Reborn in 1977

Chapter 315: Really eager to learn!

After breakfast, everyone took a minivan to the Health School.

The Health School was established relatively early. The "Health Personnel Training Class" established in 1952 was the predecessor of the Health School. At that time, less than two years after its construction, the training class became a "Primary Health School."

Later generations may be relatively unfamiliar with "primary schools" and may not know what level they correspond to.

At that time, in addition to health-related primary schools, there were also normal schools.

Unlike secondary vocational school qualifications, which are benchmarked against high schools, primary vocational schools are benchmarked against junior high schools. That is to say, primary school graduates who pass the examination can be admitted to such schools, and they will be assigned jobs directly after graduation. They are considered the earliest vocational training schools.

In addition, the admission time was not unified in those years. Some children entered primary school as young as 4 or 5 years old, so when many people started working, the youngest were not yet 14 years old. … It's not that there weren't any younger ones, but schools generally kept them for two more years before letting them go when they were almost 14 years old.

Otherwise, being too young would be inappropriate, and the masses would not trust them.

The purpose of establishing primary schools was to meet the needs of grassroots units for professional personnel as soon as possible.

Later, with the development of education, these immature "primary schools" gradually disappeared into history around the 1970s and 1980s. The starting point of vocational education was raised to the "secondary vocational school" stage. Perhaps only older people still remember the existence of "primary normal schools" and "primary health schools."

Not long after the training class became a primary school, during the "Great Leap Forward" period, this primary health school was naturally upgraded to a secondary vocational school.

Less than a year later, as various districts and counties in the Yunhu area successively established their own secondary vocational "health schools," the prefectural committee felt that it was necessary to have its own higher health school to maintain appearances, so it upgraded this secondary vocational school again, turning it into the only health college in the Yunhu area.

According to the original historical trajectory, in the 1990s, Yunhu Health School would be upgraded again, evaluated as an undergraduate institution, and have the qualifications to recruit graduate students. As for whether it was a master's or a doctoral degree, Chen Fan didn't bother to investigate. However, this school also has a significant influence in the entire Jiangnan Province health system, and many big shots in the system have come out of this school.

But now, it is just a small college trapped in a few old classrooms with just over a thousand students.

The car drove to the gate of the Health School and slowed down. Chen Fan chatted with others while paying attention to the surroundings of the school gate.

Almost instantly, he saw Jiang Tiantian hiding in the corner not far from the school gate, and immediately shouted, "Please stop for a moment."

The driver instinctively braked, and everyone in the car lurched forward. Fortunately, no one fell.

Yan Liyuan immediately turned around and looked at him, "Teacher Chen, what's wrong?"

Everyone around him also looked at him.

Chen Fan smiled sheepishly, "A friend is here. I don't know if it's convenient to let her in."

Yan Liyuan looked left and right, "Your friend? Where is she?"

Chen Fan coughed, "In the corner on the left, next to the road."

Yan Liyuan looked in the direction he said, first stunned, then came back to his senses, turned to look at him, his eyes somewhat meaningful, "I didn't expect you to have friends in the prefectural committee. Why didn't you say so before?"

More than a dozen old guys, whose combined age could be several hundred years, were scrambling to look out.

"Where is she? Oh, I see her."

"Oh, your friend is a girl!"

"She looks quite energetic. Which unit does she work for?"

"Coming so early, does she want to listen to the lecture, or does she want to listen to the lecture?"

"The little girl is very attentive. Coming so early, she's really eager to learn."

Chen Fan raised his hands in surrender, "Please let me go. She's just an ordinary friend. She really just wants to listen to the lecture."

Hao Liyang laughed, "Understood, understood. Listening to the lecture, a good comrade who loves to learn."

Then he gestured to Yan Liyuan, "Section Chief Yan, go and say hello to the gatekeeper and let her in."

Yan Liyuan immediately laughed and got out of the car.

Behind the minivan, Zhang Juemin and Zhang Wenliang were sitting on a motorcycle, and when they saw the car in front stop, they were wondering what was going on. Then they saw Yan Liyuan get out of the car, greet the gatekeeper, and then wave in a certain direction.

Zhang Wenliang looked in that direction, and the next second he frowned, turned to Zhang Juemin and whispered, "Brother, look at that woman."

Zhang Juemin squinted and looked, "I see her. What's wrong?"

Zhang Wenliang, "Don't you think she looks like someone?"

"Looks like someone? Who?"

Zhang Juemin was still a little confused at first, but before Zhang Wenliang could speak, he suddenly reacted, "She looks a lot like Jiang Lili!"

The two sisters looked so much alike that if the difference in temperament wasn't so great, people would probably mistake them for twins at first glance.

Zhang Wenliang squinted and said, "It seems that yesterday, Little Chen did more than just deliver a letter."

Zhang Juemin nodded in agreement, "I was wondering why it took an hour to deliver a letter. Sure enough, there's more to it than meets the eye!"

Zhang Wenliang, "Brother, what should we do?"

Zhang Juemin frowned slightly, "Let's wait and see. We'll respond to all changes by staying the same!"

The rider in front took off his hat and looked back at them, "What are you talking about? Do you know this woman?"

The two shook their heads together, "We don't know her."

…

Chen Fan opened the window and waved to Jiang Tiantian, then pointed to the inside of the school, "Go in first, and follow the car later."

Jiang Tiantian was wearing a blue single garment today, with a canvas bag slung over her shoulder and a liberation cap on her head. She looked no different from ordinary passers-by on the street.

But looking closer, you could see her natural and graceful temperament, and her extraordinary face.

She followed Yan Liyuan and waited for Chen Fan to finish speaking, then smiled and waved, "Got it, see you later."

Then she politely nodded to the gatekeeper and walked into the school.

The car driver then restarted the engine and drove in.

Soon, the car stopped in front of a large auditorium, and everyone got out of the car one after another, shaking hands and exchanging greetings with the school leaders who were already waiting here.

As for today's protagonist, Chen Fan, he was naturally pushed to the front.

After the greetings, the principal smiled at Chen Fan, "I have long admired Teacher Chen. In the past few days, your name can be said to be known to everyone in our Yunhu health system. Today, we have finally waited for you."

Chen Fan was naturally humble, "No, no, not at all. I am just a primary school student and need to learn from all the seniors."

Hao Liyang laughed aside, "You don't have to be so polite, let's get to the point sooner rather than later."

The principal laughed and nodded in agreement, then turned and pointed to the auditorium behind him, "Teacher Chen, please. The students and teachers are ready."

Then Chen Fan, surrounded by everyone, entered the auditorium.

This auditorium resembled a lecture hall in a university, with rows of long benches on tiers, packed tightly to accommodate many people.

It also had a touch of a theater, with a stage over a meter high at the front.

Perfect for convenient demonstrations.

Jiang Tiantian followed the crowd in and stood in a corner, but Yan Liyuan spotted her and invited her to sit at the edge of the first row.

The entire first row was empty, naturally reserved for the people from the Health Department and school leaders.

Once everyone was seated, Chen Fan was just about to go on stage to begin his lecture when he noticed a dark mass of people outside the auditorium, blocking the entrance and windows tightly, yet despite so many people, they weren't making much noise.

Chen Fan thought for a moment, then leaned over and whispered a few words to the principal, who was immediately overjoyed and stood up to say loudly, "Students outside, please don't crowd the entrance, go back to your classrooms first.

Everyone, please don't be anxious, Teacher Chen just said that he will give the lecture multiple times today to ensure that every student can hear and see it."

The auditorium erupted in enthusiastic applause.

Chen Fan glanced back; despite the teachers' efforts to persuade them, the students were unwilling to leave and remained blocking the doors and windows.

If it had been a few days earlier, and the school had announced that a young man would be giving a lecture, they might have reluctantly attended, but without much enthusiasm.

However, in the past few days, they had heard news from graduates working at several People's Hospitals, learning that this Teacher Chen, despite his young age, possessed genuine skills.

In particular, his self-created airway foreign body removal method had already saved several lives.

Moreover, he was working with the experienced experts from the Health Department to innovate existing first aid methods.

As a result, the students' enthusiasm was unprecedentedly high; even though the principal said he would lecture multiple times, they were reluctant to leave.

If they could listen several times, why only listen once?

Wouldn't they learn better if they could listen more often?!

Of course, although the people didn't leave, Chen Fan's statement still earned him even more goodwill, as evidenced by the enthusiastic applause earlier.

Seeing the students' high level of enthusiasm for learning, Chen Fan was also somewhat surprised.

He had assumed that these students, recommended to attend school, might not be so keen on studying, but now it seemed that their attitude towards learning was no worse than those students who were admitted through the college entrance examination later on.

Indeed, one shouldn't view things with a rigid perspective.

Yes, the same goes for people.

Since everyone was unwilling to leave, Chen Fan didn't delay any further and asked Zhang Juemin and Zhang Wenliang to cooperate, starting the on-site teaching.

At this time, his lecturing style underwent some changes, somewhere between that of a veterinarian and a hospital doctor.

Hao Liyang and Yan Liyuan didn't know how he had lectured the veterinarians in Lujiawan before, but they had both seen Chen Fan's performance in the hospital and the Health Department, so they immediately noticed the difference.

Yan Liyuan leaned slightly, closer to Hao Liyang, and whispered, "Is he teaching according to the student's aptitude?"

Hao Liyang nodded gently, his expression rather serious, "When he lectured at the hospital and the Health Department, he only talked about the key points of the operation, which part of the body and which acupoints were targeted.

As for why those places were chosen, which one of us didn't understand?

He didn't say a word about it.

But the students in the school have different foundations; some haven't even figured out the most basic medical principles, so at this time, it's necessary to combine theory with practice, and then he'll explain it very clearly."

He looked at Chen Fan on the stage, his gaze somewhat meaningful, and asked, "I don't remember, who did he learn his medical skills from?"

Yan Liyuan immediately said, "Before the public-private partnership, there was a Baohe Pharmacy in Gufeng County, and the resident master was named Lu Shouquan.

The other one is Dong Qingzheng, a bonesetter from Nanhuzhen, and they have both been rehired by the Nanhuzhen Health Center.

Little Chen learned from those two, but not for long, only a few months."

Hao Liyang thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "I know Master Lu Shouquan, he's very skilled at pulse diagnosis.

I haven't heard of Dong Qingzheng, his medical skills should be so-so.

But those two actually taught such a student, it can be considered a lucky find."

Now Chen Fan has made a name for himself in the Yunhu health system, although only in the field of first aid, but as long as he doesn't leave Yunhu, he can have some connections no matter which hospital he goes to.

Once the 《First Aid Manual》 is printed and distributed, and the airway foreign body removal method spreads throughout the country, that reputation will also spread with it.

Those two old doctors can become Chen Fan's mentors, and they will likely be able to publicize their names as well; wouldn't that be a lucky find?

Yan Liyuan also nodded with a smile, a hint of regret in his eyes as he looked at Chen Fan, "It's a pity that Little Chen is unwilling to come to the Health Department, otherwise, if he continued his studies and learned more advanced medical skills, with his ability to teach flexibly, he might become a pillar of the health school in the future."

Hao Liyang smiled and said, "Everyone has their own ambitions, so don't force them."

After a pause, he smiled again, "However, if there's an opportunity in the future, arrange a few training sessions for him, and slowly improve his education and abilities.

Even in the commune, he can shine and generate heat."

Chen Fan staying in Lujiawan is also beneficial to him in every way.

If Chen Fan is the "inventor," then he is the "promoter" of the airway foreign body removal method.

If the inventor stands on the stage, then he, the promoter, becomes an invisible person.

Originally, he was thinking of giving Chen Fan a cadre position and then arranging a leisurely job for him, which would also make it easier to control him, and then he could share some of the benefits.

Since he's unwilling, that's exactly what he wanted, and he can just make some compensation in other areas later.

As for encroaching on "academic achievements," it seems that in this era, I haven't heard of anyone daring to do that.

… Except for those that are negotiated in advance.

Unfortunately, this achievement was reported from the bottom up, and there was no opportunity to negotiate.

While they were talking quietly offstage, Chen Fan stood on the stage, gathering his energy and lecturing in the loudest voice possible.

Each time he lectured, Zhang Wenliang and Zhang Juemin next to him cooperated tacitly, demonstrating the different symptoms one by one, while Chen Fan, holding the simplest equipment, or without any equipment, demonstrated how to treat them with his bare hands.

Even after compressing and streamlining as much as possible, it still took almost two hours to explain the thirty treatment methods.

Fortunately, this auditorium is not small, and can accommodate more than 300 people at a time.

It only took three lectures to complete the lecture for all one thousand teachers and students in the school.

Two lectures in the morning, a simple lunch at noon, a short break, and another lecture in the afternoon, and the lecture at the health school today was successfully completed.

Finally, when it was time to leave, almost all the teachers and students of the school gathered on the playground, surrounding them and applauding.

Amidst the enthusiastic applause, Chen Fan and the others boarded the tour bus and slowly drove out of the school.

Jiang Tiantian stood outside the crowd, looking at Chen Fan waving to the students from the car window, her face full of smiles.
