“Paying attention to Chinese medicine, learning Chinese medicine, and researching and organizing Chinese medicine will be one of our motherland’s great contributions to mankind.

We have always kept this sentence in mind!

And launched a series of foreign policies of traditional Chinese medicine!" When he said the first sentence, Director Zeng had a sacred look on his face.

"Comrades in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are working very hard! Each of you is a soldier fighting on the front line.

Diplomacy is a silent battle, with no smoke visible, but the intensity is no less intense than a battlefield filled with smoke.

Paying attention to Chinese medicine, learning Chinese medicine, and researching and sorting out Chinese medicine will be one of our motherland's great contributions to mankind.

This is the highest instruction for us Chinese medicine practitioners, and it is also the work we have been doing.

In the future, we will definitely implement the highest instructions with practical actions." Zhang Yan sat up straight and said with infinite reverence on his face.

"Dean Zhang, we have one more thing to ask for when we come here this time!" Director Zeng said seriously.

"Director Zeng, if there is anything you need me to do, just ask!" Zhang Yan said with a smile.

"Some time ago, Indonesian President Sukarno was unable to urinate due to kidney stones. Western medical treatment had no effect. The presidential medical team believed that the only option was to remove the left kidney.

But Sukarno was unwilling to undergo surgery, so he sent a letter of help to China, hoping that Chinese medicine could relieve his pain." Director Zeng told what happened.

"Kidney stones, this is very simple.

I previously worked on a project jointly with Xicheng Hospital, which was aimed at liver and gallbladder diseases, including gallstones and other diseases.

The Chinese patent medicines I develop include fossils and stone-removing medicines.

Depending on the severity of the condition, one course of treatment for mild cases and two or three courses for severe cases can cure the disease!" Zhang Yan said with a relaxed smile.

The pharmaceutical factory under the Metallurgical General Hospital produces Chinese patent medicines, including those specialized in removing fossils.

The effect is very good.

"Dean Zhang, the matter is not that simple. This is a diplomatic aid incident. Sending some medicines casually does not reflect our sincerity!" Director Zeng said with a smile.

"Oh! What does Director Zeng mean?"

"According to the instructions of the chief director and at the request of Indonesia, we sent a medical team to Indonesia to treat Sukarno for kidney stones.

After discussion, we believe it is best to leave this task to the Metallurgical General Hospital!"

"Thank you, leader, for trusting us!" Zhang Yan also became serious and said solemnly.

"Dean Zhang, what do you think about this?" Director Zeng asked.

Although Director Zeng is not of a high rank, he represents the Foreign Affairs Department and cannot be taken lightly.

"No problem! I can't go in person because of my teaching obligations!

But I can send Deputy Director Peng Dahai and Deputy Director Zhao Shengli from our hospital!

The two of them are proficient in Chinese and Western medicine and can use acupuncture to remove stones. At critical moments, they can also perform surgery to remove stones!" Zhang Yan thought for a while and said.

Although Peng Dahai did not have any apprentices, he taught Peng Dahai all his medical skills. His current medical skills are no worse than those of his apprentices.

Not to mention Zhao Shengli, he can be regarded as his first disciple.

"Peng Dahai is the deputy director of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Surgery Department of our hospital, and Zhao Shengli is the deputy director of the emergency department. They are both my apprentices.

At the same time, they are also associate professors at Beijing University of Chinese Medicine!" Zhang Yan saw Director Zeng's confused look and explained with a smile.

"Since I am Dean Zhang's apprentice, there is no problem! I will report to the leadership when I get back, and then contact Dean Zhang after the decision is made," Director Zeng said with a smile.

"Yes, we will always listen to the country's call and be ready!" Zhang Yan said seriously.

Next, the conversation between the two parties became more relaxed and they talked about some lighter topics.

Director Zeng is not in a hurry to leave. Today's task is to ensure that the ten foreign students report and enroll smoothly.

At noon, Zhang Yan persuaded Director Zeng and others to have dinner together at the Metallurgical General Hospital.

Director Zeng readily agreed, while Secretary Liang said goodbye and left.

When he brought Director Zeng over, the task was completed and he still had to go back and report to the leader.

Director Zeng had to go back to the Foreign Affairs Department in the afternoon, so he didn't drink, but he was quite satisfied with the food standards of the Metallurgical General Hospital.

He praised the sumptuous food more than once.

The Foreign Affairs Department is actually not that bad. Because there are often foreign affairs tasks, the materials of the Foreign Affairs Department are specially provided, which is much higher than that of ordinary departments.

But, even so, it is not as good as the food standards of Metallurgical General Hospital.

After eating, Zhang Yan took Director Zeng and Director Zhao to the dormitory and took a look at the dormitory of Metallurgical General Hospital.

Naturally, I received a lot of praise and envy.

This condition, not to mention a room for two people, but also a room for four people, is quite good.

There is a separate bathroom, round-the-clock hot water, and central heating.

In fact, the reason why we have 24-hour hot water and central heating is because of the steel rolling mill.

The steel rolling mill performs secondary smelting on steel billets and processes them into various shapes, such as steel bars, steel plates, rails, channel steel, steel pipes and other profiles.

Secondary smelting cannot be separated from the steel-making furnace, and naturally hot water is also indispensable.

This hot water has been wasted in the past. At most, the office buildings of the steel rolling mill and dormitories used hot water for central heating.

All excess and unused water is drained into a large lake behind the steel rolling mill, which is also a drying pond, and then flows into a nearby river.

Metallurgical General Hospital was still the Red Star Hospital.

When building the hospital, Zhang Yan communicated with Factory Director Yang and connected a pipe from the steel rolling mill to bring hot water over, not only for heating, but also to provide hot water for all floors.

When the dormitory building was built later, hot water was also introduced there.

It's just a little more troublesome, just connect two pipes, one for hot water and one for cold water.

Such a simple improvement makes everyone who has seen it envious.

Now, many dormitory areas such as government agencies and work units have been built here in Beijing.

However, since there is no such thing as central heating, these compounds use their own boilers for heating.

Heating is OK, but hot water is impossible.

"Li Tai, what are your requirements for the food in the canteen? Or are there any taboos in your ethnic, religious and cultural background?" Zhang Yan asked with a smile.

"Teacher, the food in the cafeteria is very good!

Chinese food is simply great, we like it very much!" Li Tai and Zhou Zheng said quickly.

"What don't you need to avoid in your diet?" Zhang Yan then asked.
Chapter completed!
