Chapter 657 He’s On CCTV News Again!
At 8:50 a.m., at the headquarters of the WHO, everyone was present in the conference hall.
Fang Qiu turned his head and glanced at the hall. He calculated secretly and found that there were a total of three thousand people in the conference hall!
“Three thousand people participated, but only Zhang Zhiming and I are the only ones representing the Huaxia people.” Fang Qiu shook his head silently.
This was no longer seen as an endorsement or seeking for approval anymore. It could even be said to be a form of discrimination!
“You’ll soon know how strong Huaxia Chinese Medicine is!”
He took a deep breath and looked up at the rostrum, waiting for the conference to start.
At nine o’clock in the morning, the World Medical Exchange Conference officially began.
On the stage, the ten members of the WHO’s standing committee, including the secretary-general, were on the platform that was a level higher than the stage behind the lectern.
On the left and right sides, the 32 members of the executive committee from all over the world were also seated.
“Swoosh!” When it was time, the first executive member sitting in the first row on the left stood up, walked to the lectern in the center of the stage, and said, “Silence, the World Medical Exchange Conference officially starts now. Let’s welcome the secretary-general of the World Medical Exchange Conference to come on stage and give a speech.”
The executive member immediately returned to his seat and sat down.
At the same time, the secretary-general rose to his feet. With a smile on his face, he raised his hand to greet everyone and then walked to the podium.
“As this medical conference begins, as the secretary-general of the conference, please allow me to give a work report to everyone present and all the people in the world.”
“I’ve been in the position of a secretary-general for five years. During these five years, I’ve used all my power to do everything I can for the World Health Organization and the medical conference.”
“Five years ago, when I just took office…”
The secretary-general spoke very seriously about his contributions while he was in this position over the past five years, as well as his achievements.
Under the stage, Fang Qiu was wearing a pair of headphones.
This headphone was not only connected to the interpreter, but also connected to Zhang Zhiming.
When he heard the interpreter’s speech in the headset, Fang Qiu raised his brows and asked doubtfully, “Is this the World Medical Exchange Conference? Why do I feel that it’s like his commendation conference?”
“Don’t worry.”
Zhang Zhiming’s voice came from the headset. “It has been five years since the secretary-general took office. The term of office is for five years. This year, a new secretary-general will be elected again. Therefore, the secretary-general will take this opportunity to give a summary of what he had done during the five years, so as to be re-elected.”
Fang Qiu asked, “Oh, does he have a chance to be re-elected?”
Zhang Zhiming said, “There should be no problem. He did make some contributions during his term of office. He hasn’t done anything wrong in the past five years.”
Fang Qiu nodded. “That’s fine.”
He didn’t want the secretary-general to resign because he had a hard time getting involved with him. After all, there was still a long way to go for the development of Chinese medicine in Huaxia. In this journey, the secretary-general must be a significant part of it.
The morning’s session had just ended.
Huaxia CCTV News started their broadcast.
In the first minute, it was introducing the main content of today’s World Medical Exchange Conference. The scene was broadcasted on CCTV and there was even a picture of Fang Qiu.
“Chinese Medicine is heading up in the world. Fang Qiu, the young doctor, is attending the medical conference!”
The CCTV News even gave such a headline.
CCTV News was extremely influential in Huaxia.
As the news had just been broadcasted, all the relatives of Fang Qiu’s family were rushing to call Fang Qiu’s parents.
“Beep, beep, beep…”
Fang Qiu’s parents’ mobile phones rang almost at the same time.
The two of them immediately picked up the phone.
“Your son’s on the CCTV News again. Hurry up and watch the TV!”
Both of them received the news from their relatives at the same time. They were both very happy.
The phone did not stop ringing.
People called them one by one. Almost all of their relatives and friends called them. Then they were able to have a rest.
At the same time, many people who knew Fang Qiu received the news that Fang Qiu was on the CCTV News again. For a time, everyone turned on the TV and watched the live broadcast, waiting for Fang Qiu’s news.
There was a piece of news which appeared about thirty seconds on CCTV.
The headline was, “Chinese Medicine is heading to the world. Fang Qiu, the young doctor, is attending the medical conference!”
In the video, Fang Qiu, dressed in a suit and tie, was being interviewed by many foreign reporters.
“Fang Qiu, it’s Fang Qiu.” When Fang Qiu’s mother saw this, she became excited right away.
“His outfit is not bad.” Fang Qiu’s father laughed heartily.
“Of course, my son is so handsome. He’s even handsome in such an ordinary suit. He’s really photogenic!” Fang Qiu’s mother said proudly.
“Hey, look how cocky you are.” Fang Qiu’s father continued to laugh.
“My son is on the CCTV news. How can I not be cocky?” Fang Qiu’s mother said smugly.
At home, Jiang Miaoyu was sitting in the living room with her parents, watching TV.
When she saw the news about Fang Qiu, Jiang Miaoyu’s eyes lit up.
Jiang Miaoyu’s parents looked at each other with some doubts in their eyes.
Mrs. Jiang looked at Jiang Miaoyu and asked, “Miaoyu? You have been in college for a year. Is there any boy that you admire this year?”
“Yes.” Jiang Miaoyu didn’t think much of it and answered casually.
Mrs. Jiang suddenly became nervous and then hurriedly asked, “Who is it? It seems that you admire this student named Fang Qiu. Do you have much contact with each other in school?”
“By the way, if I remember correctly, you also took part in the Young Chinese Medicine Doctor together. You guys must be good friends who know each other very well, right?”
Jiang Miaoyu’s father immediately focused on their conversation.
“Yes, we are good friends.” Jiang Miaoyu stared at the TV and answered vaguely.
Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang looked at each other with some suspicion in their eyes.
Although it was a holiday, the students of University of Jiangjing Chinese Medicine still had a feeling of unparalleled glory. As soon as they heard that Fang Qiu was on the CCTV News again, these students immediately gathered together to wait in front of the TV with their friends.
As soon as Fang Qiu appeared, every student of University of Jiangjing Chinese Medicine immediately pointed at him and bragged, “Look! This is my schoolmate, the famous Master Fang Qiu!”
Even the students in the high school that Fang Qiu once studied in also acted as if they were very familiar with Fang Qiu. They said to everyone, “Look, this is my senior!”
The head teacher of Fang Qiu’s high school even exclaimed while reading the news, “When he was studying in my class, he was a prominent figure in the whole school. No one had expected that this boy would go so far in just one year!
“Ha-ha.” In a residential building in Jiangjing, looking at Fang Qiu on TV, Xu Miaolin smiled smugly and murmured, “I have a good eye. No one can deny it.”
Other TCM colleges were also paying attention to the grand event of the medical community.
Seeing Fang Qiu making an appearance, all the leaders of the major Chinese Medicine colleges exclaimed, “The University of Jiangjing Chinese Medicine is really lucky! They have a brilliant student!”
Of course, Fang Qiu, who was in Switzerland, was not aware of the attention he was receiving in the country and the heated discussions about him all over the country.
After the morning session, Fang Qiu had a simple lunch at noon and rested for a while in the place provided by the WHO. After that, he returned to the conference hall again.
In the afternoon, the conference continued.
After the secretary-general finished his report in the morning, medical exchanges officially began in the afternoon. In the beginning, there were a lot of debates and some voting on some subjects.
As the conference began, the representatives of the various countries who attended the World Medical Exchange Conference would make some resolutions and decisions about some issues, such as air pollution, chemicals, health manpower, violence, non-communicable diseases and the election of the officials for the next term.
First of all, a member of the executive committee made a speech about the air pollution.
“Each year, the indoor air pollution causes 4.3 million people to die and 3.7 million deaths are related to outdoor air pollution…”
Then, there were issues about chemicals, sanitation and manpower and so on.
Then it took more than two hours.
When they talked about the prevention and control of non-communicable diseases, a white man stood up from the seat on the right side of the stage and walked to the lectern in the center of the stage.
This person was the one that Fang Qiu had stolen the limelight from at the entrance of the WHO’s building and been neglected by the reporters who were interviewing him.
“Today, I would like to say something about the non-communicable diseases.”
“I’ve verified the achievements that every country made in non-communicable diseases since the first high-level meeting of United Nations non-communicable diseases issues was held.”
“Globally, from 30 to 70 years old, the rate of death from the non-communicable diseases has declined. Per capita consumption and hypertension rate have also decreased. However, the rate of global obesity and overweightness have also significantly increased.”
“Therefore, I would like to call on the representatives of each country to come up with new intervention measures for non-communicable diseases that can be implemented comprehensively by all the member states and be affordable with high cost-performance value.”
“The development of modern medicine this year is obvious to all. I hope that the development of modern medicine can continue to speed up and be beneficial to patients all over the world.”
“Also!”
“I also have a dislike for traditional medicine, especially sorcery. In this year, this kind of traditional medicine killed a lot of people, especially the so-called sacred but invisible things. They have talked about them blatantly for thousands of years. I want to tell everyone in the world that the biggest difference between modern medicine and traditional medicine is science!”
Hearing that, all the people present immediately turned to look at Fang Qiu.
Undoubtedly, except for Fang Qiu, all the people on the scene majored in modern medicine.
Therefore, everyone was fully aware that he was actually talking about Fang Qiu!
Under everyone’s gazes, Fang Qiu did not say anything, but just gave a faint smile.
It just so happened that this scene was broadcasted by Luo Jialong. And he also secretly translated the last paragraph that the representative said on stage.
When all the viewers who were watching the live broadcast saw this, they lashed out.
“Is he out of his mind?”
“Fang Qiu, take him down!”
“Knock him out!”
“Is there something wrong with this guy? Did Chinese Medicine offend you? Why did you say that about Chinese Medicine so brazenly? Just wait and see. Fang Qiu will definitely annihilate you!”
