Chapter 508: Controversy
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
Zhao Ming Qing only wanted to change the Chinese dical Academy’s foundational teaching books. The current ones used across Chinese dical academies across the nation were written in 1974 by several Chinese dical masters. During that era, Chinese dicine was challenged and deed as pseudoscience. People felt that it should be abolished and replaced entirely with Western dicine.
However, certain things happened later on that proved Chinese dicine to be legitimate. From that point, it recovered from being abolished halfway. Hence, Chinese started to be established across the nation. But the embarrassing thing was that there were no decent foundational Chinese dicine teaching books. For beginners, learning from those ancient books was simply too hard. It was almost impossible.
In the end, the Education Departnt had invited several Chinese dical masters to work together and write books to fill in the lack of teaching materials.
This set of teaching materials was called the first generation of teaching materials and had been used until now.
It wasn’t that no one was willing to write new teaching materials now but Chinese dicine was different from Western dicine. There were many diverse views regarding Chinese dicine and the average Chinese dical master did not possess the ability to provide well-rounded explanations. Hence, the teaching materials had not been changed after all these years.
Now that Zhao Ming Qing, as Shanghai’s First Chinese dical Academy’s Director, suddenly wanted to replace the foundational teaching materials, it was only natural for it to draw so much attention.
On the Internet.
“Is he trying to cause trouble? He wants to replace the old teaching materials which have been used for decades? He must be looking for death.”
“Don’t say that. This Zhao Ming Qing is really amazing. He managed to find a cure for anorexia. Moreover, he made a pretty huge impact during that voluntary dical work incident a while back.”
“These are two different things. The old teaching materials were written by a number of old Chinese doctors. Now, the descendants of those old Chinese doctors are already protesting.”
“What’s the point of protesting? I’ve seen the news. Those descendants have already beco businessn. None of them study Chinese dicine. What does that an? It ans that even they aren’t willing to study it and they’re only using this na for their own benefit.”
“But who exactly is capable enough to dare to write the new teaching materials?”
“Haha, there’s big news coming up. Standby for the turn of events.”
There was a lot of pressure on Zhao Ming Qing at the mont.
The people form the Education Departnt hadn’t co yet but the Chinese dical Academy was already having a conference with all the higher-ups.
The Academy Deputy Director said with a suspicious look, “Director, this matter must be taken slowly. You can’t be too rash. This incident has already caused large-scale public discussion on the Internet. If it isn’t carried out well, it will be a huge problem.”
This ‘huge problem’ referred to the Chinese dical Academy becoming a joke. And Director Zhao might lose his appointnt.
“Yeah, this isn’t abiding by the regulations. All teaching materials are decided by the Education Departnt. If we change the teaching materials by ourselves, we would be challenging the Education Departnt.”
“The academy students are protesting loudly as well. We must first appease the students.”
They didn’t know what else to say. In the past, they had a different impression of Director Zhao. He had always done things subtly. He would co to the academy, walk around, do so Chinese dical research and he barely even asked about matters regarding education.
But now, that Director Zhao was gone. The new Director Zhao was soone who loved to ddle with things.
This change was rather drastic.
Zhao Ming Qing said with a wave of his hand, “Any kind of reform is sure to be faced with controversy. However, I, Zhao Ming Qing, have been in the profession of Chinese dical education for several decades and I’ve always wished for Chinese dicine to further develop. There is no need to discuss this matter any further. My heart is resolute. If any problems arise, I will bear responsibility myself. It will not affect anyone else.”
“Director, that’s not what we an. You want to promote the new teaching materials but at least tell us who is writing them so we will have an idea.”
Zhao Ming Qing didn’t say much, “When the teaching materials have been written, you will all know.”
He didn’t want to speak on this matter because his teacher was still writing the teaching materials. Before seeing the teaching materials for himself, he would not say it. If any problems occurred on his teacher’s side or if the teaching materials did not fit the standards, then his teacher would be criticized. Hence, he kept quiet about this matter so that that wouldn’t happen and only he would bear the responsibility.
In the Academy.
Qiu Jie and Zhang Tong Tong were chatting with so fellow students who had conflicting opinions. They couldn’t help with the matter much but they could help to eradicate their fellow students’ conflicting opinions.
They knew that the students didn’t really oppose the change. But in front of sothing new and indefinite, it was natural to have such a mindset.
The descendants of the old Chinese dical masters who wrote the teaching materials were now involved in the business of treatnt equipnt. They had connections within the respective large dical academies.
When they t new people, they would be introduced as the descendants of the people who had written the Chinese dicine foundational teaching materials.
This, sohow, raised their statuses.
Now that soone wanted to replace the teaching materials, how could they just let that happen?
“Regarding the matter suggested by Shanghai’s First Chinese dical Academy’s Director Zhao Ming Qing, I am furious. My grandfather put in his sweat and blood together with several other people to write these Chinese dicine foundational teaching materials and now, he wants to replace them. My heart aches, very much. In these several decades, these teaching materials have raised nurous Chinese dical masters and nurous experts. Now he wants to replace them with new teaching materials that we don’t even know where they ca from. I want to ask Director Zhao Ming Qing, have you ever asked for the opinions of others?”
Now that the descendants had spoken, the Chinese dical students who had been observing all along started to take a stand as well.
“I agree!”
“These old teaching materials are the blood and sweat of Chinese dical masters. How many people are there now who are capable enough to write new teaching materials?”
“Teaching materials are essential to nurturing Chinese doctors. If you just bring out new teaching materials out of nowhere, it will cause a drastic impact.”
“Zhao Ming Qing has lost it.”
The netizens saw all this noise and they watched as they chewed on their lon seeds. They didn’t understand this. But the scolding battle on the Internet was very intense, so they ca to watch the show.
However, there were Chinese doctors that were students of Zhao Ming Qing or had good relationships with him. They, of course, could not stand and watch Zhao Ming Qing get flad. They had to lend him so support.
“Don’t be distressed. Aren’t you just afraid of losing your benefits? Your grandpa was a Chinese dical master but what are you now? You’ve completely made use of your grandfather’s reputation to beco a dealer that sells dical equipnt.”
“Yeah! You sell equipnt that is worth $200,000 for $600,000. How greedy are you?”
“Reforms are necessary. Even Chinese dicine foundational teaching materials have to be changed with the tis. The teaching materials written in the past have certain shortcomings that must be improved on in order to provide beginner Chinese dical students with reasonable study plans.”
“I support Director Zhao.”
“Only with good teaching materials can outstanding future generations of Chinese doctors be nurtured. We can’t be restricted for certain people’s benefit.”
“I agree.”
Now, the people from the Educational Departnt had co to lobby against Zhao Ming Qing.
It wasn’t that they didn’t agree with the reform but at the very least, the new teaching materials should be shown to them. If they were really better than the old ones, they would definitely support it.
However, now that the teaching materials hadn’t appeared and the situation had already blown up, it was a little awkward.
If the matter wasn’t handled properly, it would have a negative impact on the entire Chinese dical education industry.
