C264 The Official Disciple Exam
C264 The Official Disciple Exam
At about nine o'clock in the morning, all the apprentices were in the clinic. Cang Xuande gathered them together and said, "Listen up, I have something to announce."
"Okay, tell me, Master." The five of them looked at him and listened attentively.
Cang Xuande's eyes swept across them and cleared his throat. "How long has the longest time you have stayed here?"
"Five years!" Bao Zhiming immediately replied. He was the first among the five to arrive.
"Five years? Quite a long time." Cang Xuande sounded a little disappointed. "Five years can change a lot of things, such as a person's will. However, for a medical student, five years is just a normal daily training. "
The few of them were a little at a loss. They did not understand what he wanted to say. They felt that time passed really quickly.
It can't be, right?
They knew that Cang Xuande was not the kind of person who would lament about time and hurt the spring and autumn.
Cang Xuande took a deep breath and his expression suddenly changed. "Over the years, you are not the only apprentices who have come to my place to be apprentices. But most of them do not have that mentality and have left long ago. As for you, I don't know how long you can last. Tell me, what is the most important thing in learning medicine?"
The five of them looked at each other in confusion.
Cang Xuande raised his hand and pointed at Bao Zhiming. "You have stayed the longest. You first."
Bao Zhiming scratched the back of his head and forced himself to say, "I think perseverance is the most important!"
"What about you?" Cang Xuande looked at the other person.
Mao Hai thought for a moment and said, "I think it is interesting. Interest is the most important. You have to be interested in anything. If you are not interested, you will not be able to focus on one thing."
"Master, I also think it's interesting. As the saying goes, interest is the most important. You must be interested in everything you learn, plus a little sweat and hard work. We'll succeed!" Yan Zhou said what he thought. In fact, this was what most people approved of.
"Yes." Cang Xuande nodded and looked at Kuang Ziming. "What do you think?"
Bao Zhiming looked calm and replied, "I have a different opinion. I think the most important thing is to learn medicine. Some people studied medicine to save lives and heal injuries, and some to their ideals. The world is a public place. Some people feel that learning medicine can make money, while others want to work hard to change their lives. What kind of goal determines what direction they should go in. "
" Yes. " Cang Xuande nodded again and looked at Lee Yifann, who was at the end of the line.
Lee Yifann smiled and waved his hands. "Master, I think the most important thing is principles."
"Oh? Principles?" Cang Xuande was surprised. "Why do you think so?"
"For a person, to do anything. First of all, one has to have talent, even though there is a saying that one with one percent talent and ninety-nine percent sweat can succeed. However, without 1% talent, one might not even be able to enter the beginner level. It was even more so when it came to learning medicine. Learning medicine was very boring, just perseverance alone was not enough. Interests could not be eaten as food. No matter how great an interest was, it would be worn down by day after day of medical research and saving lives and injuries. Everyone's goal in learning medicine is different. I study medicine because I want to inherit grandfather's clinic. I don't have any lofty ideals and goals to promote my ancestral TCM. But these truths are all external factors that will change with time. Some people who studied medicine for the first time were envious of doctors who could save lives and heal injuries. They also wanted to become angels. But later on, after entering society, they realized that dreams could not withstand a single blow in front of reality. They would gradually lose themselves. They would forget their original intentions and follow the flow. They would even chase after fame and fortune. They stink of copper all over their bodies."
"In my opinion, the most important thing to learn medicine is principles... which is also the bottom line of one's heart. If a person can stick to the bottom line of his heart, he will be able to maintain his clarity and motivation to fight. People would grow old, their dreams would change, and their interests would dry up. But the principle would not change. If a person's principles change or even disappear, then this person will only become a scum among doctors when he learns medicine. "
A unique view made Bao Zhiming and the others completely speechless. They did not say anything.
It was true that everyone had all kinds of dreams in the beginning, but as they grew older, their social experience would increase, and they would become closer to reality.
Dreams were full, and reality was bone-deep. This wasn't something that could be casually said.
Anyone would think about it, but to turn imagination into reality, not everyone had the ability to do so.
As for interest, dreams and interests are sometimes mutual, and it is very easy to have dreams if one is interested. However, many people's interests only lasted for three minutes and could be worn down at any time.
Most people had a goal when they did something. Most people would try to do something that they could. However, if it was something like studying medicine that required them to persist for a long period of time and endure loneliness, many people would shrink back.
When they realized that they could not do it, most people would give up and no longer persist.
After all, in the end, there was only the word 'principle' that did not change. Of course, this was for a person with principles. If it was a person who did not have principles and casually changed his bottom line, it would also be useless.
Cang Xuande looked at Lee Yifann with praise. This was the answer he wanted to hear the most. He clapped his hands. "The answer is very good. The reason why I asked you this question is... I just wanted to understand your thoughts. You've been in this clinic for five years at most. Although the shortest is only two months, that's not important. What's important is that I saw some people's efforts, and I know what your goals are. I don't want to waste your future in studying medicine, so I decided to hold the official disciple test this weekend. The winner will be the official disciple."
Hua!
As soon as these words came out, the five of them burst into an uproar at the same time. They opened their mouths wide, not daring to believe what they had just heard.
Lee Yifann cried out in disbelief, "Master, are you really going to hold the official disciple examination?"
"Yes!" Cang Xuande nodded and smiled calmly. "Isn't this the result you want to see the most? I think you have been thinking about that seat for a long time."
Bao Zhiming and the others looked embarrassed. In fact, they had been thinking about it every day and night. After all, whoever became Cang Xuande's official disciple would be able to obtain Cang Xuande's medical skills. It would be a beautiful thing to tell others about it.
Who wouldn't want to? Who would have a mental illness?
Mao Hai hesitated for a moment and asked haltingly, "Master, what is the content of the test? It can't be a direct competition, right?"
Cang Xuande looked at him and explained with a smile, "I know what you are worried about. Since it is an official disciple test, there will naturally be a corresponding set of rules, in case you complain that it is unfair and say that I am favoring the other."
