the needles Tang Chengzhi gave him that day, which made him excited.
Seeing Roosevelt's illness, Yang Chao suggested postponing the next activities of the two, Roosevelt originally planned to accompany Yang Chao to visit the U.S. Navy and Army, give speeches in Congress, visit universities, etc., these outdoor activities were temporarily canceled, Yang Chao said that it was more important for Roosevelt to receive treatment, and he was very willing to see a U.S. president who could go outdoors with him.
And his state is getting better and better, on the third day he completely regained consciousness, except for admiring the magic of Chinese medicine, he can't find other words to describe, on the fifth day he felt sour, felt powerless, feeling powerless is not a bad thing, bad thing is not even his own powerlessness.
On the sixth day, Roosevelt was awakened by thigh twitching in his sleep, and on the seventh and eighth days, the sensation of his thigh was restored in front of him, and he regained some strength, but he felt that his leg was weak and it was impossible to stand.
On the tenth day, Yang Chao's trip could not be delayed any longer, and on this day he had to give a speech to the US Congress.
The U.S. Congress is not as serious as imagined, and it may be a place where congressmen meet and work, but it does not refuse tourists, and often invites American celebrities to participate in official events.
On this day, Yang Chao came here to give a speech, and in addition to the US Senator and House of Representatives, there were many wealthy businessmen, philanthropists, pastors and university teachers.
Yang Chao and Roosevelt's motorcade soon stopped outside the Congress.
Then Yang Chao strutted with his head held high, and Roosevelt sat in a wheelchair.
Yang Chao was on the podium, standing next to the microphone to speak, while Roosevelt sat next to him with a smile on his face.
The topic of Yang Chao's speech was economic recovery.
"Some people say that the economy is going to be restored to what it was four years ago, it's just a fantasy, unless a miracle happens! But what I want to say is that miracles may not happen, but you need to find the eyes of miracles, maybe the miracle is in front of you, but you can't see it, this is sad, people who close their eyes and can't see reality are sad. I assure you that the U.S.-China cooperation will create such miracles and restore the economy to the prosperity of four years ago as soon as possible. And it's not something that goes so far, it's something that will happen soon, or even is happening, or even has already happened. ”
Saying this, Yang Chao suddenly stopped, walked to Roosevelt's side, and whispered a few words in his ear.
Roosevelt couldn't help but shake his head.
"Try, try, show them a miracle."
Yang Chao encouraged.
Roosevelt took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and pressed his arm down against the wheelchair, slowly lifting his body up.
The members of Congress suddenly held their breath as they saw that their president, who had not stood up for more than a decade, had risen with his arms, but he quickly let go of his arms and then trembled all over, but did not fall.
"A miracle happened!"
Yang Chao opened his arms and said loudly.
"This is the miracle, the miracle that has happened, the miracle that you close your eyes and don't want to see. You've probably heard about my doctor treating President Roosevelt, and you've seen it. If my doctor can help President Roosevelt get back on his feet, then China can help the United States get back on its feet! ”
As soon as Yang Chao finished speaking, Roosevelt, who still insisted on standing, suddenly turned black and fell into the wheelchair. (To be continued.) )
