Chapter 197 He Doesn’t Believe in Traditional Chinese Medicine
Qi Tongwei fell into deep thought.
He thought about how he had used all means to gain power and sold his soul for profit, and now he had ended up like this, perhaps he deserved it.
But if given the chance to start over, can he really turn over a new leaf?
As the night grew deeper, Qi Tongwei's thoughts became more and more confused.
He didn't know whether he should believe what the man in black said. What if this was just a prank or a trap?
However, in this desperate moment, he was unwilling to give up even if there was only a glimmer of hope.
Qi Tongwei opened the medicine bottle with trembling hands, and a strange medicinal fragrance filled his nose.
He hesitated for a moment, but finally poured out a pill and put it into his mouth.
The pill melted in his mouth, and a warm current instantly spread throughout his body.
The pain seemed to ease a little, and he felt a glimmer of hope.
However, this brief relief did not completely put him at ease.
He didn't know how long the effect of the drug would last, nor did he know if there would be any side effects.
The future is still full of uncertainty.
Qi Tongwei sat on the hospital bed, brows furrowed, his heart full of shock and confusion.
The appearance of the mysterious man in black and his words were like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, causing a huge uproar in Qi Tongwei's heart.
"Patriotism? Promote traditional Chinese medicine? What does this mean?" he muttered to himself.
Qi Tongwei recalled what the man in black had said about the infiltration of Western medicine and the plight of traditional Chinese medicine, and an inexplicable anger surged in his heart.
He has been struggling in the struggle for power and has never really thought about these major issues concerning the country and the nation.
But at this moment, these words deeply hurt his heart.
"Is it really God who is giving me a chance to start a new life? To let me do something for the country and traditional Chinese medicine?"
Qi Tongwei talked to himself, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.
But soon, this confusion was replaced by determination.
He thought of his past shameful deeds, and how he had used any means necessary to gain power and betrayed his original intention.
Now, perhaps this is a chance for redemption.
"If I can survive, if I still have a future, I must promote traditional Chinese medicine!"
Qi Tongwei swore secretly, his fists clenched tightly, as if he was grabbing the last straw of life, which was also a heavy responsibility.
Qi Tongwei began to consult various materials about traditional Chinese medicine to understand its history, theory and practice.
The more he studied, the more he was shocked by the profoundness of Chinese medicine.
Each of Chinese medicine's meridian theory, herbal formulas, acupuncture and massage contains the wisdom of the ancients and thousands of years of heritage.
Liang Lu widened her eyes and looked Qi Tongwei up and down, muttering, "How is this possible? How is this possible..." Her eyes were full of disbelief. She thought her husband, whom she was about to lose, was now standing in front of her in high spirits.
Qi Tongwei looked at Liang Lu's shocked expression, and a complex emotion surged in his heart, but he still maintained a smile, and there was a bit of mystery in that smile.
Liang Lu couldn't help but walk forward, reached out and touched Qi Tongwei's forehead, then pulled up his arm and examined it carefully, muttering to herself, "This is incredible. He was so sick yesterday, but today..."
Qi Tongwei gently pushed Liang Lu's hand away and said, "Lulu, I'm fine, don't worry."
When Liang Lu heard this, tears suddenly welled up in her eyes and she choked up, "Tongwei, I... I thought..." Qi Tongwei sighed and hugged Liang Lu in his arms.
At this moment, Liang Qunfeng also hurried over.
As soon as he entered the room and saw Qi Tongwei's appearance, he was so shocked that he stood there in a daze.
He circled Qi Tongwei several times, and from time to time he came closer to observe him, his face full of confusion and surprise.
"Tongwei, what are you doing?" Liang Qunfeng finally couldn't help but ask.
Qi Tongwei smiled slightly and said, "Dad, I'm fine now. It was Chinese medicine that saved me."
Liang Qunfeng frowned, obviously full of doubt about this answer: "Traditional Chinese Medicine? How could it have such a magical effect?"
Liang Qunfeng widened his eyes, staring at Qi Tongwei with a sharp gaze, and raised his voice by eight octaves: "Tongwei, don't fool me! How could you be cured by Chinese medicine all of a sudden when you looked so sick before? I think you are just pretending to be sick to evade some responsibility!"
His fingers trembled as he pointed at Qi Tongwei, and the veins on his forehead bulged.
Qi Tongwei's face flushed instantly, and he loudly retorted: "Dad, how can you say that? I was tortured to death by pancreatic cancer before, how could I pretend? How can you doubt your own son!"
His eyes were wide open, full of grievance and anger.
"Humph!"
Liang Qunfeng snorted coldly and folded his hands across his chest. "Western medicine has scientific testing methods and precise surgical treatments. That's the real way to cure diseases and save lives. Chinese medicine? What definite effects can those herbs and acupuncture have? They're just quackery!"
As he spoke, he kept shaking his head, his face full of disdain for Chinese medicine.
Qi Tongwei took a sudden step forward and said excitedly: "Dad, you are prejudiced! Traditional Chinese medicine has been passed down for thousands of years and it has its profoundness. I am a living example. Traditional Chinese medicine has restored my health by regulating my body. You can't deny it completely just because you don't understand it!" His voice echoed in the room with firmness and determination.
Liang Qunfeng was so angry that he stamped his feet and shouted, "What do you know? The advanced technology of Western medicine can directly remove the lesion and solve the problem quickly. Traditional Chinese medicine is slow and unreliable!"
Qi Tongwei did not back down either. He waved his arms and said loudly: "Chinese medicine focuses on overall conditioning and fundamentally solves the cause of the disease, while Western medicine often only treats the symptoms and not the root cause, and it also brings many side effects!"
Neither of them gave in, and the quarrel became louder and louder.
Liang Qunfeng's face flushed red, and his breathing became rapid. "You are possessed by a ghost! You have been fooled by Chinese medicine!"
Qi Tongwei glared at him, "Dad, you are stubborn! You are unwilling to accept new things!"
The atmosphere in the room was extremely tense at this moment, as if it would explode at any moment.
Liang Qunfeng panted, his eyes full of anger, "I think you have been brainwashed by Chinese medicine, and you don't even have basic judgment!"
Qi Tongwei gritted his teeth, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, "Dad, you are ignorant and misunderstand Chinese medicine!"
The two of them argued back and forth, neither could convince the other, and their voices almost blew the roof off.
Liang Qunfeng's body was shaking slightly with anger, and Qi Tongwei's hands were clenched into fists, as if he could swing them out at any time.
At this moment, Liang Qunfeng suddenly covered his chest and his face turned pale.
Qi Tongwei was shocked when he saw this, and temporarily forgot about the quarrel. He quickly stepped forward to support Liang Qunfeng, "Dad, what's wrong with you?"
