Recently, looking at the news, Chinese-made electric tricycles are hot in the United States.
This thing seems very interesting, especially the excitement of foreigners driving, the kind of love for this simple and easy-to-use road car, I think people are connected.
In this way, the same is true for Chinese medicine. At home and abroad, pragmatism is fundamentalism.
Tricycles are too popular in China, and to be honest, this car is too practical. And the operation is simple, especially the elderly can make scooters. Farmers can be used as tool carts. It's also very comfortable to commute to work in the city. The postal courier guy needs it, the elderly need it to pick up their children, they need it to carry things, they need it to raise a family, they need it for street food, and they need it for street stalls. It saves electricity and fuel, and does not occupy an area. Look at the busy markets and streets in the country, this thing is very practical.
Practicality is the main feature of tricycles, and this thing is also practical in the eyes of foreigners. It's very simple, it's very convenient, and there's a much more comfortable thrill of taking the family for a ride than in a convertible. The point is, it is also a novelty, and it is cost-effective.
I understand that people have basic needs for life, food, clothing, housing and transportation, no one can live in a luxury environment every day, even urban white-collar workers, big bosses, it is impossible to get rid of food, clothing, housing and transportation.
Then, in terms of meeting basic needs, basic material security is required. Vehicles are simple, non-motorized. Housing has simple low-rent housing. Meals with simple street food. Medical treatment has a simple injection and medicine.
In fact, the same is true for health, and the vast majority of the medical needs of the people in this world are actually only basic guarantees. Just like getting COVID, it is a very common and common disease that requires simple and effective medicines, such as ibuprofen.
Therefore, as medicine, as traditional Chinese medicine, we should work hard to meet the basic needs of the people, and simplicity and efficiency should be the basic requirements. Observe the current situation, because of the marketization of its favor, accurate money, the formation of a variety of characteristic Chinese medicine projects, the price of drugs is inflated, Chinese medicine can not afford to eat, a variety of technical services continue to rise in price, these may meet the needs of some rich people, will meet the development of some institutions, but ordinary people do not need, or can not need.
There is a very clear idea, Chinese medicine does not rely on the rich, not the powerful, the survival of Chinese medicine lies in the common people, ordinary people. Therefore, from the United States, which is so keen on three jumps, I feel that Americans are also people, and they also need a cheap quality of life. They are not all rich and do not care about all the consumption of food, clothing, shelter and transportation.
I have read a material that the American people are sick, they can't afford to stay in the hospital, they don't dare to be hospitalized, and they really can't be hospitalized. This medical consortium is framed by high-cost commercial medical insurance, which people cannot afford, the rich can, but the poor cannot. And in China, I was hospitalized for a small cold.
Americans are also looking forward to cheap medical care, they know that Chinese medicine is effective, and they do not hesitate to choose treatment, what are they trying to save money for? This is the same as our people. But what is quite surprising is that when Chinese medicine has begun to integrate into the Western medical circle, there is a lot of noise in China, why? Because these noise advocates are not ordinary people, they will not think about the needs of the people in terms of basic needs or desire for basic needs. Spending money and not being able to afford it are definitely different attitudes towards Chinese medicine. Just like during the new crown pneumonia epidemic, some people clamored for Western 2300 drugs, why? Because they spend, such as Academician He, Fang Zhouzi, Sima Nan, etc., who oppose traditional Chinese medicine, they can choose high-end services. And ordinary people will not make this choice, they would rather endure it, or buy ordinary antipyretics, or go to take Chinese medicine.
In fact, this is a question of how much money there is, if you have money, he can do whatever he wants. Rich people can also only care about their own lives and enjoy the quality of life that they are satisfied with.
The daily and market-oriented medical care is definitely a different direction. However, medical care needs to be based on the needs of the people. Social drainage cannot follow the business, cannot follow the speculation, cannot follow the profit, and must follow the basic needs of the people. The harmony of the whole society should be positioned on the basic needs, and we must not follow the path of Xu Jiayin like speculating on a house. Therefore, the three jumpers are good, and ordinary people can use them. Traditional Chinese medicine is good, and ordinary people can't do without it.
