"Cai Gen Tan" says, "Nourish the righteousness of the world and perfect the ancient and modern people." It means cultivating the perseverance and righteousness in heaven and earth, and imitating the sages with perfect morals in ancient and modern times.
At the beginning of the 20th century, Weng Quanhai, a descendant of the "Menghe Medical School", learned Chinese medicine from the best of many schools and went to Shanghai to practice medicine. With his noble medical ethics and superb medical skills, he became a famous doctor in Shanghai. This is the early plot of the recent CCTV drama "Old Traditional Chinese Medicine". With such a doctor that people look up to, this is a drama that makes people think deeply.
In the play, Weng Quanhai, played by Chen Baoguo, is an old Chinese doctor with superb medical skills. It is said that doctors are benevolent. He has a kind heart and treats every patient who comes to the clinic with care and responsibility. Even when faced with difficult and complicated diseases, he can objectively analyze and diagnose patiently, winning the recognition and trust of patients. If he were just a miracle doctor with superb medical skills, the meaning of his existence would be very limited.
In my eyes, he is a perfect being. After he accepted his disciples, he said these few words, which can be regarded as his life principles: "Good medicine and good doctors, good virtues and fine skills. The truth is simple, and enlightenment is achieved in heaven."
Do not seek medical treatment. The world is sick, but we should be worthy of the world's heart. "What kind of kindness and love is this? I am reminded of Mencius’ motto, “Look up to Heaven and do not bow down to others.” Selflessness, openness and aboveboard are admirable.
Indeed, Weng Quanhai in the play is almost perfect. When he first arrived, he was ostracized by his colleague Zhao Mintang and other doctors, and was involved in a lawsuit. In court, he was fearless and spoke out. In subsequent interactions, he repaid evil with kindness and lived in harmony with his peers.
We must not only cure the patient's disease, but also take into account the face of our colleagues. Never care about other people's calculations and scheming, be honest and aboveboard. When rescuing Yue Xiaowan, he showed no fear when facing evil people. When he was diagnosing a big warlord, he was neither humble nor arrogant in the face of power; he was unmoved in the face of temptations.
