The University of Tokyo Hospital, changing room in the operating room.

"Takahashi-kun, what's the matter, are you going to China?" Sasaki greeted Takahashi.

Takahashi responded: "I will leave at the beginning of next month for a three-month clinical observation." ”

"Takahashi-kun, since you came back from China, your whole person has changed, you lack the arrogance and self-confidence you used to have, and I suspect that you have some kind of paranoia in your judgment of certain things."

Sasaki is a little incomprehensible to this senior, since he came back from China, he has always been cautious in what he says and does, and he seems very modest everywhere, and he is arrogant and confident before, judging the two of them.

"Sasaki, if it was you at that time, you would be like this, and one day you will understand me." Takahashi didn't want to explain.

If you haven't been completely defeated by your opponent, you will definitely have illusions and can't really appreciate the strength of your opponent, especially if you were once on top of the world.

"Mr. Fujiwara's decision is also a bit inexplicable, we still need to learn from an unknown Chinese hospital?" Sasaki was full of complaints.

Sasaki is two years younger than Takahashi, and it is widely accepted that he is more talented than Takahashi, who is at the pinnacle of trauma surgery and less involved in other subspecialties.

Unlike Sasaki, he is not satisfied with trauma surgery, but also has a wide range of spine, joint and sports medicine.

The future successor to Fujiwara Masao is likely to be Sasaki, and even Takahashi himself has to admit that this junior's momentum overwhelms him.

Sasaki has also seen Yang Ping's surgery video, but a video, no matter how conceited he can't convince him, he will always fantasize that he is much better than Takahashi, and what Yang Ping can do, he can also complete.

"Fujiwara-sensei!"

Takahashi and Sasaki saw Fujiwara Masao coming in at the same time and immediately greeted them respectfully.

Fujiwara Masao wore a blue hand gown and took off his mask and hat: "Takahashi, this trip to China is a very precious opportunity, remember that the best way to become a strong man is to learn from the strongest and bravely face the strong in order to defeat him." ”

"Understood!" Takahashidate bowed.

Sasaki is very obedient on the surface, but he is not convinced in his heart, and he is a little dissatisfied with the teacher's logic, aren't we strong?

Dissatisfied is dissatisfied, Sasaki and Takahashi are equals, and they can communicate without fear, in front of Fujiwara Masao, Sasaki will never dare to say what he just said.

"Mr. Fujiwara! Director Tottori is in trouble with surgery for an upper cervical spine tumor and needs his husband's support. ”

Someone chased him to the locker room, but Fujiwara Masao hadn't taken off his clothes yet, and followed the messenger out of the locker room.

"Takahashi-kun, you are the boxing champion of the world, I'm afraid you will be beaten." Sasaki couldn't help but say more.

"It's not a contest between Tyson and Holyfield anymore." Takahashi was helpless.

Sasaki teased: "What's that?" ”

"If you and I were Tyson and Holyfield, and the other one was the Hulk?" Takahashi finally found a metaphor, though not very apt.

Sasaki almost burst out laughing: "It's funny! ”

If he didn't have this sentence, he would have tried to understand it, and with this sentence, he could conclude that Takahashi was guilty of some kind of mental illness.

Takahashi didn't have time to explain to Sasaki that one day, he would experience it for himself, and he really hoped that Sasaki would go with him this time, so that he could see with his own eyes what the best surgeon in the world was like.

Takahashi was in a hurry, so he made an appointment with his Chinese teacher after work to strengthen his language before going abroad, and since returning from China, he inquired several times and found an excellent Chinese teacher.

The teacher, a Chinese student at the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Tokyo, engaged in molecular biology research, made Takahashi pass the Chinese test in just four months.

Of course, Takahashi's high talent is also the reason, but the teacher's teaching method is really efficient.

For this, Takahashi has already paid 20 million yen in tuition, which is worth the money.

The teacher started by teaching him Hanyu Pinyin, using dozens of letters, mastering the pronunciation of Chinese, and then giving him a set of teaching materials and some Chinese character cards.

This set of textbooks is a 4,000-word rhyme, without a single word of repetition, and with this rhyme, Takahashi mastered 4,000 commonly used Chinese characters in a month.

Next, the teacher arranged reading and listening training, and the language training lasted for four hours every night, which never stopped, allowing Takahashi to overcome the language barrier.

He used to think that Chinese was the most difficult language in the world to learn.

But now, he feels that Chinese is the easiest language in the world, because as long as he masters these 4,000 words, he can read almost all texts without barriers.

Now, he's going to strengthen his medical vocabulary.

It's much easier than English, where every medical word is a word and has nothing to do with it.

The wonder of the Chinese language is that they only use these 4,000 Chinese characters, using some kind of logical relationship, to form an infinite vocabulary.

For example, the liver, spleen, kidneys, lungs, and heart are all organs, and most of them have moon characters symbolizing the human body in front, which can be recognized at a glance.

"Hello Mr. Tang, I am going to China next month, and I want to strengthen my Chinese learning." Takahashi shakes hands with the teacher.

This is a night school, and Mr. Tang is only a part-time teacher here.

Takahashi arrived at the classroom on time, and he purchased one-on-one instruction.

"This is an example of a Chinese case I prepared for you, which contains not only the course of the disease record, but also the surgical record and the examination report, and what you need to strengthen is the reading of these materials." Mr. Tang gave the sorted materials to Takahashi.

Mr. Tang is a very young man, studying for a PhD in molecular biology at the University of Tokyo, teaching Chinese in his spare time and earning some living expenses, which is much better than brushing dishes.

Takahashi is currently his biggest customer, and this doctor's customer, who is generous, once made Mr. Tang think that he had encountered a liar in Tokyo.

Like a schoolboy, Takahashi leaned on his desk, reading the case carefully.

As someone who usually eats a bento while standing up, I definitely don't waste a minute of my time.

Four hours a day, from seven to eleven o'clock in the evening, if he was late for special reasons, he stayed up until one or two o'clock in the morning, and he also had to complete four hours of study.

Of course, if so, the training fee is doubled.

Takahashi was worried that the teacher would extend his teaching time because of the tuition problem, and he promised that he would pay an extra tuition fee for each month in advance, which would go directly to the teacher.

Mr. Tang did his best to teach each other, and in four months, he mastered the Chinese proficiently.

If you don't understand the words you don't understand, Takahashi marks them with a pencil, and every time you read a case, Mr. Tang will explain it carefully, and Takahashi will take notes carefully.

"Teacher, thank you for your careful teaching, please accept my sincere thanks!" Takahashi bowed seriously.

The teacher returned the salute, Takahashi bowed again, the teacher returned the salute, Takahashi bowed again-

Forget it, the teacher didn't return the salute anymore, and Takahashi stopped bowing.

"Teacher, what should I call Dr. Yang according to Chinese customs?" Takahashi decided to figure it all out before he set off.

"It's best to call Professor Yang, it's more formal and respectful." Teacher advice.

"If I go to China, can I keep in touch with my teachers and ask for advice if I have any language or cultural questions? I am willing to pay the corresponding consultation fee. "Takahashi is well thought out.

"Of course, we can calculate the consultation fee by the hour, and if it is less than an hour a day, it can also be calculated by one hour." The teacher agreed, and he really wanted Takahashi to study for a few years, preferably until he graduated with a doctorate.

With the teacher's approval, Takahashi became more confident, and he thought about it, what else to ask the teacher.

"Also, what are your suggestions for socializing?" Takahashi asked.

The teacher thought for a moment: "You are only studying for three months, and you should remember some simple rules: work more and talk less; Hear the order and act immediately; Drink and clink glasses, and the glass is a little lower than the other person; Going out to eat collectively and rushing to pay the bills; Drink crisply and refreshedly, without excuses to procrastinate; If you live in a dormitory, you don't bite and snore when you sleep at night—"

Takahashi blushed: "Except for the last one, everything else can be done." ”

"Then try your best, if you snore, apologize to your roommate the next day." The teacher is very professional, and everything that should be thought of has been thought of.

"It's time, it's time to get out of class."

It ended at eleven o'clock today, and it was very punctual.
