Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 779 A Genius Among Geniuses, Casting a Long Line to Catch a Big Fish (Two Chapters Combined)
The girl who had just refused to speak in the dialect suddenly felt a pang of regret. She hadn't thought much about it before, just that there was a difference between men and women, and for the sake of her reputation, it would be better to find a female classmate to help her.

Now she realizes that things seem to be going badly.

I had a mental lapse and it seems I missed out on a great opportunity.

Putting aside what the girl was thinking, the others at the scene went crazy when they saw that Fang Yan hadn't made a choice yet, and they all told Fang Yan what would happen if they chose him.

Now that the dialect has gained the power to make the decision, it may be a bit of a headache for the time being.

The prescription is clearly putting him in a difficult position; who should he choose now?
Only one person can be chosen, and these people from Group C don't have any special skills.

Previously, these were all people who had never studied traditional Chinese medicine.

These days, it's impossible for them to showcase their talents in dialects first, right?
Thinking of this, Fang Yan simply said:

"So many people want to follow me, it's hard for me to choose, so let's just draw lots."

"Leave everything to luck."

Everyone was taken aback when they heard him say this. Although it sounded a bit frivolous, upon closer examination, it seemed to make some sense.

Since it's difficult to decide which dialect to use, let's just choose the one with the best luck!

Fang Yan then addressed them again:

"Luck is sometimes a part of ability!"

Upon hearing this, several students in the class who practiced traditional Chinese medicine had their eyes light up.

That sounds quite philosophical.

Without even needing to speak or lift a finger, the quick-witted Song Jianzhong immediately prepared the paper ball.

Now anyone who wants to participate gets a share, but only one piece of paper has writing on it.

Fang Yaozhong watched the group of people draw lots with a smile, showing no intention of standing up and saying anything.

Everyone eagerly unfolded the crumpled paper after receiving it, wanting to see what they wanted inside.

However, the probability was indeed quite small. Those who touched it first opened it and found it to be blank, and they all looked rather dejected.

Then a girl raised her hand and said incredulously:

"I...I think I've been infected."

After she finished speaking, she unfolded the piece of paper in her hand.

When everyone looked over, they indeed saw the character "中" written on it.

Those who hadn't opened their papers yet were already numb, eagerly unfolding the crumpled paper in their hands, as if expecting something that shouldn't be there to appear.

However, Song Jianzhong was very fair; there was indeed only one note with something written on it.

Fang Yaozhong addressed the crowd:

"Then things are clear: this student now has the opportunity to receive dialect tutoring."

After saying that, he asked the girl:

"By the way, what's your name?"

The girl was somewhat dark-skinned and thin, but her voice was very clear and crisp. She replied:

"Teacher, my name is Dai Shasha!"

Fang Yaozhong asked her:
"Okay, so Dai Shasha and Gao Yi have gotten the opportunity to be mentored by Fang Yan."

Dai Shasha clenched her fists, her whole body trembling with excitement.

She never expected that the opportunity would fall into her hands, and now the person she wants to thank the most is Qi Ningxiang, who just gave up.

Then he thanked his ancestors for blessing him with a great stroke of luck.

"Dai, you're a girl, don't you want to find a female classmate to help you with tutoring?" someone asked Dai Shasha at this moment.

Dai Shasha turned her head and said firmly:

"Excuse me, I didn't mean that!"

"..." The others who had tentatively tried to probe the matter were all choked.

However, some people still persisted and asked:

“Dai, why don’t you reconsider? I can actually give you some financial aid or something.”

"No, no, I won't consider it." Dai Shasha shook her head like a rattle-drum.

At this moment, someone in the crowd said:
"Alright, alright, let's stop thinking about these things, whether they're good or bad."

"They're not stupid. The opportunity to learn a dialect is so rare; only a fool would give it up."

"..." Qi Ningxiang, who had just given up, now felt like a complete fool.

She noticed that many people around her were looking at her with the kind of eyes that looked at someone who was mentally challenged.

"Oh, right, when I was reading the dialect materials earlier, I forgot to mention something," Fang Yaozhong said at this moment.

Everyone looked at him curiously:

"what's up?"

The prescription states:
"Fang Yan is still the honorary director of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine at Peking Union Medical College Hospital. Getting his guidance is equivalent to getting an internship opportunity at Peking Union Medical College Hospital."

"Look at me, I'm getting old. I clearly saw it in the documents, but I forgot about it."

"..." Everyone was shocked.

Fang Yan is actually the honorary director of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine at Peking Union Medical College Hospital?
The prescription continued:
"Because of his joining, the TCM office at Peking Union Medical College Hospital was changed to a TCM department. It is said that after discussions among the leaders at Peking Union Medical College Hospital, he was appointed as the honorary director of the TCM department some time ago. Although this honorary director does not participate in the daily management and administrative decision-making of Peking Union Medical College Hospital and does not bear any responsibility, he can use his experience and influence in his spare time to provide guidance, advice and support for the development of Peking Union Medical College Hospital, and play a role in the hospital's major activities and external exchanges and cooperation, in order to enhance the hospital's reputation and status."

"At the same time, the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine at Peking Union Medical College Hospital will not appoint a director of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine in the future. The direct person in charge of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine is the president of Peking Union Medical College Hospital. Fang Yan will maintain the actual personnel appointment and transfer of the department, and can participate in various daily work."

After hearing what Fang Yaozhong said, everyone understood that although he was an honorary director, he was still a director.

Because he was still a student, he was only an honorary director and did not officially assume all responsibilities.

At this moment, Qi Ningxiang finally couldn't hold back anymore, and asked in a tearful voice:
"Teacher, is it too late for me to back out now?"

The prescription states:
"Look at what you're saying. I made it very clear before, did I need to repeat myself?"

"You can refuse, but don't regret it."

After saying that, he didn't bother with Qi Ningxiang anymore, picked up the notebook in his hand and said:
"Alright, let's move on to the next person!"

"Li Zhengji's mentors are... Guo Deyou and Li Xingmao!"

……

After quite a while, the people in Groups A and B who were helping each other were all distributed.

The girl named Qi Ningxiang was assigned to be mentored by Lei Lian, the top figure in Group B.

Actually, it's pretty good in a relative sense, but she still feels like she's lost out big time.

Of course, her feeling was not wrong.

Her dissatisfied expression clearly displeased Lei Lian, who was helping her.

Qi Ningxiang, however, was oblivious to this and was preoccupied with her own discomfort.

Fang Yan didn't say much. Although Qi Ningxiang had just refused his invitation to mentor her, Fang Yan was still willing to help her if she could demonstrate medical talent in the future.

After all, Fang Yan came to the school to build connections and discover more talents in traditional Chinese medicine.

He wouldn't give up on Qi Ningxiang over such a small issue, but seeing her behavior now, Fang Yan honestly already had some opinion about her.

This girl's mind is a little different from most people's. It's not that she's stupid, but her logic of thinking is different.

Fang Yan couldn't say whether this was good or bad, but in any case, she would probably do a lot of things she would regret because of a mental lapse.

This situation might be manageable for some other industries, but it's quite dire for the healthcare industry.

If she can't change, then the doctors will probably have to advise her not to become a doctor.

Overall, the atmosphere was cheerful and lively. Although some people didn't get good mentors, they still tried their best to build good relationships.

Just like Gao Yi and Dai Shasha in this dialect.

The two of them now seem to follow the dialect's lead.

It all depends on how the dialect group arranges the first mentoring and learning session.

"Alright, now each student with no prior knowledge has been assigned a mentor. Next, your mentors can start creating learning tasks for your students."

"What I want to remind you is..."

"In the field of traditional Chinese medicine, if you have a foundation and someone to teach you, you can take some shortcuts, but the premise is that you have a good foundation."

"So I'm going to give you students who have no prior knowledge a task first."

"We will distribute the textbooks and teaching materials tomorrow. You should memorize the book 'Huangdi Neijing' first."

"Then, after getting the book 'Traditional Chinese Medicine Processing,' I was able to identify at least two hundred commonly used medicinal materials."

"As for the experience of feeling the pulse and examining the tongue, you will learn those very quickly later."

"Now, those things that need to be memorized should be memorized. I don't want people to have a poor foundation and make things difficult for the classmates who are helping them."

"Whoosh..." A small-scale panic broke out among the students who had just been assigned to mentor others and had no prior experience.

They whispered among themselves.

Those responsible for mentoring others shared their insights on the individuals they were mentoring:
"There's really no way around it, you really have to memorize it. When I was learning traditional Chinese medicine, I didn't memorize anything, but later I had to look up a lot of things in the book, and in the end I had no choice but to memorize it."

"You don't think traditional Chinese medicine is easy to learn, do you? I started memorizing it when I was a child."

"It's not difficult, don't panic."

"Actually, it's not difficult at all. I have a trick, it's easy to remember..."

"I was four years old and couldn't read, but I could already recite it!"

Some are at Versailles, some are offering comfort, and others are sharing their memory-enhancing tricks.

Fang Yan said to the two people beside him:
"Do you have any questions?"

“No!” Dai Shasha replied immediately.

Seeing this, Gao Yi immediately added:

"I do not have either!"

Seeing this, Fang Yan didn't say anything more. Both of them were very energetic and didn't seem to be frightened like some people.

At this point, Fang Yaozhong said:

"I've set a rule: the first task of the student who is responsible for mentoring someone is to check and supervise the person they are mentoring, and make sure they memorize the basic knowledge well."

"I believe that if you can get into university, you are no ordinary people and you will definitely be able to complete the mission."

Just then, the bell rang, signaling the end of get out of class.

The prescription states:
"Okay, take a break."

"We'll elect class committee members next period."

"Those who need to use the restroom, go to the restroom!"

The crowd dispersed, and as Fang Yan prepared to return to his seat, a group of people surged around him, greeting him all at once.
"Brother Fang!"

"Brother Fang! Brother Fang!"

"Brother Fang!"

"Brother Fang..."

"..." Fang Yan was completely surrounded from all sides, and Fang Yaozhong, who originally wanted to leave, was also blocked inside.

Fang Yaozhong addressed the crowd:

"Classmates, don't always think about using connections. Although Fang Yan is the head of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine at Peking Union Medical College Hospital, he still has his own preferences. Don't always think that you can get benefits by just making a few words! When you visit relatives, you still have to bring a couple of pounds of noodles, right?"

After saying that, he drove the crowd away:

"Alright, alright, stop crowding around them!"

Many people then dispersed, but of course, quite a few remained blocking the way in front of the dialect.

However, Yang Jingxiang and Zhang Yanchang shouted, "Hey, make way! The teacher said not to crowd around!"

Suddenly, the number of people around Fang Yan decreased. Then, Song Jianzhong pulled Wang Zhijun over, and the people around realized that they could no longer talk to Fang Yan, so they had to step aside and prepare to find another opportunity to speak to Fang Yan.

Song Jianzhong showed no discomfort at being selected as Group B; on the contrary, he continued to cheerfully introduce himself in the dialect:

"Brother Fang, this is Wang Zhijun!" He then pointed to Fang Yan and said, "This is Wang Zhijun."

"Come on, Zhijun! This is the local dialect, say hello quickly."

The two already knew each other, but Song Jianzhong acted as the middleman and introduced them to each other.

Fang Yan extended his hand to Wang Zhijun:

"Hello, Wang Zhijun."

Wang Zhijun shook hands with Fang Yan and said:

"I owe you a favor."

"Huh? What?" Fang Yan was taken aback and looked at Wang Zhijun with some confusion, not expecting him to start with such a remark.

Wang Zhijun said:
"The plaster you gave my grandfather is very effective; his foot is much better now."

Fang Yan suddenly realized what was going on, and then politely said:
"Oh, you mean this... Grandpa Wang helped me a lot back then, so this is my way of thanking him. You don't need to worry about it."

"Oh, okay." Wang Zhijun nodded and agreed, as if he was simply letting the matter drop.

"..." Fang Yan was speechless. Seriously, buddy, are you really that obedient to advice?
If you're so inclined to listen to advice, then I'll have to say something else!
“That’s just how Zhijun is. He doesn’t like to talk, he just likes to do things. If you need his help, Fang Ge, just tell him directly,” Song Jianzhong explained to Fang Yan.

I'd heard that phrase before, right before the last class.

But now it sounds different.

What Song Jianzhong was referring to was most likely "Wang Zhijun's User Manual".

Fang Yan tentatively said to Wang Zhijun:
"Wang Zhijun, how about we exchange some pediatric information sometime tomorrow? I'd like to trade my family's pediatric medical records with you. What do you think?"

"..." This question left Wang Zhijun speechless.

The people around were speechless. Wasn't Brother Fang being a bit too direct?
Exchanging medical records with others? We're not even familiar with each other yet, are we?

Will Wang Zhijun agree?
Just kidding, we need to spend some time together first, right?

After several seconds, everyone saw Wang Zhijun slowly nod in agreement:
"Row!"

This has left the people around them bewildered.

Dude, why aren't you following the normal procedure?
"Brother Fang, actually I can also do medical case exchanges," Song Jianzhong said to Fang Yan with a smile.

Song Jianzhong also planned to see what the He family's medical records were like.

Previously, his grandfather, Song Zuomin, had a high opinion of He Xiu, and if Fang Yan was willing to exchange, he planned to take out one of his grandfather's medical records to test the waters.

Fang Yan nodded:
"Okay, then I'll bring an extra medical record book tomorrow. But I read them pretty quickly, so could you bring a few more?"

Before Song Jianzhong could think of a reply, he heard Wang Zhijun say:
"can."

Song Jianzhong opened his mouth, surprised that his friend had reacted so quickly. He nodded:

"Me...me too! Brother Fang, I'll bring you a few more."

Fang Yan hadn't expected that his simple attempt would directly yield results from the medical records of the Wang and Song families. He said with a smile:

"Thank you very much."

"Mm." Wang Zhijun nodded.

"Oh, you're too kind!" Song Jianzhong waved his hand, acting as if he didn't care at all.

Only Meng Jimin and Deng Nanxing looked at them with a "you're finished" expression, knowing how powerful dialect memory is.

Seeing is the same as remembering, remembering is the same as learning, and learning is the same as mastering.

A learning ability that inspires despair.

He can devour a whole book before you've even read a few pages.

Song Jianzhong and Wang Zhijun were unaware of the terrible consequences of their actions.

"Are you all chatting?" At this moment, Xiao Chengzhi resumed his arrogant demeanor, walking over with a smile on his face, followed by his fellow villagers from Lingnan.

In addition, he had two classmates who helped him.

They were all following behind.

Fang Yan didn't let the "pretentious king" show off in front of him, and directly said:
"Old Xiao, I noticed you seemed a bit surprised when you heard about Li Zhengji earlier."

"You haven't had any dealings with him before?"

Xiao Chengzhi was slightly taken aback when he heard Fang Yan address him, but he didn't pay much attention to it.

He came here specifically to discuss this topic with Fang Yan.

Xiao Chengzhi glanced at Li Zhengji, who had returned to the back of the classroom and was still surrounded by several people, and said in a low voice:
"No, I'd never heard of him before. I didn't realize he was so well-hidden."

"He was taught by renowned teachers and even went abroad with them to work as an assistant physician. You and I can't compare to him in that respect."

At this moment, Yang Jingxiang, who was standing to the side, said with dissatisfaction:
“Just talk about yourself, don’t bring up Brother Fang. People from abroad come to him, that’s much more impressive than going abroad for medical treatment.”

"..." Xiao Chengzhi was somewhat speechless after being rebuked by Yang Jingxiang.

From the previous free clinic, Yang Jingxiang felt as if they were incompatible.

Fang Yan, who was standing nearby, said after seeing this:
"Oh, alright, alright, don't worry about these little details. Since they're being low-key, it's normal that you don't know them. Just go and get to know them later."

Fang Yan had already remembered Li Zhengji's identity.

This person was a prominent figure in the 1978 graduate class in the original history.

He received guidance from renowned traditional Chinese medicine practitioners such as Qin Bowei, Wang Mianzhi, Jiao Shude, Guan Youbo, Liu Bichen, Shen Zhitang, and Liu Fengwu, and has accumulated rich experience in clinical practice, teaching, and research in traditional Chinese medicine.

This person is not very famous in the country, but is very famous internationally.

He has made outstanding achievements in his international teaching work, and has been invited to lecture in many cities in Japan, including Tokyo and Osaka. He has also received a special award from the United States and has been hailed as one of the "miracle doctors" by Taiwanese publications.

Throughout his life, he learned from the strengths of various schools of thought and was skilled in treating difficult and serious illnesses such as rheumatism, gastric ulcers, and geriatric diseases.

And internal eye diseases, common diseases of women and children.

He has his own treatment plan for several of these conditions.

Many of the treatment options have gained international recognition.

He has expertise in many areas. With over forty years of medical practice, he has made significant contributions to the treatment of gout, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, sequelae of cerebrovascular disease, post-concussion syndrome, chronic gastritis, atrophic gastritis, gastric ulcer, duodenal ulcer, urinary tract stones, menstrual disorders, dysmenorrhea, postpartum diseases, pediatric anorexia, cough, and other conditions.

In his later years, he also conducted in-depth research on debilitating diseases and ankylosing spondylitis, and achieved satisfactory results.

They are the type of people who excel at whatever they learn.

In short, he's a genius among geniuses!
If it weren't for the dialect, the person Fang Yaozhong would have called up today would definitely be Li Zhengji.

This person is truly outstanding, and he has long been in the sights of renowned doctors.

He showed extraordinary talent at a very young age.

It was only the emergence of dialects that put him at a slight disadvantage.

But to be honest, even his dialect couldn't diminish his brilliance.

Anyway, when Fang Yan remembered this person, he only had one thought: to keep this guy in the country.

If he goes abroad later, it will definitely be a great loss.

After saying that, Fang Yan took the initiative to walk towards Li Zhengji's direction.

Seeing this, the others followed.

At this moment, there were also quite a few people guarding Li Zhengji's seat. These people were basically the same group that had surrounded Fang Yan earlier.

They didn't get what they wanted from Fang Yan, so they immediately settled for second best and tried to test the waters with the "number two" in the class. After all, if Fang Yan were excluded, this person was equally dazzling.

"Li Zhengji, nice to meet you!" Fang Yan came to the seat and cupped his hands in greeting to Li Zhengji.

Seeing this, everyone else quickly made way.

This is the meeting between the number one person in the class and the number two person.

What kind of sparks will they create?

Li Zhengji, with a serious expression, stood up and bowed to Fang Yan in the same manner:

"Hello, Fangyan!"

After finding a seat next to Li Zhengji, Fang Yan didn't get straight to the point like Wang Zhijun. Instead, he started with casual conversation, asking Li Zhengji:

"How old were you when you started learning Traditional Chinese Medicine?"

Li Zhengji, however, was quite receptive to this, his serious expression relaxing considerably as he responded in dialect:
“You started learning from your grandfather when you were old enough to understand things. What about you? I heard that your maternal grandfather is also a famous pediatric TCM doctor in Beijing.”

After speaking, he glanced at Song Jianzhong standing behind Fang Yan; it was this kid who had just said it.

Fang Yan shook his head and said:
“My maternal grandfather passed away early. I wasn’t as lucky as you. I came into contact with traditional Chinese medicine very late. I was a teenager when I was sent to work in the countryside in Jiangyou, Sichuan. By the way, it was Old Fan and his uncle. Their family were Taoist doctors who had returned to secular life.”

After saying that, he pointed at Lao Fan.

Old Fan cupped his hands and said:
"My name is Fan Changting!"

Li Zhengji rose again and clasped his hands in a gesture of respect:
"Li Zhengji."

The dialect revealed that this person valued etiquette very much.

And every time, I have a bit of OCD about it, I have to do it perfectly.

So this is what a homegrown genius looks like?
After Li Zhengji sat down, he looked at Fang Yan again and asked:
"What then?"

He said in dialect:

"Later I discovered that I was quite talented and learned things quickly, so I gradually learned a lot. When I came back, I even became an apprentice. My teacher just mentioned it, as you know."

Li Zhengji nodded:

"Yes, Mr. Lu from Xiyuan Hospital, he knows my grandfather."

Fang Yan was somewhat surprised, not expecting his master to have such a wide network of connections.

he asked:
"Hmm? Really? I've never heard him mention you before."

After carefully considering his words, Li Zhengji said:
"Old Master Lu is skilled in martial arts, but his interest is not in medicine, so we just know each other but are not very familiar with each other."

Fang Yan was both amused and exasperated, and nodded:
"That's true."

At this moment, Li Zhengji paused, then suddenly asked:

"I just heard that you, Fang, are treating a lung disease that Western medicine can't cure. Could you tell me about it?"

Fang Yan nodded with a smile upon hearing this:

"Sure, I'm actually quite interested in Professor Jiao Shude's insect medicine formula, as well as Professor Wang Weilan's methods for treating rheumatism... If you, Li, could exchange them..."

"Never mind then." Li Zhengji shook his head before Fang Yan could finish speaking.

"Huh?" Fang Yan was taken aback and looked at Li Zhengji in confusion.

He stood up and gave a slightly apologetic bow:

"Student Fang, I'm really sorry, but I can't share their medical skills without their permission."

"..." Fang Yan was speechless.

However, he wasn't angry. After all, if anyone asked him to teach "Cheng's Three Talents Acupuncture" or "Zhu Liangchun's Secret Recipe," he would have to ask if the old masters Cheng and Zhu would be willing.

However, Fang Yan did not leave immediately after the exchange failed. Instead, he said to Li Zhengji:
“I understand, but if you want to know my medical records, I can tell you.”

Li Zhengji was taken aback, not expecting Fang Yan to be so generous.

He was unaware that Fang Yan was trying to use people to promote aconite.

If you catch a genius, you should definitely instill some ideas in him.

In this way, the impact could be even greater.

However, Fang Yan could only teach him the initial steps of the "Special Heart-Saving Decoction." As for the subsequent treatment plan, Fang Yan had to keep something in reserve, mainly because this person had actually been abroad in the past.

It's not like a dialect is so foolish as to teach someone everything for no reason.

We need to lay out some bait.

Let him eat it first.

PS: The basic chapter of 6000 words has been updated.

I've gained 200 more monthly votes, so I owe you all another 4000 words. After finishing this chapter, I'll owe you 64000 words.

There will be an extra chapter later.
