Chapter 987: Chapter 987: Paying Respect to a Famous Teacher 4

Guo Ming listened intently, nodding continuously as a sign of approval for Feng Qingxue’s attitude towards learning.

"Now I understand why you chose this path. Very good, very good. To study medicine, one must have a compassionate heart. Without it, you can’t learn. So you were the comrade who came up with the First Aid Technique. I heard about you from A’cheng." Guo Ming placed a stack of exam papers before her, "Take these home and do them. Once you’re done, just drop them off at your aunt’s place; we live close by. She can bring them to me."

"Rest assured, I will answer the questions seriously," Feng Qingxue said, taking the papers with both hands.

Guo Ming nodded. He trusted that Feng Qingxue would not cheat or cut corners, and thus he did not bother to remind her further. He continued, "Before you start the exam, I want you to take the pulse of everyone present, then report to me in detail about each person’s physical condition."

Feng Qingxue complied without any hesitation.

Lu Jiang held the exam papers for her, feeling greatly distressed. He was worried about her unstable fetal essence and her relentless effort despite it.

Even though she was not physically tired, it must be very mentally demanding.

She did not neglect any step of the four diagnostic methods.

When Feng Qingxue took Wang Xinsheng’s pulse, she carefully noticed that he had many old injuries. However, because they were well-managed, they did not negatively affect his health. Also, due to his high ranking and status, his diet was superior to that of ordinary people; his health was actually quite good. His only issue was a slight imbalance of the spleen and stomach, and insufficient liver energy, "Uncle, you should drink less. Smoking harms the lungs, and drinking harms the liver. Also, avoid cold foods. Have you recently been consuming chilled items which might not agree with your spleen and stomach?"

"No, no!" Wang Xinsheng denied immediately.

Wang Zhonghua raised his hand, "Grandpa is lying. He ate an ice cream yesterday, sneaking it! I don’t know about before that."

If Grandpa didn’t allow him to eat it, he had to bravely expose Grandpa’s lie.

Annoyed, Wang Xinsheng argued, "Huahua, you would be a traitor in wartime! Didn’t we agree to wait until the hot weather during your holiday, and then I would buy you an ice cream?"

"But I didn’t agree!" Wang Zhonghua found his reasoning quite sound.

Tired of listening to the squabble between grandfather and grandson, Guo Ming took Wang Xinsheng’s pulse himself, expressing approval of Feng Qingxue’s diagnosis, "Not bad, not bad. You’ve truly grasped the essence of traditional Chinese medicine. You’ve put in a lot of hard work over the years."

Next were Guo Yan, Lu Jiang, and Wang Zhonghua. Feng Qingxue took each of their pulses in turn and shared her findings with Guo Ming.

Guo Ming would also take their pulses to confirm her diagnosis. Although there were some areas in which Feng Qingxue still lacked precision, considering her age and the time she had been studying medicine, she was doing very well indeed.

She had talent and the willingness to work hard.

In an era where old customs and ideas were being overturned, it was rare to find someone willing to face challenges and learn traditional Chinese medicine.

Yes, if Guo Ming hadn’t been responsible for the health of the high-ranking officials in the compound, if he hadn’t integrated Chinese and Western medicine and performed several important surgeries that made him world-famous, many of whom had forgotten that he was actually trained in Chinese medicine, he would have been knocked down long ago.

Traditional Chinese medicine is also part of the old culture, which was being discarded, and many of the medical books he had collected had already been burned.

If things continue like this, the field of traditional Chinese medicine will surely face a decline in talent.

Western medicine does have many advantages over traditional Chinese medicine and is worth learning from. But traditional Chinese medicine isn’t inferior to Western medicine. Isn’t it better to combine the strengths of both? Why must traditional Chinese medicine be completely dismissed with one blow?
