CHAPTER 1922: CHAPTER 1922: YE YAN’S BIOLOGICAL MOTHER 2

Feng Qingxue’s greatest gain in Shanghai was certainly the collection of some materials from ancient bookshops, concerning medicine. Some of these Chinese medicine books were mentioned by Guo Ming, but even he didn’t possess them.

One could say that this type of Chinese medicine book could be considered a rare edition, very possibly copied from a Traditional Chinese Medicine Family.

Some people don’t treasure their own belongings, but many so-called Traditional Chinese Medicine Families only pass down their unique expertise to their descendants. Naturally, rare Chinese medical texts are considered family heirlooms.

Although Feng Qingxue hosted Western medical surgeries, she never forgot to delve into Chinese medicine.

Thus, in the new year, she diligently worked while rigorously practicing calligraphy and painting, reading medical books exhaustively, and whenever she encountered perplexing content, she took time to visit her teacher Guo Ming at Jade Spring Mountain.

Guo Ming was old, but in this profession, age brings prestige, and he still took charge of the health of national leaders.

Doctors like Guo Ming generally lived alongside the leaders.

Living with Guo Ming were also highly skilled Western medicine doctors, all experienced and top-level national experts. With her astuteness, Feng Qingxue asked Guo Ming to facilitate introductions, visiting during rest times or assisting elder experts while they worked, seeking resolutions to her medical queries.

At this time, many elder experts were willing to promote young talents, with few holding miserly attitudes, plus Feng Qingxue’s novel perspectives proved to be thoroughly reasonable and mingled harmoniously.

In any case, within just over half a year, Feng Qingxue’s medical skills leveled up significantly.

In the past six months, Lu Jiang was very busy with one meeting after another convened continuously in the Capital, with plans linking the past and the future being published in reports until their former superior who opposed certain statements resumed work, leading many matters gradually back on track.

This former superior was Ye Zhengjun’s old superior, having experienced quite a few challenges over the years.

In early August, the former superior hosted a symposium on science and education, and Feng Qingxue had the fortune of attending the meeting as one of the representatives.

Although her current position was not high, remaining unchanged for countless years, she was an early worker-peasant-soldier university student after the suspension of classes, personally recommended to college by a deceased old comrade. After graduation, whether in her work attitude or outcomes, she performed exceptionally well, considered a typical case.

The former superior decided to restore the college entrance examination system, and Feng Qingxue naturally supported it wholeheartedly.

Her hand rose swiftly, even faster than Lu Jiang’s, prompting knowing smiles from those familiar with the couple.

The former superior asked why she agreed, and Feng Qingxue eloquently responded: "We are no longer in the past. Now internationally, modernization of strong nations is emphasized. To avoid falling behind and being beaten, we must empower ourselves. Science is the primary productive force. How does science come about? Education is the foundation. Without education, where would science come from?"

Feng Qingxue paused slightly before continuing: "Although I work in medicine, I come from the countryside; I understand rural situations. Take farming, for instance. Everyone knows threshing machines and harvesters are more convenient and faster than manual labor. The old farmer treasures the four words ’labor-saving and time-saving.’ Can ordinary people research threshing machines and harvesters? Can they make tractors? Without certain knowledge, they can’t. And where does knowledge come from? Learning. Junior and senior high school won’t have such courses. Only by opening the door to college entrance exams and the resumption of college courses can students acquire knowledge and become talents."
