CHAPTER XLIII
Kunming, a private courtyard, in the cool breeze of the courtyard, the sound of crickets in summer and autumn comes and goes, and occasionally a few autumn cicadas are noisy, adding some atmosphere. Several people were sitting under a large banyan tree with a well-developed canopy and leafy branches.
"Mr. Zou, I think you should know very well. This medical accident has made it difficult for you to continue to stay in Ganmei Hospital, or even any hospital in the whole of Yunnan. ”
Sitting on the small bamboo chair, Zhang Shusheng pinched the small teapot in his hand and took a sip beautifully. Zou Shuming, on the other side, had just come back from the hospital, wearing a tie suit, with a depressed face, and he hadn't even changed his clothes before he met these three visitors.
There were several salutes in the courtyard, and a very young and knowledgeable woman, wearing a small cheongsam, stood next to him, looking like she was waiting for Zou Shuming to come back and move.
Without these three uninvited guests, maybe they would have called a rickshaw and were ready to go out!
He is a surgeon at the well-known Ganmei Hospital in Kunming. Ten minutes earlier, he had just received a letter of dismissal from the hospital that he had anticipated.
The vast majority of the French doctors in this French-run hospital are foreign doctors, and the purely Western medical system seems to have set up barriers to entry for Chinese doctors from the beginning.
Zou Shuming lowered his head and sighed, the person in front of him, who claimed to be the head of the Xiaoqingshan People's League, actually invited himself to preside over the establishment of Shusheng Hospital when he was at his most depressed, young man, it seems that he does not know the difficulty of establishing a hospital in the Western medical system.
"Mr. Zhang, there is nothing wrong with our family Shuming, and it is not that the medical skills are not perfect, that patient was originally a dead horse as a live horse doctor. Shu Ming He graduated from ......"
"Enough!" Zou Shuming raised his hand to stop his wife from explaining for himself, he didn't need to explain, the death of the patient from a famous family was the biggest fact, even if it was a hospital opened by a Frenchman, he could be dismissed as a punishment, which was already the best result of Dean White's efforts.
Born in a family of traditional Chinese medicine, he studied at Harvard Medical School in Shanghai, and was recommended to study at Harvard Medical School in the United States because of his high medical talent, majoring in the Department of Cell and Biology, and concurrently studying clinical medicine. In 1917, he returned to China after completing his studies and worked at the French Ganmei Hospital. ”
Zhang Shusheng said this string of information with a smile, but there was a bit of respect in his tone, yes, at this time, if he can be admitted to Harvard Medical School, or study cell and biology, such a talent will actually return to China, and Zou Shuming is worthy of admiration for this.
"Mr. Zhang, your message is very accurate." Zou Shuming smiled bitterly, as if he was a little surprised, "I am not good at learning and art, and when I returned to China, I originally wanted to use Western medicine to treat my parents and fellow villagers, but I didn't expect such a big leak." Why, you still insist on hiring me to preside over the construction of a Western medicine hospital. You know, that's going to be a huge investment. ”
Listening to his frank words, Zhang Shusheng was even more respectful, "The hospital can be established step by step." Western medicine can be recruited from Shanghai, Guangzhou and Hong Kong slowly, there is no microscope to buy, no operating room can be built, there is no blood bank, I Zhang Shusheng can take the lead in donating blood......"
"...... like this" Zou Shuming was a little moved, with an inquiring tone, "Head Zhang, although I know that the militia is also a reputable and more formal military organization, although I work as a doctor in a hospital, my research direction is in the field of cells and biomedicine, and what I am best at is not hospital co-ordination and management. And I just received a letter from a bacteriology supervisor in the United States, inviting me to go to the United States and join a bacteriological laboratory. ”
"But you don't want to leave China, you still have the hope of showing off what you have learned, right?" Like most of the students who returned to China during this period, Zou Shuming is indeed a good bird and difficult to live, but he always holds hope, which led to the later stabilization of the situation and a large number of people returning to China. What is a Bacteria? Bring in hundreds of Chinese at random, and one knows that it is a good thing.
And even being a chief surgeon has encountered this unfortunate thing, this year's patients, will not be reasonable with you to stay in the United States, this year only money and power are reasonable, "Don't worry!" Cells are the most basic building blocks of the human body, right? Although I have never stayed abroad, I still studied in Shanghai for a few years, and I may have passed by Yuyuan Road a few times, where Mr. Zou once studied. In short, the future work will not make Mr. Zou feel like playing the piano to the cow. This time I went to Xiaoqingshan, and you will have an unexpected surprise. ”
Zhang Shusheng smiled mysteriously, of course it was a surprise, although the invention of penicillin was a company, it would rely on the hands of this patriotic medical scientist surnamed Zou.
To put it bluntly, I was lucky to meet a high-end medical talent who returned to China. And Zou Shuming's luck is that he will be famous at home and abroad because of himself.
"Mr. Zou, as a genius, I understand you and know that you must have suffered a lot abroad. Maybe they also say that Chinese are not naturally good at Western medicine, and only those pots and jars of Chinese medicine, right? Zhang Shusheng asked with a smile, Orientals, especially specific to Chinese, are comprehensively and industry-wide discriminated against by Westerners.
"How do you know? This really made me angry when I was at Harvard Medical School. Zou Shuming, who had already made up his mind, ignored his wife's suspicions, and recalled self-deprecatingly: "That year, I took the lead in completing a cell division experiment, and I was ridiculed by several French classmates, saying that the professor helped me complete it, hehe...... Speaking of which, I am not afraid of Captain Zhang's jokes, but the entire Harvard Medical School back then, even another Chinese, one himself, doubted me. And the only person who believed in me was my bacteriology mentor, who described me as a genius who had come from the East, and of course, he also wanted me to go back and continue working under him! ”
Zhang Shusheng nodded, put down the small teapot of purple sand, and said in an extremely affirmative tone: "Believe me, in less than two years, all your classmates, including your mentor, will be ashamed of their short-sightedness and despicable behavior at the beginning. And I will do my best to help you develop our own medical system for Chinese and develop the strongest cell and biological sciences in the world. ”
"Shuming ......"
Zou Shuming's wife seems to be very worried about this Xiaoqingshan town in Huize County, which she has never heard of. Although he is not a scientific person, he was born in the West since he was a child, has a master's degree in linguistics, and is proficient in Chinese, English, German and French Chinese, otherwise he would not be worthy of Zou Shuming. But when I went to Xiaoqingshan, what could I do?
"Head Zhang, this is Hua Yuwei, she is Chinese, graduated from Columbia University, and studied linguistics." Zou Shuming said apologetically, his wife is not an unreasonable person, she can follow her back to China, in fact, it is already very reasonable, she is considered a patriotic Chinese, but she is worried that her two careers will be affected.
Philology? Talents, especially rare language talents who are native speakers of Chinese, although there are foreign language teaching materials in their schools that fully meet the needs of the times, but there is a lack of senior language teachers, and even several teachers recruited from the coast are still at the level of alphabet teaching, and follow-up grammar and oral teaching, especially need real experts, "Mr. Zou, since Xian Neizhu is a language talent, it is just right to go to Xiaoqingshan." I just hired a man of great virtue a few days ago, and I am going to preside over the establishment of a university that has been planned for a long time with him at the head. ”
"University? You, are you really willing to invest so much money? It's a hospital and a university, and it's hard for Zou Shuming to imagine how much action this militia leader has, "I don't know which virtuous person it is?" ”
"Yuan Jiagu!"
"It's him!! This man is indeed highly respected. Zou Shuming nodded, he didn't expect that this young head of the regiment would even invite Yuan Jiagu, who grew up listening to his stories when he was young.
"Shuming, who is Yuan Jiagu?" "He is the only champion of the late Qing Dynasty in our Yunnan, and he is from a special economic department." “……”
"Mr. Zou, when you go to Xiaoqingshan, you won't feel lonely, because there, there is more than one patriotic scholar who has returned from studying abroad." Zhang Shusheng took out a bill of exchange, a bill of exchange with a limit of 200,000 US dollars, and showed it to Zou Shuming, "As the start-up capital of hospitals and research centers, this money may not be enough, but it will be the first investment." ”
Zou Shuming smiled happily and pointed to the pile of salutes, "Head Zhang is so bold, Shuming can go back to Xiaoqingshan with you at any time." ”
