China's dream, my dream

The village where grandparents lived for generations is not surprisingly located on the broad plains of northwestern Shandong. A small river flows through the front of the village, and the muddy yellow river water raises this people.

Time returned to the early 1980s, when the country's reform and opening up had just started, and it was a waste of time. Grandparents and ordinary Chinese people, like hardworking, are still quite poor. They gave birth to four sons - my uncle, my father and my two uncles. According to the village at that time, even if my grandparents were hard-working for a lifetime, they would not marry their four sons.

Family burdens are thousands of years old. How to survive? How to live a good life?

Grandpa is a farmer, but he is not a pure crop. He studied, his grandfather and father are doctors, that is to say, Grandpa's family is the traditional Chinese cultivating door. There are seeds of reading in the heart. No matter how busy the farm work is, Grandpa always squats and reads at night. He studies, and he is studying medicine silently. I think Grandpa must know where the hope of changing the family's poor life is.

In 1984, Grandpa had been working as a village doctor, but he believed that medical skills alone could not be done by self-learning. He didn't want to sit down and watched the sky. He decided to leave the village and go to school in a doctor training school in the provincial capital. I scraped a little tuition, expenses and food stamps, took the cover rolls, and opened a letter of introduction to the production brigade. Grandpa left his hometown and went out to study.

That year, Grandpa was 39 years old and my little uncle was only 5 years old.

At the age of 39, Grandpa needs to make a big decision to get out of the country. Looking back at history now, Grandpa may belong to the first batch of migrant workers after the reform and opening up. Grandpa once said that the door between the urban and rural areas has just opened a seam, and your grandfather squeezed out. The imprint of history was intentionally or unintentionally engraved on Grandpa.

Grandpa told me that at the beginning, the reason why I chose to study medicine was to save the family, and the second was that I didn’t want the family’s medicine to be lost to my generation.

From the village into the provincial capital, grandfather left his hometown, unaccompanied, can be said to stand in the shadow. As a stranger, his grandfather is desperately eager to study, study hard, and visit famous teachers in case of incomprehensible problems. After a hard study, my grandfather has made great progress. I am also very honored that my grandfather was left in school. When he was a teacher and lectured, he also took a doctor and became a provincial doctor.

This step of staying in school changed the life track of Grandpa. He cherishes rare opportunities, continues to study eagerly, systematically studies Chinese medicine, and moves toward the realm of healing. According to the patient's ear, the grandfather's reputation has gradually increased.

For medical skills, Grandpa is striving for excellence; for the name, Grandpa smiled.

Knowledge changed the fate of Grandpa, and the success of Grandpa changed the fate of the family. His three sons, my father, my uncle, and my uncle, were admitted to the university, and my father and uncle graduated from the Chinese Medical College. . In 1993, his grandfather moved to Jinan to live.

Grandpa struggled and achieved his goal. According to Grandpa's words, those things like wealth can only be said to be life goals, and count as "little dreams." Along the way, Grandpa has a big dream. This dream is a "Chinese medicine dream." He hopes that the state can attach importance to Chinese medicine, save Chinese medicine, and revitalize Chinese medicine. Chinese medicine can prosper. Grandpa said that there are few real Chinese doctors, Chinese medicine is discriminated against, and Chinese medicine is on the verge of crisis. Every time he mentions Chinese medicine, Grandpa said that Chinese medicine is a good thing and a national treasure, but the status quo makes him sad.

Now that Grandpa has retired at home, there are always people with difficult diseases who are going to seek medical treatment. At this time, Grandpa always tirelessly tells patients about Chinese medicine theory and talks about the treatment of certain diseases. I know that he is taking the opportunity to popularize Chinese medicine knowledge and promote Chinese medicine.

The humble grandfather hangs on the pot and is watching the Chinese medicine alone, but I don't know, when will Grandpa's "Traditional Chinese Medicine Dream - Rejuvenating the Dream of Chinese Medicine" become a reality?
