Chinese medicine: from rural hospitals to top three hospitals in Kyoto

Chapter 1101 Song Luojun’s Advice

"Hey, Director Gao is here too."

Chen Yang and Gao Anliang were talking when Wen Haodong, Xun Jiahong, Xia Hongliang and others pushed the door open.

Although Chen Yang is the director of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department of the medical center, he is usually not arrogant. The members of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department of Kyoto International Medical Center are a group of like-minded friends selected by Chen Yang.

Chen Yang relies on real technical skills and his level of ability, without using any other means, so everyone is usually very casual.

It was not yet eight o'clock in the morning. A group of people saw that there was someone in Chen Yang's office and sometimes came over to chat.

After entering the room and seeing Gao Anliang, Wen Haodong smiled and said, "Director Gao, are you here for the First International Forum on Korean Medicine Inheritance and Innovation?"

"The First International Forum on the Inheritance and Innovation of Korean Medicine?"

Chen Yang sneered, a hint of playfulness on his lips. "That name is quite self-deprecating. Inheritance? What are they inheriting? Innovation? And how do they innovate?"

Wen Haodong also smiled, his tone tinged with disdain: "How else can you innovate? It's nothing more than changing the name of our ancestors' things, packaging them up, and claiming them as your own."

"Their newly established International Korean Medicine Medical Center is clearly seeing how successful we are, and they're eager to make their presence felt. This forum is probably their debut, and they might even be trying to use us to gain power."

"Definitely."

Xun Jiahong said, "The Koreans have always been like this. Now that our Kyoto International Medical Center has established connections with several international medical institutions, they must be trying to capitalize on the popularity and perhaps even vindicate their Korean medicine."

"The invitation letter was sent to us. The meaning is very clear."

Lin Yi walked in at some point and said, "This is a challenge."

"Inviting us to go has two purposes: one is to test our abilities, and the other is to make a big fuss if we don't go, or if we don't perform well, saying that Chinese medicine practitioners don't dare to take on the challenge, or are inferior to Korean medicine."

"Hey! The little Koreans are really bold! We must go! If we don't go, they will think we are afraid of them! We must let them know what the true roots are and what the origins are!" Wen Haodong jumped up.

Chen Yang did not express his opinion immediately, but looked at Gao Anliang: "Director Gao, what do you think? Is it necessary for us to participate in this forum?"

Gao Anliang pondered, "From a strategic point of view, if we don't go, we'll appear stage-frightened, giving them an excuse. If we go, it'll be a tough battle. In such an occasion, the H people, to save face, will definitely spare no effort to showcase their 'Korean Medicine' achievements, and they might even deliberately target us. We need to be fully prepared."

"and......"

Gao Anliang paused and said, "This time, Country H not only invited us, but also invited experts and medical institutions from several other countries, including Country R. They even sent invitations to Cleveland and the Mayo Clinic."

"There's no need to elaborate on our relationship with Country R. Some of Country R's Chinese medicine experts will certainly give us a hard time..."

Gao Anliang said: "Places like Cleveland and Mayo Clinic would normally ignore such tricks from Country H, but now..."

"Director Gao means that in the view of Cleveland and Mayo Clinic, since Korean medicine and Chinese medicine have the same origin, they might have another option?" Chen Yang asked.

"good."

Gao Anliang nodded. "Mayo and Cleveland don't have a deep friendship with us. They only contacted us for personal gain. It's only because you, Director Chen, performed so well in New York that you caught their attention."

The main reason why Chen Yang was able to attend the summit in New York was because of his level and ability in hepatobiliary surgery. Otherwise, Chen Yang would not have been invited, and there were no Korean medicine practitioners participating in the New York summit.

Chen Yang helped Chinese medicine gain fame in New York, and Korean medicine has now emerged. However, in the eyes of institutions such as Cleveland and Mayo, they only care about profits.

If there is only traditional Chinese medicine, they will inevitably be passive. If Korean medicine comes out, they will have choices. At least when cooperating, they will have more room for bargaining.

"Director Gao is right."

Chen Yang nodded. "This isn't just a personal dispute; it concerns the international reputation and position of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Since they've handed us the offer, we have to accept it. Not only must we accept it, but we must do it well."

"Haodong is right. We need to let them know what the true roots are. This forum may be an opportunity, an opportunity to show the true heritage and strength of traditional Chinese medicine more clearly to the international community. Country H wants to use us to make a name for itself, so we will let them see what it means to 'show off one's skills in front of an expert'." Xun Jiahong interjected.

"it is good!"

Wen Haodong slapped his thigh excitedly, "That's the way to do it! Chen Yang, take me with you when the time comes, so I can see what the little stick can do."

Chen Yang smiled and said, "You are indispensable, but this matter needs to be considered in the long run."

Chen Yang said to Gao Anliang, "Director Gao, you are responsible for collecting more detailed information about this forum and the H Country Korean Medicine International Medical Center, especially about Jin Minzhe and Park Zhenghuan. Find out how much they are worth. Also, try to get as much information as possible about the participants so that we can have a better understanding."

"I understand." Gao Anliang nodded in agreement.

"in addition......"

Chen Yang looked at Lin Yi and said, "Director Lin, we can't slack off on our work at the center. Elder Song's situation is even more important. We can't neglect even the slightest bit of care during the recovery period."

"Don't worry, Director Chen." Lin Yi nodded.

The news quickly spread within the center, causing quite a stir.

Especially the younger generation of doctors, such as Li Chengjie, Su Yunxue and others, were all ready to fight and filled with righteous indignation.

Country H's blatant "scam" behavior made them feel both amused and angry.

Even Song Luojun, who was recuperating in the ward, called Chen Yang over and gave him some advice after hearing about it.

"H country's Korean medicine originated in the Han and Tang dynasties. This is a historical fact. But some of their practices in recent years have indeed been somewhat unreliable."

Song Luojun leaned against the headboard, his tone calm but powerful, "Xiao Chen, don't get angry this time, but make sure they understand where the roots of culture lie. Sincerity is key in academic exchange. If the other party has ulterior motives, don't be polite. Just show them your true abilities."

"You now represent not only yourself, not only the Kyoto International Medical Center, but also the reputation of Chinese Traditional Medicine."

"Of course, we should stick to academic matters and avoid international disputes. We should grasp the scale and be in the right," Song Luojun warned.

"Mr. Song, I understand." Chen Yang nodded solemnly: "I will know how to handle this properly."
