Perspective Medical Genius Young Master

Chapter 901: Chapter 903: A New Level of Respect

Xiao Yifei looked around and found that the students nearby were listening very attentively; some even took out notebooks to jot down notes. This kind of earnest attitude towards learning truly deserves praise. It seems the academic atmosphere at this school is quite strong, largely because Hu Jingtang’s lectures are quite good.

Xiao Yifei is most annoyed by those who don’t even know what they’re saying on stage, speaking incoherently, with the audience lacking the patience to listen. That’s why he rarely attends such sessions, but today he was extremely glad he came and felt he must thank Song Baiyang; otherwise, he might have missed out.

There are four major ancient civilizations in the world, but only Huaxia has existed continuously from ancient times to the present, never interrupted. This has helped cultural heritage be well preserved. Only Chinese Medicine has left a centuries-old medical legacy for our descendants, which is undoubtedly a rich fortune for us.

However, sometimes too much heritage can have negative aspects, and Chinese Medicine is no exception. Over the millennia, it has always been a source of pride, but its status declined as Huaxia interacted more with the world, with Western medicine gradually replacing Chinese Medicine.

In recent years, Chinese Medicine has been suppressed, and we all believed it unscientific because it didn’t align with Western medical standards. Since the West has always been more advanced, we naturally think Western medicine is good, and Chinese Medicine is not.

Now, as China is gradually becoming stronger, we finally have the confidence to call Chinese Medicine our national traditional culture. Even many foreigners have started to notice its wonders. The state has finally recognized Chinese Medicine as a "World Cultural Heritage." Although Western medicine still holds a high status now, the rise of Chinese Medicine is no less significant than that of Western medicine.

Hu Jingtang usually doesn’t accept such lectures; one reason is he feels he doesn’t lecture well enough, misleading students. Secondly, he knows that such lectures usually don’t have an attentive audience. He had accepted such lectures before, and although he was paid well, few listened seriously, making him feel his hard work was in vain and lacking a sense of achievement.

After a few such experiences, he scarcely took on such events again, even though the pay was quite good. This time, he came to lecture at the school because an old friend from the medical school requested it, so for the sake of friendship, he came.

That old friend told him: "Kids these days are getting more and more unfocused. I hope you can talk to them. Give them a bit of motivation to ignite their interest in learning. I feel they lack drive now. They don’t worry about food or clothing, lacking nothing. If the sky falls, their parents will have their backs. So they’re not worried about their future at all. But I’m concerned! What will happen to China’s medical field if they continue like this?"

"So, old Hu, just take it as a favor. Talk to them. It’s good to have some hope for China’s medical field yourself."

So, he trusted his old friend’s words, believing that perhaps the young generation in China wasn’t entirely lost.

After speaking for a while, he noticed that the audience was listening with particular seriousness. These students seemed like a group of first graders, sitting upright, and he occasionally saw some taking notes. It seems these kids are quite eager to learn.

He had heard his old friend’s complaints more than once, saying that students today were not as good as those of previous generations. They didn’t do any serious work, just played with their phones all day. It was only before final exams that they crammed, and then forgot everything after the exams.

But today, Hu Jingtang was quite surprised. The situation was entirely different from what he had imagined and completely opposite to what his friend had said. He felt relieved, thinking that perhaps things weren’t as bad as he thought.

He suddenly felt that his old friend was worrying too much. The young generation was not as bad as she imagined, so idle and unambitious. They’re still young and don’t yet know what they want to do. When they truly enter society one day, they will naturally mature and understand what responsibility means.

Thinking carefully, who in their twenties is fully mature? Back when the ’70s generation was society’s main workforce, they viewed the ’80s generation unfavorably, thinking they were spoiled only children, raised delicately, and called them a lost generation. noveldrama

Later, this "lost" generation entered society and became the backbone of their families and society’s main force. Society remained fine, and no one criticized the ’80s generation anymore. Instead, they started calling the ’90s generation a lost generation, thinking they were spoiled little emperors and princesses with better living conditions, incapable of achieving great things.

But in reality, more and more of the ’90s generation are stepping onto society’s grand stage, with performances that exceed everyone’s expectations. This generation is more mentally independent, with unique ideas, having grown up alongside the internet, making them especially well-connected to the world.

So, there’s no need for our generation to worry that the next will be worse. We’re just overthinking it. Their future performance will surely be spectacular. Although they now appear half-asleep every day, always playing with their phones, they will change one day.

They say people don’t grow up slowly but rather suddenly, maybe on a certain day, a young person suddenly realizes their responsibility, knowing they can’t continue like this. From that moment, they’re grown up.

No matter what, when they enter society, they will naturally mature. Even if they don’t want to, society will force them to grow. Society is more brutal than any place they’ve been. Survival of the fittest, a theory Darwin proposed hundreds of years ago.

To make the lecture more lively and engaging, Hu Jingtang shared many anecdotes from his time studying medicine.

He said, "When I studied medicine, our school’s conditions weren’t as good as yours now, and medical resources were not as abundant as today. Now, if you want to learn something, you just need to open your phone or computer and search. Everything can be found, and books are even easier to access."

"Back then, we had to queue a long time to borrow a book. Some popular books might not be available for the whole semester, and there was nowhere to buy them. Unlike now, as long as you have money, you can buy anything."
