Chapter 1008: Chapter 740: Striving for Change
He also couldn’t possibly make every single person sincerely accept Chinese medicine and believe in it.
But as long as the vast majority of people are willing to cast aside their prejudice against Chinese medicine, Xia Liang would consider that a huge success.
Today’s Baoya platform regulatory livestream, where they came into Xia Liang’s streaming room to collect evidence, could be said to be a huge win for Xia Liang.
A double success in one go!
Although the process had its ups and downs, and at the very beginning he was even bombarded with countless voices of doubt.
However, the final result was perfect!
Not only did he successfully turn Baoya platform’s vice president Ms. Chen into a loyal supporter of Chinese medicine, but Xia Liang also used his medical skills to once again shut up all the gossipers!
He let those netizens who had come over from Weibo and other news platforms see how powerful Chinese medicine’s techniques really are!
Xia Liang believed that after watching this livestream, the voices online questioning Chinese medicine would shrink a lot.
At the same time, Xia Liang also earned one-tenth from Chen Ran.
Adding in the tips from the netizens, he basically had two-tenths, but he didn’t withdraw it.
"Online Friends, today’s livestream treatment ends here. See you next time."
Xia Liang waved at the netizens in the streaming room, and ignoring their attempts to make him stay, directly turned off the stream.
After exiting, Xia Liang glanced at the time. It was already late. He went out for a meal, then went home to sleep.
...
And as expected, tonight’s livestream content was clipped by many netizens and posted on Weibo.
The sensation this time was even more intense than last time!
Because this time, the number of people watching the livestream was huge, and most of them came from Weibo.
There were even some big Weibo influencers who watched the entire livestream from start to finish and were directly converted into fans by Xia Liang’s medical skills and medical ethics.
#Chen Xia Chinese Medicine, truly on the rise#
This hashtag was pushed into Weibo’s top ten hot searches that very night, then in less than half an hour shot into the top five, and by the end of the night it had directly climbed to the number one spot on the Weibo trending topics chart.
Whether it was shares, likes, or comments, it had the highest numbers.
The topic’s heat was explosively unprecedented!
...
Qingyun City, Chen Family Old House, home of a Chinese Medicine Aristocratic Family!
The current Family Head, Elder Master Chen, was working with his son on revising the Chen Family’s monumental work, "Materia Medica Ben Gang".
Ever since last time when Xia Liang pointed out the errors in "Materia Medica Ben Gang", the old master and his son had been busy correcting some of the mistakes inside.
They had even specially held a press conference to sincerely explain the problems within "Materia Medica Ben Gang" to the outside world.
At this moment, after working through ten or so days and nights, the two of them had finally finished correcting all the issues inside.
However, as the old master looked at the new edition of "Materia Medica Ben Gang" in front of him, he couldn’t help frowning. Turning to his son, he asked, "Chengze, do you think that young man who pointed out the problems in our ’Materia Medica Ben Gang’ might actually know even more herbs?"
Chen Linjie frowned and said, "Impossible. Our ’Materia Medica Ben Gang’ is the condensed effort of several generations, and only after that did we finally compile the properties and medicinal value of two hundred and twenty kinds of herbs."
"He’s just a young man, how much could he possibly know?"
The old master nodded slightly, but still couldn’t help letting out a sigh.
All his life the old master had devoted himself to the development and promotion of Chinese medicine; now, in his seventies or eighties, his heart was still tied to the future of Chinese medicine.
Yet even if he exhausted his entire life, even with the efforts of several generations of the Chen Family, the contribution they had made to Chinese medicine was still insignificant.
They hadn’t been able to bring about much real change in the development of Chinese medicine.
They hadn’t been able, in essence, to clear away the prejudice against Chinese medicine in the hearts of the people of Chen Xia.
That was their regret.
"Dad, you don’t need to feel so bad. Chinese medicine has fallen into this awkward situation for a long time; it’s not something that can be changed overnight."
Chen Linjie hurriedly comforted him.
"Mm."
The old master nodded slightly.
Just then, a middle‑aged man with the look of a Butler ran in quickly.
"Old Master, Old Master, Family Head, big news, big news!"
The Butler burst into the living room, panting heavily, his expression a mix of joy and a faintly complicated emotion.
As a Chinese Medicine Aristocratic Family, everyone in the Chen Family—from the old master down to the Butler and servants—held a certain indescribable feeling toward Chinese medicine.
"What is it? Why are you in such a panic?"
The old master asked with displeasure.
"Big news, Old Master. Someone actually used Chinese medicine to cure infertility, pancreatic cancer, and even menopause syndrome!"
"This is really a divine doctor, and a young one at that. I think our Chinese medicine is really about to rise this time!"
The Butler used quite a bit of effort before finally getting everything he wanted to say out.
The old master rarely went online. His usual sources of news were things like newspapers, and most of what he read was news related to Chinese medicine.
So he had no idea what had been happening on the internet lately.
Moreover, Xia Liang’s use of Chinese medicine to treat patients via online livestream on the Baoya platform had only started in the last few days.
The time it had been fermenting online was still short, and it hadn’t yet drawn the attention of certain professionals.
But this time was different.
This time, quite a lot of ordinary people from Weibo and across the web had watched live, from start to finish, as Xia Liang treated Chen Ran’s menopause syndrome.
So the impact this time was enormous!
"Don’t rush, speak slowly. What exactly happened?"
Chen Linjie was stunned; he found it somewhat unbelievable and quickly asked.
So the Butler recounted the detailed course of events, from start to finish, without leaving anything out.
After listening to the Butler, the old master fell silent for a moment. His expression gradually turned somewhat angry, and his demeanor grew a bit agitated.
"Outrageous, absolutely outrageous!"
"This is utterly absurd. I, Chen Anbo, have studied Chinese medicine for decades; several generations of my Chen Family have practiced Chinese medicine, and never have we heard that Chinese medicine can treat such diseases."
"And yet a young man in his early twenties, with what qualifications and what ability, dares to use Chinese medicine to treat these incurable diseases that even Western medicine can’t cure!"
"Isn’t this a joke?"
"And he’s livestreaming it, causing a sensation on the internet."
"This is sheer nonsense!"
Chen Anbo pounded on the table in agitation as he spoke.
The status of Chinese medicine in the hearts of the people of Chen Xia was already riddled with prejudice.
The Chen Family and some other Chinese Medicine Aristocratic Families had always been working hard to change this situation.
Although the progress was not very impressive yet, they had already managed to significantly alter some people’s prejudices against Chinese medicine.
But now, such a person had appeared—someone using the banner of Chinese medicine to swagger around online and scam people for money. This was absolutely intolerable to him!
As the saying goes, the deeper the love, the harsher the reproach!
The Chen Family was a Chinese Medicine Aristocratic Family, blessed by Chinese medicine for generations. How could they watch someone damage the reputation of Chinese medicine and just stand by and do nothing!
