"Study seriously, having a photographic memory only speeds up the process. I believe you can do it; don't lose your drive because of that. That's not the Ji Xiuwen I know."

Thinking about this, Lu Xuan said, "Do you remember what we said when we graduated?"

"We promised to grow together, to promote traditional Chinese medicine together. This road needs you to fight through the thorns with me. After all, it's hard to go to the end alone. If possible, let's ask other classmates. Together, we can..."

At this point, Lu Xuan's gaze became more determined than ever: "Make traditional Chinese medicine mainstream again."

Make traditional Chinese medicine mainstream again?

Ji Xiuwen opened his mouth.

Seeing his expression, Lu Xuan smiled and said, "It may be difficult, but who knows unless we try? What do you think, Ji Xiuwen?"

"Old friend, you don't seem like someone who's only been graduated for a little over half a year. Your every move is so mature, and this goal is so daunting. Taking back the mainstream from Western medicine, do you know how difficult that is?" Ji Xiuwen took a breath, unable to believe Lu Xuan would propose such an almost impossible goal.

How many people practice Western medicine worldwide, and how many practice Chinese medicine?

The two are not even in the same league, like a child going unarmed against a fully armed warrior, without any chance of winning.

Not to mention the world; even within our own country, the gap is unimaginably large.

And crucially, it's not just the broken heritage, but the medical environment is much worse now.

As the essence of our country, traditional Chinese medicine with thousands of years of history should not be inferior to Western medicine, but its current environment is indeed worse.

In a time without Western medicine, because of varying abilities, some Chinese medicine practitioners were inefficient, but there was always demand. After all, people inevitably get sick, and when they do, they need doctors, so Chinese medicine was always passed down.

But now, as everyone rushes toward fast-acting, short-course Western medicine, Chinese medicine faces a dilemma of having no one to heal.

Chinese medicine itself is a process of continuous practice and accumulating experience, but as people support Western medicine, Chinese medicine naturally falls into a "no experience, no patients" vicious cycle.

Many say that Chinese medicine becomes more valuable with age, yet it hasn't been given enough opportunities. It's like job hunting today; many companies want to hire experienced employees, but how can experience be gained without working?

Moreover, the current social development has led to an increase in hospitals and medical students, doubling the pressure on Chinese medicine.

And, the training model of Chinese medicine has significant issues.

Each of these problems is hard to solve on its own, let alone all together.

Wanting to defeat Western medicine and make Chinese medicine the mainstream, Ji Xiuwen felt his old friend's thinking was somewhat frightening, even dangerous.

Seeing the disbelief on Ji Xiuwen's face, Lu Xuan knew his idea was a bit crazy but continued to look at him seriously, extending a fist of friendship:

"Ji Xiuwen, let's be crazy together!"

"Although it's crazy, however..."

Ji Xiuwen also extended his fist, bumping it with Lu Xuan's: "I think this idea is pretty good."

If you're not crazy when you're young, then when?

Even if we fail, at least we've lived this life to the fullest.
