The days of the retreat From Ye Xin’s "Xiangxi Prodigy Lady Mo Shu-zhen" | |
On November 2, 1998, Mo Shuzhen came back to Beijing after saying good-bye to the affectionate hometown. She was surprised that her clinic in China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences was closed down 3 days before. Originally, in those days when she was back to Xiangxi, various clinics came to settle down in the street of Beixincang Dongzhimennei, making the sham as the genuine, becoming the focus of the news, so became a key target of closing down, Mo Shuzhen’s clinic was cut at the same time. Was life really so dramatic?
The clinic was closed, but many people were gathering every day asking for the whereabouts of Mo Shuzhen. The small shops opposite, telephone booths, and small restaurants had become compulsorily consulting stations.
Some patients pretended to be MoShuZhen’s cousins, said that they were specifically to come to find Mo Shuzhen’s relatives. A couple from Harbin said: "Someone’s infertility for ten years had been cured, they had children. They introduced us to come for treatment." A woman from Tianjin said: "Several patients who came together with her took medicines, some of them were pregnant already. I came again for bringing medicines, but I couldn't find Mo Shuzhen now, I am really worried!"
They said: "If we cannot find Dr. Mo, we’ll try to put the information for finding her in newspaper!"
In a village of Shandong province there were several couples cured, other people came for treatment because they admired Dr. Mo’s fame.
A father and his daughter came from Shanghai. The daughter had amenorrhea for five years. With herbal treatment for three months, her menstruation came normally. They returned back with confidence for more treatment, but now they couldn’t find Dr. Mo. They were nervous with worries, so in a rage they tried to talk with the president of the academy.
The director of the outpatient department said: "the phone in office rings all the time. A lot of people said that they needed to use medicines for fetus protection and some of them had threatened abortion because they had not yet use the medicines for protection.
Owing to the complicated historical background and the specific reason at that time, Mo Shuzhen couldn’t do anything. Many pregnant women coming to tell good news could not find Mo Shuzhen, they had to write the news to Mo Shuzhen BP’s machine. They said: "We believe you, thank you. Waiting for you to open clinic again, we’ll bring our children to come to see you!"
Some well-informed people went to somewhere else to open their clinics. When the east was not bright, the west could be bright, and when the south was dark, there was still the north. Only Mo Shuzhen who was passionately devoted to China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences had nowhere to go.
Laid off for a year, Mo Shuzhen got serious amnesia. The irritability that having no opportunity to show her talents was always hitting against Mo Shuzhen’s heart.
One day, a friend introduced Mo Shuzhen to the clinic in Dongzhimen Xiejie, and said that he had a talk with the director already, and they agreed to meet at two o 'clock in the afternoon. Mo Shuzhen went to that clinic. Outside it was heavy traffic on the street, inside in the small and narrow corridor a few people in white coats looking at Mo Shuzhen with alert eyes. In the head office, a middle-aged male doctor didn’t say a few words and facing Mo Shuzhen always with his back. Mo Shuzhen couldn't find the feeling at all.
Mo Shuzhen came to Beijing because she thought that Xiangxi Tujia medicine could benefit the Chinese people and the people of the world, Mo Shuzhen herself also need appreciation and support, this was not a matter of selling more medicines or less medicines.
Mo Shuzhen came back from that clinic without more and deep communication. To have dealings with such people, Mo ShuZhen preferred staying at home.
One day, passing by Dongsi Shitiao, she saw a clinic called "Guoyiguan (Traditional Chinese Medical Center)". She entered. Many doctors’ photos were hanging on the wall, and all of them were with high qualifications. There were several patients in clinic. Outside the clinic, there was grassland. The environment condition was good, Mo Shuzhen thought, if I could work here it’ll be good.
She came out. She asked a man in white coat coming from a room on the left side that whether they hired doctors here or not. That man said: "Where are you from?" "From outside Beijing." "From outside Beijing, how can you work here!" His eyes ruthlessly stared at Mo Shuzhen. Mo Shuzhen escaped. MAO Zedong was also from outside Beijing, but he worked here as Chairman for decades of years!
