Vice President Huang held a complicated view regarding Traditional Chinese Medicine. He recognized it as a precious treasure of his people, yet he found it lacked a convincing theoretical framework in many fields. Although Gu Yuan had successfully treated a case of recurring rabies previously, the mainstream media still refused to accept it, continuing to verify the authenticity of the surgery.
Vice President Huang was very interested in this current operation, as he believed that the treatment of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases was a weak point for Traditional Chinese Medicine. However, in the circles of underground practitioners, it was understood that regardless of one’s background, academic credentials, or status, one had no right to speak on a subject until they truly understood it.
In reality, the study of surgery within Traditional Chinese Medicine dates back thousands of years. But like martial arts, this knowledge had always been passed down through the traditional master-apprentice method. Furthermore, the most advanced secret techniques required a high level of aptitude from the practitioner, which inadvertently stifled the development of a systematic and theoretical framework for Traditional Chinese Medicine.
