Chapter 512 (2/2)

”The fate of the Roman Empire was also changed by the great plague. The plague of smallpox and measles in ancient Rome killed one third of the total population. Roman soldiers who fought everywhere brought smallpox and measles to Rome. Infectious diseases took the lives of two Roman emperors. According to dioca, a Roman historian, 2000 people died of diseases in Rome a day. The total death toll was estimated to be as high as 5 million, which greatly weakened the strength of the Roman Empire. ”

”The black death occurred in Europe in the 14th century, killing about 25 million people and becoming a turning point in European history. It is said that after the plague, Europe was depressed for hundreds of years. ”

”The black death is one of the deadliest plagues in human history. In 1348, hundreds of people died in Europe every day. Europeans lamented that the end of the world had really come. The black death has not spared any corner of Europe, and even extended its claws to Europe's close neighbors - the Middle East and North Africa. By 1348, it had divided its troops into three routes, sweeping out areas such as Spain, Greece, Italy, France, Syria, Egypt and Palestine. ”

”After the Black Death entered England, all the tenants in some estates died. The situation in cities is even worse because of the dense population. By may, only 30000 of London's original 50000 residents were left, and the original number was not restored until the 16th century; Two thirds of the students in the famous Oxford University died! When the epidemic was brought under control in 1351, the British Isles and Ireland had lost about 40% of their total population, which was much higher than their total loss in the hundred year war between Britain and France. ”

…

”Then why did the plague break out in ancient China, but the plague mortality rate in Europe was not so high?”

”What I want to say here is that the plague is not terrible. The terrible thing is that it has not been treated in time. In the case of traditional Chinese medicine, from ancient times to the present, and even in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the rise of the school of febrile diseases has also saved many domestic plague patients. ”

”Therefore, I always think that traditional Chinese medicine has declined. This is a fact that people in the traditional Chinese medicine community should admit. However, it does not mean that it is worse than western medicine. It has always existed to protect the life, health and safety of our Chinese people. Therefore, I believe that as long as people in the field of traditional Chinese medicine unite and work together to strive for the rise of traditional Chinese medicine, traditional Chinese medicine will rise again sooner or later. ”

”Thank you, thank you, I'm finished!”

Xiao Chen came down from the rostrum.

This is really not the speech prepared by the host for Xiao Chen in advance, but Xiao Chen's own abdominal draft, which he said while thinking.

What he wants to say is that since ancient times, the existence of traditional Chinese medicine has been more powerful than western medicine, especially in terms of plague.

In the final analysis, there are many reasons for the decline of traditional Chinese medicine and the rise of Western medicine. However, Xiao Chen has always believed that as long as all people in the field of traditional Chinese medicine work together, traditional Chinese medicine will rise sooner or later and become the most important national medicine in China.

This is what Xiao Chen wants to publish.

The beauty host was a little confused. When she reacted, she hurriedly said, ”thank you for Dr. Xiao's wonderful speech. Let's applaud.”

The applause below rang out quickly and didn't stop until a few minutes later.

I have to say that the leaders on the podium now feel that Xiao Chen is really not simple. He doesn't have a speech. He speaks it so well. If it were them, they certainly can't.

Moreover, in the case of the outbreak of the plague in the southwest, there is no doubt that this time it is necessary to prove that traditional Chinese medicine is no worse than western medicine.

Moreover, in this case, whether western medicine or traditional Chinese medicine, we must do our part to prevent the spread of the plague again, and save those patients who have been infected by the plague as soon as possible.
