Chapter 32 Heartache

After four years of hard study, Zhu Zhenheng was ready to take the imperial examination. There are two theories about the process. One is that Zhu Zhenheng took a divination at a fortune-telling place before going to the exam, and it was unlucky, so he did not participate. The sentence "I am lucky to have a life to test what I have done"; another more reliable statement is that Zhu Zhenheng took part in the provincial examination but failed.In fact, no matter what the specific situation is, it will not affect the development of the matter. In short, Zhu Zhenheng's imperial examination path is not good.

At this juncture, another incident happened in Zhu Zhenheng's family that gave him a huge blow. His wife, Qi Shi, suffered from "phlegm accumulation" disease. After asking a doctor for treatment, she died due to a wrong treatment. The Qi family and Zhu Zhenheng's mother had the same surname, so they probably belonged to the same family. They raised two sons and four daughters for Zhu Zhenheng. She accompanied Zhu Zhenheng through the lowest moment of life, accompanied Zhu Zhenheng through the confused youth, and left Zhu Zhenheng when Zhu Zhenheng had not embarked on the medical path and before the honor came.

The most embarrassing thing is that she didn't see how her husband became a great doctor. What kind of feeling did Zhu Zhenheng feel in his heart at this moment? He wrote this feeling into the preface on the first page of his most important medical book "Ge Zhi Yu Lun", and he recorded: "Because of recalling the internal injuries of his first son, Bo Kao felt depressed, and Shu Kao's nose Epistaxis, my younger brother’s leg pain, and my roommate’s phlegm, all of them are due to the wrong medicine. The heart and gallbladder are broken, and the pain is unstoppable!” The heart is broken, the pain cannot be pursued, what kind of grief and indignation is this!

It must be admitted that God's blow to Zhu Zhenheng was cruel. Almost all the closest people in a family left him under the treatment of quack doctors. His father, his uncle, his uncle, his younger brother, and finally his wife. Zhu Zhenheng, can you survive such a blow? At this time, his teacher Xu Wenyi spoke. It is estimated that he has observed Zhu Zhenheng's talents for a long time and thinks that he should be of greater use. You know, this teacher Xu himself is not in good health, and he has been teaching despite his illness. At the beginning, he was "sick and heartbroken". Later, due to the wrong medication, he started to "foot cramp" after decades of treatment. It hurts so much”, and after several years of chaotic treatment, not only did it not get better, but it became very serious, and I already felt that I was a “disabled person”.

It can be seen that Mr. Xu was seriously ill at the time.But even though his body was sick, his vision was still sharp. He had been observing Zhu Zhenheng and felt that he was a talent that could be created. He pulled Zhu Zhenheng to the bed, and said to him: "I have been ill for so many years, and I am in great pain. It is estimated that no ordinary doctor can save me. You are a gifted and intelligent person, so you can learn from it. If you study medicine, You will definitely be a good doctor!" Then, he looked at Zhu Zhenheng with expectant eyes. Zhu Zhenheng, are you willing to give up the imperial examination and study medicine from now on?

Are you willing to give up fame and embark on the thorny road of saving lives? Do you know how hard it is to study medicine? You know how little your income will be in the face of the sick and poor? You know, it's a job where you face pain every day because of illness? Zhu Zhenheng's gaze became firm. He held the teacher's hand tightly: "Teacher, I have decided to study medicine with all my heart, help the world and live people, and never give up!" Then he left, "burning away all the karma he had learned", and began his career as a medical student. Mr. Xu looked at Zhenheng's back, full of expectation, because at this moment he began to believe that the only person in front of him who could save him was Zhu Danxi.

Indeed, when this person came back here again, he was no longer the Zhu Zhenheng of the past, he had become the famous Zhu Danxi in the history of Chinese medicine.
