Luo Ziling did not take into account the feelings of everyone present and bluntly pointed out so many issues, then presented his own suggestions.
After saying these things, Luo Ziling showed no humility, and continued to "boast shamelessly," stating that his team is already engaged in research in this area. They plan to compile epoch-making traditional medicine writings in the coming years, summarize precedents, innovate by removing the old and introducing the new, and integrate more advanced diagnostic concepts and principles, as well as learn from Western medicine, complementing each other to better relieve patients’ suffering.
When Luo Ziling mentioned complementing Western medicine, someone finally stood up to oppose his claim.
When he spoke the things that everyone agreed with but dared not say, no one directly criticized him, and everyone listened intently. But when he talked about complementing Western medicine, some people couldn’t help but stand up and criticize him.
"Wouldn’t that just become pseudo-traditional medicine in the guise of Western medicine? Would it end up as Western medicine or traditional medicine? Can you be certain?" they questioned Luo Ziling.
"Why not use things that can be learned?" Luo Ziling chuckled, looking at them, "Those modern instruments can clearly identify some internal ailments and are a very good auxiliary diagnostic method. The results of blood and urine tests clearly indicate the health condition inside the body. These aren’t patents of Western medicine. Why shouldn’t we refer to them in traditional medicine? Western doctors check the pulse and observe the heartbeat and pulse of patients, using a stethoscope to examine breathing and heartbeat—isn’t that all right too?"
"Because ’looking, listening, questioning, and feeling the pulse’ are our traditional medicine’s basic diagnostic elements. Can’t they also use them? I think there is no need to completely separate traditional medicine and modern medicine, nor to oppose them. Any diagnostic method that can cure patients’ diseases is a method we should advocate. When we feel the pulse, mistakes can occur. When a patient walks briskly, their complexion and heartbeat and breathing will change. You might judge them wrongly when checking. Those modern instruments can sometimes well complement these errors."
After pausing for a moment, Luo Ziling continued, "Although there are many Chinese and Western combined therapies now, there are very few treatments truly integrated. If true integration of Chinese and Western medicine in treatment can be reached, that would be the greatest blessing for patients. Western medicine treatment is too targeted, often overlooking the overall balance of patients. And the theoretical foundation of traditional Chinese medicine treatment is too abstract, with relatively slower treatment effects. Isn’t it better to complement each other?"
At this point, Luo Ziling presented cases from the recent period where he helped heal others, including treating Li Haiyang and curing patients poisoned by Paraquat. Moreover, he also talked about how the Taiyi Divine Needle and modified Luo’s Acupuncture Skill were combined with modern medical elements in patient treatment.
Throughout the seminar, he spoke the longest and gave the most inputs, leaving many in awe.
Lin Zeping and other leaders who weren’t well-versed in traditional medicine were astonished at how articulate Luo Ziling was.
Those who had a better understanding of traditional medicine didn’t expect Luo Ziling to be so detailed.
There were many things they hadn’t thought about or hadn’t contemplated deeply.
Even though their mouths remained unimpressed, in their hearts, they felt a bit of admiration.
Despite his young age, Luo Ziling’s thorough research commanded respect, even among the skeptics.
How many are still willing to quietly and earnestly delve into these matters in this impulsive age?
Though Luo Ziling spoke for a long time, he ultimately received enthusiastic applause.
After Luo Ziling finished speaking, Lin Zeping asked everyone present, "Luo Ziling is the youngest among us here, and I feel he is the most deeply knowledgeable about traditional medicine. I’m an outsider and not too familiar with traditional medicine, so if there’s any misunderstanding, please bear with me. Here, I have a suggestion for the Health and Family Planning Commission and the Traditional Chinese Medicine Administration Bureau. People like Luo Ziling should have more opportunities to speak and provide opinions in the fields of traditional and sanitary medicine."
The seasoned individuals in the officialdom certainly understood Lin Zeping’s intention in speaking like this.
The leaders of the Health and Family Planning Commission and the Traditional Chinese Medicine Administration Bureau immediately expressed that talents like Luo Ziling should certainly be placed in appropriate positions to better utilize his strengths in developing traditional and modern medicine.
Naturally, Luo Ziling showed humility, saying he was too young and still a student, and the responsibilities he currently carries already consume most of his time. He truly doesn’t have much time to engage in other things.
Of course, everyone understood his words as modesty and politeness.
Who would let go of such an opportunity!
Being named by the Boss and designated for promotion, with the responsible officials clearly agreeing—the role would soon be his. If Luo Ziling gave up such an opportunity, one might say he’d have to be out of his mind.
Does Luo Ziling seem like someone out of his mind?
Certainly not.
Someone like him, daring to passionately express his views in such occasions, and having a strong desire to showcase himself, is surely sharp-minded.
"The leaders are keen to cultivate him!" This was the common sentiment among many.
Those who criticized Luo Ziling during yesterday’s visit to Yan University now realize just how impressive this young man is.
Even having Lin Zeping personally vouch for him—it’s not someone they can criticize carelessly.
Some who realized these things couldn’t help but worry about Luo Ziling taking revenge once he gains power.
Of course, Luo Ziling wouldn’t do such a thing. He’s not that narrow-minded, and he didn’t take yesterday’s troublemakers seriously.
He hadn’t even bothered to find out the names of those attendees from yesterday.
For him, there’s simply no need to investigate their situations. He wouldn’t treat them as opponents, nor friends.
They are merely passersby.
Today’s seminar was broadcasted on the noon news.
Indeed, the current promotion personnel are efficient, and the CCAV staff incredibly dedicated, managing to produce the program within minutes. Luo Ziling’s passionate speech was aired on the noon news.
The most remarkable part of his speech was directly included. His voice is very assertive and powerful, his speaking is confident.
With the broadcast of this news, his image once again improved, and his popularity surged once more.
