Chapter 578 - Cultural Exchange Meeting (1/2)

Su Hui asked, “Grandpa, why don’t you announce this discovery to prove it?”

Liu Qigong replied, “Some things are not as simple as you think. There are actually many pieces of evidence like this, but these finds all belong to our country. Other countries will not officially admit them.

“Therefore, it’s not appropriate for the government to spread rumors. Some of the contentions are held privately among the people.”

Qin Haodong nodded and looked at the ancient Huaxia characters on the letter. He said, “I didn’t expect people would misunderstand the history.”

Liu Qigong said, “According to our research, this letter was written by someone called Kim Daegeun. He became a diplomatic official of the Koryo thanks to his beautiful writing. He wrote everything on the letter in person.”

“Kim Daegeun?”

Qin Haodong was a little stunned when he heard the name which was easily misunderstandable.

He asked again, “I still don’t understand why there is such a thing in Wei Zhongxian’s tomb?”

Liu Qigong said, “The people have negative opinions about Wei Zhongxian. In the eyes of the common people, he is a traitor.

“However, from a historical point of view, he contributed a lot to the Ming Dynasty, including establishing diplomatic relations with other countries and resisting the invasion of the foreign clans.

“He was also ambitious. He probably wanted his descendants to see his accomplishments, so he intentionally placed this letter in his grave.”

When they were chatting, the door opened and Su Hongbo walked in.

Su Hui asked, “Grandpa, why did come home so late today?”

“Oh. We had an emergency meeting throughout the whole afternoon. It lasted too long.” Su Hongbo replied before grabbing Qin Haodong and telling him, “Little Qin, come here quickly. I have something to tell you.”

Then he took Qin Haodong to another room in a hurry.

Liu Qigong said discontentedly, “Little Qin is discussing archaeology with me.”

“It’s boring. I have business to discuss with him. Su Hui, come with us. Liu, you don’t need to follow and create trouble.”

Su Hongbo took Qin Haodong and Su Hui to another room and closed the door.

Qin Haodong asked, “What’s the matter?”

Su Hongbo replied, “Something important is going to happen. The academic exchange group from Koryo Medical College will come to our school tomorrow.”

Su Hui said, “It’s just an exchange group. It’s not a big deal. It’s normal that there are exchange groups visiting our school. Why are you so nervous?”

“This time is completely different from the past.” Su Hongbo said solemnly, “This cultural exchange is aimed at our School of Chinese Medicine, or rather it is aimed at Chinese traditional medicine.

“Because of this, the college is paying a lot of attention to it. Even the Ministry of Public Health is paying special attention to this matter and has repeatedly told the college to deal with it carefully.”

Qin Haodong asked, “Is it that serious?”

Su Hongbo said, “This time, the exchange group is fierce and malicious. Their leader is Li Mintae, the visiting professor of Koryo Medical College. He is also called a Medical Sage in their country, just like you.”

Qin Haodong smiled and said, “They have little medical skills. How dare they call him a Medical Sage?”

Su Hongbo said, “That’s the problem. This guy is arrogant.

“Not only does he call himself the Medical Sage, but he also often says that Chinese medicine originated from this country.”

Qin Haodong frowned and said, “This guy is really shameless and has no bottom line. Is he worthy?”

“The competition between Koryo medicine and Chinese medicine is very heated recently, and Li Mintae is the main representative of Koryo medicine. Just a few days before he came to Huaxia, he also specifically published a relevant thesis.

“Therefore, we speculate that they would take this opportunity to launch an attack at the exchange meeting to publicize that their medical skills are better than ours. We will be responsible for the reception, and it will be very bad if we don’t deal with it well.

“In addition to that, in order to expand the influence, they not only invited many international media reporters but also invited Miss Alice, the president of the World Medical Association, to join this exchange.

“Because of this, this exchange meeting is now related to the image of Chinese medicine and Huaxia. Hence, our college is paying a lot of attention to it and the school is even more nervous.”

Qin Haodong didn’t care and said, “In fact, it’s not necessary. Whatever he does or says, the facts can’t be changed.”

Su Hongbo said, “As long as I have you, the Medical Sage, I’m confident. But you’ve disappeared for several days and I was so worried. I was afraid that you won’t be able to make it to the exchange meet.
