Under the influence of his parents, Huang Qiming has developed a strong interest in poetry and poetry since he was a child, and his father often takes him to read ancient poems in the study to explain the mystery and beauty of poetry, and Huang Qiming has laid a deep literary foundation.
Huang Qiming not only excelled in literature, but was also a diligent and studious student, whether it was a cold winter or a hot summer, he always insisted on getting up early every day to read and studying hard under the oil lamp at night.
In that era of material scarcity, Huang Qiming did not have any extravagant toys, and books and poetry became his best companions.
He often recited Tang and Song poems by the small river at the head of the village, imitating the ancients to compose poems and lyrics, and those beautiful sentences flowed out of his mouth, as if giving this ordinary small village a trace of poetry.
In the 50s of the last century, Huang Qiming was admitted to the famous Xiamen University, majoring in Chinese, and his talent was soon revealed on campus, becoming a talent in the eyes of many students and teachers.
During his university years, Huang Qiming not only achieved excellent academic results, but also actively participated in various literary club activities, and published a number of high-quality academic papers and poetry works.
At Xiamen University, Huang Qiming met his old wife, Professor Li, who also loves literature, and Professor Li specializes in lexicology.
After graduating from college, the two naturally entered the palace of marriage and opened a new chapter in their lives together.
After graduating from university, both Professor Wong and Professor Li stayed on to teach, continuing their passion for literary research and teaching.
Huang Qiming has made remarkable achievements in the field of poetry research, published a number of influential academic papers, and published several important works on poetry research.
He is not only an academic, but also a teacher who is loved by his students, both in and out of class, and he always attracts groups of students with his profound knowledge and humorous teaching style.

Under his influence, many students developed a keen interest in literature and achieved excellent academic results, and as a teacher, Wong not only imparted knowledge, but also led by example, inspiring students to constantly strive for progress.
The happiness and ups and downs of the family
While achieving success in his career, Huang Qiming's family life is also very happy, and he and Professor Li have a son named Huang Biao.
Huang Biao has been smart and clever since he was a child, inheriting the excellent genes of his parents, and is full of enthusiasm for learning and exploration.
However, life was not all smooth sailing, in an accident, Huang Biao accidentally fell and injured himself, but fortunately, after timely treatment, there were no sequelae left.
The accident made Professor Wong and Professor Li aware of the importance of family health, and they paid more attention to the health and quality of life of their family members.
Under the influence of his parents, Huang Biao chose art as his major, and was admitted to a well-known art academy.
Although Huang Biao is far away, he has always cared for his parents at home, often keeping in touch with them by phone and video.
In 2013, Huang Qiming suddenly felt severe pain in his abdomen and was rushed to the hospital by his family, and after a detailed examination, the doctor diagnosed him with rectal cancer, which was serious and required immediate surgery.
Huang Qiming's surgery went smoothly, and the doctor told his family that the tumor had been removed, however, shortly after the operation, Huang Qiming's digestive tract began to bleed continuously, and his condition was very critical.
The doctors used various methods to stop the bleeding, Huang Qiming's body became weaker and weaker, and after the city's experts consulted, they said that this is a worldwide problem, which cannot be treated, and Huang Qiming's life is in danger.
The determination and action of the son
One day, Huang Biao suddenly brought a bottle with a yellow liquid and some sediment at the bottom, the bottle looked ordinary, but the contents caused everyone's doubts.
Huang Biao told the doctor and his family that it was something he had researched on his own and could stop his father's bleeding.
The doctors expressed strong suspicion and rejection of this, believing that Mr. Huang's condition was already critical, and the rash use of unknown drugs could aggravate his condition and even lead to unpredictable consequences.
However, Huang Biao insisted that his research results were valid and asked the doctor to give him a chance, and in the face of the doctor's refusal, Huang Biao had a thoughtful discussion with his family.
Although Huang Biao's family knew something about his research, they also had doubts, however, with no other choice, the family decided to support Huang Biao's decision.
Huang Biao signed a waiver agreement, expressing his willingness to take all responsibilities, and in the end, with the support of his family, Huang Biao successfully fed the bottle of yellow liquid to his father.
It turned out that after Huang Biao learned about the condition of his father, Mr. Huang, he was determined to find a medicine that could stop bleeding.
According to ancient records, the hearth soil is also known as "Fulong liver", which has the effect of drying dampness and stopping bleeding, however, this traditional earthen stove has long been absent in modern cities, and all he can rely on is the memory of the old house in his hometown.
Huang Biao decided to start with his relatives in his hometown to find this magical hearth soil, and he immediately called his uncle in his hometown and asked him to help find it.
In order to ensure that the real hearth soil is found, Huang Biao described in detail the characteristics and location of this soil: it must be three to five centimeters lower part of the old-fashioned earthen stove, and the clods formed by years of fire.
Huang Biao's uncle returned to his hometown and found the old mansion in the countryside, which is 100 years old and dilapidated, but Huang Biao's uncle firmly believes that he will be able to find the heart soil he needs here.
Uncle went into the kitchen and lifted the heavy iron pot, revealing layers of black clods of earth that had been burned by the smoke and fire for many years, and had formed hard lumps.
Huang Biao's uncle carefully excavated the clods, and he knew that not all clods were hearth soil, but only the clods that were three to five centimeters lower part of the firewood were the most effective.
He used a shovel to peel off the ashes and soot from the upper layer bit by bit, eventually revealing the cold, hard layer of hearth soil underneath, which had a pungent smell and was surprisingly cold to the touch.
Huang Biao's uncle carefully packed the excavated hearth soil into a cloth bag, and then sent it to Huang Biao, who was guarding his father in the hospital.
After Huang Biao received these precious hearth soils, he immediately inspected them. He put these clods into a cauldron and boiled them with water, following the method in ancient books.
Huang Biao carefully observed the yellow liquid boiled, and there was a fine sediment at the bottom, which was exactly the component of the hearth soil precipitation described in ancient books.
Miracles happen
Huang Biao slowly poured the bottle of yellow liquid into his father's mouth, and everyone held their breath and looked at Mr. Huang nervously.
Time passed minute by minute, and everyone's mood became heavier and heavier, however, twenty minutes later, a miracle happened, Mr. Huang's gastrointestinal bleeding suddenly stopped, and his complexion gradually returned to ruddy.
The doctors were extremely shocked by this, and they gathered around Huang Biao to ask about the origin and composition of the bottle.
Huang Biao explained in detail that the bottle of yellow liquid was actually boiled with clay and water, which he pointed out was called "hearth soil" in traditional Chinese medicine and had the effect of stopping bleeding.
Huang Biao described in detail the process of making "hearth soil": he took a few specific lumps of soil from his old house, dissolved them into a large pot of water and boiled them, and finally filtered out this yellow liquid.
After a long period of fire, the hearth soil forms a special ingredient that has a significant hemostatic effect.
After listening to this, the doctors conducted a detailed analysis of the soil and found that it did contain some ingredients that can stop bleeding, and this discovery made the doctors re-realize the wonder and profundity of traditional Chinese medicine.
Huang Biao's move not only saved his father's life, but also provided new ideas and inspiration for modern medicine.
Huang Biao's story of boiling water with clay to save his father quickly attracted the attention of the media, and reporters came to interview and record this miraculous story.
In the interview, Huang Biao showed in detail the production process of "hearth soil" and his own research experience of traditional Chinese medicine.
The response to Huang Biao's deeds has been enthusiastic, with many regaining confidence in the efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine, while others have begun to re-examine traditional treatment methods that have been forgotten.
Professor Liu Chunsheng of Beijing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine said that the hearth soil does have the effect of stopping bleeding in clinical practice, as well as the effect of dampness and nausea, and Huang Biao cured his father's serious illness with soil methods, which triggered extensive discussions from all walks of life.
The search and use of hearth soil
With the spread of Huang Biao's deeds, the hearth soil has become the focus of many people's attention, however, in the modern countryside, the traditional hearth stove has become less and less, and the place where the real hearth soil can be found is becoming more and more rare, and the Huang family regards the remaining hearth soil as a treasure and boils it irregularly for emergencies.
After some patients heard about Huang Biao's deeds, they also came to the door to ask for hearth soil, and the Huang family provided help according to the specific situation, but Huang Biao also reminded everyone that although the hearth soil is effective, it must be used under the guidance of a doctor, and cannot be used casually.
Huang Biao's story not only re-understands the value of traditional Chinese medicine, but also triggers reflections on the inheritance and development of traditional medicine.
