Courtyard House: Starting by inheriting the tradition and suppressing the barbarians.

Following Dr. Smith's apology.

The atmosphere in the entire conference hall underwent a dramatic change.

The previous sarcasm, disdain, and being sidelined have all turned into awe, fervor, and thunderous applause.

The organizer's director-general, an elderly Swiss man with gray hair, personally walked to a corner.

He grasped Li Xuan's hand with a face full of shame: "Mr. Li, I must apologize to you."

"It was our narrow-minded prejudice that almost made us miss a true master of medicine."

"We would be honored if you could come up on stage as a special guest of this summit and say a few words to us!"

Li Xuan, who was not originally scheduled to speak, was now being treated like a star and invited to the center of the podium.

The spotlight shone on him.

Li Xuan stood in front of the podium, showing no signs of being flattered or excited.

His expression remained calm, as if all of this was perfectly normal.

He scanned the entire room, looking down at the experts who had just been so aloof.

Now he's like a student eager for knowledge, holding a notebook.

"Many people have asked me, what's the principle behind that injection?"

"Isn't it Eastern witchcraft?"

Li Xuan spoke clearly into the microphone.

Simultaneous interpretation ensured the message reached every corner of the venue.

"I want to tell everyone, that's not witchcraft, that's science!"

"It's just that it's a higher dimension of life science that you haven't been able to understand yet."

"Western medicine examines the 'form' of a disease, such as cells, viruses, or organs."

"Traditional Chinese medicine treats illness by looking at 'qi,' the whole body, balance, and the resonance between man and the universe."

Li Xuan did not explain those obscure and difficult-to-understand Yin-Yang and Five Elements.

Instead, it uses the most modern language to explain the "systems theory" and "holographic view" of traditional Chinese medicine.

"The human body is a microcosm."

"Meridians are the network for the transmission of energy."

"From a Western medical perspective, the prince's illness was caused by abnormal electrical discharges in the brain's neurons."

"But in the view of traditional Chinese medicine, it is just a storm caused by the blockage of energy channels."

"My injection wasn't to kill the virus, but to dredge the river and let the floodwaters return to their proper place."

The audience was silent.

Even the most stubborn Western medical experts were now completely engrossed in listening.

Li Xuan's words were like a key.

It opened the door to a new medical world that they had never set foot in before.

"Slap! Slap! Slap!"

It's unclear who started it, but applause rang out again and lasted for a long time.

Dr. Smith stood below the stage, looking at the radiant Eastern man on the platform, and lowered his head in shame.

He knew that from this day forward, his role on the world's medical map would change.

Traditional Chinese medicine will no longer be the "witchcraft" that people ridicule.

It is a towering peak that we must look up to!

......

the next day.

The entire Western media was in an uproar.

The Times front-page headline: "The Mysterious Magician from the East—Li Xuan!"

Le Figaro: "A Golden Needle Conquers Geneva!"

The New York Times: "The Hand of God? Or Ancient Eastern Wisdom?"

The photo of Li Xuan using acupuncture to revive the oil prince was published in the most prominent position in major newspapers.

The World Health Organization even issued a statement, which was unprecedented.

Acknowledge the unique value of Traditional Chinese Medicine in emergency care and chronic disease management.

They also announced the establishment of a "Special Committee on Traditional Medicine" and invited Li Xuan to serve as its honorary chairman for life.

The Chinese delegation that was once assigned to sit next to the toilet.

On the return trip, we were treated with the highest level of hospitality!

A special car from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs escorted them directly to the airport's elevated walkway!

......

Three days later, at Beijing Capital International Airport.

The autumn wind carried a hint of chill.

But outside the airport's VIP lounge, things were bustling with activity.

Compared to the quiet and skeptical atmosphere at the time of departure, the airport today is practically a sea of ​​flowers.

High-ranking officials from the Ministry of Health, and presidents of major hospitals...

Countless crowds of people and reporters who had heard the news surrounded the exit, making it impossible to pass through.

"They're here! They're here!"

Amid cheers from the crowd, Li Xuan, arm in arm with Hua Youlin, walked out of the passage, looking radiant.

The flashes were going off like crazy, almost blinding people.

"Dean Li! Congratulations on your triumphant return!"

"You are a hero of our country!"

"Dean Li, I heard that a foreign prince offered you an oil field... but you refused it. Is that true?"

Amidst the chorus of praise, a slightly embarrassed figure desperately squeezed his way to Li Xuan's side.

It was the same person who once vehemently denounced traditional Chinese medicine as pseudoscience in the newspapers.

Dr. Wu Deren, known as "the first surgeon in Western medicine," even suggested canceling Li Xuan's trip.

At this moment, Wu Deren's face was full of fawning smiles, and he was holding a huge bouquet of flowers in his hands.

They've completely lost that arrogant public intellectual attitude they once had.

"Oh! Dean Li! Teacher Li! It's me, Xiao Wu!"

Wu Deren brazenly squeezed in front of Li Xuan and stuffed the flowers into Li Xuan's arms.

"I knew you could do it! When I wrote that in the newspaper...it was to encourage you!"

"That's all just reverse psychology!"

"See, you have truly lived up to expectations and brought glory to the country!"

The reporters and onlookers around him looked on with disdain when they heard this.

I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen anyone this shameless.

Li Xuan stopped and looked at Wu Deren, who was blocking his way.

He neither accepted the flowers nor got angry.

There wasn't even a trace of disgust in his eyes, only the indifference one would show when looking at a roadside stone.

"Who are you?" Li Xuan asked calmly.

Wu Deren's smile froze instantly: "I...I am Wu Deren!"

"A PhD student who studied in the US! We had a brief period together before..."

"oh."

Li Xuan nodded.

He then turned sideways and walked around Wu Deren, just like walking around a telephone pole blocking his way.

"I don't know him."

Just three words.

It was like three resounding slaps to Wu Deren's face.

Wu Deren stood frozen in place, holding the flowers, his face turning a deep purplish-red.

A burst of laughter came from the surrounding area.

The reporters who were originally going to interview him all turned their cameras on his embarrassing and unsightly state.

Li Xuan didn't turn his head and strode towards the Hongqi sedan that came to greet him.

It's a waste of life to even glance at such a petty person who only bullies his own kind and changes his mind depending on the wind.

"You can't talk about ice with a summer insect."

Sitting in the car, Li Xuan watched the scenery rushing past the window and remembered the words he had spoken before setting off.

Now, winter has arrived.

Those cicadas that only know how to chirp should shut up.

On this day, Li Xuan's name resounded throughout the land of China.

Traditional Chinese medicine has been officially recognized!
