Chapter 25 Wishes
Jiang Jianping sighed while dialing the phone: "Yes." The communication facilities here are very backward, and it is very inconvenient to make calls. In my motherland, the means of communication have reached the world's advanced level, and we will soon enter the 5G era. ”
Dutia, who has studied in China, agrees: "Your China's development is a miracle of the world, and it would be nice if you could bring such a miracle to my motherland." ”
He smiled happily: "With the close exchanges between my motherland and the vast number of Latin American countries, as well as the implementation of my motherland's Belt and Road Initiative, it is not a dream to build a framework for a community with a shared future for all countries in the world. ”
When they finally arrived at the foot of the Yetai Snow Mountain, the sun was almost overhead.
He reached out and wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, and asked Dutia beside him, "Are you tired?" ”
Dutia also shook her head while wiping her sweat: "It's okay, it's just that it's too hot." ”
"Oh, then you can take a sip of water. Otherwise, if you climb the mountain for a while, you will have no strength. ”
"Okay, you can take a sip too."
He took the bottle Dutia handed over and took a sip. However, when Dutia sat down to rest, he did not stop, but studied the vegetation along the foot of the mountain.
Dutia couldn't help but wonder, "Hey, aren't you tired?" ”
"I'm not too tired, so I took the opportunity to study these herbs at the foot of the mountain."
Dudia looked at him intently: "Doctor Jiang, I don't think you are a doctor now. ”
He immediately shifted his gaze from the vegetation under his nose to hers: "Dudia, why do you say that? ”
When Dutia saw his stunned gaze, she couldn't help but laugh: "Hehe, I think you're more like a botanist now." ”
Jiang Jianping suddenly opened his mouth to chew on a strange weed picked in his hand, then frowned, spit it out again, and asked humorously, "Have you ever seen Botany to taste what he studied?" ”
Dutia couldn't help but be dumbfounded: "Why do you want to taste it?" What to do in case of poisoning? ”
He looked nonchalant: "If I don't taste it, how can I know if it's medicinal?" Because I just feel it with the tip of my tongue, even if it is poisonous, it doesn't hurt me much. ”
Dudia was still afraid: "If it is really poisonous, if you don't swallow it in your stomach, I'm afraid it will kill you." ”
He smiled indifferently: "I still have the ability to distinguish poisonous plants, just look at its leaves and the smell it emits, I know that it will not cause me much harm." ”
Dutia still questioned: "It's not once or twice that I went out with you to pick herbs, how did I find out that you tasted wild plants?" ”
He calmly explains, "The herbs we used to collect were all species that I was familiar with. Now, if you want to overcome the problem of 'fishy fever', you must try other herbs that you have not been exposed to. Take your country K as an example, the vegetation here is actually quite rich, there are many rare plants that we do not have in China, and I will definitely find herbal varieties that are not found in the "Compendium of Materia Medica". ”
After all, Dutia had studied in China and knew about the Compendium of Materia Medica, but she was still puzzled: "Can you really find an herb to treat 'Fishy Fever'?" ”
He pondered: "There is a saying among the people of our country that wherever poisonous snakes or highly poisonous plants are produced, there will be plants that restrain these poisons. Take this 'fishy fever' as an example, it seems to be an endemic disease unique to your country K, so according to our folklore, there must be herbs in the region that can overcome this disease. ”
Dutia hastened to explain: "This disease is not only endemic in our country. There are also many cases in neighboring countries, but they are not as common as in our country. ”
"Haha, that's still centered on your country K. Then the source of the disease must be here. ”
Dutia stopped arguing, and watched as he carefully put a peculiar plant he had picked into a plastic bag, like a taxidermy, and stuffed it into his bag.
"Doctor Jiang, would you like to rest for a while? It's almost noon now. ”
He shook his head: "I'm not tired, now when the sun is at its fullest, I can identify some plants that I haven't even seen." ”
As soon as Dutia heard him say this, she had no choice but to stand up: "Since you don't want to rest, let's climb the mountain together." ”
He glanced at her, "Are you rested?" ”
Dutia smiled strongly: "I'm not tired at all, I just want to take care of you for a rest." Since you won't rest, let's go. ”
He smiled: "Yes, you are a young girl, and your physical strength is naturally better than that of a little old man like me." ”
Dutia was a little unhappy: "You have just turned forty, how can you be considered old?" ”
He sighed: "If I put my age here with you, I would really be an old man." This is because the average life expectancy here is less than 60 years. ”
Dutia couldn't help but feel the same way: "You are right. We are a country with both high births and high mortality rates. The health care here is so poor, it's up to the international community to help us. ”
While taking her up the mountain, he asked tentatively: "Then which country in the world do you think has helped your motherland the most?" ”
Without thinking, Dutia replied, "Of course it's your homeland." ”
He suddenly smiled proudly, but deliberately asked, "Can you say why?" ”
"Because you, China has not only paid a lot of financial and human resources for us, but also trained a large number of medical talents for the vast number of developing countries, including our country. I am one of the beneficiaries. ”
"Haha, my motherland's assistance to poor countries not only does not attach any political conditions, but also 'treats both the symptoms and the root causes', which is the fundamental reason why China, as a large developing country, can establish a good reputation in the vast number of third world countries."
Dutia nodded, "I agree with what you say. When the so-called Western democracies help our backward countries, they must first enforce their values. And you, China, have not inculcated your doctrine in our countries, and fully respect the ideology of the supported countries. ”
He couldn't help but sigh: "In fact, the relationship between countries is the same as the relationship between people, we must learn to be humble and never be self-righteous." If you want to be the king and dominate, it is even more undesirable to engage in that set. ”
Dutia's dark face suddenly turned a little purple at this time, and her tone was very shy: "I like China, I hope to be the daughter-in-law of Chinese." ”
When he heard her words, he couldn't help but be shocked, and immediately understood what kind of signal the other party was sending to him, glanced at Dutia with a shocked look, and then deliberately asked: "Are you willing to be the daughter-in-law of the Chinese?"
Dutia bravely replied: "Of course I do, and I hope to get a 'green card' from China." ”
He smiled dumbly: "With the deepening of exchanges with the world, we in China marry a lot of foreign daughters-in-law every year, but..."
Dutia was a very sensitive girl, and suddenly raised her eyebrows: "But what? Isn't there a black foreign daughter-in-law? ”
As soon as he heard that the other party was extremely smart, he suddenly guessed his heart, and couldn't help but be secretly surprised, and quickly covered it up: "That's not what I meant." Don't be suspicious, isn't that self-indulgent? ”
"Hehe, I'm quite confident, I hope you don't harbor racist ideas."
He said angrily: "Silly girl, if I had such thoughts, I would not have been here forever to relieve the pain of illness for the people of your motherland. ”
Dutia snorted in her nostrils, "Who knows if you are dealing with the responsibilities entrusted to you by the government of your home country, or if you are in your own sincere feelings?" ”
He was shocked again, and he was speechless, and quickly shifted his gaze to the grass along the way.
When Dutia saw that he was silent, she no longer chatted, but followed him forward with a lot of heart.
But his heart was not at peace, because Dudia's words had already caused ripples in his heart, and he couldn't help but ask himself, did he really stick to this country for almost two years, out of affection for this side of the people, or to complete his glorious mission entrusted by the motherland?
However, he immediately realized that when he first came to this strange place, everything was so uncomfortable, especially the taste of being away from home, which made him feel tormented, not to mention the longing for his beloved wife. But he is a soldier, and in order to fulfill the sacred duty of a soldier, he is willing to bear all this. However, when he came into contact with so many helpless patients in this strange country, a doctor's sense of responsibility made him devote himself to helping the poor and vulnerable people without hesitation.
When he smoothed these out, he couldn't help blurting out: "Dutia? ”
Dutia subconsciously let out a "hmm" and looked at him curiously.
He looked very excited: "I thought about your words just now, and now I want to tell you clearly." I am now able to stay away from my country and my family, and fight side by side with my international colleagues, out of compassion and love for the people here. I must find a TCM treatment for those patients who suffer from 'fishy fever' before leaving. ”
Dutia stared at him with adoring eyes, "Doctor Jiang, whether you can do this or not. On behalf of the poor patients, I thank you. ”
He knew that when she spoke like this, he still had great doubts about the fact that Chinese medicine could treat such incurable diseases in the local area, just like those international colleagues.
He didn't say anything more, after all, whether he can find a drug for the fishy fever virus still needs his own hard work.
