Chapter 921 To Live With Dignity
Chapter 921 To live with dignity
"Okay, don't embarrass yourself here. We don't have time to play with you here. Tell us what are you doing here? Otherwise, we won't be polite." Yan Dongyang was very annoyed by this guy and had no temper.
to him.
Hu Deyi was not angry after being told something by him. He replied seriously: "I was entrusted by everyone to find Lin Tian and senior Yan to find a solution."
"Find a way? What can we think of?" Lin Tian was confused by the lack of words and looked at other people who were the same as him.
Hu Deyi also knew that he was in a hurry and did not tell the reason. He tried to slow down and said calmly: "I am here on behalf of the Chinese Medicine Association of the Philippines. They asked me to come to you, hoping to get your help."
Lin Tian and his friends were shocked. There was a Chinese Medicine Guild in Manila. Hu Deyi said and did everything wrongly, but he was a medical doctor. The whole thing was so bizarre that everyone present was a little baffled.
After a moment of silence, Yan Yangxian took the initiative to invite Hu Deyi: "It's not convenient to talk here, let's talk in the room!"
Hu Deyi did not refuse and followed Yan Yangxian back to the room. Others also followed in, wanting to hear what kind of story this guy would bring.
"Oh, it's hard to finish..." Hu Deyi hesitated, as if he was addicted to words. As soon as he got up, Yan Yangxian took the initiative to comfort him and said: "It's okay. If it's what you said, we will try our best to help you."
Hu Deyi was moved and raised his head. He looked around at the people around him and saw that their eyes were full of curiosity and not sarcastic at all. He felt relieved and said: "My ancestors have been practicing medicine for generations. In the Ming Dynasty, my family still had a family.
I used to be a doctor who treated the emperor, but I didn’t expect that my life would be so miserable..."
After feeling sorry for myself for a while, I saw that everyone was looking at me wrongly, and I realized that I was off topic, so I apologized angrily: "I'm really sorry, this issue is very complicated, and I can't explain it clearly at the moment, so I would like to ask you to come to us tomorrow.
Go there and when you get there, you will understand!"
Hu Deyi said something incomprehensible, then stood up and walked out of the room. In view of this guy's weird words and deeds, everyone was not surprised at this moment.
His face was full of loneliness. Lin Tian could tell that he seemed to be worried. No one in this big life would have unspeakable difficulties. Hu Deyi's worried look was not like he pretended, so everyone stopped blaming him and let him go.
's departure.
As soon as he stepped out of the room, he turned his head again, handed a personal business card with both hands, bent down and said respectfully: "It has my address on it, I hope you will appreciate it tomorrow!"
Lin Tian took the business card and glanced down. It was composed of Chinese, English, and local Filipino characters. The business card was also crowded, and there was no space left. When he looked up at Hu Deyi's leaving figure, he looked lonely.
After sending away this strange guy Hu Deyi, everyone was not happy for some reason. They felt that this guy had the urge to complain, but they didn't know why they held back.
He repeatedly said that he was a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine, but why did he dress so casually? You must know that in China, although traditional Chinese medicine is declining, practitioners in the traditional Chinese medicine industry, let alone Yan Yangxian and other seniors, take Yan Dongyang as an example.
Very particular.
Yan Dongyang often says that he is a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine and he must pay attention to his image no matter where he goes, and he must not lose this person no matter what.
"Okay, it's time for me to go back. I was just reminiscing about old times and forgot about time." Yu Kaihong's cell phone buzzed loudly. He knew who was calling without even answering, and he bowed his hands apologetically to say goodbye.
It was getting late, and when Yu Kaihong was about to leave, the people present didn’t stop him. He couldn’t sleep in the room anyway, so they saw Yu Kaihong out. As soon as they got off the elevator, they saw Xu Manyun walking towards them. As soon as they saw Yu Kaihong,
Hong complained: "Grandpa, you are serious. If I don't come to pick you up, are you planning not to go home?"
Yu Kaihong smiled and said nothing, but Lin Tian interjected: "Miss Xu, do you know where Hong Kong City is?"
"I know! The largest shanty town in the Philippines." Xu Manyun replied and asked: "Why do you ask this so politely?"
"Tomorrow, we are going there. I want to ask specifically how to get there?"
When Xu Manyun heard that Lin Tian was going to Hong Kong City, he hurriedly dissuaded him: "I advise you not to go. There are people of all kinds from all walks of life there. We generally don't go there for fear of being targeted by bad people..."
Lin Tian said thoughtfully and said nothing again. Yan Yangxian's brows were twisted into the Chinese character "Chuan", and he looked worried.
"What's wrong with you? Did I say something wrong?" Seeing that everyone looked unhappy, Xu Manyun thought he had said something wrong and asked cautiously.
Lin Tian smiled and waved his hands: "It's okay, you didn't say anything wrong, I just thought of something..."
"You can let us go there tomorrow!" Yu Kaihong said to Xu Manyun, "You have lived in Manila for many years, and you will not find the wrong place when you take us there."
When Yu Kaihong opened his mouth, Xu Manyun had no choice but to agree no matter how unhappy he was. After struggling for most of the night, everyone was tired and dispersed without saying anything more.
The next day, Lin Tian and Yan Yangxian and several seniors rushed to Hong Kong City as scheduled. With Xu Manyun leading the way, they soon arrived in Hong Kong City.
"Okay, the city of Hong Kong is ahead. It's not that I didn't remind you that your belongings must not be exposed. Otherwise, a child will pop up from there and grab it..." Xu Manyun gave a few warnings to the people in the car in advance.
Vaccination.
Lin Tian looked out through the car window. No wonder Xu Manyun frowned when he heard the words "Hong Kong City". It is known as the shanty town in the Philippines. It is similar to the 13th District in France, full of violence, crime, and pornography.
, drug trade, and all the ugliness of human nature can be found here.
There was uncollected garbage all over the place, and the dilapidated walls were graffitied into incomprehensible abstract paintings. The stunted civilians looked at the cars passing in front of them with vigilant eyes.
Through the transparent glass window, Lin Tian clearly felt that he was in two different worlds with them, a place that even the police did not care about, and it was simply a paradise for those criminals.
Even though this place is very dirty, they still regard it as paradise, because their dirty hearts are dozens of times uglier than here.
Several people in the car shook their heads when they saw this scene. They didn't want to believe what they saw. Yan Yangxian shook his head and said: "It's not that I haven't seen poverty before. The shock that Hong Kong has brought to me is so great that it makes me
It’s hard to accept it all the time.”
It's not the same for other people, they just keep it in their hearts and don't say it.
Driving on the rugged and difficult streets of Hong Kong, from time to time there would be dark-skinned and thin children knocking on the car windows and reaching out to ask for money. Yan Dongyang just wanted to roll down the car window out of pity and give them some pocket money.
Xu Manyun stopped her and said, "You must not give it to her, otherwise we won't be able to leave."
Yan Dongyang was stunned at first, then thought about it and realized that it made sense. He couldn't blame Xu Manyun for not being sympathetic, but she was very experienced. Once she gave it to one of the children, the other children would surround their car like wasps.
, then the already rugged streets will become even more difficult to navigate.
"According to the address on the business card, we should be there in five or six minutes." Xu Manyun asked someone to borrow an SUV in order to cope with the complex environment of Hong Kong. The window glass is bulletproof and the steel plate of the vehicle body is very thick. No wonder Yan Yan
As soon as Dongyang got in the car, he joked: "Going to Hong Kong here and there is obviously going to Syria to support the front line."
The car body is very spacious, and a group of five or six people can sit in it without being crowded at all. However, this car also brought a lot of trouble to Xu Manyun, who is used to driving a light car. Fortunately, there was only a scare but no danger.
"We're here." Xu Manyun stopped the car, turned around and said to An Zhao, the people sitting in the back seat of the car: "You must be careful and don't make any mistakes."
"What? Aren't you going with us?" Yan Dongyang felt strange.
Xu Manyun replied angrily: "If I go with you, who will be responsible for calling the police if something goes wrong?"
"Whatever you want!" Seeing that she was too careful, Yan Dongyang stopped trying to persuade her. He shrugged helplessly and walked into a low bungalow with Lin Tian. The walls of the bungalow were also painted with many abstract paintings.
The windows were full of holes and few were intact, making the room even darker. Since no light could reach the room, an incandescent lamp was turned on during the day.
The lights are not bright, and the decoration in the room is very simple. A picture of human acupuncture points is hung on the dark wall, and there are a few medical books from an unknown age on the table with broken legs. Hu Deyi is still wearing the clothes he wore yesterday.
Seeing their sudden visit, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and quickly said: "You didn't even call before you came, so I can take care of things..."
Lin Tian and the others were mentally prepared on the way here, but they were still shocked when they saw such a bad environment. As for Hu Deyi's words just now to cover up his embarrassment, they no longer argued with him.
"Actually, I am a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine." Hu Deyi's words kept repeating in Lin Tian's mind for some reason. He suddenly felt very sad, and he couldn't explain why.
Compared to his sadness, other people's hearts were also heavy, like a lead weight stuck in their hearts, making it hard to breathe.
Hu Deyi was busy with his work, chatting on the phone and talking on the phone. After a while, all the friends he had gathered gathered together and packed the small room that was not spacious.
Lin Tian and the others were surrounded in the middle, like stars holding the moon.
"Which one of you is going to tell me?" Now that he's here, he'll settle down. Now that he's here, he has to figure out the cause and effect of the matter. Lin Tian took the initiative to ask the middle-aged man who looked a little rich: "Uncle, can you tell me?
?”
The rich middle-aged man did not refuse, and said bluntly: "My name is Ma Rulong, and Hu Deyi and I were both born in a family of traditional Chinese medicine. In order to escape the war, my parents crossed the ocean and came to the Philippines. But I didn't expect that after finally arriving in the Philippines, I ended up in the Philippines.
This outcome..."
Lin Tian said nothing and looked at Yan Dongyang, feeling vaguely that the misfortunes of this group of people were probably related to their status as Chinese medicine practitioners.
Ma Rulong is very talkative, and unlike Hu Deyi when he speaks, he narrates in an orderly manner: "I originally expected to make a living in the Philippines by relying on the skills passed down from my family, but what I didn't expect was that there is no medical practice here.
, even if we practice medicine, we only treat Chinese people and are not allowed to treat local people. In this way, we have fewer patients. Most of the people we live in are poor people who cannot afford to pay for medical treatment. Out of kindness, we often
There is no charge for medical treatment, but as a result, the aid comes and goes, turning us into poor people..."
We looked at each other speechless and shed tears. Everyone present looked lonely. Most of them are Chinese who have been here for their ancestors. Most of their professions are related to traditional Chinese medicine. But in this land, they are not like other Chinese.
He used his hard work and wisdom to live a happy life, but instead he became increasingly poor and became extremely poor.
Thinking about it, Lin Tian thought that all the unfair treatment he encountered when he first arrived in the Philippines was nothing to mention compared to them.
