It is said that China has a proprietary Chinese medicine that is world-famous, with the name of "Chinese treasure, wound medicine", do you know what it is? It is Yunnan Baiyao, but this Chinese medicine brand has had many twists and turns at the beginning of its founding, and the person who invented it, Qu Huanzhang, has been even more miserable in his life, what has he experienced? Let's take a look at it, he invented Yunnan Baiyao, and because he refused to hand over the formula, he was tortured to death at the age of 58.
Qu Huanzhang's parents both died when they were young, in order to survive, Qu Huanzhang could only enter the society early to work, at the beginning he did not have any business skills, he knew that selling some native cloth to make money, on the way around, Qu Huanzhang saw a lot of sick people, many of them are rich, but in the face of disease, everyone is powerless, it is from this time that he germinated the idea of practicing medicine, and opened a "Qu's big pharmacy".
At that time, the country was in a turbulent period, the Japanese invading army was even more fierce, all said that the rise and fall of the country was responsible, Qu Huanzhang hoped to contribute a little strength to China, so he invented the Yunnan Baiyao, the drug called Baibaodan in the past, and took out more than 30,000 bottles to those soldiers in one go, and the efficacy of Yunnan Baiyao must be known to everyone, with the miracle effect of stopping bleeding and relieving pain, because of this drug, many soldiers' wounds no longer festered.
The whole world began to know Qu Huanzhang's name and knew that he had such a magic medicine, and the National Government also came to the door and forced Qu Huanzhang to hand over a batch of Yunnan Baiyao. Qu Huanzhang felt that since he had unified the anti-Japanese resistance, the soldiers who helped the Kuomintang were also helping China, so he did not resist too much, and in order to further squeeze him, the Kuomintang also said that he did not donate 30,000 Dian coins (yunnan local currency), but the national currency issued by the state. Probably knowing that he could not fight them, Qu Huanzhang did not make any arguments, and in order to make up for this vacancy, he had to take out a loan.
But the Kuomintang's "blood sucking" against him did not end, what they really wanted was the formula of Yunnan Baiyao. They wanted to monopolize Yunnan Baiyao, and even wanted to use this drug to make a fortune, Qu Huanzhang saw through their hypocrisy, naturally he did not want them to succeed, and his reluctance to disclose the formula annoyed the National Government.
Later, Qu Huanzhang was forcibly arrested and imprisoned, and the people used the criminal law against traitors and death row prisoners to deal with him, even so, Qu Huanzhang still refused to confide in a word, protecting Yunnan Baiyao from becoming a tool for them to accumulate wealth, but this great healer, the national hero who saved countless lives, died in prison, only 58 years old.
His wife later quietly handed over the secret recipe to the government, and Bai Baodan changed its name to Yunnan Baiyao.
