I have wanted to write this topic for a long time, but by chance, I feel that recently the press has repeatedly reported the emergence of a certain “master” in the Chinese medical field, and after learning more about this figure, I can only use two words to describe it: “bullshit”. As we all know, an oncologist is a person who has expertise in the diagnosis and treatment of a certain tumor, please read it clearly, it is something learned from others, not innovation. Just like Chinese education, as long as you can inherit knowledge and take exams, you are a good student, so are Chinese oncologists. If this is the definition, then there are oncologists everywhere in China. Look at what the “oncologists” are doing now: “flying on air”, “walking around”, “using various media to fool around”, “fighting for the top”. “As individuals, they are undoubtedly successful in terms of fame and fortune, but the nation as a whole has “failed”. There are also some experts, using their positions of power, have more opportunities to let people know, and become so-called “famous experts”. How many of them are doing their studies in a practical way, and how many of them have time to serve their patients? And those who are working in a down-to-earth manner, probably currently in the unit that is “unappealing”, in the community is also “non-famous”. Liu Baodong, thoracic surgery department, Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University A master is a great talent who is beyond the average expert, innovative, influencing generations or even a nation or other nations, or even raising science to the philosophical level of thinking, like our ancient Chinese Confucius, Mozi, Laozi, Zhuangzi, Bianchi, Hua Tuo, etc. are undoubtedly masters. In China, the Spring and Autumn Period, the Warring States Period, the Song Dynasty, and the Republic of China were periods of great masters, all of which had a common characteristic of being more open and free in their thinking. Some people attribute China’s failure to produce masters to the backwardness of traditional Chinese culture, but this is actually a way of shirking responsibility. It is true that Confucianism defended authority and opposed innovation. But its emergence did not affect the production of masters in the Song and Republican Dynasties, and history has produced many masters who have stood morally unbroken. On the contrary, nowadays, it is difficult to see masters not only in Chinese medicine but also in other professions, probably because the value orientation of Chinese people has changed after the “opening up”, and in this country where “materialism” is widespread, there are still people who can quietly work for In a country where “materialism” is prevalent, who else can quietly fight for “clarity” and “truth”? If you lose your tradition, you lose yourself. It is time for China to change its current “value orientation”! China needs to find its “roots”. The traditional Chinese culture (whether Confucianism or Taoism) emphasizes “virtue, merit, and speech”, and Mao Zedong also proposed the all-round development of “virtue, intellect, and body”. They all put “virtue” first. Therefore, we say that a master is first of all a person of high moral character. According to this criterion, masters have become an endangered species in China nowadays. General Secretary Xi Jinping has proposed the idea of the “Chinese Dream”. Without the emergence of masters, how can the “Chinese Dream” be realized? In the social environment of quick success, where are you, master?
