Chapter 1665: Chapter 1665: Stubbornness
Yang Qingyin and Luo Yuqing went back to their room to take a short nap.
It was only four-thirty, and the dinner reception was set for six o’clock, so there was more than an hour left.
Luo Ziling went to find Hu Wenjun and Wang Rongshan to ask about the specific arrangents and to discuss what he had just talked about with Yang Qingyin. Coincidentally, Hu Wenjun and Wang Rongshan were in the sa room, discussing matters.
When the secretary inford them that Luo Ziling was looking for them, they imdiately let him in.
Luo Ziling first asked the two delegation leaders about the specific arrangents for this visit to South Korea. After hearing their plans, he also shared his thoughts. Luo Ziling’s proposal naturally surprised Hu Wenjun and Wang Rongshan, but they thought it was impossible.
After pondering, Hu Wenjun said, “Even if the dical competition is bet on this, it concerns national face, and the other side will certainly not agree.”
“Whether they agree or not is their business; whether we raise the demand is ours,” Luo Ziling did not back down and insisted on his opinion, “If we hold an absolute lead in traditional dicine, they will eventually have to yield to our views. Just as ancient poems cannot be fully translated to convey their charm, Huaxia’s ancient dical classics are also difficult to translate and can only be understood and communicated in Chinese.”
“But this also hinders Chinese dicine from going global.” Wang Rongshan shook his head, feeling that Luo Ziling was still too impulsive; young people are like this.
“No,” Luo Ziling shook his head, “it’s because we don’t pay enough attention to traditional dicine, and our achievents in traditional dicine are not outstanding enough. If we achieve impressive accomplishnts in these two areas, traditional dicine will beco widely learned without needing our promotion. Arica and Britain are powerful, so English becos global; during the Tang Dynasty, Hu people were proud to speak and write in Chinese. Li Bai dared to write poems like ‘Hu …’ to express his confidence. Unlike us now, we don’t even dare to teach students this poem.”
Although Luo Ziling spoke confidently and decisively, Hu Wenjun and Wang Rongshan did not agree with his views and advised him not to be as impulsive as in Japan and to be a bit more rational to avoid big disputes.
“Alright,” Luo Ziling knew he couldn’t persuade them, and ultimately didn’t argue much, “I understand your intentions.”
He didn’t stay long and left, citing that he needed to return to his room to rest.
“Ah, young people just love to be impulsive,” Wang Rongshan sighed, shaking his head in a hating-iron-for-not-being-steel manner as he watched Luo Ziling leave with a bit of temper.
“Looks like there will be a good show to watch,” Hu Wenjun sighed as well.
Hu Wenjun knew that since Luo Ziling ca to talk about these things, he would certainly make a move, and even if they tried to stop him, he wouldn’t change his mind. He deeply understood the power of these noble young n, so he didn’t intend to stop him; he couldn’t stop him even if he wanted to.
Just hoping that when reporting back, they won’t be blad for this.
If there is bla, soone will co to smooth things over.
But Wang Rongshan, still terrified by what happened in Japan, was unwilling to give up and wanted to join forces with Hu Wenjun to pressure Luo Ziling to stop acting recklessly. It concerns national dignity; they can’t act impulsively.
“Old Wang, if he listened to us, there wouldn’t have been so many issues in Japan,” Hu Wenjun said with a bitter smile, “He’s a Crown Prince D; we simply can’t influence his thoughts.”
“How did they allow him to co on this visit?” Wang Rongshan was also frustrated inside, “Soone like him shouldn’t have been allowed to accompany the delegation.”
“Old Wang, I already said, he’s a Crown Prince D, and his dical skills are excellent. Even those old scholars are in awe of him. This visit created a miracle in dicine, forcing the old master of Japan’s traditional dical community, Ishihara Tarou, to admit defeat voluntarily. If soone like him isn’t selected for the delegation, how can it be justified?” Hu Wenjun said, standing up, “I only hope that when we return, soone praises us for his achievents, and that those behind him can speak a few words in our favor.”
“Old Hu, do you an to let him continue acting recklessly in the future?” Wang Rongshan was a bit unwilling to give in.
Hu Wenjun sighed, shook his head, and walked out.
When Luo Ziling returned to his room, his mood turned a bit sour.
He couldn’t believe these two leaders in the group didn’t support his decision.
But after thinking about it, he could understand their cautious mindset.
It’s a common issue among officials, preferring to avoid mistakes rather than seek accomplishnts. Perhaps when he reached their age, he’d be the sa.
Perhaps, this is also a characteristic of the tis.
Luo Ziling recalled the history books he read, how many Tang Dynasty ministers dared to publicly argue their views in the court, so brave ministers like Xiao Yu, Wei Zheng, and Wen Yanbo dared to scold Emperor Taizong of Tang, even chasing him into the palace to do so. They earned their reputations through scolding, contributing to a just and prosperous Tang era—of course, the Zhenguan era was mainly Emperor Taizong’s achievent. He and his historic ministers forged a unique ti period.
But now, most people are like Feng Deyi from the Zhenguan period, seeking to avoid mistakes rather than accomplish achievents, adapting to the preferences of those above.
Even if they believe their views are correct, they dare not express or correct them if it’s against superiors’ opinions.
Alright, Luo Ziling was being stubborn; he thought of these things to motivate himself with ancient examples, feeling justified in doing what he thought was right.
Point out what he deed wrong.
The brawl at Ling Jinhua’s ninetieth birthday, confrontations with Ling Mingrui, daring to get angry in front of Yang Yuanshan—all past incidents fully demonstrated that Luo Ziling was a fearless man who often insisted on the truth.
“I will escalate the matter and see how you handle it,” thinking of the bitter faces of Hu Wenjun and Wang Rongshan, Luo Ziling beca more determined to bring up strong demands in the competition with Koreans.
Moreover, he planned to find a way to step onto the stage and compete with the famous Korean doctors, showing them what true traditional dicine is.
Regardless of whether those old doctors can win, he wants to perform and let the Koreans gain so insight.
When Luo Ziling returned to the room, Yang Qingyin and Luo Yuqing were still asleep.
He didn’t disturb them but instead went back to his room, opened the ThinkPad laptop Yang Qingyin had given him, pulled up so information, and began studying it carefully.
The most outstanding traditional Chinese dicine expert in Japan was Ishihara Tarou. The most outstanding traditional dicine master in Korea was a man nad Xu Chongzhi. Xu Chongzhi was revered by Koreans as a National dicine Expert, with extrely high prestige and an impeccable reputation, with countless disciples under him.
Xu Chongzhi had a son and two daughters, his son Xu Qinglang was also a National dicine Expert with very fine dical skills. Both daughters were renowned in traditional dicine. Xu Chongzhi’s grandson, Xu Zhiyuan, was about the sa age as Luo Ziling and also excelled in dical skills.
This family, indeed, was similar to Japan’s Ishihara Family but more focused on traditional dicine.
Luo Ziling knew he might end up competing with Xu Chongzhi.
He also believed that the other acupuncture bronze man was likely in the hands of the Xu Family.
Knowing your enemy and knowing yourself ensures victory in a hundred battles; he must familiarize himself with their situation to defeat them.
