565: Chapter 565: Traditional Chinese Medicine Invincible, Astonishing the World 565: Chapter 565: Traditional Chinese Medicine Invincible, Astonishing the World Tangyu actually had no other choice, and if there were even the slightest possibility, Tangyu absolutely wouldn’t want to use that last Immortal Pill, which was an amulet meant to save a life at a critical moment.
But under such circumstances, Tangyu had no other options, unless he was willing to watch the Western medicine team win with his eyes wide open.
Given only three groups of people, healing over one hundred and forty patients was obviously an impossible task.
To win, for the dignity of traditional Chinese medicine, and for his proclamation that Chinese medicine was unbeatable, he had to go all in.
Doctor Xiao’s gaze also fell onto Tangyu, lost in thought for a while, a trace of inscrutable light flashing deep in his eyes, fleeting and unnoticed.
The final results came in.
Both the Chinese and Western medicine teams had completely healed all the patients, and the time taken was almost the same, so it was really difficult to say who won or lost this round.
“Oh God, is this madness?
Please tell me, what did I see?
What on earth did I see?
The Chinese medicine team actually cured all the patients, that’s impossible, I still can’t believe it, even though it has become a fact.
Can someone tell me, what exactly is that ghostly thing?
Huaxia Country’s Immortal Pill?” Gleeful grabbed his head, refusing to believe what was before his eyes.
Nathan’s face was marked with solemn silence; even he hadn’t anticipated such a result.
The magic of Chinese medicine struck at his soul once more, with a shock that was incredibly profound.
The outcome was equally difficult for the Western medicine team to accept.
Mr.
Pia was so angry he almost smashed the cup on the table.
Without uttering a word, and even without waiting for the chairman to announce the results, he angrily left the venue ahead of time, leaving the Western medicine team behind.
The chairman and Ye Yuan shared a knowing smile, finally breathing a sigh of relief.
The exchange ended in a draw, but the ultimate victory still belonged to the Chinese medicine team; the outcome they had hoped for had been realized, filling them with immense comfort.
Their gaze inevitably turned toward Tangyu, the young figure who now appeared so great.
“Chinese medicine is unbeatable,” finally wasn’t just a slogan anymore but the most authentic representation of Huaxia traditional Chinese medicine.
And this statement, following the victory of this exchange, would be sung loudly around the world, sounding the most resonant horn, heralding the dawn.
The media reporters went crazy too, all cameras targeted Tangyu, snapping away wildly.
The members of the Chinese medicine team were all beaming with joy; the victory was hard-earned, the battle fiercely fought, and all this was mainly accredited to Tangyu, the one with the greatest merit.
“We won, we won!
Chinese medicine is unbeatable; it’s insane, so thrilling.
Haha, let’s see if Western medicine ever dares to look down on Chinese medicine again, it’s so satisfying, we can finally hold our heads high and breathe freely,” Zhaoke said excitedly, waving his fist.
“Captain Tang, please accept my deepest respects, I’m truly bowing down to you,” Shi Naixin said.
The Chinese medicine team also celebrated the victory prematurely, their joy was hard to describe.
Nathan walked over, approached Tangyu, and extended his hand, squeezing out a bitter smile on his face.
Tangyu smiled and shook hands with Nathan.
Nathan said, “Tangyu, I’m shaking your hand not to congratulate you on the victory of Chinese medicine, but to ask for another competition.
This round we can consider a draw; I don’t like draws, I prefer a clear win or lose.
So, I hope we can have one more contest.”
Tangyu shook his head with a smile, “Nathan, even if I’m willing, my teammates aren’t.
Besides, what’s the point of another competition?
If we win again, it doesn’t affect the outcome.
If you win, like you said, it’s still a draw; do you think it still has meaning?
Nathan, this is a friendly exchange; although we won against you, it doesn’t mean your Western medicine is worthless.
I just wanted to prove what I’ve said before: Chinese medicine is unbeatable!”
“Exactly, we’ve already won and still compete with you, we would be out of our minds,” Zhaoke said.
Nathan’s face darkened, and he shook his head with a sigh, “Chinese medicine is unbeatable, I have to admit, that phrase is not false at all.
It’s not my mistake, it’s the world’s mistake for underestimating Chinese medicine.
Tangyu, you are the most admirable person from Huaxia Country that I have met, and I believe Chinese medicine will change history because of you, and may even take its place on the world stage.
I believe that in the future, whenever someone mentions you, they will remember your immortal contribution to Chinese medicine.
Chinese medicine is unbeatable, and in my heart, you, Tangyu, are also unbeatable.
Having such a powerful competitor as you, I am not unsettled by the loss.
Anyway, you will always be a person I respect immensely; you will forever be my friend, as well as the spur and drive for me to move forward.”
Tangyu patted Nathan’s shoulder, “I actually admire you quite a bit too, the two Biomedical Remedies you’ve developed are truly formidable.
If they can achieve the effects you’ve planned for, that would definitely be a revolutionary epoch in the world of medicine, and your names will be recorded in history, creating an immortal monument.”
As the two complimented each other, everyone else could only look on with envy.
Their conversation and handshake were captured by the cameras, and many, many years later, that photograph and conversation were brought out as a lesson in textbooks.
“Congratulations, Tangyu, you won, your Chinese medicine won, we are convinced beyond doubt,” Nathan said.
Tangyu smiled and shook his head, “No, we haven’t won, and Chinese medicine hasn’t won either.
The only winner is medicine itself.”
The profound words of Tangyu also made Nathan pause, and not just Nathan, everyone did.
Indeed, in the context of Chinese and Western medicine, there’s no sense in talking about winning or losing; the true winner is the field of medicine.
This genuinely global showdown will undoubtedly propel the advancement of human medical science—that is the real victory.
This principle may be hard for some to grasp, but the reasoning behind these words encapsulates the cultural essence of Huaxia Country.
Nathan thought for a moment, then shook his head, indicating that he didn’t understand the meaning of Tangyu’s words.
Tangyu smiled, didn’t explain, and instead turned to all the media and said, “Could everyone please be quiet for a moment?
I would like a few minutes of your time.
There are some things I’ve been wanting to say.”
As soon as Tangyu spoke, the entire conference room quieted down, and every camera from the media reporters was focused on him.
Once the room fell silent, Tangyu cleared his throat and said, “Actually, attending this Chinese-Western medicine exchange was not something I was very keen on doing.
However, a highly respectable old man, our Chairman Bi, personally cornered me into it, so I accepted his invitation.
Of course, my initial intention was quite simple—I didn’t want to see Chinese medicine continue to lose and be suppressed.
I don’t have such grand ambitions, nor have I ever thought about glorifying Chinese medicine, because in my heart, Chinese medicine is invincible and I don’t need to prove anything to anyone.
But since I’m here, I won’t let Chinese medicine be denied the dignity it deserves.
After all, the blood of Chinese medicine runs in my veins.
Although I’m not particularly talented and have not made many significant contributions to Chinese medicine, every young person has their moments of impetuosity.
I came with a passionate heart, fearless like a calf facing a tiger.”
The words of Tangyu were simple and cordial, conveying his genuine emotions without flowery language.
This was not about singing his own praises; it was about speaking from the heart, earnestly and sincerely.
He paused before continuing, “The day before yesterday, I met my friend Nathan for the first time, a doctor I admire greatly.
His abilities are really impressive.
If we’re talking about accomplishments, I don’t even come close to a fraction of what he’s achieved.
To tell you the truth, when I first met Nathan, I felt the urge to punch him, that guy was so arrogant, looking down on Chinese medicine so much.
That’s why I made that statement: ‘Chinese medicine is invincible.’ Now that I think about it, it seems quite amusing.
I said it to voice a long-suppressed outcry of Chinese medicine against the Western medicine, not out of arrogance or pretense, but just to express something I truly felt in my heart.
Chinese medicine is vast and profound, filled with wonders.
The decline of Chinese medicine is due to many factors, which I do not wish to comment on.
I have been fortunate to meet these amazing Western medicine experts during this exchange.
Let me speak a bit about Western medicine.
Medicine has no borders.
Whether it’s Chinese or Western medicine, it all falls within the realm of medical science.
In short, any treatment that can cure illnesses is good medicine.
The treatment that can do so most quickly and effectively is the best medicine.
In many areas, Western medicine is indeed very advanced.
Of course, in many areas, Chinese medicine is not lacking either, just lacking proper application.
Heroes are not judged solely on wins or losses, and I hope more than anything that our medical practices can be promoted through this exchange, to develop faster and better.
That is the true victory for medicine.
Let’s not blindly argue whether Chinese medicine is better or Western medicine is stronger; that’s meaningless.
Please don’t come to interview me later.
I’ve said everything I want to say right here.
My speech is over, thank you all!”
The conference room was silent for a moment before a voice calling out in praise broke the silence, followed by thunderous applause.
Everyone capable of clapping stood up to applaud Tangyu, representatives of Chinese medicine, representatives of Western medicine alike, including Chairman Bi.
Chairman Bi walked over, looking at Tangyu with pride and said, “Well done, very well done indeed.”
“Chairman Bi is too kind,” said Tangyu.
Rao Yuanzhi watched Tangyu, always using him as a benchmark, weighing himself against him.
But only today did he realize the gap between him and Tangyu was not minor, nor was it just in terms of medical skill.
In every aspect, he fell far short of Tangyu.
One can only spot one’s own deficiencies by using others as a mirror.
The others now held even greater admiration and respect for Tangyu.
Even many years later, this admiration remained deeply etched in their minds.
Approaching Nathan and the others, Tangyu gave a friendly nod as a greeting to the group representing Western medicine, receiving friendly responses in return.
“Tangyu, thank you for what you said just now,” Nathan said.
With a nonchalant smile, Tangyu replied, “What’s there to thank?
I was only expressing my heart, and it was not because of you all.
Enough about that now, it’s over.
I hope I haven’t shaken your confidence.
You are actually extremely skilled, it’s just your misfortune to have met me.
Heh, just a joke.
How about we all have dinner together tonight?
Let’s have a drink and a chat.
What do you think, Nathan?”
Glancing at his teammates with an inquiring look, Nathan quickly received affirmative answers.
He laughed and replied, “When Tangyu invites, it is an honor to accept.
Haha, I’m starting to like your Huaxia language.
It’s so interesting.”
Chairman Bi also smiled and said, “Good, it is important for young people to sit together and share thoughts.
I’ll go arrange it right away.”
