In ancient China, there were many famous doctors who were self-taught. For example, Huangfu Mi, who was paralyzed by a stroke in his old age, studied medicine, and founded the acupuncture science of traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture, and wrote "Acupuncture and Moxibustion A and B Classics", which is the first monograph on acupuncture and moxibustion in China. Of course, he also cured his own disease.
Zhu Danxi, due to his mother's illness, began to study medicine at the age of 40 and wrote "Danxi Heart Method".
Huang Yuanyu, who was blind in his thirties because he was treated by quacks, relied on a semi-transparent eye, studied medicine, and corrected many errors in medical books in addition to the four holy medical books, and wrote medical masterpieces such as "Typhoid Fever Suspense" and "Su Ling Weiyun".
In modern times, there is also an old man who began to study Chinese medicine at the age of 65, and through Chinese medicine, he not only cured his wife's eyes, but also cured his own advanced liver cancer. His name is Wang Binglin. His ancestral home was Taiyuan, Shanxi, and he later moved to Taiwan due to the war. In 2000, Wang Binglin and his wife Chen Qingzhu both retired, and Wang Binglin's wife was a very "domineering" person in life, and often would be angry with him, and sometimes Wang Binglin could only wait for her to finish before he could interject a sentence. But in Wang Binglin's heart, this is a manifestation of their deep affection, and after his wife is angry, he will coax her, so although there are often unilateral "quarrels" between them, they attach great importance to each other.
Wang Binglin watched his beloved wife's health deteriorate, his heart was very painful, he suddenly remembered that his ancestors were from a family of traditional Chinese medicine, and there were many traditional Chinese medicine classics in the family, and he came up with the idea of self-study Chinese medicine to alleviate his wife's pain.
In 2004, his wife's condition suddenly worsened, Wang Binglin sent her to the hospital, after examination, Chen Qingzhu's condition was very serious, the cardiovascular system had been blocked by nearly half, the doctor recommended cardiac interventional surgery (to install a stent on the heart), Wang Junneng, who is also a doctor, also felt that this was the best plan, but the risk of surgery was extremely high.
When he learned about the risks of surgery, Wang Binglin rejected this plan, and the doctor could only take conservative drug treatment to stabilize the condition.
Although the risk of drug treatment is much smaller, after all, the symptoms are not cured, and Chen Qingzhu has to suffer from side effects, and there are more and more minor physical problems. Wang Binglin saw these in his eyes and hurt in his heart, he kept reading Chinese medicine classics, trying to stabilize his wife's condition with traditional Chinese medicine instead of Western medicine.
Every morning, Wang Binglin got up early to make the most suitable Chinese medicine decoction for his wife, the Chinese medicine was very bitter, Chen Qingzhu didn't want to live up to his heart, and every time he endured it, he drank it hard, and then called Wang Binglin to "retaliate" against him. Unexpectedly, after taking the traditional Chinese medicine prepared by Wang Binglin for a long time, Chen Qingzhu's condition has improved greatly, and when he went to the hospital for reexamination, although he did not fully recover, he had improved significantly compared with before.
After that, Wang Binglin realized the importance of traditional Chinese medicine and put forward an idea that surprised Chen Qingzhu: to go to the mainland to study traditional Chinese medicine systematically, but this idea was immediately rejected by his wife and son.
First of all, Wang Binglin was nearly seventy years old at that time, and Chen Qingzhu's condition had just improved, and the two should stay together.
Secondly, the study of Chinese medicine is a long process, and it is not yet known whether Wang Binglin's body and learning ability can meet the requirements. Despite their best efforts, Wang Binglin's desire to study was not extinguished, and it was his persistence in traditional Chinese medicine that saved his wife and himself again.
In 2005, Wang Binglin took the entrance examination of Fuzhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine as promised, and at the age of 70, he still had a clear mind, and was successfully admitted to the part-time undergraduate class with the knowledge of Chinese medicine he mastered during the treatment of his wife.
At the end of the second semester of his junior year, Wang Binglin's body was abnormal, he often had a headache and chest tightness, he took some medicines according to his symptoms, thinking that it was the sequelae brought by age, so he didn't take it to heart.
It wasn't until he returned to Taiwan at the end of the semester that Wang Junneng, who was also a doctor, noticed the signs of his father's illness and asked him to go to the hospital for a check-up. But Wang Binglin didn't want to spoil the rare joy of the Spring Festival, and insisted on going after the Spring Festival.
After the Spring Festival, Wang Binglin's examination results made the whole family's mood sink to the bottom. Wang Binglin suffered from liver cancer, and the situation was not optimistic, the location of the cancer cells was inside the hepatic portal vein, and caused a blockage.
When the doctor talked about the treatment, Chen Qingzhu was even more difficult to accept: because the cancer cells are located in a special location, they cannot be removed by excision or injection of chemical agents. After consultation with many experts, no thorough treatment was reached, and it was even believed that Wang Binglin's life was only half a year left.
Thinking that Wang Binglin's father, uncle, and uncle all died of cancer, Chen Qingzhu hurriedly looked for a cure for Wang Binglin, and even bought a magnetic suit from Japan at any cost. Although it was all in vain, she couldn't watch her husband leave him!
In order to comfort his wife, Wang Binglin had to obediently echo everything she did. Secondly, Wang Binglin did not fully believe in the judgment of Western medicine, he did not choose to sit still, but began to treat himself. He borrowed from the "cocktail" therapy of Western medicine, and added some specific anti-cancer substances and other Chinese herbs to create an anti-cancer formula for himself, which he insisted on taking every day.
During this period, Wang Binglin did not miss his studies, and when he returned to Taiwan for a check-up, the cancer cells showed signs of decay, and he had already broken through the six-month death ultimatum.
After graduating with a bachelor's degree in 2009, Wang Binglin decided to study Chinese medicine more deeply, and after graduating from his bachelor's degree in 2009, he chose to continue his master's degree at Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine.
His wife made fun of him: He is seventy years old, why do he have to toss.
Wang Binglin said: This is not only my learning path, but also our survival road. At this point, he didn't think that their ordeal was far from over.
In 2012, 77-year-old Wang Binglin came to the hospital again for an examination and found that all the cancer cells had disappeared.
Chen Qingzhu was so happy when she heard the news that she couldn't close her mouth, now she could not only see Wang Binglin, but also a healthy Wang Binglin.
In 2015, he published his doctoral dissertation "Observation on the Clinical Efficacy of HeNe Laser Combined with Nasal Three Injections in the Treatment of Allergic Rhinitis", and successfully obtained a doctorate degree from Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine.
On the day of the graduation ceremony, Wang Binglin and Chen Qingzhu flew to Guangzhou together. Wang Binglin looked at the camera with blazing eyes in a doctor's uniform, while Chen Qingzhu looked at him affectionately and gently sorted out his clothes for him, this scene can be described as envious of others.
