Yan Dongyang waved goodbye to Rolls Royce, who was driving slowly out of his sight. He turned around and stopped a taxi to rush to Manila hospital.
Mr. Lacker sat opposite Lin Tian, and there was no communication between them. The atmosphere in the car was somewhat awkward. Fortunately, the car drove very fast and soon came to the front door of the presidential palace.
"Well, please do it!" Lacker pushed the door open first and got off the car. He respectfully invited Lin Tian to get off the car. Lin Tian was also very impolite and enjoyed the imperial service.
He got out of the car and walked to the president's office under the leadership of lac.
There is a long red carpet between the main gate and the president's main gate. About ten steps on both sides, there are guards standing on both sides in traditional Philippine uniform
After about ten minutes' walk, I entered the gate of the presidential palace and finally came to Aguero's office.
Lac knocked softly and opened the office door a few times. The president looked up in his glasses and saw Lin Tian standing behind lac. He was more energetic than the photo. He was young and full of vigor, with a modest smile. He was really different from the activist in the newspaper who always tried to turn around the raging waves and wanted to revitalize traditional Chinese medicine.
Lacker took Lin Tian to the office door and turned to leave. He also took the door with him when he left.
"Sit down. I'm here today just to have a chat with you." Aguero pointed to the sofa in front of his desk and said with a smile to Lin Tian.
As president, Aguero has many opportunities every day. It's really rare for him to finish his official business, not to mention chatting with others. Lin Tian knows that there must be something important for him to find himself today.
He politely saluted Aguero, then found a place to sit down, not far from Aguero.
Aguero's initial impression of Lin Tian was very good. He was gentle, reasonable and modest.
"Mr. President, you speak good Chinese." As soon as Lin Tian opened his mouth, he put a high hat on Aguero. Of course, this is also a strategy. Only by winning the trust of the president, can we continue to talk about the topic.
Aguero smiles calmly and says modestly, "I studied and worked in Huaxia for five years in my early years, and I learned Chinese fairly well."
"In that case, then, your excellency, can you better understand my present situation?" Lin Tian said frankly: "you don't have to say what you want me to do, let me guess first, OK?"
Aguero laughs but doesn't speak, and his favor increases a lot. He just thinks that this guy is really smart, and he also likes to talk to smart people.
"Is it the report about traditional Chinese medicine that has been blatant recently?" Lin Tian asked tentatively.
He didn't just guess here by his own subjectivity. Earlier, Mo Li was asked by Qin Xueqing to photograph what she saw last time in the newspaper and put it into the newspaper. As a result, there was a big discussion in Manila about whether traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine should coexist.
In the past half a month, this kind of discussion has not dissipated. With yodoni's efforts to establish the Department of traditional Chinese medicine, the discussion has once again reached a new climax.
Aguero can find himself most of this reason, Lin genius dare to dare to ask.
"You're smart. That's right. That's why I came to you." Aguero admitted without the slightest concealment.
Lin Tian looks like he's all ears, smiling and waiting for the words behind Aguero.
To Lin Tian's surprise, Aguero once again said: "my early experience in China made me have special feelings for TCM. So when I saw the news about you and TCM, I was shocked..."
Lin Tian did not speak, quietly looking at Aguero, listening to him tell his story.
"I admit that the Philippines has a prejudice against traditional Chinese medicine, which is deeply rooted, and such prejudice is against Chinese people..."
Lin Tian was surprised at Aguero's confession. You know, not all people can so admit the evils that are abhorrent and helpless. His face is more and more serious, and he knows that Aguero is a respectable person in his heart.
"At the beginning of my term of office, I also vigorously promoted traditional Chinese medicine, but unfortunately it failed." At this point, Aguero shrugged his shoulders with regret. To tell you the truth, he took Lin Tian as a friend for many years. He didn't feel strange at first.
Lin Tian also understands that traditional Chinese medicine has its own weaknesses. Training a doctor of Western medicine is much faster than that of traditional Chinese medicine in terms of cost and time. Moreover, western medicine can keep pace with the times and apply science and technology to medicine. However, traditional Chinese medicine has always been developing slowly, whether it is a means of treatment or a training mode, it is always a master with apprentices, Starting from the boy reciting Tang tou song
Also very able to understand Aguero's situation, thought a lot, but did not say a word, patiently listen to Aguero's words.
Aguero also seemed to find a confidant, and suddenly opened his voice. He could not stop talking. He said: "when promoting traditional Chinese medicine, I found that there was a lot of resistance. Both the people around me and the people stood up against it. In addition, when promoting traditional Chinese medicine, those who did not understand it were absolutely not allowed. As a result, as soon as my proposal came out, it was rejected by the parliament on the spot..."
"It's not fair to traditional Chinese medicine!" Lin Tian couldn't help but interjected: "are they treating Chinese medicine in this way to cover up their ulterior motives?"
Aguero nodded with approval and replied: "many times, as a president, I mostly have to listen to the opinions of the parliament. You may not know much about the political structure here. The parliament has a lot of power, and sometimes it can even influence my decisions..."
"For example?"
"For example, in the recent confrontation with China, the Huangyan Island incident has always been strongly advocated by some people in the parliament. I have always expressed my opposition to it, but..." Aguero smiles, full of helplessness.
Lin Tianneng understands that behind his helpless smile, he really has to face humanity. The serious consequences of the decisions made by the parliament often have to be borne by him as president, which may be the most important reason why he often feels trapped.
After a long silence, Lin Tian suddenly said, "why do you want to tell me this?"
Aguero spread his hands and said with a bitter smile, "I don't know."
Lin Tian was almost shocked by this reply and fell on the ground. He supported his forehead and said, "Mr President, are you kidding?"
Aguero shook his head seriously and said, "no, I'm talking about these things with you seriously. I don't have the slightest idea of joking."
Lin Tian is silent again. He really can't find the right words to answer the president, who is easy to feel cordial.
"The reports in the newspapers made my blood boil, and also aroused the memory that has been sealed up for a long time." Aguero help the forehead, a thinking, the whole person suddenly fell into memory.
"When I was young, I was full of interest in Chinese culture, especially in traditional Chinese medicine. However, I found that no matter how I studied, I only knew a little bit, which made me feel more awe for those who studied traditional Chinese Medicine..."
With a faint smile, Lin Tian clearly understood that Aguero's efforts to study traditional Chinese medicine were the reason why he made little progress. The difficulty in learning traditional Chinese medicine lies in his understanding. If you can't get the advice from a famous teacher, it's useless to work hard now.
This also made him feel very lucky that he was adopted by yaowangzong, an old man who seems to be unreliable, but in fact, he has profound medical skills, and he gave them all his medical skills. Of course, this is inseparable from Lin Tian's talent.
"In fact, although I'm a president, I'm more of a normal person with flesh and blood. I'm happy, angry, sad, and I hope the people can understand me and support me." Aguero is also full of ambition.
"Do you mean to take traditional Chinese medicine as a breakthrough to let the public know your determination to reform?" Looking at the essence through the phenomenon, Lin Tian can easily find the reason why Aguero came to him from his words.
Aguero's eyes are shining. He didn't expect Lin Tian to understand his intention so quickly. There are many social conflicts in the Philippines, most of the people live in hardship, and the local rich firmly control their property.
Chen's family has assets and can even compete with the government's annual revenue. If this goes on, the country is bound to be in turmoil. It is for this reason that Aguero thought of finding a breakthrough in reform. However, it was not these that moved him, but Lin Tian's words.
"A word from me?" Lin Tian is very surprised to look at Aguero, greatly puzzled asked.
Aguero nodded solemnly and replied: "you said that traditional Chinese medicine will not die, because there are thousands of Chinese people, who have been passed down from generation to generation. Traditional Chinese medicine is a spirit and a cultural heritage..."
With that, Aguero was immediately excited and his face was ruddy.
“……”
Lin Tian didn't expect that Aguero, who is over 50 years old, has the impulse and passion of young people when it comes to his ideals. He just feels that the black threads on his head fall to the ground one by one and can't pick them up.
"Your Excellency, how do you plan to cooperate with me?"
Lin Tian finally asked what he was most concerned about. At first, he didn't have any impression of the Philippines. It was Yu Laode who was unfairly treated in Manila that made him come here to contact with people and things here and get to know Cao Deyi, a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner who has been living in hardship.
Lin Tian didn't do God's ambition to spread light and hope to the world. He just wanted to do his best to change Cao Deyi's living environment with his friends through his own efforts.
When he heard about it in the morning, he could die in the evening. Traditional Chinese medicine is what Lin Tian pursued all his life. For this reason, he can devote his life, even his life.
What happened in Manila is that he used his passion and action to wake up the indecisive Chinese and unite them to fight against unfair treatment.
As a result of the struggle, he finally sat in front of the president of the Philippines. Aguero also wanted to change the status quo of traditional Chinese medicine through him, so as to carry out political reform from top to bottom.
