Five minutes later, there was a sound of the email notification.

Fang Qiu logged into his email with his cell phone and tapped on the new email to have a look.

It was the data sent by Chen Yinsheng. He immediately tapped on it and read.

After he read it, Fang Qiu’s brows furrowed even more deeply.

“According to the investigation report, various medical colleges in our country recruit about 600,000 medical students every year, but only 100,000 people can eventually become doctors. The number of talent loss has reached 500,000, which accounts for 84%. And among them, the admission ratio of Chinese Medicine students is very small. The ratio of becoming doctors is even smaller, only one-tenth.”

As he saw this, Fang Qiu’s heart skipped a beat.

500,000 people were lost among 600,000. Among the remaining 100,000 people, the students who chose western medicine needed to be deducted. The rest of them also needed to be selected through exams. In the end, only one-tenth of them were left.

These people were not one-tenth of the 100,000 people. Instead, it was one-tenth of the remaining people after he deducted those who chose Western Medicine, the people who weren’t admitted to colleges, and people who failed to finish college among the 100,000 people.

Fang Qiu didn’t even dare to calculate carefully because he knew that if he were to calculate it according to this figure, the final result would certainly shock him!

He took a deep breath and continued to read.

“According to the report, there is a shortage of rural doctors all over the country now. Even though there are more people studying medicine, it’s still hard to retain talents in grass-roots health institutions. Nowadays, undergraduate colleges basically don’t cultivate rural doctors for the countryside. In addition, people nowadays are used to city life and are reluctant to go to the countryside. There are also problems such as salary, treatment and so on. As a result, there are fewer and fewer rural doctors, but there are more and more urban doctors.

“The School of Health Humanity of Bekin University conducted a survey on the employment preference of the 380 medical undergraduate students. The final result showed that 80% of the medical students hoped to stay in the big city, and less than 20% of them were willing to go to the grassroots.

“Before this, there are still college students in some county or town clinics when the government guaranteed the job assignment of graduates in the past. Now most of them had left or were about to retire, but the follow-up medical practitioners couldn’t keep up.

“There are very few top talents among the medical students, and a large number of them go abroad in recent years. There are even fewer people who are willing to go to the west regions or the grassroots. In the future, how can people living in the countryside see a doctor?”

This data was a dialogue in a reporter’s interview with a higher-up of the Ministry of Education.

After reading it, Fang Qiu was completely silent.

On the one hand, remote villages were in urgent need of doctors.

On the other hand, there were very few doctors due to the talent loss.

Moreover, doctors nowadays were unwilling to go to the countryside and hoped to stay in the city.

Under such circumstances, it formed an unhealthy ecological environment.

Because of the loss of talents, there were more and more places that lacked doctors. And it was rather difficult to develop such places without doctors. Besides, doctors were reluctant to work in these places.

These three problems opposed each other, making the whole thing come to a dead end.

Of course, the best solution was to develop the remote mountainous areas.

However, it was not easy to do so. It would take at least a decade or two to build a city, and it would take several years to draw people to the city after construction. Besides, this was a remote mountain area. Even the roads here were loess mountain roads, not to mention building a city. It would take so much time to make other constructions.

The government was also vigorously supervising and urging people to help and develop the remote mountainous area, but it would take too long. What Fang Qiu saw now was a big problem that needed to be solved immediately.

Fang Qiu wanted to solve this problem.

But how should he solve it?

There was a knock at the door.

Just as Fang Qiu was thinking with a frown, Director Lin knocked on the door and came in.

“Director Lin.” Fang Qiu stood up to greet him.

Director Lin asked, “Doctor Fang, did I disturb your rest?”

“No,” Fang Qiu answered with a smile.

“Okay.” Director Lin smiled, then rubbed his hands and said, “Well, in order to thank you for your help to our hospital and the patients in the past few days, I want to treat you to a good meal to express my gratitude.”

“No need,” Fang Qiu immediately shook his head and said, “I still have something urgent to deal with, and I’ve already booked the flight ticket. There are less than 30 minutes left before I board the plane. I was about to say goodbye to you. Then you came.”

“So soon?” Director Lin was stunned and said, “Anyway, you need to have a meal before you leave. You have helped us so much when you’re in Lin Zhai these days. I’ll feel bad if I can’t treat you well.”

“Director Lin, we are all Chinese Medicine practitioners,” Fang Qiu said with a smile, “This is what we should do. There’s no need to thank me.”

Seeing that Fang Qiu was determined not to eat this meal, Director Lin held Fang Qiu and wanted to send him some local specialties, but Fang Qiu declined.

Helplessly, Director Lin could only drive Fang Qiu to the airport in person. He didn’t turn around and leave until Fang Qiu’s plane took off.

On the plane, Fang Qiu had been worrying and thinking about how to solve the problem that there was a lack of doctors in rural areas.

But after thinking about it during the whole trip, he couldn’t come up with any good ideas.

He then came back to the office of the cultivation base in Beijiang.

“You’re here?” When he saw He Xue in the office, Fang Qiu’s eyes immediately lit up and he said, “I have a question. Could you help me think if there is any solution to it?”

“What is it?” He Xue asked curiously.

Fang Qiu said, “I went to Lin Zhai in Guizhou province this time. That’s a remote mountain area. The city is not big, and all kinds of conditions there are miserable. It’s very troublesome for the people in the countryside to even go to the city to see a doctor. Because there is a lack of doctors in the village, many minor diseases have turned into serious diseases because patients don’t get treatment in time. The problem now is that the loss of medical talents is huge. There are very few doctors willing to go to the countryside. Without doctors there, the rural areas can’t develop, which causes people’s minor diseases to turn into serious diseases in the remote mountain area. From your point of view, is there any way to solve this problem?”

After saying that, Fang Qiu looked at He Xue expectantly.

However, after thinking for a while, He Xue shook her head decisively and said, “This is related to people’s livelihood in the whole country. With the development of the country, this kind of thing will gradually become less and eventually disappear. But if you want to solve it now, there’s indeed nothing you can do. Even the government can’t do anything about it. What solution can I think of?”

Fang Qiu gave a wry smile after hearing that.

Then, he finally made up his mind, gritted his teeth, and said, “I want to give it a try!”

“What do you want to do?” He Xue was stunned, thinking she had misheard him.

“I want to give it a try,” said Fang Qiu again with a determined look.

“Damn!” He Xue curled her lips, looked at Fang Qiu as if she were looking at an idiot, and said, “Hey, you really have a hero complex. Does this matter have anything to do with you? Why do you care so much about it?”

“It’s related to me.” Fang Qiu immediately shook his head and said, “I’m a Chinese Medicine doctor. All the things related to patients in the world have something to do with me!”

Hearing that, He Xue was helpless.

She forgot that this guy was truly a doctor.

Soon, the preliminary of the second season of the Young Chinese Medicine Doctor officially began.

It was still the same as the first season.

Every provincial city had a site of registration.

All registration sites accepted everyone to sign up for the competition.

The University of Jiangjing Chinese Medicine was once again selected as one of the registration sites.

The registration this time would last for three days, but within merely one day, the number of people signing up for the competition on the UJCM registration site was equal to that of the first season.

Of course, all this was due to the success of the first season of the Young Chinese Medicine Doctor.

Though Fang Qiu was in Beijiang, he also cared about the school.

Fang Qiu immediately bought a flight ticket to Jiangjing after seeing so many people signing up for the competition on the forum of the University of Jiangjing Chinese Medicine.

When he went back to school, Fang Qiu ran straight to the Vice President’s office without even going to his dormitory.

“Knock, knock, knock…” Fang Qiu knocked on the door and walked into the office.

“Fang Qiu?” At his desk, Chen Yinsheng looked up at Fang Qiu and asked with a smile, “Didn’t you see patients in Guizhou two days ago? Why did you come back so soon?”

“I come back as soon as the free clinical treatment is over,” Fang Qiu answered with a smile, then walked to the desk and sat down. He said to Chen Yinsheng seriously, “President Chen, I want to give a lecture at school to all the graduates of the fifth year in college and graduates of the third year of postgraduate. Is that okay?”

“A lecture?” Chen Yinsheng glanced at Fang Qiu in surprise and said, “That’s a good thing. Your seniors are waiting.”

“So, you agreed?” Asked Fang Qiu.

“Yes, I agree.” Chen Yinsheng nodded with a smile.

“Thank you, President Chen.” Fang Qiu thanked him hurriedly.

Chen Yinsheng then made a call in front of Fang Qiu and asked the staff of the publicity department to inform the whole school that Fang Qiu would give a lecture at nine o’clock tomorrow morning in the conference hall!

Soon, various notices were posted on big bulletin boards of the school, and such notices were also written on the blackboards everywhere.

It only took one afternoon before the news that Fang Qiu was going to give a lecture spread throughout the campus.

“Fang Qiu is going to give a lecture?”

“I also want to listen to it, but this lecture seems to aim at graduates.”

“This lecture is held just in time. It’s going to be the graduation season in more than a month. Now those seniors who are about to graduate are so adrift. If Fang Qiu holds this lecture, maybe he can help them guide the way.”

“The school has given a strict order. We must go!”

“I’ll be upset if they won’t let me go. I really want to hear what Fang Qiu is going to talk about in this lecture.”

The whole school was talking about it.

In Dormitory 501, Fang Qiu didn’t sleep all night or even stay in the bed. Instead, he had been sitting at the desk under the bed and prepared his speech with his laptop.

This time, the reason why he rushed back from Beijiang was that he attached great importance to this matter. He hoped that through his lecture, everyone could have one more choice when they graduated!

The next day, it was at eight o’clock in the morning.

Fang Qiu was having breakfast in the school canteen.

However, as soon as he appeared, he attracted many students to stop and watch. They all stared at him as if he were a national treasure and said hello to him.

Fang Qiu also greeted them.

After breakfast, Fang Qiu went straight to the lounge of the conference hall to have a rest.

At this time, Chen Yinsheng was already sitting inside.
