Ling Zhenfei's analogy left everyone stunned; it was just too fitting.
Xia Shan hurriedly tried to salvage the situation, saying, "It's like this, our entire show is live, so let's not get too emotional. Let's continue with the next question."
Xia Shan looked through her notebook and said, "This is another question from a netizen: They asked why you always try to promote yourself as an internet celebrity."
Ling Zhenfei was taken aback after hearing the question. This question must have been intentionally set up by the show's team. If he answered, it would be tantamount to falling into a trap, either admitting to self-promotion or acknowledging being an internet celebrity.
The term "hype" is a pitfall; one can easily fall into it and find it impossible to get back up.
"I'm sorry, I'm not an internet celebrity, nor have I ever engaged in hype. Take today's interview for example; it was you who brought me here, and it began with these three people. If there's any hype, it's the show's hype."
"You say you haven't engaged in hype, then how did you become famous? Are you serious?"
"Your videos are all hype, right?"
"Exactly! And the most infuriating thing is your title. Who told you you're a Divine Doctor? Isn't that hype!"
"Who called me Divine Doctor? You can go online and shut their mouths. How people speak and act is their own freedom.
As for whether I know how to treat so many difficult diseases, you can ask the people I've cured.
Since I started, countless people doubted me, so in Modu, I did live broadcasts of my treatments just to silence the skeptics. How long has it been since then? And now the doubts are back."
Xia Shan hurriedly said, "I truly didn't expect that the three guests today have such strong opinions about our main guest, Mr. Ling Zhenfei.
So let's first interview Mr. Song Qiuming, Chairman of the Chinese Western Medicine Council. Mr. Song, what is your opinion on the appearance of Divine Doctors in the medical world, claiming to cure all diseases?"
Song Qiuming spoke coldly, "Everyone knows that when you go to a hospital, you have to register at different departments, like pediatrics, gynecology, ENT, ophthalmology, etc. Why is this? It's because of the specialization in medicine.
Every doctor has their own specialty. A pediatrician can't treat gynecological diseases, so you register at the department relevant to your illness. Someone like Mr. Ling claiming to cure all diseases, it's simply an insult to the word medicine."
Ling Zhenfei was stunned after hearing this; Song Qiuming was truly malicious. He is the Chairman of the Chinese Medical Association, who questioned him online publicly, and now he was criticizing him face-to-face.
Ling Zhenfei really didn't understand what this person meant.
At this time, Xia Shan also said, "Chairman Song spoke very well. Let's continue with an interview with Mr. Ge Zifeng from the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association. Is there really someone who can cure everything in your field?"
Ge Zifeng adjusted his glasses and said, "I've already said earlier, there is no such thing as a Divine Doctor who cures all diseases. Chinese medicine has declined, it lacks motivation in the research of modern medicine.
Everyone knows modern medicine moves forward, always innovating, while traditional Chinese medicine researches the ancient ancestors. As Ling Zhenfei said, all treatment methods have been clearly documented by the ancestors.
But everyone needs to understand that this is fundamentally a wrong statement. For instance, many cancers today didn't exist in the past. Since there wasn't this disease back then, how could the ancestors write down the treatment methods?
So if someone in traditional Chinese medicine claims to have found a method to treat such diseases in ancient classics, we can easily tell this person is a fraud and a liar."
Ling Zhenfei was furious, thinking: the way he said it, he might as well be calling me a fraud directly.
At this moment, Xia Shan continued saying, "Mr. Ge spoke very well. Next, let's hear from Mr. Li Huiyu, a social commentator from Zhu Ming. Mr. Li, what's your take on the phenomenon of Divine Doctors?"
Li Huiyu nodded at Xia Shan and said, "I respect the opinions of the public. It's similar to the Americans' worship of superheroes; our people also have a superhero dream.
So someone exploited this loophole by dressing as a superhero who can cure all diseases, which aligns with the public's psyche, providing them with psychological solace.
As for Divine Doctors, I think you should just envision it; don't truly believe you're a Divine Doctor, lest it leads to nothing but loss."
Xia Shan asked, "So can I understand that Divine Doctors are all fake, merely imagined by the public, correct?"
Li Huiyu said, "Exactly."
Xia Shan said to the three, "Since all three of you claim there are no Divine Doctors, then how do you explain those treatment videos that appeared online before?"
Ge Zifeng started laughing, "How did Sun Wukong appear? He even rides on clouds. How did Spider-Man come? He even saves the world. Aren't these all created by movies?"
Xia Shan pretended to be shocked, "No, because I saw many of those videos were shot by passersby, so they should be real, right?"
Li Huiyu said, "This is the most advanced filming technique nowadays. Such filming effects are realistic, making everyone think it's inadvertently shot, not staged."
Ling Zhenfei listened to the three and remained expressionless, but he wanted to give the three of them plus Xia Shan a good beating. They had set him up, inviting him to such a show, claiming it was a talk show.
This show was evidently out to suppress him, especially with the Chinese Western Medicine Council and the Traditional Chinese Medicine Council colluding; they didn't plan to let him thrive in the medical circle.
After the three had mostly finished talking, Xia Shan then started asking Ling Zhenfei.
"Mr. Ling, the three guests have already said plenty. This was initially supposed to be a talk show discussing Lele's facial recovery, but it turned out the three were unanimous in questioning your Medical Arts.
Facing such a situation, do you have any explanations, or do you agree with what they said and think no explanation is needed?"
Ling Zhenfei laughed, "The three spoke excellently, and it moved me to tears. But you all forgot one thing, which is to speak with facts.
The real Divine Doctor stands right before you, yet you pretend not to see. Just because you can't do something doesn't mean others can't. The world's medicine, and China's medicine specifically, does not progress because of short-sighted people like you.
All the people I've treated have detailed records searchable. Moreover, every month, I treat someone chosen by vote, which is indisputable.
You say cancer can't be cured. If you three have cancer, you can come seek me, and if I'm in a good mood, I might cure you just like that. But that will depend on my mood.
