Chapter 1604: Chapter 1604: Luo Ziling’s Stunning Success
Hu Wenjun did not expect that when the Japanese welcod them at the airport, they would face such questioning.
As soone within the system, Hu Wenjun fully understood the consequences if he failed to answer properly in such a situation.
If he couldn’t reply to the Japanese question right after the delegation had landed and before heading to the hotel, losing the etiquette of the Celestial Empire and losing face, the dia, especially Japanese dia, would definitely report extensively, perhaps even deliberately stirring things up, which would result in great embarrassnt for them.
After all, the purpose of the Huaxia delegation’s visit to Japan was to compare dical skills with masters of Japanese traditional dicine.
Of course, this purpose was privately acknowledged; officially, it was deed as an exchange visit.
If he was perceived as inferior at first eting, it would be his responsibility.
To lose dignity and responsibility, that would be troubleso for him.
Yet, if he responded too aggressively and even had a confrontation with the Japanese, that would also be unfavorable.
After all, as the leader of the Huaxia delegation, he represented Huaxia and could not behave aggressively.
Therefore, after a brief surprise, he responded rather gracefully, “There will always be supporters and opponents for any matter, just like so consider our daily face washing and teeth brushing unscientific. So, having such voices is not bizarre.”
Hu Wenjun’s response was quite reasonable and fitting, but the Japanese with a little mustache, appearing rather sleazy, did not relent, continuing, “I heard that in Huaxia’s civilian discussions, there are intense argunts about abolishing traditional dicine. Everyone thinks Chinese dicine is pseudoscience, advocating for the complete replacent of traditional dicine with Western dicine. Moreover, during your National People’s Congress gatherings, soone has submitted this case. It’s not rely an issue of academic dispute, but rather the voice of the people, the public’s voice.”
After translating these words into Huaxia language, he continued, “But in our Japan, the situation is entirely different; most of us Japanese believe in traditional dicine and think if it is combined with modern dicine, it would be an excellent way of treatnt and health maintenance. Although traditional dicine originated in Huaxia, in Huaxia it’s already reduced to a condition that everyone wants to beat down, which only ans that traditional dicine has thoroughly declined in Huaxia.”
Unexpectedly, the Japanese were so aggressive that Hu Wenjun was very angry, but he could not lose face and chastise the other party.
The others in the Huaxia delegation were equally outraged upon hearing the translation, but since the officials led by Hu Wenjun were speaking with Japanese officials, they stood behind and felt it was inconvenient to speak.
At this mont, a voice rang out, “What our Japanese friends said is correct. Indeed, many in Huaxia propose the abolition of traditional dicine, just like many in Japan propose relocating the spirit tablets from the Yasukuni Shrine. It’s the sa logic because there are several perspectives on any matter, it’s impossible to unify. Also, please understand one thing, it’s precisely because many propose the abolition of Chinese dicine that we ca to visit.”
This wasn’t said by a delegation official but by soone standing behind them.
Everyone turned around to see the speaker, the most handso young man in the group, and were greatly surprised.
Our translator was stunned, uncertain whether to translate Luo Ziling’s aggressive words for the Japanese side.
Of course, the Japanese translator understood Luo Ziling’s words. When hearing Luo Ziling ntion the Yasukuni Shrine, she was furious. However, suspecting that this Huaxia delegation mber might have misphrased “shrine” as “toilet,” she didn’t translate it because it wasn’t said by the Huaxia delegation leader.
Amidst everyone’s surprise, a pleasant female voice rose, fluently translating Luo Ziling’s words into Japanese. Yet she didn’t translate Luo Ziling’s term “divine toilet” into “god’s toilet,” feeling it unnecessary to do so. After all, that was sothing related to national dignity; saying it dostically was fine, but on Japanese soil, such words would only lead to trivial disputes, which were needless.
The one translating for Luo Ziling was naturally Lin Lan, proficient in Japanese.
After translating, she closed her mouth and quietly stood beside Luo Ziling.
After hearing Luo Ziling’s words, those delegation mbers standing before Luo Ziling quickly shifted to expose him. Seeing such young Huaxia personnel saying such words, all the Japanese personnel were stunned.
“Who are you?” asked one of the Japanese reception personnel in Huaxia language.
“Many people say I’m the successor of Taiyi Divine Needle. My na is Luo Ziling,” Luo Ziling arrogantly announced his na, for the first ti claiming the title of successor of Taiyi Divine Needle.
Young Luo Ziling actually claid to be the successor of Taiyi Divine Needle, causing so Japanese dical personnel welcoming the Huaxia delegation to instantly think the young man was crazy. They knew Taiyi Divine Needle was a mysterious acupuncture skill, long lost, but unexpectedly, now soone appeared claiming to be its successor; they couldn’t believe it.
“Young man, don’t speak nonsense,” said a short, sowhat older Japanese with stiff Huaxia language, “do you know what Taiyi Divine Needle is?”
“Sorry, I don’t know what Taiyi Divine Needle is, but I know it’s a magical acupuncture skill,” Luo Ziling replied with a smile, “If you are unaware of what the Taiyi Divine Needle acupuncture skill is and call it a re thing, I’m willing to enlighten you.”
As the personnel of both sides t at the airport exit, a few journalists from Huaxia and many from Japan were standing by, covering the event.
The aggressive deanor of Japanese officials just made Japanese journalists feel extrely satisfied.
Yet unexpectedly, soon enough, the scene shifted, with Huaxia personnel assuming the aggressive stance.
Moreover, the aggressive display was not by the officials of the Huaxia delegation, but by a young mber of it.
Hu Wenjun had actually hoped soone would stand up for him to question the Japanese side since so things were inappropriate for him to say, but delegation mbers could. Luo Ziling stood up, saying even more aggressive words than he expected, making him feel relieved.
Seeing Luo Ziling fearlessly confront the Japanese, Hu Wenjun indeed felt delighted in his heart.
It was Luo Ziling, no ordinary individual, who stood up to question the other side, even if causing so trouble, it wouldn’t beco a real issue. Therefore, upon witnessing Luo Ziling and the others engaging in verbal combat, he did not intervene.
Luo Ziling’s words angered the short Japanese, but before he could speak, he was halted by a gesture from a Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare official. That official looked at Luo Ziling and asked with a hint of authority, “I want to know why you said because many people propose abolishing Chinese dicine, that’s why you ca to visit.”
“Because once we defeat you in dical skills, those people will shut up,” said Luo Ziling, his expression full of contempt.
