Chapter 344 - Caused a Sensation (1/2)
Two hundred thousand!
When the number of applicants was posted, anyone who saw it was startled.
The Weibo turned out to be in chaos.
“Damn! What does it mean by two hundred thousand people?”
“Really? There are two hundred thousand people who study Chinese medicine?”
“I’m so impressed. I never expected that Chinese medicine would have such a profound impact. Two hundred thousand people had signed up for the competition. There are maybe over a million people who practice Chinese medicine if we add those who didn’t sign up for it.”
“That’s a great number of people. The talent shows on TV only have ten thousand applicants at most. Central Television is really awesome. It just got two hundred thousand people in the competition.”
“Yes, if all two hundred thousand of the applicants are talented, there will be a real revival of traditional Chinese medicine.”
There was no doubt that the release of this data increased the popularity of the Young Physician of Huaxia Competition.
The heat of the whole event on Weibo had reached a record high again.
Under the circumstances, the official Weibo account of the competition seized this great opportunity to post another blog, which made it reach a climax.
It wrote, “The entry to the competition is closed. The initial selection will be held two weeks later. The top 10 competitors of every province can enter for the competition program in the capital.”
When this blog came out, it caused a sensation not only on Weibo but almost on every university of traditional Chinese medicine across the country.
There were 34 provinces in the country. On average, each province at least had 6,000 competitors, which meant only 10 competitors could win among them.
What the hell was this?
The first time they heard the news, the students of all the universities were dumbfounded.
Internet users were even more amazed.
“That was fr*aking cruel?” They were thinking.
It meant to eliminate 5,990 people among 6,000 people, which was an elimination rate of near 100%.
Fang Qiu did not pay much attention to the rules of the Young Physician of Huaxia Competition, nor did he take part in the discussion online. Instead, he diligently went to the hospital every day, constantly saw patients, and carried out acupuncture to them. Moreover, he had been collecting the data of various kinds of general acupuncture and Qigong acupuncture.
For the next few days, Fang Qiu had been busy day and night.
But even so, he didn’t forget to instruct the students to practice Qigong every morning at 5:00.
It kept going on until the seventh day.
On Saturday night, a message suddenly appeared on Weibo.
“Fang Qiu is teaching people Qigong. He actually believes and propagates superstition! Pictures don’t lie!”
These days, there was a heated discussion about the Young Physician of Huaxia Competition. And Fang Qiu was the only competitor who got invited to the competition. Therefore, as soon as the news came out, it got tremendous attention and caused a sensation.
There was an unprecedented outbreak of public opinion online.
“Isn’t Fang Qiu a traditional Chinese medicine doctor? Why does he learn Qigong?”
“Oh, come on. Hasn’t Qigong been proven to be a fake long ago?”
“Why did Fang Qiu do this? Feudal superstition will kill a person. I hope this is not true.”
“How could he propagate the feudal superstition publicly? Is Fang Qiu insane? He’s such an evil person.”
“Fang Qiu was not that kind of person. Is he under a spell?”
“Qigong is a kind of fake and superstitious dross. Fang Qiu is a college student. He couldn’t have been so stupid.”
People were not just discussing it.
There were a large number of people who even rushed to Fang Qiu’s Weibo and directly insulted him.
“You’re a son of a bit*h who even propagates superstition.”
“Qigong? Maybe you should just show us how to fly. Do you just get too much time to spare? So you’re bored and out of your fu*king mind?”
“The government has banned the so-called Qigong since the 1990s. You are openly propagating feudal superstition. Give it up before you make a big mistake. You have to return to the right path.”
“Ha-ha, I’ve told you, he’s a moron. You don’t believe me, do you?”
“The authority must look into it. How could a university of Chinese medicine let its students teach and propagate superstition in public? This is simply beyond the law.”
“Yeah! This school must be inspected.”
“Why didn’t the school stop him? Fang Qiu made a mistake, but didn’t the school leaders see it? Shouldn’t this kind of propaganda of feudal superstition be stopped in time when it is discovered? What are the school leaders of the University of Jiangjing Chinese Medicine doing?”
“Ha-ha, this is the Chinese medicine that you guys admire. Don’t you just say Chinese medicine is so awesome?”
“Humph, Chinese medicine and Qigong are fake, not scientific at all. A Chinese medicine doctor actually learns Qigong. What a joke!”
