Chinese medicine: from rural hospitals to top three hospitals in Kyoto

Chapter 1278 New Campus

"father!"

Hanhan's voice could be heard even before she entered the room.

As Chen Yang walked out of the study, Hanhan ran over shouting and hugged him tightly.

My little girl is now in her last year of kindergarten and has grown quite a bit taller. I haven't seen her for almost three months, and she has changed a lot.

Chen Yang picked up Hanhan and kissed her cheeks twice: "Did you miss Daddy?"

"I miss my dad," Hanhan said, hugging Chen Yang.

"How much do you miss it?" Chen Yang asked with a smile.

“I have five thoughts,” Hanhan said, tilting her head.

"Hahaha..." A single sentence made Chen Yang and Tao Yingwen laugh, and Wen Manlu's face was slightly flushed.

The little girl, at two years old she was "two thoughts", at three years old she was "three thoughts", at four years old she became "four thoughts", and now at five years old she is "five thoughts".

I reckon there won't be any more "six thoughts" or "seven thoughts" like that. When they're a little older, they'll know how to say "I really want to".

"dad."

Hanhan hugged Chen Yang's neck and asked, "Have you seen your little brother? He's so clumsy, he can't even call me 'sister'."

"My younger brother is still small."

Chen Yang laughed and said, "You didn't know how to greet people when you were that age either."

Just then, Xiao Jinghuai's crying came from the room. The little guy had woken up. Hanhan immediately struggled off Chen Yang and went to see her younger brother with her schoolbag on her back.

......

The next morning, Chen Yang got up very early.

Wen Manlu was still fast asleep, and the morning light shone through the gaps in the curtains, casting soft shadows on her face.

Hanhan fell asleep with Tao Ying last night; she has already been sent to kindergarten.

Chen Yang gently got up and walked to the crib—Jing Huai was sleeping soundly, his little fists clenched tightly, and a faint smile on his lips.

Chen Yang watched for a while before quietly leaving the bedroom.

Tao Ying was already preparing breakfast in the kitchen.

"Mom, why are you up so early?" Chen Yang walked into the kitchen.

"got used to."

Tao Ying turned around and smiled, "Your dad called yesterday and said he'll be coming to Kyoto next week. He'll definitely be there for Jinghuai's 100-day celebration."

"Yes." Chen Yang nodded. "My dad told me about it."

"Yangyang, are we going to the medical center today?" Tao Ying asked while frying an egg.

"I'm resting today, I'll watch it later," Chen Yang said, helping his mother set out the dishes.

A short while later, Wen Manlu also woke up. Xiao Jinghuai woke up almost at the same time as Wen Manlu. Chen Yang held his son while Wen Manlu went to wash up.

"Don't we need to go to the hospital today?" Wen Manlu asked Chen Yang.

"Take a day off today."

Chen Yang smiled and asked Wen Manlu, "I happen to have some free time. I'm planning to take a look around the new campus. Do you want to come?"

It's mid-September now, not too hot or too cold, the weather is great. Wen Manlu has already finished her postpartum confinement, so it's nice for her to go out for a walk.

“Sure, I’d like to go see it too,” Wen Manlu said with a smile.

After breakfast, Chen Yang set off with Wen Manlu and Xiao Jinghuai.

As the car entered the new campus of the medical center, Chen Yang was surprised to find that some people had already arrived.

Zhuang Qiwen and Yu Shiyun were standing in front of the new hospital campus planning map, discussing something in hushed tones. Xia Hongliang, Zeng Yunhui, and several other team members were also there.

"Teacher Chen!" Yu Shiyun's eyes lit up when she saw Chen Yang first.

"Chen Yang, Lulu is here too." The others also gathered around.

"Why are you here?"

Chen Yang asked with a smile, "Didn't you say today was a day off?"

Zhuang Qiwen pointed to the planning map: "I couldn't sit still at home. After visiting local hospitals for three months, I came back to look at our own plan and a lot of ideas came to mind."

Chen Yang looked at the huge planning map—the new hospital campus was twice the size of the current site and was divided into four main areas: outpatient building, inpatient department, research center, and rehabilitation park.

The design drawings perfectly blend traditional Chinese architectural elements with modern medical architecture, with upturned eaves and glass curtain walls complementing each other beautifully.

"What are your thoughts?" Chen Yang asked with great interest.

"I think the design of the rehabilitation park can be further optimized."

Xia Hongliang pointed to a corner of the blueprint: "The hospital we saw in Jiangnan this time combined a Chinese medicinal herb plantation with a rehabilitation trail. Patients can learn about medicinal herbs while walking, and the psychological treatment effect is particularly good. We can learn from that."

"And here."

Yu Shiyun pointed to the location of the research center: "Old He's heritage base gave me a lot of inspiration. Could we set up a 'Folk Experience Compilation Studio' to collect, verify, and optimize those unique therapies scattered among the people?"

Zhuang Qiwen added, "More importantly, we need a talent mobility mechanism. I suggest that after the new hospital is built, we should regularly select outstanding doctors from local hospitals for further training, and at the same time, our doctors should also rotate to work at the grassroots level. Only in this way can we truly break down barriers."

Chen Yang listened quietly. The experience of the past three months had not only improved everyone's medical skills, but also given them a global perspective and a sense of reform.

Wen Manlu listened with great interest, feeling that she had become somewhat out of touch with everyone lately.

"Let's go to the conference room to discuss this in detail."

Chen Yang waved his hand: "Write down all your ideas. You can offer some suggestions at the graduation ceremony the day after tomorrow."

Currently, the administration building has been built and decorated, and the inpatient department has also been completed.

As a group of people were about to walk into the building, they heard a car horn behind them.

A black sedan stopped, and Gao Anliang and Xiao Jingyun got out at the same time.

"Oh, everyone's here so early?" Gao Anliang laughed. "I thought I was the first one here."

Looking at the group of young people, Xiao Jingyun's eyes were full of admiration: "The younger generation is truly formidable. I couldn't stay in the hotel, so I thought I'd come and see the progress of the new hospital."

“Perfect, let’s discuss it together,” Chen Yang said with a smile.

As they talked, the group arrived at the newly renovated conference room. In addition to members of Chen Yang's team, Li Haofei, Wu Mengmeng, Xun Jiahong, Wen Haodong, and others also rushed over upon hearing the news.

Gao Anliang turned on the projector, displaying the latest photos of the construction progress of the new campus.

"Except for the administration building, the other main structures have been completed, and the interior decoration and equipment installation are now underway."

Gao Anliang switched between images: "According to the plan, the entire project can be completed by the end of March next year, and trial operation will begin in April."

Chen Yang noted that many design details adopted his suggestions before departure—such as the intelligent management system for the Chinese medicine pharmacy, the privacy protection design of the acupuncture treatment area, and the dedicated operation room for external Chinese medicine treatment techniques.

"How is the equipment procurement progressing?" Chen Yang asked.

"Most of the large equipment has already been ordered."

Gao Anliang pulled up a list: "Huazhong University of Science and Technology Pharmaceuticals and Aosen Group have provided us with great support, and Mayo Clinic and Cleveland Clinic have also given us a certain degree of support and advice."

Xiao Jingyun looked at the list carefully and said with emotion, "I have been practicing medicine for more than 50 years and I never thought that a medical institution with traditional Chinese medicine as its main body could cooperate with so many international medical institutions."

"Yes, and so is our surgical department, including hepatobiliary surgery, cardiothoracic surgery, and neurosurgery."

Gao Anliang smiled and said, "Our Kyoto International Medical Center will definitely become the top medical institution in China and align with the top medical institutions in the world."
