Chapter 208 Ideas and Offerings for Schools
director's office.

Seeing Wang Mengde coming in, Dean Lu waved to him happily and asked his secretary to make him a cup of hot tea.

"Comrade Wang Mengde, this morning, your impromptu lecture at the Medical University shocked most of the teachers and students in their school.

You don’t know, at noon, the president of the Medical University called me and talked for more than ten minutes. Most of the time he was praising you, and the rest was just envious of our Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine for producing a genius.”

Dean Lu looked at him with a smile and said.

He and the president of the medical university are old acquaintances. Since they belong to two different camps of Chinese and Western medicine, they have always been competing with each other.

This time, the sour tone of his "old rival" coming through the other end of the phone line made him feel as comfortable as eating ice watermelon in summer.

This was the first time that person expressed envy in front of him.

"By the way, the Medical University wants you to give lectures to them on a long-term basis in the future. If you are free in a week, you can go to one or two classes. If you are not free, you don't have to go. You are free to come and go.

Of course, this is not a mandatory task, but we are asking for your opinion. Your opinion will be the basis for everything.”

Dean Lu continued.

In fact, he was reluctant to let Wang Mengde go, not only because it would waste time, but also because he was afraid of "aiding the enemy."

But he didn't want to make the decision directly, so he just gave a general account of the situation.

"Dean, I'd better just go to the medical university for a few classes, forget about the long term."

Wang Mengde refused directly.

His time is precious now, and he came to see Dean Lu today because he had other ideas.

“Dean, I went to the Medical University today and was deeply touched by the large number of students in their school.

I think our TCM Research Institute should also have its own TCM school to train a large number of TCM talents.”

"Meng De, didn't the country just establish several Chinese medicine schools a few years ago?

Besides, in our Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine, every famous Chinese medicine expert and well-known doctor has several apprentices.

Moreover, the country has been in great difficulty in recent years, with an extreme shortage of both funds and materials, so there is no need to establish another college."

After the secretary left, Dean Lu changed his address and asked curiously.

As early as 1956, the state issued a document to formally establish four Chinese medicine schools including the Beijing College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, marking the beginning of higher education in Chinese medicine in China.

Last year, in 1960, Beijing College of Traditional Chinese Medicine was designated as a national key university by its superiors.

For President Lu, the country’s investment in traditional Chinese medicine education in recent years has been enormous.

Now Wang Mengde has suggested building a new school of traditional Chinese medicine, which makes him feel very strange.

“Dean, the Medical University now has hundreds of students, and in the future, there will be thousands, or even tens of thousands of students.

Most of these students have long study periods, and with strong teaching staff, they are training a large number of elites.

In the future, when thousands of graduates graduate every year, they will go to work in various hospitals or related health and family planning units.

In a few decades, these elites will become the backbone of various hospitals and units, and by then, Chinese medicine will not be able to compete with them. "

Wang Mengde said seriously.

He is not exaggerating.

Previously, the predecessor of the Medical University, the Union Medical College, was pursuing the same “small, precise and advanced” education system as the Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

There were only three people in the first graduating class.

In the following twenty years, only 311 people graduated from Peking Union Medical College, which was a small number but of high quality.

In 1957, after the merger of Peking Union Medical College and the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences.

We began to establish an eight-year long system for undergraduate medical and nursing education.

At the same time, a large number of admissions were also carried out.

Although several TCM schools such as the Beijing College of Traditional Chinese Medicine (the future Beijing University of Chinese Medicine) have been established, they are far behind medical universities in cultivating talents.

In addition to the fact that Chinese medicine is more difficult to learn, the teaching staff is also a big factor.

As Wang Mengde explained, Dean Lu's expression became more and more serious.

“Meng De, what you said makes a lot of sense, but running a Chinese medicine school is not something that can be done overnight.

Moreover, it is unknown whether the superiors will agree to it, after all, there are too many things involved. "

We are still in difficult times and it is the era of planned economy.

It is extremely difficult to get the approval of higher authorities without sufficient reasons.

“Dean, I have thought about this question too.

Why don’t we follow the model of medical universities and find a traditional Chinese medicine school to merge with?

In this way, not only will we have a ready-made school, but many famous Chinese medicine experts and well-known doctors in our research institute can also go to take classes.

I believe that the students we train by then will definitely not be bad, and good ones will be able to enter the research institute directly."

Wang Mengde expressed his thoughts.

In fact, what he didn’t know was that ten years later, the Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine and the Beijing College of Traditional Chinese Medicine actually merged.

Although the two colleges were separated later due to other reasons, the Beijing College of Traditional Chinese Medicine resumed independent operation.

“Well, the method you mentioned is indeed the best solution at present.

However, many things here cannot be solved by simply merging two words, and there are many issues that need to be considered.

Then I will report back to my superiors and see what they think.”

After thinking for a while, Dean Lu finally spoke.

Come out of the dean's office.

Wang Mengde stretched and thought as he walked towards his office.

Dean Lu's attitude today does not seem to be perfunctory.

I guess he really listened.

Now we hope that the higher-ups will agree to merge the Chinese Medical Research Institute with a Chinese Medical school.

After the merger, the training of traditional Chinese medicine talents will be accelerated a lot.

As for the problems that will cause trouble in a few years, he can't think about them too much.

Given their identities as doctors of traditional Chinese medicine, no one who is supposed to be punished can escape.

However, he is now a member of the health care team and has special skills, so I believe he will be safe by then.

After all, no one wants a doctor who can save lives at any time to get into trouble.

a few days later.

The medical team in South Vietnam finally returned home.

In just a few months, dozens of medical teams worked day and night to treat the patients.

At the same time, we also obtained a large amount of first-hand information on the clinical trials of Qinghaosan and artemisinin.

Because the number of test samples is very large, the time limit has been relaxed.

The final clinical trial results are very encouraging.

In particular, Qinghaosan, due to its powerful effect against malaria, made the people of South Vietnam love it.

It has not only become standard equipment in the military, but also the preferred medicine in every household collection.

The pharmaceutical factories in Hainan have already been built and are operating at full capacity.

The country has even started planning to build new pharmaceutical factories in other regions.

Previously, most of it was shipped to South Vietnam. Now that the clinical trials have been completed, Qinghaosan has been proven to be a safe and effective drug.

Therefore, people in the country, especially the many malaria patients in the south, can use it directly.

"Brother, I am in the medical team and heard from the leader why we have to complete the clinical trial by mid-September this time.

It's because the superiors want to take this opportunity to present a gift to the motherland's 12th birthday." Li Xiang, who was dark and thin, sat opposite Wang Mengde and said with a smile.

They finally returned to the capital this morning.

As soon as I arrived at the research institute, I went to see Mr. Pu first, and then went to my senior brother’s office to report.

Next to her, Sun Xiaoru, who had also become much darker and thinner, nodded in agreement.

She also heard about this incident by accident.

"A gift?"

Wang Mengde seemed to be thinking about something.

In fact, he knew a few years ago that many units liked to do things like giving gifts.

Two years ago, a vice president of the Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine also found him and wanted him to produce a major research result as a tribute on the tenth anniversary.

But he declined them all.

Unexpectedly, I cannot escape this fate now.

After all, Qinghaosan was a medicine developed mainly by him.

When talking about this drug, you can't avoid it.

night.

arrive home.

Lying on the bed, Wang Mengde was still thinking about the gift.

"Shengnan, has your unit held any tribute activities in recent years?"

He asked in a low voice after taking a look at his wife's busy figure.

"You mean the tribute before October, right? Two years ago, we did a tribute for the 10th anniversary, but the factory hasn't done it in the past two years."

He Shengnan's hands kept moving, she quickly packed her clothes and then spoke casually.

Most units or factories usually try to make some noise as a tribute in important years.

For example, years that end in five or ten.

There are really not many units or departments that want to make tributes this year.

However, Wang Mengde had some different ideas.

In addition to Artemisinin and Artemisinin, the vaccine research team should also produce results.

He plans to go there in the next two days to see how Liu Shuwei and his team are progressing.

If there is still some shortcoming, he doesn't mind giving some personal guidance so that they can make a big move before October 1st.

the next day.

In an office of the vaccine research team.

Looking at Liu Shuwei, who had dark circles under his eyes, unshaven beard, and greasy hair, Wang Mengde frowned and asked:

"Old Liu, how long has it been since you had a good rest?"

"Hehehe, Team Leader Wang, I just haven't been home for four days."

Liu Shuwei scratched his head embarrassedly.

Over the past month, except for going home once a week on weekends, he has been living and eating at the company during the remaining six working days.

Inspired by him, most of the researchers in the vaccine research team also voluntarily worked overtime like him.

"Lao Liu, work is work, and rest is rest. You need to combine work and rest.

The body is the capital of the nation. If the body is broken, our research will be affected."

Wang Mengde persuaded patiently.

There was nothing he could do about this situation.

Moreover, he doesn't come here often, and he is unable to control everyone's spontaneous behavior.

"Team Leader Wang, don't worry, we will all take care of our health.

The main thing is that this time, everyone wants to produce a result before October 1st.

Once this study is concluded, we will return to normal working hours.”

Liu Shuwei explained with a smile.

The vaccine research team has been established for a long time.

There are also various advanced research equipment and a large number of talented people involved.

Previously, there have been some successful results such as the measles, mumps and rubella triple vaccine and the blood-borne hepatitis B vaccine.

But he and other researchers all agree that these are Wang Mengde's personal honors and have little to do with everyone else.

So, everyone was holding back a lot of energy.

Want to make a breakthrough before this special date arrives.

"Okay, then you have to pay more attention to everyone's situation and don't let anything get into trouble."

Wang Mengde said helplessly: "By the way, what stage have you reached in your research? What difficulties do you have now?"

He was ready to understand the progress of the research and then give some specific suggestions.

So that they can produce results sooner.

Liu Shuwei was excited to see the progress of the research, and then said excitedly:

"Team Leader Wang, even if you don't come today, I will still call you to report.

Our current research has made a breakthrough and is transferring the gene of hepatitis B virus surface antigen into yeast.

We will know whether it is successful or not after the test results come out in two days.”

"Oh, there has been a breakthrough, great."

Wang Mengde also said happily.

Unexpectedly, without his guidance, this group of people, with only a vague understanding of the technology, mastered the basic knowledge of gene editing technology through perseverance and diligence.

"Team Leader Wang, it was actually thanks to one person that we were able to make such a quick breakthrough because of his help."

Liu Shuwei explained.

"who is that?"

Wang Mengde became interested instantly.

This must be a top talent. He wants to meet him. Maybe he has heard of this person's name in his previous life.

"His name is Gu Junxin, and he used to be a key figure in the top research institute in the United States.

Last year, he was imprisoned for some reasons. Finally, with the help of the country, he returned to China two months ago and joined our team. ”

"What crime did he commit abroad?"

"It's funny to say that he was kind-hearted. During the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, he bought a few five-nut mooncakes and brought them to the laboratory to share with his colleagues.

Unexpectedly, after eating the medicine, these colleagues were admitted to the ICU one after another, and then he was accused of poisoning his colleagues.

In fact, this was completely unintentional. Who would have thought that these foreigners would suffer from severe allergies after eating the five-nut mooncakes.

This matter happened to be known by the special departments of the country. Knowing that he was a talent that the motherland urgently needed, they rescued him and secretly sent him back to the country after he was released from prison. "

Allergic to five-nut mooncakes!
When Wang Mengde first heard the news, he was stunned for a moment.

But then he thought again, he had heard in his previous life that foreigners were allergic to many things, and their allergies were very serious.

Thinking of this, an idea came to my mind.

He has a new idea of ​​how to make money from foreigners.
