547: Chapter 547: Traditional Chinese Medicine is Invincible 547: Chapter 547: Traditional Chinese Medicine is Invincible The delegation from Western medicine completed their cost-effective entrance and left the conference room amid the throng of media reporters to head to their resting area.
This showing by the Western medicine delegation was indeed impressive and dazzling, causing quite a stir.
The impact quickly spread across the country like a flood through these journalists and would soon reach every corner of the world.
America had clearly been planning this for a long time and launched a forceful attack not just to strike at the strongest opponent, Western medicine, but also to send out a resounding anthem to the world, proclaiming their intent to conquer global medical practice.
America’s ambition was indeed great.
In the conference room, only the twelve members of the Traditional Chinese Medicine delegation remained.
Tangyu walked in front of everyone and scanning the gathered doctors he said, “There’s no need for me to elaborate on the Western medicine delegation’s offensive that everyone has witnessed.
This time, Western medicine aims to achieve their goals by striking hard at us.
This is a challenge to our Traditional Chinese Medicine, and also a crisis we’re facing.
We are descendants of the dragon, fearless warriors, the most loyal proponents of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and we won’t allow anyone to violate our practice.
So, this time, only with the triumphant anthem of victory, can we resonate with the soul of our Traditional Chinese Medicine, promote our great practice, and win the dignity we deserve.
Yes, our opponents are formidable; they possess the world’s most advanced technology, the most cutting-edge equipment, the most developed research theories.
Everything is the most advanced at present.
But— it is precisely because the opponents are so powerful, that it highlights the profound depth of our Traditional Chinese Medicine.
I don’t believe that our five-thousand-year-old brilliant civilization would be inferior to their Western medicine of merely a century or two.
This is a crisis for our Traditional Chinese Medicine but it’s also a rare opportunity.
In times of danger, one seeks wealth; risks and opportunities often coexist.
Perhaps there is still a lack of tacit understanding among us, even discord, but we possess a common opponent and a shared goal.
So I hope we can unite and deliver the most dazzling blow of our lives.
Battle on!”
Spurred by Tangyu’s speech, everyone felt their blood boil.
“Fight!
Fight!
Fight!”
Tangyu’s gaze fell on Yu Zhaoke, who from the beginning had been disdainful toward him, his arrogance possibly even more intense than Ye Mai’s.
Tangyu said, “Yu Zhaoke, do you have something to say?
If you have any objections, speak now.
Once the competition starts, save your breath.”
Standing up, Yu Zhaoke retorted, “Who are you to wager the dignity of Traditional Chinese Medicine on your personal bet?
Do you not realize how frivolous you are?
What gives you the right to gamble with the dignity of Traditional Chinese Medicine?”
“Are you suggesting we’re going to lose?” Tangyu challenged Yu Zhaoke.
Yu Zhaoke replied, “I didn’t say we’ll definitely lose, but nothing is certain.
I have confidence in winning, but we’ve all seen the strength of the Western medicine delegation.
It’s not that I fear the ‘what if,’ but if we lose, you will be the sinner of Traditional Chinese Medicine.”
“So you are suggesting we will lose.
If you don’t have even that bit of confidence, then fine, you can leave.
My Traditional Chinese Medicine team doesn’t need cowards, doesn’t need someone like you who is lacking confidence,” Tangyu shot back.
Yu Zhaoke became furious, glaring at Tangyu and demanding, “On what basis do you label me a coward?
What gives you the right to call me a coward?”
Pointing at Yu Zhaoke, Tangyu declared, “You are a coward, a coward with no confidence whatsoever.
If you weren’t, then I’d like to ask you—how would you have responded just now to Nathan’s provocation and trampling on Traditional Chinese Medicine?
Would you have swallowed your pride, or cursed your parents?
Tell me.”
Yu Zhaoke fell silent, pondering how he would have responded if he had been in that situation.
Clearly, he couldn’t think of an appropriate retort.
“Zhaoke, Team Captain Tang is right.
We have no other choice.
His response was the best option,” Shi Naixin also chimed in, pulling Yu Zhaoke aside, while Bian Tong nodded at Yu Zhaoke, signaling him to drop the matter.
Tangyu continued, “Since you can’t answer, let me do it for you.
When someone challenges and tramples on our dignity, our only recourse is to fight back vigorously to defend our honor, to wage a battle for dignity.
And this time, we fight for dignity—for our own, and even more for the dignity of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
I wager the dignity of Traditional Chinese Medicine because we have no other choice.
If we don’t, our dignity will be ruthlessly trampled by the Western medicine team, making us the true criminals of Traditional Chinese Medicine, condemned by countless people.
Look at how many cameras are pointed at us; do you think we have any way out?
If we lose this time, everyone’s only choice will be to stay at home and never show their face.
When the narrow road meets, the brave wins; if you lack even this courage and confidence, it’s better you don’t stay here.
Leave early and avoid the risk.
Yu Zhaoke, I know you disagree with me, and you don’t respect me.
That’s fine, I don’t mind.
But be clear on one thing: I’m doing this for the sake of Traditional Chinese Medicine, not for myself.
Do you really think I enjoy participating in such a pointless Traditional Chinese Medicine versus Western Medicine exchange?
With that time, I’d rather be chasing girls.
The choice to stay or leave is yours.
If you stay, stop quibbling with me.”
Yu Zhaoke’s expression became colorful.
If he left now, he’d never be able to hold his head up again.
“I’m sorry, I was wrong earlier,” Yu Zhaoke said.
With a smile, Tangyu said, “Good, sit down.
Let’s fight together because we are the warriors of Traditional Chinese Medicine.”
“Clap, clap, clap!” Suddenly, the Chairman Bi started clapping as he walked in, looking at Tangyu with an approving and gratified expression.
In dealing with the situation, Tangyu had indeed managed it exceptionally well.
With the chairman clapping, naturally, everyone else began to clap as well.
“Well said, young people should have such boldness, all of you are impressive.
Fight on, I fully believe in you,” Chairman Bi said.
“Fight!
Fight!
Fight!”
“Alright, that’s enough for today, everyone can go back now.
Those who don’t want to go back can stay here.
There are still a lot of journalists outside, and if everyone goes out, it’s inevitable to avoid them.
It’s up to you how you want to answer them.
I believe you all can handle it.
If you don’t want to be disturbed, I’ll arrange for someone to escort you out,” Chairman Bi added.
At the entrance of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association, the media journalists were still waiting, and as soon as Tangyu and the others appeared, they immediately attracted the attention of all the journalists.
The journalists were indeed zealous and frenzied, lunging at them like wolves.
Microphones, recording pens, and cameras were all pointed at Tangyu; clearly, he was the focal point of the media’s attention.
Though others were noticed too, none compared to the majority of the media crowding around Tangyu, eager to interview him for firsthand news.
“Mr.
Tangyu, last time you were the hero of Linshan, and this time you’ve become the captain of the traditional Chinese medicine team.
Are you really a doctor?
Why haven’t we ever heard that you are a practitioner of traditional medicine?”
“Mr.
Tangyu, are you serving as the mere captain of the traditional medicine team, or as a key player?
To be honest, we all know that your Kung Fu is incredible, but we didn’t know you possessed medical skills.
Can you tell us about it?”
“Mr.
Tangyu, why isn’t Divine Needle Rao or Doctor Xiao the captain of the traditional Chinese medicine team this time, but you?”
“Tangyu, as the captain of the traditional Chinese medicine team this time, is there an inside story?”
“Mr.
Tangyu, what are your thoughts on the DHA5 Biomedical Remedy brought by the American Western medicine this time?
Does your traditional Chinese medicine team have any strategies to respond?”
“Mr.
Tangyu, you’re wagering the dignity of traditional Chinese medicine; have you thought about the consequences of losing?”
“With Western medicine’s fierce onslaught and bringing their latest technological achievement, DHA5, if this remedy is as miraculous as they say, it will certainly shock the world.
Mr.
Tangyu, how do you evaluate this?
Does your traditional Chinese medicine team still have the ability to compete with Western medical experts?”
“The decline of traditional Chinese medicine is an indisputable fact, and Western medicine is indeed very advanced.
I wonder if you agree with my statement, Mr.
Tangyu?”
“If DHA5 really is as effective as claimed, will it be introduced to our Huaxia Country?”
“Mr.
Tangyu, is this beautiful lady your new girlfriend?”
A flood of questions surged toward him like a deluge, nearly drowning Tangyu.
Furthermore, many of the questions were quite sharp and critical, with doubting tones, mocking voices, and more direct queries.
Reporters are inherently intrusive; they ask about things you could never imagine.
Give them an opportunity, and they could dig up every bit of your ancestry.
And among these media, it was obvious that a sizable portion favored the American Western medicine team.
The mentality of worshipping foreign things and pandering to the West is a flaw found in not a few people from Huaxia Country.
Of course, the media always need new and fresh topics.
Tangyu waved his hand to quiet everyone down, then with a smile on his face he looked around and said, “Let’s calm down first, I can’t possibly answer if you all ask like this.
I’ve heard most of your questions just now and I will pick some important ones to answer collectively, in the hope that you all can cooperate.
Regarding your questions, I will certainly be very cooperative and try my best to answer each person, but I only have one mouth, right?
With so many of you and so many questions, even if I answered nonstop day and night without eating or sleeping, I still wouldn’t be able to satisfy everyone, so I ask for your cooperation, thank you!”
Once everyone calmed down, Tangyu continued, “First of all, the reason I could become the captain of the traditional Chinese medicine team is because I have the ability, the strength to convince others to follow me, and the trust of the seniors of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association.
The East-West Medical Exchange Conference is a major event for both countries, not a play, so please do not doubt my ability, otherwise I will definitely give you an unexpected surprise.
As for any so-called inside story, that’s pure nonsense.
If I didn’t have the ability, it’s my own face that I would lose, not everyone’s.
Secondly, DHA5 is indeed an advanced remedy, but rest assured, we have our strategies, which I’ll keep confidential for now.
Please stop asking, you’ll all witness it soon enough.
Lastly, I just want to say ‘Traditional Chinese Medicine is invincible.’ Our Huaxia civilization of five thousand years, our millennia of traditional medical heritage, are profound and immense.
This time, I will bring everyone a shock greater than Western biomedicine, and not only show our people, but also Western medicine, and in fact, the whole world the invincible aspects of our traditional Chinese medicine.
Please look forward to it.”
Tangyu’s words clearly caused an uproar, and more questioning voices surged like a tide, but Tangyu did not respond any further and left under the escort of the security guards.
