Traveling back to 1977

Chapter 315 is really easy to learn!
After breakfast, everyone boarded a minibus and headed to the health school.

The health school was established relatively early. The "Health Personnel Training Class" built in 52 was the predecessor of the health school. Less than two years after its completion, the training class was transformed into the "Elementary Health School".

People who come later may be unfamiliar with "primary school" and not know what level it corresponds to.

At that time, in addition to primary schools for health, there were also teacher training schools.

Unlike secondary vocational schools, which are equivalent to high school, primary vocational schools are equivalent to junior high school. In other words, primary school graduates can enter these schools after passing the exams and are directly assigned jobs after graduation. They are the earliest vocational training schools.

In addition, the enrollment time was not uniform back then, and some children entered primary school as young as 4 or 5 years old. Therefore, many people were still under 14 years old when they started working. ... It's not that there weren't even younger children, but schools would usually keep them for a couple more years until they were about 14 years old before letting them go.

Otherwise, being too young would be inappropriate, and the public wouldn't trust them.

The purpose of establishing primary schools was also to meet the demand for professionals at the grassroots level as quickly as possible.

Later, with the development of education, around the 70s and 80s, these immature "primary schools" gradually disappeared from history, and the starting point of vocational education was raised to the "secondary vocational school" stage. Perhaps only older people still remember "primary normal schools" and "primary health schools".

Shortly after it was transformed from a training course into a primary school, during the "Leap Forward" period, this primary health school was naturally upgraded to a secondary vocational school.

Less than a year later, as various districts and counties in the Yunhu area successively established their own secondary vocational "health schools", the prefectural committee felt that it was necessary to have its own higher health school to maintain its reputation, so it upgraded this secondary vocational school again and turned it into the only health-related junior college in the Yunhu area.

Following its original trajectory, Yunhu Health School was expected to be upgraded again in the 1990s, becoming an undergraduate institution and qualified to enroll graduate students. Whether it would be master's or doctoral programs, Chen Fan didn't delve into the details. However, this school held considerable influence within the entire health system of Jiangnan Province, and many of the system's top figures were graduates of this school.

But right now, it's just a small junior college, confined to a few old classrooms, with just over a thousand students.

As the car pulled up to the entrance of the health school, it slowed down. Chen Fan chatted with someone while keeping an eye on the area around the school gate.

Almost instantly, he spotted Jiang Tiantian hiding in a corner not far from the school gate and immediately called out, "Excuse me, please stop for a moment."

The driver instinctively slammed on the brakes, and everyone in the car lurched forward, but thankfully no one fell.

Yan Liyuan immediately turned to look at him, "Teacher Chen, what's wrong?"

Everyone around him turned to look at him.

Chen Fan chuckled awkwardly, "A friend of mine came over, I'm not sure if it's convenient for her to come in."

Yan Liyuan looked around. "Your friend? Where is he?"

Chen Fan coughed lightly, "In that corner on the left, next to the road."

Yan Liyuan looked in the direction he indicated, paused for a moment, then came to his senses, turned to look at him with a meaningful gaze, "I didn't expect you to have friends in the prefectural committee. Why didn't you mention it before?"

The dozen or so old men next to them, whose combined age could be several hundred years, were all vying to look outside.

"Where? Oh, I see it."

"Oh, your friend is a little girl!"

"You look quite energetic. Which company do you work for?"

"You've come so early to wait, do you want to attend the lecture, or do you want to attend the lecture?"

"The little girl is very diligent, arriving so early, she's really eager to learn."

Chen Fan was so humiliated that he raised his hands and begged for mercy, "Please let me go, we're just ordinary friends, I really just wanted to come and listen to the lecture."

Hao Liyang laughed and said, "I understand, I understand. Listening to the lecture is what a good comrade who loves learning should do."

He then gestured to Yan Liyuan, "Section Chief Yan, go and say hello to the gatekeeper and let her in."

Yan Liyuan immediately chuckled and got out of the car.

Behind the van, Zhang Juemin and Zhang Wenliang sat on a motorcycle. Just as they were wondering what was going on when they saw Yan Liyuan get off the vehicle, greet the gatekeeper, and then wave in a certain direction.

Zhang Wenliang looked in that direction, and the next second he frowned and turned to Zhang Juemin and whispered, "Brother, look at that woman."

Zhang Juemin squinted and looked around. "I saw it. What's wrong?"

Zhang Wenliang: "Don't you think she looks a lot like someone?"

"Like someone? Who?"

Zhang Juemin was a little confused at first, but before Zhang Wenliang could speak, he suddenly realized, "She looks just like Jiang Lili!"

The two sisters look so alike that if it weren't for their different temperaments, people might mistake them for twins at first glance.

Zhang Wenliang squinted and said, "It seems that Xiao Chen's actions yesterday were not just about delivering a letter."

Zhang Juemin nodded in agreement, "I knew it would take an hour to deliver a message, there was definitely another reason!"

Zhang Wenliang: "Brother, what should we do?"

Zhang Juemin frowned slightly. "Let's wait and see. We'll remain unchanged in the face of any eventuality!"

The rider in front took off his hat, turned around and looked at them. "What are you talking about? Do you know this woman?"

They both shook their heads, "We don't know them."

……

Chen Fan opened the window, waved to Jiang Tiantian, and pointed into the school, saying, "You go in first, then follow the car later."

Jiang Tiantian was wearing a blue shirt, a canvas bag slung over her shoulder, and a liberation cap. She looked no different from any other ordinary passerby on the street.

But upon closer inspection, one can discern her graceful demeanor and her extraordinary face.

She followed Yan Liyuan over, and after Chen Fan finished speaking, she waved with a smile, "Okay, see you later."

He then politely nodded to the gatekeeper and walked into the school.

The driver then restarted the car and drove it inside. A short while later, the car stopped in front of a large auditorium. The group got out and shook hands and exchanged greetings with the school leaders who were already waiting there.

As for today's protagonist, Chen Fan, he was naturally placed at the very front.

After exchanging pleasantries, the principal smiled at Chen Fan and said, "I have long admired Teacher Chen. These past few days, your name has been known to everyone in our Yunhu health system. Today, we have finally been looking forward to welcoming you."

Chen Fan naturally responded modestly, "No, no, not at all. I'm just a primary school student and need to learn from all of you seniors."

Hao Liyang laughed from the side, "Don't be so polite, let's get down to business."

The principal chuckled and nodded in agreement, then turned and pointed to the auditorium at the back, "Please, Ms. Chen, the students and teachers are all ready."

Then, surrounded by the crowd, Chen Fan entered the auditorium.

This auditorium is similar to a lecture hall in a university, with long benches on the steps that can be squeezed together to seat many people.

It also resembles a theater, because there's a large stage in front that's over a meter high.

Perfect, it makes it easy to demonstrate and showcase.

Jiang Tiantian followed the crowd in and found a corner to stand in, but Yan Liyuan saw her and invited her to sit down on the side of the first row.

The first row of seats was all empty, naturally reserved for the staff of the health department and school leaders.

Once everyone was seated, Chen Fan was about to go on stage to give his speech when he noticed a large crowd of people outside the auditorium, completely blocking the doorway and windows. Despite the large number of people, they made very little noise.

Chen Fan thought for a moment, then leaned close to the principal and whispered a few words. The principal was overjoyed and stood up, saying loudly, "Students outside, don't crowd at the door. Go back to your classrooms first. Everyone, don't rush. Teacher Chen just said that he will talk to you several times today to make sure that every student can hear and see it."

Enthusiastic applause immediately erupted both inside and outside the auditorium.

Chen Fan glanced back and saw that despite the teachers' attempts to persuade them, the students were unwilling to leave and remained blocking the doors and windows.

If the school had notified everyone a few days in advance that a young person would be giving a lecture, even if they would have complied and come to listen, they wouldn't have been very enthusiastic.

However, in the past few days, they had heard many messages from alumni who had graduated and were working in several People's Hospitals, and they knew that although this Teacher Chen was young, he was truly skilled. In particular, his self-created method for clearing foreign objects from the airway had already saved several lives.

Moreover, he could work with many senior experts in the health department to innovate existing first aid methods. As a result, the students' enthusiasm was naturally at an all-time high, and even though the principal said he would give the talk several times, they were reluctant to leave.

Why listen to it only once when you can listen multiple times? Wouldn't you learn better if you listened more often?!
Of course, although he didn't leave, Chen Fan's statement still won him more favor, as evidenced by the enthusiastic applause just now.

Chen Fan was somewhat surprised to see the students' high level of enthusiasm for learning.

He had thought that these students who were recommended to go to school might not be very studious, but now it seems that their attitude towards learning is no worse than that of the students who later went to school through the college entrance examination.

Indeed, we cannot view problems with a rigid perspective.

Yes, people are the same.

Since everyone was unwilling to leave, Chen Fan didn't delay any longer. He found Zhang Juemin and Zhang Wenliang to cooperate and began on-site teaching.

At this point, his teaching style changed again, somewhere between that of a veterinarian and a hospital.

Hao Liyang and Yan Liyuan didn't know what he had told the veterinarians in Lujiawan before, but they had both seen Chen Fan's performance in the hospital and the health department, so they immediately noticed the difference.

Yan Liyuan leaned slightly closer to Hao Liyang and whispered, "Is he teaching according to the student's aptitude?"

Hao Liyang nodded slightly, his expression quite serious. "When he spoke at the hospital and the health department, he only talked about the key points of the operation, which part of the human body and which acupoints it was targeting. As for why these places were chosen, which of us doesn't understand? He didn't say a word about it."

However, the students in the school have different backgrounds; some haven't even grasped the most basic medical principles. That's when it's necessary to combine theory with explanation, and then he can explain it very clearly.

He looked at Chen Fan on the stage with a meaningful gaze and asked, "I don't remember who he learned medicine from?"

Yan Liyuan immediately said, "Before the public-private partnership, there was a clinic called Baohetang in Gufeng County, and the senior doctor there was named Lu Shouquan. Another doctor was Dong Qingzheng, a doctor specializing in traumatology in Nanhu Town. Now they have both been rehired by Nanhu Health Center. Xiao Chen learned from these two, but not for long, only a few months."

Hao Liyang thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "I know Master Lu Shouquan; he's very skilled at pulse diagnosis. I haven't heard of Dong Qingzheng, so his medical skills are probably just so-so. But the two of them have managed to teach such a student; they've really struck gold."

Chen Fan has now made a name for himself in the Yunhu health system. Although he is only in the field of emergency care, as long as he stays in Yunhu, he can get some favors from any hospital he goes to.

Once the "First Aid Manual" is published and distributed, and the method of clearing airway obstructions spreads throughout the country, this reputation will continue to grow. Those two old doctors, who became Chen Fan's mentors, will likely also spread their fame—they've struck gold!

Yan Liyuan nodded with a smile, a hint of regret in his eyes as he looked at Chen Fan. "It's a pity that Xiao Chen didn't want to come to the health department. Otherwise, if he had continued his studies and learned more advanced medical skills, with his ability to teach flexibly, he might have become a pillar of the health school in the future."

Hao Liyang smiled and said, "Everyone has their own ambitions, so let's not force them to do things against their will."

He paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "But if there's an opportunity in the future, we'll arrange some training for him to gradually improve his education and abilities. Even within the commune, he can still shine."

Staying in Lujiawan is entirely beneficial for Chen Fan.

If Chen Fan is the "inventor," then he is the "promoter" of the airway foreign body removal method. If the inventor steps into the limelight, then he, the promoter, becomes invisible.

He had originally planned to give Chen Fan a cadre position and assign him a sinecure so he could easily control him and share the spoils. Since Chen Fan refused, that was exactly what he wanted; he could compensate him in other ways later.

As for appropriating "academic achievements," it seems that in this day and age, no one dares to do that. ...Except for those who have agreed to it beforehand.

Unfortunately, this achievement was reported from the bottom up, so there was no opportunity to discuss it at all.

They chatted quietly offstage, while Chen Fan stood on the stage, mustered his strength, and lectured in the loudest voice. For each symptom he described, Zhang Wenliang and Zhang Juemin beside him cooperated tacitly, demonstrating the different symptoms. Chen Fan then used the simplest equipment, or even no equipment at all, to demonstrate how to treat the patient with his bare hands.

Even though I tried my best to compress and simplify the explanation, it still took almost two hours to finish explaining the thirty treatment methods.

Fortunately, the auditorium is not small and can accommodate more than 300 people at a time. The entire school of more than 1,000 teachers and students finished speaking in just three sessions.

I gave two lectures in the morning, had a quick lunch and a short rest, and then gave one more lecture in the afternoon. That concluded my lectures at the health school today.

When the event ended, almost the entire school's teachers and students gathered on the playground, applauding them. Amidst the enthusiastic applause, Chen Fan and the others boarded the van and slowly drove out of the school.

Jiang Tiantian stood outside the crowd, watching Chen Fan waving to his classmates through the car window, her face full of smiles.
