Li Maoyang, the Village Doctor

Traditional Chinese medicine texts need a systematic approach to facilitate learning and to explain the origins of medical techniques; otherwise, there would be no shortcuts to learning medicine.

The book is well-written; I really enjoyed the protagonist's dedication to gradually improving his medical skills. The character development is also quite good. Unfortunately, as the story progresses, the protagonist only improves his medical skills, while his medical ethics remain stagnant, and his character even seems to decline.

I skipped through the later parts, and it felt increasingly regressive and frustrating. What I valued was the protagonist's character and skill, not the various compromises made at the beginning.

His medical skills are good, and his medical ethics are decent, but his shameless behavior of liking two women at the same time and not wanting to let go of either is disgusting. I really dislike this kind of scum.

This is a very good book. I recommended it to my students studying Western medicine. There's also another book, *Xu Yang's Traditional Chinese Medicine*, which is already finished and I've read it twice. We're in a medical school, and I teach English.

The new book is about to launch; let's first smell the sunshine!

I think we shouldn't have too many scenarios involving remote medical consultations. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) diagnosis, half the skill lies in pulse diagnosis (observation, auscultation, inquiry, and palpation). Relying solely on systemic medication won't significantly improve medical skills and is actually a misguided approach.

Foreigners have more faith in Traditional Chinese Medicine than Chinese people. This was something I heard while chatting with a friend on a basketball game; his family has been practicing medicine for generations. I'm interested because I like history and Taoist culture. To be frank, medical novels have a reading threshold, so it depends on the author's writing style and how they develop the plot, especially in creating distinctive characters.

The story is getting increasingly toxic; the protagonist's saintly aura is so strong you could see it from a hundred meters away. He has a cheat code and still wants to go to university? With this ability, he can treat any patient referred by an acquaintance for free? Is this still the same protagonist? They can't just throw in such a frustrating and inconsistent plot just to pad the story!

It's well-written, with simple language and a reasonable application of the system. There aren't too many pretentious or self-contradictory statements. I've read a lot of articles on traditional Chinese medicine, and this is my favorite! It's just that following it is a bit of a struggle!
