Chapter 1291 Zeng Yunhui Becomes a Disciple
After Xiao Jinghuai's 100-day celebration, everyone left Kyoto one after another.
Chen Yang's focus has shifted back to the construction of the new campus of Kyoto International Medical Center.
With the graduation ceremony coming to a successful close, the trainees of the special training program made their own choices – 21 decided to stay in Kyoto and join the construction team of the new campus; the other seven returned to their original units.
Li Haofei, Liu Xi, and Wu Mengmeng all went home once to arrange some things before returning to Kyoto.
In early October, Kyoto International Medical Center held a special meeting on the planning of its new campus.
The conference room was full of people, including management such as Chen Yang, Gao Anliang, and Xiao Jingyun, as well as young key personnel such as Zhuang Qiwen, Yu Shiyun, Xia Hongliang, and Zeng Yunhui, and surgical experts such as Zhong Dongyang, He Yonghua, and Qu Haoran.
"Everyone, please take a look at the planning proposal in your hands."
Gao Anliang turned on the projector: "This is the third version of the plan after incorporating everyone's suggestions. The total building area of the new campus is twice that of the current site, and it is divided into four major sections: medical area, research area, rehabilitation area, and living area."
Chen Yang continued, "The medical area is our core. Following the ideas discussed last time, we will establish four pillars: a Traditional Chinese Medicine Classical Treatment Center, a Collaborative Center for Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine, an Emergency and Critical Care Surgery Center, and a Rehabilitation and Disease Prevention Center."
"The research area includes a base for compiling folk experience, a research center for the standardization of traditional Chinese medicine, and a laboratory for the research and development of new drugs. The rehabilitation area will build the first 'Traditional Chinese Medicine Themed Rehabilitation Park' in China, integrating the cultivation of Chinese medicinal herbs, rehabilitation training, and psychological therapy."
Yu Shiyun raised her hand and asked, "Director Chen, does Professor He Wenliang have any specific suggestions regarding the base for compiling folk experience?"
"Mr. He just sent the plan over yesterday."
Chen Yang pulled out another document: "He suggested establishing a 'Digital Platform for Folk Medical Records' to use modern technology to preserve and organize the prescriptions and techniques scattered among the people. At the same time, he suggested establishing a 'Folk Traditional Chinese Medicine Certification Committee' to invite respected senior experts to participate in the review and to give official certification to folk doctors who are truly skilled."
Xiao Jingyun nodded: "This is a good idea. It respects grassroots experience while ensuring standardization. I suggest that the certification committee should include representatives from different schools of thought and different regions to avoid sectarianism."
"Old Xiao is right."
Chen Yang noted down the suggestion: "In addition, Elder He also proposed to establish a 'Master-Apprentice Transmission Funding Program' to encourage folk doctors to take on apprentices and pass on their skills. We will provide financial support to certified master-apprentice pairs."
The meeting lasted the entire morning, with every detail thoroughly discussed.
After the meeting, Chen Yang stopped Zeng Yunhui: "Yunhui, do you have time? I'd like to talk to you."
Zeng Yunhui was somewhat surprised. After pausing for a moment, he smiled and said, "Of course, I wouldn't dare refuse Director Chen's invitation."
The two arrived at Chen Yang's office, where Chen Yang brewed a pot of tea.
"sit."
Chen Yang gestured for Zeng Yunhui to sit down and said with a smile, "You performed exceptionally well in this special training, especially your insightful suggestions regarding continuing education in traditional Chinese medicine."
"Director Chen, you flatter me. I was just stating the facts," Zeng Yunhui said modestly.
Chen Yang looked at Zeng Yunhui. He had known Zeng Yunhui for quite some time. When they first met, Zeng Yunhui, as a top student from Beijing, was quite arrogant.
"Old Zeng, I'd like to formally accept you as my apprentice," Chen Yang said to Zeng Yunhui with a smile, getting straight to the point.
Zeng Yunhui was stunned for a moment, almost dropping his teacup: "Chen Yang, you... what did you say?"
“I said, I want to take you as my apprentice.”
Chen Yang smiled and repeated, "We've known each other for quite some time now, and I know you well. I also know you really like traditional Chinese medicine, so I'd like to take you on as my apprentice. I just don't know if you'd be willing."
“But Chen Yang…” Zeng Yunhui hesitated for a moment: “I…”
Chen Yang smiled and said, "What's past is past. It's up to you to decide what to do. If you feel awkward or uncomfortable, then just pretend I didn't say anything."
Zeng Yunhui took a deep breath, stood up, and looked at Chen Yang: "Since you've said that, what else can I say? You're giving me face. I'm willing to become your disciple!"
Given Chen Yang's current level and status, there are far too many people who want to become his disciples, a fact Zeng Yunhui is well aware of.
Not to mention these people, even some senior figures, countless people hope that their juniors will become Chen Yang's disciples.
As I said before, the medical field is different from other industries. It is an industry that requires lifelong learning. Whether it is Western medicine or traditional Chinese medicine, everyone who wants to go further in their field needs to keep learning.
Having a good mentor can make things much easier, and can greatly help in terms of connections and skills.
In many large hospitals, there are numerous factions within the hospital.
For example, in the Affiliated Hospital of Shanxi Medical University, the largest faction is the Shanxi Medical University faction. In addition to graduates from Shanxi Medical University, the hospital also has graduates from other universities.
Students graduating from Shanxi Medical University have a natural advantage because most of the hospital's experts are either their teachers or senior students; this is a natural connection.
Students from other universities often have an inherent disadvantage, making it more difficult for them to compete. This is the harsh reality.
Although everyone talks about treating everyone equally, when seniors teach juniors, they will inevitably consider the closeness or distance of the relationship and will take care of their own apprentices first. This is human nature, an unchangeable fact.
Take Kyoto International Medical Center for example. Liu Xi jokingly called it their sect, and there's some truth to that.
Even if Chen Yang is willing to take care of some talented people, or to be more fair, in the future, Chen Yang's disciples or grand-disciples will inevitably become the main support of the Kyoto International Medical Center.
At that time, the outside faction will definitely not be able to compete with Chen Yang's lineage.
In fact, Chen Yang's acceptance of Xiao Jingyun and An Yunfan's suggestions, and even his agreement to Xiao Jingyun's suggestion to recruit some old Chinese medicine doctors, is also to maintain a balance as much as possible and avoid having his own one-man rule in the future.
People say never forget your original intention. Even Chen Yang himself can't guarantee that he won't change or forget his original intention decades later.
Many emperors were wise in their youth, but became senile in their later years. People can change, and Chen Yang couldn't guarantee otherwise.
Zeng Yunhui was quite conflicted during this period, wondering whether he should take the initiative to contact Chen Yang. Given his relationship with Chen Yang, he thought Chen Yang would not refuse.
Now that Chen Yang has brought this up, Zeng Yunhui naturally understands that this is an opportunity that should not be missed.
If he misses this opportunity, Chen Yang will never contact him again.
"Master, please have tea."
Zeng Yunhui poured tea into Chen Yang's teacup and respectfully presented it to Chen Yang.
