Chapter 359 - Everyone Was Shocked by the Contents of this Paper! (1/2)
Chapter 359 Everyone Was Shocked by the Contents of this Paper!Three minutes later, a lecturer from the faculty of foreign languages rushed over.
The lecturer carefully looked through the contents of Fang Qiu’s latest Weibo post.
Soon, Li Xiucai asked urgently, “Are you done reading?”
He didn’t know what this Weibo post signified, so he didn’t dare to put his stamp on Fang Qiu’s notice of expulsion. He could only wait until the lecturer translated the post for him before he decided on the next steps that he should take.
“Yes, I’ve already got the gist of it,” the lecturer said with a nod.
“What is it about?” Li Xiucai and his secretary asked unanimously.
“It is a paper published overseas, and it is about the effectiveness of Qi when used with acupuncture, authored by Fang Qiu,” the lecturer said. He was surprised to find out that the author of the paper was Fang Qiu.
“Fang Qiu?” Li Xiucai exclaimed in surprise before he asked hastily, “What is the name of this periodical?”
“Medince and Humans,” the lecturer said.
“What?” Li Xiucai’s eyes widened in shock as he repeated in a daze, “Medicine and Humans?”
“Yes.” The lecturer nodded.
“How could it be? How could it be?” Li Xiucai repeated in a daze.
He didn’t understand English, but he knew a little about medicine.
‘Medicine and Humans’ was internationally recognized as the top ten periodicals in the field of medicine. This was the equivalent of Fang Qiu winning an Oscar!
Fang Qiu had published a paper on this periodical, and it was about Qi!
“How could it be? How could foreigners acknowledge the existence of Qi? How could ‘Medicine and Humans’ acknowledge the existence of Qi?” Li Xiucai muttered in shock. The more he thought about this, the more astonished he was.
How did Fang Qiu manage to pull this off?
Meanwhile, his post had caused an uproar online as well.
At first, a large majority of the comments continued to hurl abuse at Fang Qiu until someone posted a translation online.
“This is from a renowned periodical. I think it is named ‘Medicine and Humans’.”
“I looked it up online, and this medicine periodical is ranked among the top ten worldwide!”
“‘Medicine and Humans’ is incredibly well-known within the international medical community. The papers published in this periodical were usually impactful articles that would contribute to the development of medicine or humans. Hundreds of renowned specialists across the globe have collaborated with ‘Medicine and Humans’, and each specialist is known to have made a significant contribution to this field. ‘Medicine and Humans’ has an extremely strict selection process, and every paper that is going to be published will have to go through numerous rounds of verifications, and have to be validated by serval renowned medical specialists before it can be published!”
“Holy crap, is he that impressive?”
“It sounds incredibly impressive, but I can’t understand the article. The only thing I’m able to decipher is that they’ve used the romanized spelling of Fang Qiu to indicate that he is the author of the paper.”
“This periodical sounds amazing.”
“I took a look online and realized that no Chinese Medicine physician from China has ever published a paper on this periodical. Physicians who practiced Western Medicine have always been skeptical about Chinese Medicine, so it has always been incredibly hard for Chinese physicians to publish their papers. Even if their articles passed the initial screening, it would be eliminated later on, so their papers had never been published.”
“This isn’t just limited to Chinese Medicine. Once, a top professor, who specialized in Western Medicine in China, submitted his paper to ‘Medicine and Humans’ on numerous occasions, but he was turned down each time. His papers are well-known domestically, but they have never been published on ‘Medicine and Humans’.”
“No way, this makes him sound even more amazing.”
“Let me look this up online as well.”
Soon, after the translations and explanations of the significance of this paper were posted online, those people who hurled abuse at Fang Qiu online started to use the online translation tool to translate the words on the two images.
After the translations were posted, everyone was astonished.
“Oh my god, this is truly published by Fang Qiu. My classmate from English has also looked this up. This paper has indeed been published on the front page of ‘Medicine and Humans’, and it was even promoted online!”
“What the hell, Fang Qiu’s paper is about Qi?”
“Has the effectiveness of Qi and acupuncture been recognized overseas?”
“Does that mean that we truly have Qi within us?”
“My god, it has been acknowledged by such a renowned periodical together with six internationally renowned medical specialists. This is incredible!”
“Does this mean that Fang Qiu wasn’t superstitious but that he had truly made a significant discovery?”
The moment someone pointed this out, everyone on Weibo miraculously fell silent.
Most of his detractors were sincere about supporting Chinese Medicine, and they had only hurled abuse at him because they were worried he would tarnish the reputation of Chinese Medicine.
Many of them were influenced by public opinion, and they had assumed that he was superstitious, so they ignored the fact that he was only a first-year college student before condemning him.
There were also many others who supported Fang Qiu, but they did not continue supporting him because they thought he was heading down the wrong path, and thus, they went from supporting his actions to condemning him.
There were… far too many of them.
How long had it been since they started hurling abuse at him?
Was it a week?
They had been continuously hurling abuse at him for the past seven days.
They had used all sorts of horrible and disgusting vocabularies.
It was as though Fang Qiu had become the person who they could heap their frustrations upon after work.
If they were scolded by their boss, they would hurl abuse at Fang Qiu.
If they had a fight with their spouse, they would hurl abuse at Fang Qiu.
If they had been underestimated or bullied but did not dare to retaliate, they would hurl abuse at Fang Qiu.
If they were bullied by others and could not fend for themselves, they would hurl abuse at Fang Qiu.
