At the Welcome Gala, One Song About the Compendium of Materia Medica Takes the Crowd by Storm

At the Huaxia Drama Academy's welcome gala, the second- and third-year students put on one performance after another to welcome the incoming freshmen, earning cheers from the packed hall.

But Su Chen, who had transmigrated here, sat in the audience with his brow furrowed into a knot.

Because he had discovered that all he'd heard that night were Korean, Japanese, or English songs.

He hadn't heard a single Chinese song all evening.

"This is the prestigious Huaxia Drama Academy, and the entire welcome gala hasn't had a single Chinese song. This lousy gala isn't even worth watching!"

Su Chen complained angrily and prepared to leave.

But just then, the host spotted him and called him up to perform.

Without a moment's hesitation, Su Chen jumped onto the stage.

"After listening to foreign songs all night, I'm sure you're sick of them by now. Up next, here's an original song of mine, 'Ben Cao Gang Mu,' dedicated to you all!"

"If Hua Tuo were alive, he'd cure everyone of their worship of foreign things. Foreigners would come to learn Chinese characters, awakening my people's national consciousness."

The moment he began to sing,

the whole hall erupted.

And so the era of Chinese pop began.
