During the Republic of China, it was a change of era. Western medicine has also entered China.
The four famous doctors in Beijing (Shi Jinmo, Xiao Longyou, Kong Bohua, Wang Fengchun) have a family in the city, and they have to queue up every day, and they easily do not go to the doctor. The cost of consultation is very expensive, and from the early 1920s to the early 1930s, the cost of a medical consultation was generally a silver dollar. What is the concept of a silver dollar? A silver dollar at the end of the twenties was almost enough to buy a tricycle for the New Year. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, a piece of silver dollar from a poor family may take ten days and a half months, which is quite expensive. However, the cost of lesser-known Chinese medicine in the hutong is far from so high. In addition, when it comes to medicinal materials, the medicinal materials at that time were not expensive, and the pills were not expensive, and the general drinking tablets (which are part of the soup medicine) were cheaper. In addition to the use of precious medicinal materials, they are relatively cheap. Children with high fever do not use a kind of medicine——— Purple snow, which must use antelope horn inside, which is more expensive. Usually indigestion eats the most precious ingots, as long as a few cents, the children of the poor people in the hutong are sick, and they do not go to see any doctors, and they can buy some medicine to eat. Now everyone wants to take the most resources.
There are many stories of these masters, Gao Xiaosong is related to shi Jinmo's family, Gao Xiaosong is the day he arranged to be born (the Battle of Songhu), told some stories, Shi Jinmo in the Four Nine Cities, No. 194 East Velvet Line Hutong, there is a large courtyard covering an area of about one acre, three before and after. You calculate the current price, how much is this house worth?
In the Republic of China, Western medicine was more expensive, and it cost five yuan to go out of the horse at a time, what is the concept of five yuan in the fifties? At that time, the doctor's visit was called "out of the horse", and there was a horse out of the horse, which was much more expensive than the hospital fee. Many famous Western doctors had private cars, and few people at Peking University had cars at that time, one was Jiang Menglin with a car, one was Hu Shi, and the other was Zheng Hexian (also a famous doctor in the Republic of China).
Now there is no such a big gap, the poor can also find a doctor to see, the times are progressing ~ doctors are actually not demanding, enough food and clothing, can be single-mindedly for patients to see a doctor, (not for money, houses, cars, children's cram school costs and other issues are best distracted).
