Capítulo 508: Controversy

Zhao Mingqing only wanted to change the Chinese Medical Academy's foundational teaching books. The current ones used across Chinese medical academies across the nation were written in 1974 by several Chinese medical masters. During that era, Chinese medicine was challenged and deemed as pseudoscience. People felt that it should be abolished and replaced entirely with Western medicine.

However, certain things happened later on that proved Chinese medicine to be legitimate. From that point, it recovered from being abolished halfway. Hence, Chinese started to be established across the nation. But the embarrassing thing was that there were no decent foundational Chinese medicine teaching books. For beginners, learning from those ancient books was simply too hard. It was almost impossible.

In the end, the Education Department had invited several Chinese medical masters to work together and write books to fill in the lack of teaching materials.
