"What’s Professor Chen doing?"
"No longer participating in the awards?"
"Yeah... what happened?"
"Was he subjected to unfair practices? Outrageous!"
"We demand justice! Transparency!"
"We can’t let the hero be wronged!"
...
Soon!
With the release of this news, online public opinion exploded.
Many people started questioning why such a thing happened.
At this ti, the Health Commission was helpless.
Director Deng had just taken on the position, only to face such an issue, to be honest, it was a bit frustrating.
Moreover, to put it bluntly, in today’s world... who can impose unfair practices on Chen Cang?
Who dares to tarnish Chen Cang’s na?
You can count them on one hand in China!
When a person’s influence is so great, they’ve already transcended their realm.
Moreover!
Now, the Dongyang Province dical Consortium is spreading across the country!
And as the core, who can shake Chen Cang’s position!
Even the leaders of various provinces have to consider Chen Cang’s stance, is this an exaggeration? No, not at all!
Because Chen Cang’s influence is imasurable.
Setting aside this intangible influence.
Just talking about the industry!
Worldwide, there are over one hundred thousand research institutes nad after the Chen Cang Institute!
Involving millions of people!
Similarly!
Chen Cang has established different branches in xico, Brazil, South Africa... and more than a dozen other countries, protected by local governnt forces.
Dostically!
Anxu Pharmaceuticals leapt into prominence, becoming a world-leading pharmaceutical company.
After all, the introduction of antibiotic alternatives, painkillers, AIDS vaccines, and various new drugs had an enormous impact on the market!
Forbes and other ranking agencies all sought out Chen Cang, promising not to include him in their calculations, thus sparing him the trouble of being labeled the richest man!
After all, as a top dical scientist, pharmacist, philanthropist... and more, Chen Cang doesn’t belong in a wealth ranking!
However, every country and financial group in the world knows!
There is a giant in this world that they simply cannot provoke now!
Who knows how many lives Chen Cang holds in his hands!
Buffett, the Rockefeller family, the Rothschild family... and other giants all approached Chen Cang, hoping to establish friendships with him!
Money, to a certain extent, can be exchanged for invisible energy and status, even power!
However!
It can never be exchanged for life!
At this mont, if there’s one person in the world who holds the key to life’s secrets, it’s possibly only Chen Cang!
Faced with the olive branches offered by these enormous families.
Chen Cang did not refuse.
But he also did not promise.
At this ti, he was no longer the young, naive boy he once was.
The developnt of dicine, and even technology, doesn’t actually bring happiness to humanity, nor does it bring peace to the world!
Quite the opposite!
If we lose basic reverence, behind human nature lies not paradise, but an abyss!
Thus, Chen Cang chose the best approach, hoping to return the world to its proper course. He wished to promote the developnt of dicine but not to let science entirely surpass moral and legal integrity.
In the past, Chen Cang heard a saying!
The end of science is philosophy, taphysics, theology... everyone has sothing to say about it.
Chen Cang has never seen the end of science, nor can he judge the accuracy of this statent.
But now he feels that what the end of science is doesn’t matter. What matters is, philosophy should walk alongside science.
The developnt of science cannot be separated from the progress of thought, morality, law, and humanity... and so on!
When scientific developnt advances too quickly, it doesn’t bring the benefits of science, but rather the disasters of science!
Just like the appearance of the atomic bomb!
No one can clearly judge its right or wrong!
One might say that the atomic bomb brought humanity more contemplation and caution.
Similarly, Chen Cang truly doesn’t want to see the dical empire he built with his own hands, even the dical world, committing mistakes because of himself!
dicine can save humanity!
But it can also make people forget many things!
Initially, Chen Cang had the potential to perform more head transplant surgeries.
But he didn’t!
He didn’t even continue to care for the brother who had undergone the head transplant.
Because he didn’t dare to.
Because in this world, many people are above morality, law, and order.
The only thing they don’t have is immortality!
Chen Cang didn’t dare to do it!
So he straightforwardly declared the uniqueness and unrepeatability of the surgery.
Even if there were another one, Chen Cang would deliberately fail.
Human nature can never withstand the test.
Because humans are full of variables.
This is both an advantage and a flaw!
Chen Cang doesn’t want to gamble.
He only hopes to make so rightful contributions to humanity.
So, he chose to retire!
Moreover, "Ergency dicine" is different, requiring Chen Cang to carefully refine it, needing serious contemplation to write this book.
He needs to settle himself.
And also hopes to settle the negative impacts of the rapid advancents in dicine.
These things all require ti to digest.
If there’s only one thing in the world that’s both rciless and compassionate, it’s ti!
However, no matter what, Chen Cang’s sudden announcent left the world sowhat stunned.
In the pri of his career!
And at the pri age of his life!
Why the sudden withdrawal?
This news caught many people off guard.
At this mont, Director Deng of the National Health Commission had no choice but to ask Chen Cang to co out for a press conference-like event.
Otherwise, he really couldn’t get past this hurdle!
It’s not just the public’s protests!
Even the leaders above are asking him why!
Deng Gaoyuan felt very wronged about this.
He really didn’t dare!
Just look at how many people in the National Health Commission are Chen Cang’s people now?
How many people in the entire dical system are Chen Cang’s students!
In the two academies, how many academicians have to call Dr. Chen Cang teacher!
What qualifications does Deng Gaoyuan have to set rules for Chen Cang?
However, at this ti, Chen Cang also realized this matter.
The press conference was originally just a small eting.
But it topped countless dia outlets and trending searches.
"Hello, everyone, my na is Chen Cang. The reason I am stepping back is to give more opportunities to younger people and also to give myself a chance to reflect."
"For an extended period, I might not attend any conferences or competitions... I hope to spend the upcoming days seriously doing research, earnestly summarizing so of my experiences, and turning them into a book!"
"Thank you all!"
Chen Cang’s words were brief, but they left many unsettled for a long ti.
In the days that followed.
Chen Cang really seed to have vanished into thin air.
He and Qin Yue moved to a quiet and unfamiliar city.
They began the simplest, most unpretentious way of life.
Qin Yue took care of the family’s daily needs.
Chen Cang read books and wrote books every day.
Little Chen Yang also gradually grew and matured.
Life is not just about brilliance.
It also requires finding bits of genuine emotion and touch in the mundane.
This was sothing Qin Yue and Chen Cang had seriously considered.
They also wanted to give Chen Yang a complete family and life.
Actually, regarding retirent, Chen Cang had thought about it for a long ti.
He instead felt that this was the best choice.
As for safety issues... actually, there was no need for Chen Cang to worry.
This life was peaceful and comfortable.
Daily bickering with Qin Yue, occasionally letting off steam by teasing the kids.
However, it also had its benefits.
For instance, during this period, Qin Yue gave birth to twins for Chen Cang again!
When the children were young, the parents ca over frequently to help.
As ti went on, Qin Yue could manage on her own.
Apart from writing books, Chen Cang occasionally went to so impoverished areas to provide free dical consultations.
It has to be said...
These years, the changes have been rapid indeed.
And even though Chen Cang wasn’t in the hospital, he could still grasp various matters accurately.
Moreover, with the system in hand, Chen Cang could quickly formulate the latest guidelines.
Just like that, the years passed by year after year...
Until those familiar old leaders slowly grew old as well...
Chen Cang attended so farewell ceremonies for the old leaders.
Ti flies.
Those old predecessors, teachers, and old professors were slowly leaving this world.
Chen Cang bid them farewell.
But!
They were very happy.
Seeing the country’s dical field flourishing so much, they were genuinely happy.
...
The Spring Festival of 2032.
Chen Cang was forty years old.
A lot happened this year.
Deng Ming beca the president of the World Ergency Surgery Association.
He finally got married and had children.
Chen Cang attended his wedding, and he didn’t look for the bride but held onto Chen Cang, crying his eyes out, crying for a long ti, calling out, "Teacher, where did you go..."
Chen Cang patted his shoulder and said, "You’re in your forties, crying for at your wedding, people will laugh at you!"
Deng Ming shook his head, tears streaming as he laughed.
Wang Yong beca the director of the General Surgery departnt, taking over from Zhang Youfu.
Zhang Youfu ca.
But he was still the sa person who loved posting about good food and showing off his love on social dia the most.
During the New Year, Chen Cang visited him with so good food.
Sister-in-law Yang Tong cooked the al herself. Chen Cang ate it, and it tasted just the sa as it did over a decade ago, unchanged.
But... Zhang Youfu had aged.
He was getting old too. When leaving, he gave out three packets of New Year money for the kids.
Then he went to have a drink with Li Baoshan.
Li Baoshan drank too much.
He laughed and said that if it weren’t for Chen Cang, he would have died with regrets.
He also said, knowing this, he would never have let Qin Xiaoyuan and the others drink.
...
Sumr of 2037.
Chen Cang was forty-five.
Little Chen Yang went to middle school and beca a grade control freak, wasting not even 1 point.
Qin Yue finally learned to knit sweaters for the kids.
But Chen Yang never wore them, complaining about the many knots in the yarn inside.
Because of this, on Chen Yang’s birthday, Qin Yue hit Chen Cang, leaving him speechless. He hit Chen Yang to vent his frustration, while the younger siblings stood there laughing.
Chen Yang, helpless, helped his mother with knitting.
And that year, Old General Qin passed away.
Chen Cang didn’t go, but sent a eulogy.
Over the years, Chen Cang attended more funerals than weddings.
He naturally had many friends from different generations.
Therefore, such occasions were unavoidable.
Perhaps as people age past forty, they start to beco more cautious and reflective.
This year.
When Chen Cang went to a place called Xiao Ao Village to provide dical aid, he t a woman who suddenly burst into laughter upon seeing him.
Chen Cang saw the woman wearing a casual, smart outfit with a white coat over it.
Chen Cang couldn’t help but laugh: "Teacher, the clothes are too small. If you keep laughing, they’re going to burst!"
Yet, tears glistened in ng Xi’s eyes as she continued to laugh.
After they exchanged a glance, they hugged for a mont.
"Long ti no see!"
"Are you married?"
"Get lost!"
"Haha... Don’t be so rude!"
"I’m not married, but I’ve adopted a child."
"Oh? Where is the child? What’s the na?"
"I’ve adopted over a hundred!"
"..."
That day, Chen Cang and ng Xi talked for a long ti.
ng Xi had resigned from the hospital long ago; ng Wanrong left her a large inheritance, enough for a luxurious life, but over the years she dedicated herself to teaching and dical aid, starting to support those children.
Although he remained unmarried for life, he felt fulfilled.
This year, Chen Bingsheng’s child got married, and Chen Cang attended the wedding.
Old Ma was also present and insisted on matchmaking his second child with Chen Cang’s daughter.
Chen Cang looked at Ma Erhan and declined, leaving Old Ma furious.
He accused Chen Cang of bullying, and Chen Cang nodded in agreent, afterwards, Old Ma was silent for quite so ti... and sold his courtyard ho in the capital.
This year, Chen Luo won his first Oscar for Best Actor, and his long-term love finally culminated in marriage.
However...
The bride turned out to be Dou Xin.
Chen Cang vaguely rembered that girl whose face was half scarred in the sunlight.
She had now beco the most popular diva in the entertainnt industry.
Ti flies; what remains unchanged, what’s been changed, all must transform.
Chen Cang congratulated the couple on their marriage.
...
...
This year, Chen Cang turned fifty.
"Ergency dicine" was finally completed!
After years of effort, Chen Cang diligently pondered and completed "Ergency dicine."
This consisted of fifteen volus.
Each disease was written in detail with treatnt thods and techniques.
Every possibility was taken into account by Chen Cang.
When the book was released, it caused quite a sensation!
Because Chen Cang had been missing from the scene for a long ti.
The release of this book made many wonder if it might be outdated.
Who spends over a decade writing a book!
Indeed!
Nowadays, experts are more interested in garnering honors, taking on titles of chief and editor-in-chief, writing books more frequently than eating.
However, Chen Cang genuinely recorded a lifeti of insights and reflections in this book.
This was a book that could serve both as a reference and a guide!
Many were shocked upon seeing it!
Because it was practically an encyclopedia of ergency dicine!
At this mont!
The world was once again astounded by Chen Cang!
Yet, Chen Cang did not reappear.
This ti, he seed to have truly disappeared...
...
...
[Ding! Congratulations, you’ve successfully published "Ergency dicine," achieving perfect completion, and earned the ultimate reward: Family Legacy System!]
Chen Cang rolled his eyes.
He glanced at Chen Yang, who had just been accepted into college and looked bored.
Chen Cang suddenly thought, this guy probably doesn’t need it.
[Family Legacy System: Activates automatically when your family is in decline, and descendants face a crisis, making it impossible to continue the lineage!]
Chen Cang sighed.
So that’s it?
He thought it would grant immortality!
But...
If I really were immortal, would I be happy?
Honestly, with the secret of this system, it’s better to keep it hidden.
Thinking of this, Chen Cang smiled indifferently.
...
...
This year!
Chen Cang had already been gone for so long!
Many had almost forgotten Chen Cang, the young man who once saved the world.
The great legend who led dicine into a new era!
He now only existed in history books or legendary tales.
Little was ntioned of him in day-to-day life.
This year!
On December 31st.
The WHO African regional office learned from the Pretoria Health Commission’s website about reports of "viral pneumonia" cases in South Africa.
The African office reported the situation to the WHO Western Pacific Regional Office’s International Health Regulations contact point and provided translations of the Pretoria Health Commission’s report on these cases.
The WHO’s Epidemic Intelligence Open Source (EIOS) platform also received dia reports from ProD (a project of the International Society of Infectious Diseases) on the sa cluster of "unknown cause pneumonia" cases in South Africa.
Health authorities from around the world contacted the WHO, hoping for more information.
January 1, the following year.
The WHO requested that the South African authorities provide information regarding the reported cluster of atypical pneumonia cases in Pretoria.
The WHO activated the Incident Managent Support Team (IMST) under the ergency response frawork.
This frawork is used to coordinate activities and responses to public health ergencies across the three levels of the WHO (headquarters, regional, national).
Imdiately after...
January 2, the situation was released.
January 9, the World Health Organization held multiple teleconferences with global expert networks.
January 31, the WHO Director for the Africa Region issued a guidance docunt to all countries in the region, emphasizing the importance of preparedness and early case detection.
February 4, the outbreak exploded in Pretoria!
February 10, South Africa went into lockdown!
The world entered a severe phase of epidemic prevention and control.
February 9!
Many countries in Africa successively saw a sharp increase in infectious diseases!
By the end of February!
A certain great country condemned South Africa’s actions...
Early March!
A certain great country went into lockdown!
The epidemic entered a new stage!
The unknown pneumonia continued to spread, continued to expand!
April!
Europe began to experience the epidemic.
...
May!
As the epidemic was about to reach the nation’s borders.
People around the world were in panic!
All the research organizations, virus institutes, all the scientific institutions were unable to solve this problem!
Just as people globally began to struggle in despair.
When all they knew was to pray, at a loss for what to do.
"Please, Professor Chen, step forward!"
The central governnt issued an ergency order and found Chen Cang.
And at this mont!
An elderly man, tasked with a crucial mission at a high age, hunched over, moved against the wind!
At this mont!
Those old folks suddenly beca emotional, tears shimring in their eyes: "It’s him! It’s him!"
"Professor Chen is here! We are surely saved now!"
At that ti, many young people didn’t even know who Chen Cang was!
But those old folks began to tell Chen Cang’s story!
That year...
That year...
Those years...
...
At such a mont!
When everyone was filled with fear towards the epidemic zone!
Chen Cang gathered his old comrades.
"Deng Ming!"
"Present!"
"Wang Yong!"
"Wang Yong present!"
"Luo Zhou!"
"Luo Zhou present!"
"Chen Yang!"
"Chen Yang present!"
"Who else?"
"Present!"
"Present!"
"Present!"

How can we say there are no doctors!
Together with you as comrades!
White robes as armor!
Advancing against the tide!
This group of old-tirs once again donned their battle armor, leading the young soldiers, embarking on this path...
This journey!
We will surely triumph!!!
...
(The end of the series)

December 31, 2020.
We have walked through the toughest roads.
t the most lovable people.
This book was written in 2020, witnessing our greatest doctors and warriors during the epidemic.
I!
In our grand country, how can we say there are no doctors?
Together as comrades, protecting our rivers and lands!
This is a vocational book, also a joyous vocational book, accompanying everyone through the toughest days, also the most morable ones.
Thank you all!
Thank you!
For allowing to write a story I wanted to.
Gentlen, let’s et again if fate allows!
(As I wrote the last few words, these old hands felt... already powerless, and the heart was empty. Reflecting on completing the book soday.)
By the way, those interested can take a look at the Easter egg Chapter of 2000-2024, which contains relevant precautions regarding the new *vaccine.
