She checked the forum and saw the post mentioned by Academician Zhou. It had over a thousand replies, half of which were belittling traditional Chinese medicine.

Because Western medicine relied more on advanced equipment, its development was bound to surpass that of traditional Chinese medicine—this was an indisputable fact.

Becoming a century-old family was difficult, but aspiring to be the nouveau riche was both hopeful and achievable.
