Chapter 530: Sense of Accomplishment or Sense of Powerlessness
In the first class, Professor Julie did not teach the content in the textbook. Instead, she talked about the background, origin, and role of this major. She also brought up several very special cases.
It was as exciting as a science fiction novel. The people listening were very engaged, with their faces startled.
Two hours later, everyone was still reluctant to leave, but Professor Julie had already screwed the lid on her teacup and was ready to leave.
Before she turned off the microphone, she left her last words:
“The value of life lies not in its length, but in its weight. When you save a life with your own hands, you will understand that feeling, which can offset all the hardships.”
They didn't learn anything in this class, but they felt that they had gained a lot. Sometimes, experience and teachings are more useful than cold words. Its influence is long-lasting and far-reaching.
"Weiwei, have you experienced what the instructor said?" Wang Jingyi asked in a low voice on the way back.
"No." Xu Weiwei thought about it seriously and said.
Wang Jingyi seemed very surprised by this answer, and her surprised expression could be seen even in the dark.
In her opinion, Xu Weiwei has been connected with medicine since she was a child. Her discoveries and research results have benefited countless people. How could she not appreciate it? She must be being modest.
Xu Weiwei sighed helplessly. She was not lying. Since she started studying medicine, she had been exposed to a sense of powerlessness more than a sense of accomplishment. And this feeling became more and more intense as time went by.
Due to its medication mechanism, Traditional Chinese Medicine has an inherent characteristic of long treatment time. It has advantages in the treatment of chronic diseases and focuses on prevention, that is, "treating illness before it occurs."
The feedback is delayed, unlike emergency treatment, where you can directly feel the loss and recovery of life. There is no such great emotional satisfaction.
Not only that, she is also often troubled by the feeling that "medicine is useless".
In her previous life, she followed her mentor to provide free medical services in remote villages, where almost all the villagers were left-behind children and the elderly. The village had poor infrastructure and even worse medical conditions.
No matter where you feel uncomfortable, you can only attribute it to "fatigue" and just take a rest for a while.
During the three days they were there, they saw patients and gave acupuncture day and night. Some people had chronic illnesses that were so serious that they could not be cured by a few injections or a few prescriptions. However, the cost of long-term treatment was beyond their ability to afford.
All they can do is to teach the villagers what they have learned, and which acupoints to press to relieve pain and which folk remedies to drink to suppress it.
When the youngest sister came, she complained about why the mountain road was so difficult to walk on, and why they had to carry so many medicines, just like the donkey in front. Later, she said nothing and ran around more actively than anyone else.
A group of old men and women in tattered clothes looked at them like saviors and gratefully accepted a few bottles of Chinese patent medicines that seemed precious but only treated the symptoms and not the root cause.
That was the first time Xu Weiwei began to doubt herself.
After returning, the instructor specially convened a group meeting and gave them some persuasion, which finally pulled them out of the depressed atmosphere.
Later, as she saw more and experienced more, she learned to adjust herself, break away from the limitations in front of her, and look at these things objectively.
Professor Julie's last words ignited her passion. Xu Weiwei was looking forward to the day when she could save someone from the hands of death.
That must be very interesting...
I was tired physically during the day and mentally at night. Listening attentively for two hours was also very tiring. After returning to the dormitory, Xu Weiwei took off her shoes and immediately lay down on the bed.
It looks like he is chatting and typing, but he is actually processing work information and replying to messages from team members. The body and the brain, one of them must rest, right?
Li Yan and Wang Jingyi also lay down and browsed the Star Network to absorb some "spiritual food".
Only Su Mang came up, changed her bag and prepared to go out again.
Wang Jingyi couldn't help but said distressedly: "Susu, it's already half past eight, you still have to go to tutor?"
Su Mang smiled and nodded: "Well, we can't give up halfway. People should have a sense of contract. It's good that the employer is willing to postpone it for two hours in accordance with my schedule."
After saying that, she walked out of the dormitory and closed the door.
Xu Weiwei couldn't help but wonder: Is Su Mang rich or poor?
Everything she eats, uses, and wears doesn't look cheap. One of her bags is a well-known brand. She looks like a daughter raised in luxury. She can hardly remember what Su Mang looked like when they first met.
But the comics describe her adoptive parents as being of average means, and she cares so much about this part-time job that she would do it regardless of weather conditions...
She can't possibly earn all this from a part-time job, right? Does tutoring really make that much money?
Xu Weiwei couldn't figure out what was going on, and a thought popped up in her mind: Should I ask someone to investigate...
There are always few people on the No. 38 bus at night, especially on the section behind the university town.
The driver yawned and was about to step on the brakes and speed up, but suddenly he saw a figure on the platform and stepped on the brakes in a hurry.
The driver saw from the rearview mirror that the person got on and sat down in the last row by the window. Then he realized that this was his old passenger.
She always took the bus at 6:40, carrying a black backpack. He had an impression of her over time.
After the New Year, he didn't see her again. He thought the other party had a job change and would not take this bus anymore. Unexpectedly, he met her again after changing shifts.
It was winter and the clothes were thick and wrapped tightly, so he didn't recognize her at first.
With the passenger, the driver drove more smoothly.
Su Mang leaned her head against the window, feeling very sleepy but not daring to fall asleep. If she missed her stop, she would be late for work.
Originally she was just resting her eyes, but Su Mang's expression became more and more irritable, as if something was bothering her. Finally, she stood up and turned on the light computer.
It's okay to have something to distract me during class, but once I calm down, three words will surround my mind like a magic spell.
Press the pinyin of "meilinu" and the input method will automatically synthesize the entry.
Su Mang looked at it and saw that it should be these three words, nothing else. So she selected it and searched.
After taking a quick look, Su Mang felt much better.
She thought it was so high-end and impressive, but it turns out the average price is only a few thousand yuan.
Like a fool, he was cheated but still showed off smugly.
Su Mang's face showed a sense of revenge. Then she browsed the store and spent 5,000 yuan to buy a dress similar to Xu Weiwei's.
She regarded Xu Weiwei as an imaginary enemy, so she had to compare everything with her. It seemed that if she didn't use the same things as her, she would be inferior to others. But wealth was something she couldn't imitate no matter how hard she tried. So she had to belittle her and regard spending more money as a "stupid" behavior. This was to get psychological comfort.
But she only saw the surface. She had no idea that Merino sheep are also divided into purebreds and subspecies, and wool is also divided into grades according to count.
Material desires are like human appetite; if they are always satisfied, they will become bigger and bigger.
