Chinese medicine: from rural hospitals to top three hospitals in Kyoto

The next day was Sunday.

Chen Yang arrived at Kyoto University of Chinese Medicine very early in the morning.

"Senior Chen Yang!"

"Senior Chen Yang is here."

As soon as Chen Yang entered the campus, many students recognized him, and cheers and exclamations erupted. Chen Yang's arrival was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake.

"it is good!"

"Hello everyone."

Chen Yang smiled and nodded to the classmate who greeted him.

Chen Yang came to school today to attend class.

Chen Yang missed a lot of classes during his more than 50-day trip to R country.

Fortunately, Chen Yang's class was an elective, not a required one, and some elective classes are scheduled for weekends anyway.

When Chen Yang returned this time, he naturally had to make up for some missed classes. Therefore, in addition to the classes he needed to attend during the week, Chen Yang also added two classes on weekends over the past two months, which were scheduled for mornings when there were no classes.

Chen Yang greeted his classmates along the way as he arrived at the administration building.

"Chen Yang."

As soon as Chen Yang entered the administration building, he ran into Yuan Zhengmin, the director of the Academic Affairs Office.

"Director Yuan," Chen Yang greeted Yuan Zhengmin with a smile.

"Xiao Chen, you really did a great job in R country this time. The news has spread like wildfire throughout the school, and all your classmates are so proud of you," Yuan Zhengmin said with a smile.

"Thank you, Director Yuan." Chen Yang said with a smile, "It's not all thanks to me alone."

"Haha, without you, no one else would have the ability."

Yuan Zhengmin smiled and asked, "Are you here to see Principal Kang?"

"I came to class and stopped by Principal Kang's place while I was here," Chen Yang said.

“Okay, you go first, we’ll talk again when you have time.” Yuan Zhengmin nodded.

The day before yesterday, Chen Yang returned, and the school held a special meeting, which was also attended by Yuan Zhengmin, the director of the Academic Affairs Office.

The meeting was mainly focused on Chen Yang and his future arrangements.

Originally, the school planned to grant Chen Yang the title of associate professor after he finished teaching this year.

Given Chen Yang's age and qualifications, granting him the title of associate professor is truly an exceptional honor.

Who could have imagined that plans would change? Before the school could even confer the title of associate professor on Chen Yang, he had already completed several highly complex surgeries in R country, breaking records in liver surgery, neurosurgery, and cardiothoracic surgery.

At this point, Kang Xingchao felt that it was somewhat inappropriate to grant Chen Yang the title of deputy director.

The meeting held the day before yesterday was mainly to discuss and award Professor Chen Yang the professional title.

Chen Yang arrived at Kang Xingchao's office, knocked on the door, and Kang Xingchao's voice came from inside.

"Enter!"

Chen Yang pushed open the door and entered.

Upon entering the office, Chen Yang discovered that Kang Xingchao was not the only person present; there was also a middle-aged man around fifty years old, and the two were drinking tea.

"Principal Kang," Chen Yang greeted Kang Xingchao.

"Xiao Chen."

Kang Xingchao stood up with a smile and introduced Chen Yang: "Come, let me introduce you. This is Director Hong Jianliang of the elite special talent pool."

"Director Hong," Chen Yang greeted him.

"Director Chen."

Hong Jianliang had already stood up. When Kang Xingchao introduced him, Hong Jianliang smiled and extended his hand: "I've heard of Director Chen's name for a long time. Today I'm finally meeting him in person."

"Director Hong, you're too kind," Chen Yang said with a smile.

"This is not just polite talk."

Hong Jianliang smiled and said, "Director Chen, we greatly admire what you have done over the past year."

"Due to some factors, our country has lagged behind in many aspects over the past century."

Hong Jianliang said, "Whether it is the military, scientific research or medical fields, we dare not slack off. After so many years, we have caught up in some areas, but there is still a gap between us and developed countries in some aspects."

"The path to the great rejuvenation of our Chinese nation requires the concerted efforts of all of us."

Hong Jianliang said, "Director Chen, your contributions to the medical field are evident to all."

"Thank you, Director Hong," Chen Yang said. "I only did what I could."

"Director Chen is not only young, but also very humble."

Hong Jianliang smiled and said to Kang Xingchao, "This is a good thing. I'm relieved that Director Chen has this mindset."

As he spoke, Hong Jianliang took a folder out of his bag next to his seat: "Director Chen, fill this out."

"Chen Yang, the elite special talent pool includes top talents who have made outstanding contributions in various fields across the country."

Kang Xingchao smiled and said to Chen Yang, "Being included in the elite talent pool is a great honor."

Chen Yang took the folder from Hong Jianliang, opened it, and found a table inside.

"Director Chen, just fill in your personal information. It will be recorded in the archives and computer database later."

Hong Jianliang said with a smile, "After you fill it out, Director Chen, you will be a member of the National Top Talent Pool, enjoying national subsidies, as well as many other subsidies and privileges."

As he spoke, Hong Jianliang took out another car key: "This car is also part of the subsidy and allowance; you can get reimbursed for gas."

"Thank you, Director Hong," Chen Yang said again.

This not only includes a salary, but also a free car!

"Fill it out here."

Kang Xingchao gave up his seat for Chen Yang to sit down. Chen Yang filled out the form and handed it to Hong Jianliang.

"Principal Kang, I'll be going now."

After finishing his business, Hong Jianliang didn't linger. He exchanged contact information with Chen Yang and then took his leave.

After seeing Hong Jianliang off, Kang Xingchao smiled and said to Chen Yang, "Little Chen, even I envy you."

"Principal Kang, please stop teasing me," Chen Yang said with a smile.

"I'm not joking, I'm genuinely envious."

Kang Xingchao smiled and said, "Do you know who's in this talent pool?"

Kang Xingchao simply mentioned a few names, and Chen Yang was stunned.

These are all well-known figures, experts in their respective fields. Chen Yang had heard a lot about their achievements when he was in school.

"And this car of yours, although it's not registered in your name, you still have the right to use it. Driving it will make you look very prestigious; you can't buy that even if you have money." Kang Xingchao looked at the car keys Chen Yang had placed on the table.

Chen Yang recognized the car key; it was a domestically produced car. This car wasn't sold a few years ago, but in recent years, ordinary people have been able to buy it.

Kang Xingchao probably saw through Chen Yang's thoughts and said with a smile, "The same car, but not all cars are the same. Your car can go to many places; it is a pass in itself."

"For example, going to a ministry..."

Chen Yang:"......."

Chen Yang hadn't really thought much about it before, but after hearing Kang Xingchao say that, Chen Yang truly realized something was different.

It seems that Kang Xingchao was not just joking, but genuinely envious.

"Xiao Chen, this shows how much the higher-ups value you. You must do a good job," Kang Xingchao said with a smile.

"Principal Kang, rest assured, I will never forget my original aspiration." Chen Yang nodded.
