Chapter 117 What hobbies does Wang Mengying have?

During the days when he came back to live in Hangzhou from Wuzhou, Wang Mengying's life has never been rich. He didn't even buy a house of his own (it is estimated that the housing prices in Hangzhou would start to rise at that time), and he just lived in his father's house. In the house lent to him by his old friend, Mr. Jin Lusi, there is no record in the documents as to whether the rent was paid or not, but we know that he lived there for ten years, and ten years later he moved with his family to Chao'er Bridge in Qiantang. In the future, Wang Mengying has always been a "renter" throughout his life, and has never owned his own house, not until his final death.

When I read Wang Mengying's medical books, I couldn't help but imagine Wang Mengying's character. What is his driving force in life?A person, whose family is poor, only has some books, and goes to see a doctor every day with such vigor and vigor. It is not an ordinary disease, it is a serious disease that others cannot cure, or it is a serious disease that is cured. In the end, I am exhausted. He has peeled off a layer of skin, and he is suffering from exhaustion every day, but his emotions are always high. What is he planning?Didn't he plan for himself in the middle of the night, in the dead of night?Don't want to think about how to let your wife and children live a good life?Don't want to think about how to save money to buy a commercial house?

But from his book, no matter how I look, I can't seem to find any trace of his thinking about these contents. On the contrary, there are many things about ordinary people, such as opium. Wang Mengying used a lot of space to discuss the harm of opium in "Return to Yanlu" (because many people regarded opium as a wonderful medicine at that time), saying that opium "begins to be sucked by the rich and noble, but it will quickly perish, and then it will die." The poor and the poor also suck it, so many people lose their jobs and lose their homes, and thieves are everywhere. Therefore, it is a demon smoke for the rest of my eyes."In this book, Wang Mengying also recorded in great detail the amount of opium imported each year. For example, in the fifth year of Xianfeng, there were 65,354 boxes imported. The one who wept bitterly for it?"

It seems that he is not a fool, but a "careful person". However, his thoughts are not used on himself, but are all used to pay attention to the common people. Moreover, at night, besides annotating ancient medical books, he also had to think about the gains and losses of treatment during the day. For example, he had gone through a lot of hardships in the treatment of Kang Kanghou's disease, and there were doctors beside him constantly encouraging patients to use warming tonic. As a result, the patient took Wang Mengying's medicine for a while, and listened to other people's warming and tonic for a while. Finally, it was proved that Wang Mengying's effect was good. The edema could not go away, Wang Mengying returned home, "forgot to eat and sleep at night, spent all day and night trying to think about it", finally thought of adding onion silk to the prescription, and the edema disappeared.

Some netizens asked: Don't these famous doctors fail?Are there any cases where you failed?Isn't there a process of self-criticism? I think that if a person who has reached Wang Mengying's level of treatment still "thinks about it day and night" about the disease, the chance of missing it is basically very small, what do you think?
