Chapter 1258 Global Live Broadcast

Pan Guangfa was extremely pleased with himself. “Aren’t you trying to develop Chinese medicine? Aren’t you known as the Medical Immortal of Chinese medicine? Aren’t you today’s guest lecturer? I’m going to undermine you. Let’s see what you can do.”

However, there was one thing he didn’t quite understand: the World Medical Association’s publicity for this event wasn’t just limited to the reporters present. Alice had also arranged for online media to livestream the entire exchange meeting to the whole world.

In China, Yang Zhengdao attached great importance to this World Medical Exchange Meeting and called on all staff in the entire health System to watch the live broadcast.

He himself had sat in front of his computer long before the exchange meeting began, watching intently.

After seeing Pan Guangfa’s speech, Yang Zhengdao immediately darkened. He hadn’t expected the other party to publicly do such a thing.

As the Director of the General Administration of Health, he was like this, let alone the ordinary people sitting in front of their televisions.

“Who is this person? Is he a mad dog? How can a Chinese person even bite Chinese medicine?”

“Going outside to say our Chinese medicine is no good, isn’t this a traitor?”

“The key is that he’s talking absolute nonsense. Does he understand Chinese medicine? Does he know what Chinese medicine is? He learned a bit of Western medicine and then said Chinese medicine is no good. This is forgetting one’s roots…”

Pan Guangfa’s words completely enraged Chinese medicine practitioners and enthusiasts. Even ordinary Chinese citizens were extremely dissatisfied with him, and even those Western medicine practitioners in China felt his actions were extremely inappropriate.

But he himself was unaware of this, still sitting proudly at the front desk.

At this moment, a yellow-skinned reporter stood up: “Mr. Pan, as far as I know, medical expenses in China are very high, and Chinese medicine precisely lowers the medical costs for ordinary people. Is that correct?”

Pan Guangfa said: “This statement is completely wrong. In our China, the cost of Western medicine treatment is already very low, and there’s no need for Chinese medicine to lower costs.”

His answer was beyond everyone’s expectations. The reporter asked again: “Mr. Pan, is that really true? This seems different from what I know.”

“Believe me, I’m not wrong. Our medical costs in China are indeed very low, and seeing a doctor is especially cheap. Everyone can afford it,” Pan Guangfa spoke eloquently. “Let me give you an example, and everyone will believe that what I’m saying is true.

In our China, if you go to the vicinity of major hospitals in the capital or provincial cities, many family members accompanying patients sleep either in the corridors, or on the playgrounds of nearby schools, and some even sleep on the sidewalks of the road.

What does this show? It shows that in our China, even people who can’t guarantee basic living

can afford to come to provincial cities, or even the capital, to see a doctor. In this situation, aren’t medical expenses low?”

After he finished speaking, the reaction at the World Medical Association was not very strong, because most people didn’t know the true situation.

But China was different; the people watching the live broadcast immediately erupted.

“Where did this scoundrel come from? Isn’t this talking nonsense? I was hospitalized for a month a while ago and spent over a hundred thousand yuan. Is that still considered low cost?”

“Did this guy go out without his brain? Nowadays, if you get a serious illness, many people will lose everything. Is this a disease that ordinary people can afford to treat?”

“I’m truly speechless. Family members sleeping on the street can become evidence of low medical expenses?

Isn’t it because medical expenses are too high, all the money goes to the hospital, and they don’t have money to afford a hotel? Otherwise, who would want to sleep on the street? Who would want to sleep in the corridor?”

His viewpoint completely aroused public indignation. Many people wished they could directly pull him out of the screen and beat him up to vent their anger.

Almost instantly, his speech was immediately pushed to the top of major websites. Looking at the comment section, it was undoubtedly filled with curses.

“Nonsense!”

Yang Zhengdao slapped the table heavily. This Pan Guangfa really spoke without restraint. How could he say such brainless things? Did he not consider the consequences?

At the venue, no more reporters continued to ask questions, and Pan Guangfa finally concluded his speech.

He glanced at Ye Bufan next to him, secretly sneering in his heart, “Let’s see how you clean this up.”

According to the schedule of the exchange meeting, the second item was for the lecturers to give their talks, and then accept questions from the reporters and doctors present.

Originally, Alice had arranged for the Chinese delegation’s speech to be the last, and Ye Bufan’s appearance to be the first.

She considered that both came from China, which would better promote Chinese medicine, but she didn’t expect to encounter a brainless Pan Guangfa, leading to the current situation.

Ye Bufan, however, felt no burden and walked onto the podium with a calm expression.

“Everyone, I am Ye Bufan from China, and I am a practitioner of Chinese medicine.

Chinese medicine is a very complex subject, not something that can be explained in a few words. I won’t go into the specific theories, but I’ll first introduce you to the advantages of Chinese medicine.

Firstly, from a medical perspective, Chinese medicine emphasizes holistic treatment, not treating the head for a headache and the foot for a footache, but fundamentally and thoroughly treating the illness.

Secondly, Chinese medicine is basically pure natural Chinese herbs, which do not harm the liver or kidneys, and have very few, or even no, side effects.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Thirdly, the economic cost of Chinese medicine treatment is very low, allowing more families and ordinary people to afford medical care.

Alright, that’s all I’ll introduce about Chinese medicine. I believe you have many questions to ask. Let’s begin now.”

Below the stage, Cao Xinghua and the other old Chinese medicine practitioners nodded frequently. Not putting himself in a high and mighty position and giving a long lecture was precisely Ye Bufan’s cleverness.

These foreigners present knew nothing about the Chinese medicine System, and it was impossible for them to understand Chinese medicine in a short time.

First stating his advantages, and then answering questions, was absolutely the best way to promote it.

Pan Guangfa, on the other hand, had a cold sneer on his face. In his opinion, the trouble he had caused was already enough. Once the other party accepted the sharp questions from the reporters present, he would naturally be extremely embarrassed and humiliated.

Indeed, the job of these reporters was to capture news sensitive points and create suitable news material.

As soon as the Q&A session began, a reporter immediately stood up.

“Mr. Ye, you praise Chinese medicine so highly, but that Mr. Pan just said that Chinese medicine is not as scientific as Western medicine and will inevitably be replaced by Western medicine.

As a Chinese person, he doesn’t even endorse Chinese medicine. What do you think about this?”

This question was extremely sharp. Everyone’s eyes gathered on this young Eastern face, wanting to see how he would answer.

“Firstly, I need to correct your statement. I am not praising Chinese medicine; I am simply stating the facts.”

Ye Bufan did not show the expected irritation that some might have anticipated, remaining calm.

“Secondly, regarding your question, I want to reiterate one point: in the face of medicine, there is no racial distinction; there are only differences in medical Systems.

Mr. Pan Guangfa, although he is the head of the Chinese delegation, he only studied Western medicine and knows absolutely nothing about Chinese medicine.

That is to say, when it comes to Chinese medicine, he is no different from you. Making arbitrary comments before understanding a medical field is a manifestation of extreme irresponsibility.

For example, you are speaking English now and do not understand our Chinese language at all.

In this situation, if you arbitrarily comment on whether Chinese is good or bad, that is complete nonsense and simply baseless.”

(Regarding the remarks about low treatment costs, I quoted a statement from an expert in real society, which was also broadcast on television.

At that time, it really angered the black beer, and now I’m using it to refute it.)
