Before I left for France, there was always some unexplained anxiety in my heart. After all, it was the first time I left my home country to live in a foreign country for a long time, and I could not even speak the language, and I was very unfamiliar with the local people and the world, so this unpredictability made me, a doctor who had experienced life and death, and who was indifferent to sorrow and happiness, feel a dark current of anxiety. French grammar is far more complicated than English, and because of the complexity of preparation and the short time available to learn it, I really did not learn much. The negative events related to France over a period of time added a faint cloud to the mind. But like an arrow on the string, it cannot be left untouched, it is already a set schedule and it is impossible to change it. Huang Yan, Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, Fu Wai Hospital, Beijing On Sunday, November 2, 2008, my friends and relatives in Beijing came to bid me farewell, but my luggage was not quite ready yet. After a busy day, I had very little time to sleep. Finally, in the early morning of November 4, my family and friends took me to the airport, and I finally stepped on the elevator to leave, and waved goodbye to my friends and family. For many years I have never only paid attention to other people’s heart rate of cardiovascular doctors I really feel my heartbeat is significantly faster than usual at this moment. Because the other side did not come to meet me, only the landlord, a Chinese man, who promised to pick me up at the tram stop, but the section from the airport had to be figured out by myself. The Lufthansa flight to Frankfurt was a transfer, and it was a different world when I got off the plane. The weather was obviously hotter than Beijing, and I was already sweating in my cotton clothes and heavy luggage. I finally found my way to the gate of the connecting flight after walking a long way through customs and many intersections and elevators according to the letters on my ticket. By the time I arrived at the airport in Lyon, France, it was already dark and many passengers were arriving at the airport, making the baggage claim hall quite noisy. I couldn’t see too many staff here, and it took a long time for the large luggage to be transferred from the conveyor belt, which was worrying, so I looked around for signs as I walked out with the crowd, because I had to find the bus to Lyon. Finally I saw a counter at the door, went over and asked in English, got a positive answer, bought my ticket and headed out to look for the vehicle. It was night outside and I didn’t know which bus I should get on. I was about to ask when a middle-aged Asian-looking man came running over and offered to ask me in English if I was going to Lyon, I said yes, he told me to follow him and walk to the bus, he took me to put my luggage and helped me talk to the landlord on the phone. I asked him about the GRANGE BLANCHE station I was going to, and he answered and indicated to call me when I arrived. All the things that I was worried about when I left home were now resolved. I thanked the man, who was about 50 years old and had gray hair, and talked to him. He said he had come to France from Vietnam when he was very young, and that many people had helped him when he first arrived. He saw me on the plane and guessed I was not familiar with it so he volunteered to help. The bus was about to leave, and the driver started to check the tickets. Because of the accidental encounter with such kind people to help, plus chatting, I couldn’t help but be excited and panic, how could I not find the small ticket, really anxious out of a sweat, because I know most French people’s English is very poor, it is difficult to explain, this man knew my situation even explained to the driver, asked the driver to let me get on the bus first, and then they patiently helped me to organize my things and help Then he patiently helped me organize my things and helped me find my ticket. So a carload of French people saw a Chinese man rummaging around in the car looking for something, and two girls couldn’t help but laugh. Thank God, I found the damn ticket in some pocket in the middle of the day when I was almost desperate. When I arrived at the station, he told me and asked me to take my luggage and checked it for me, and I waved goodbye to him, thanking him very much indeed. This Frenchman from Vietnam gave me an impression I cannot forget for the rest of my life. In my first step on French soil, I met a kind man I did not know who helped me, and his reason was simple: many people also helped me when I arrived here. He told me not to worry, that I could ask for help from people around you if I was in trouble, and that most people would help you. He was confident of his survival. The air in Lyon is obviously better than Beijing, but the water quality is not good. The weather here is warmer and wetter than in Beijing, the population is smaller than in China, and although it is sometimes crowded like a big city, it is obviously more relaxed than in China. The difference between urban and rural areas is not very big, the greenery is very good, there is vegetation everywhere, and the greenery in France is not too concerned about the form, sometimes there are all kinds of plants, sometimes some broken wood laid on the green belt, both to protect the soil, but also to increase the fertilizer, and I did not see people to clean up the fallen leaves. I don’t understand the useless work done by many gardeners, such as cleaning up leaves and dead branches, pulling weeds or cutting trees that are not lush in the first place. Most of the buildings in France are not very high, from one to four or five stories, which are more suitable for living. Coming out of the concrete jungle, congested traffic and dry air of Beijing, being in a European idyll relaxed my senses. I basically never saw any cleaners here, but the city is still slightly tidier than Beijing. I think the countless workers in Beijing clean the city to keep it looking nice, which I think is probably related to the small population load here and the fact that most people are more conscious. There are also many bicycle stations in the city (bicycles were originally only a sport in Europe, but for the sake of environmental protection, many European countries are now encouraging bicycle riding, 15 yuan for one year, and free for half an hour to change cars, but Beijing also imposed a tax on bicycles a few years ago, and now fewer and fewer people are riding bicycles in Beijing. (Although the roads are getting wider and wider, the traffic congestion is getting heavier and heavier), there are many private cars, and the roads are not wide, but there are no serious traffic jams. Most people drive in a civilized manner and slow down or stop when they see pedestrians. All traffic is a pass, with hourly, daily and monthly passes, as one needs. The cars are all on their own, no one checks the tickets, but there will be some staff walking around randomly checking the tickets, once the evasion of the ticket is checked, the consequences are very serious, is a big fine. The monthly ticket here is 47 RMB, and at this point the current benefits in Beijing are much more favorable. Many supermarkets in France also weigh their own goods, no one supervises them, and no one cares if you label a 2 pound apple as 1 pound. I met more than one kind person here. Once I walked to the subway and looked down at the map, an old gentleman came forward to show me the way, in fact, I basically did not understand his French at that time and I could see how to go myself, but I could only express my gratitude in French for his enthusiasm. Twice I went to the supermarket to buy something, the French people in front of me bought a cart full of goods, and when they saw that I only took one or two things, they took the initiative to let me check out first. The people here are not in the same kind of hurry and scramble situation as in China, and they are in a peaceful state of mind, and sometimes when they come together, they give way to each other. There was another time when I was running to catch a tram, and an old lady who was passing by stopped and pressed the door button to let the car wait for me, and that day I was a little upset because the procedures in France did not go well, but at that moment I felt my heart was as clear as the blue sky. In such a good atmosphere, I helped people wherever I went. The French rarely give up their seats, but it is not that crowded here, and I brought this good Beijing tradition to Lyon. I remember once I gave up my seat to a woman holding a child, she thanked me and then gave me her ticket. I remember that the Vietnamese Frenchman helped me organize my things and money on the airport bus, and I didn’t feel uneasy at all. Good interpersonal relationship and trust are the most rare and valuable things on earth. As they say in the past, helping people is a good thing. That’s right! People who help others and people who are helped are happy. I have been a person who is willing to help others all my life, but I really can’t do what that Frenchman from Vietnam did in my domestic environment. I said to him that you were the first person I met when I set foot on French soil, and even though I did not even know your name, I did have immense trust in you, and I was a person who was willing to help people, but you were a person who loved to help people, and from that point of view, you were a great person. Our country had the highest philosophy, medicine, culture and ritual system 3,000 years ago, and after nearly 300 years of corruption, backwardness, beatings, poverty, wars and turmoil we have lost the traditional heritage of excellent Chinese civilization, and really lost our civilization. The Chinese have lost confidence in their own civilization and wrongly put the blame on the culture of their predecessors, but in fact the children of China do not understand the history and achievements of their predecessors. The culture and technology of the middle and late Qing dynasty were in retreat. Some studies have concluded that the level of our firearms in the Qing dynasty was even more backward than that of the Ming dynasty, and some of the invented artillery was dusty and unknown, a situation that led to the backwardness of the country’s strength and the destruction of the country in the late Qing dynasty. Ignorance led to the ultimate turmoil, and the turmoil aggravated the ignorance and the decline of civilization. As the old saying goes, “When the granary is solid, one knows the honor and disgrace, and when the food and clothing are sufficient, the manners will flourish. This is the truth. There has been a widespread decline in our moral standards, corruption, selfishness, and evil views abound. Now, although the country has easily settled down and material conditions have improved, true cultural propriety is still almost non-existent. On the one hand, we throw away our own culture, on the other hand, we blindly admire foreigners and identify foreign junk culture as civilization, while the truly fine things abroad are not seen. The stability of a society, the harmony of human relations is never a one-time thing, and is never an accidental event, the European civilization in the modern era is never strong without reason, the advanced cultural and moral management is the basis and precursor of all advanced. And like some modern European and American countries, the culture of luxury, indulgence, pleasure and debauchery actually foreshadows their future decline, but unfortunately we have taken these bad customs as an example to learn from in the last thirty years. As the ancients say: “The country and the family of the sages before us were made by diligence and frugality. Some of the modern political economists’ views are really unreliable, too much consumption of resources brings only temporary false prosperity, but will lead to long-term deprivation and decay. Second, three thousand years ago, the Chinese sage Mencius admonished King Hui of Liang that (if people of all classes only know how to compete for their own interests) “the country is in danger if the upper and lower classes compete for profits”, and now the Chinese society is not like that? Almost all interest groups, departments, classes and professions are busy competing for profits, earning money is now the top priority, there is almost no one in the country who is not busy, everyone is busy for their own food, clothing, fame and fortune, and the busy moment is not quiet self-reflection and adjustment, but the demand for vicious stimulation as a pastime, this short-sightedness, anxiety, vicious habits form a vicious circle. As the country emerges from the turmoil of war and politics, it enters another kind of cultural ritual chaos. As a result, we have less and less peace and quiet, and we don’t even have enough time to sleep; our natural environment is getting more and more damaged, and we even have only flies and cockroaches with us; our family friendship is getting weaker and we don’t even have real friends; our interpersonal relationship is getting more and more tense, and we can’t even tolerate the slightest conflict; our trust between people is getting less and less, and even the authority of the state institutions Our compassion and sense of justice are getting less and less, and we even see death without help; our quarrels are getting more and more, and even for some trivial interests can be fought to the end, to the court, and even the husband and wife turn against each other, and the father and son mutilate each other; our living environment is deteriorating, and pollution is getting more and more serious, even when Beijing held the Olympic Games, environmental pollution became an important issue, and even some places have become uninhabitable areas and There are uninhabitable areas and multiple serious natural disasters, ……….. The environment is getting more and more serious, and even when Beijing held the Olympic Games, environmental pollution became an important issue, and even some places had uninhabitable areas and multiple serious natural disasters. Every day I am in the crowd of patients in the hospital, in the highly polluted air filled with the stench of disease, in the countless requests and requests for help, in an atmosphere filled with anxiety, agitation, pain and dissatisfaction, I often suffer and wonder why our country is so sick. The ancients say: Education is the first priority in building a country and a people. This is the most sensible saying. What our country has lacked most in the past few decades is cultural education. Although knowledge education is also lacking, it has actually gotten much better over the years, but the education of being human and culture is still almost blank. The elementary education of our ancients is not found in our university students and doctoral students. This kind of human education and training is very much needed for the leaders of the country to demonstrate by example, but our officials are quite problematic. The University says: “From the Son of Heaven to the common people, all of them should cultivate themselves. I would like to ask our officials, scholars, and teachers, where is our foundation? Many people in positions of authority, the educational system of society, and the cultural media do not know what to do about how to behave, and many misleading suggestions are made to young people. I remember that Qu Limin from the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine once mentioned in a lecture the issue of adolescent sex education for young people, to the effect that the current school society has failed to deal with this issue, giving children a lot of knowledge about physiology and reproduction (but without guidance on how to deal with the problem, which has caused the opposite effect), and that it would be better to guide young people to read the classical works of ancient sages and learn some spirit and attitude of being human. It is better to guide young people to read the classical works of the ancient sages, to learn about the spirit and attitude of being a human being, and to prevent children from focusing too much on sexual reproductive activities that should not be too much. In his lecture, Venerable Jingkong of Taiwan’s Buddhist community also repeatedly mentioned that in order to save the bad social atmosphere, he should urge the world to read more scriptures of the ancient Chinese sages, and to revive the traditional culture of excellence. He also mentioned the story of a Buddhist venerable who visited the United States, when an American scholar and the venerable discussed culture and other issues, during which the venerable was asked about his opinion on the longevity of the United States. The American asked why. The Venerable said, “Look at the culture of violence, murder, pornography, disorder and corruption that your media (TV, etc.) spreads 24 hours a day. But what about our domestic media now? Qu Limin Jun’s lecture on the philosophy of Chinese medicine and health culture was quite authentic, and Venerable Jingkong’s explanation of some ancient texts was very opportune for the times, and they, as one of the few who know, both raised the importance of reading good books and classics. How we can build a harmonious society is something we should all pay attention to and work on. How can a person, or a group of people, without a good mind and morality not get sick? How can they not do things that are not reasonable? We have experienced one or two hundred years of suffering, and now we have just settled down, we should reflect on the fact that if we do not want to go back to the national disaster, efforts to revive Chinese cultural etiquette is the most important basic project. When the Chinese people have recovered their cultural lifeblood and established their confidence in their own culture, that will be the time for the Chinese nation to truly revive.
