Chapter 146 Wang Tianfeng travels to the modern era 5
A dose of penicillin can save a life, but this drug is strictly controlled by the United States and its price is comparable to gold.
After taking the medicine, he really felt that the wound was less painful.
"This medicine is magical." Wang Tianfeng couldn't help but sigh.
"Can ordinary people buy this medicine?" In Wang Tianfeng's opinion, this medicine is comparable to an elixir.
Although this statement is a bit exaggerated, it is indeed rare for him.
Shen Chuhuan took out a few beautifully packaged anti-inflammatory pills.
"These pills are actually very popular now. They can be bought not only in large pharmacies in cities, but also in small pharmacies in the countryside. When ordinary people get sick, they can buy this medicine at a very low cost," she explained to Wang Tianfeng.
Wang Tianfeng listened intently, his eyes fixed on the small pill.
In his time, medicines that were difficult to obtain even for high-ranking military officials became commonplace among ordinary people before his eyes.
This was somewhat unbelievable to him, but at the same time he was shocked and admired the technological progress and social development of this era.
Chu Hua continued, "Not only that, our current medical system is also very developed. There are large hospitals and professional doctors in the city, and many health stations have been established in rural areas to ensure everyone's basic medical needs. This is the result of scientific and technological progress."
Wang Tianfeng remained silent, his thoughts drifting away.
He recalled the days of war when many of his comrades died from simple wound infections. If they had had such medicines and medical conditions at that time, how many would have survived?
"Uncle, what's wrong with you?" Chu Hua noticed that Wang Tianfeng was a little depressed and asked softly.
Wang Tianfeng shook his head and smiled: "Nothing, I just thought that your era is really lucky. It is really not easy to enjoy such scientific and technological achievements and a peaceful environment."
Chu Hua felt the deep meaning in Wang Tianfeng's words. She knew that this hero from the past had too many stories and sacrifices in his heart.
She said softly, "Yes, uncle. Our happy life now is hard-earned. Every effort, struggle and sacrifice in the past is for the peace today. We will remember history and cherish the present."
"You know what, uncle? This era has not only made great progress in medical care, but our education, technology, culture, and citizens' living standards have also made great progress. For example, we can acquire knowledge through online education and do not need to go to school to study like before. Anyway, you will live here in the future, so I will tell you these slowly." Chu Hua hopes to use more examples to let Wang Tianfeng understand the multi-dimensional development of this era.
Wang Tianfeng was attracted by Chu Hua's words and he was eager to know more about this new world.
Chu Hua believes that the simplest and most intuitive way is to tell the changes of history through images.
She feels that visualizing historical events can help Wang Tianfeng better understand the achievements of this era and the efforts behind it.
So she searched for some modern history documentaries on her laptop, which recorded in detail the major historical nodes and changes from old China to the founding of New China and then to modernization.
The plot is interspersed with real images of various historical figures and social landscapes of different periods, which will undoubtedly bring Wang Tianfeng a strong visual impact and emotional experience.
"Uncle, I'm afraid that reading can't fully make you understand the changes in this world, and you may not recognize all the current fonts. Let's start with these documentaries." Chu Hua said softly, and took out the projection equipment to prepare for playback.
After everything was ready, an old black-and-white movie began to play on the big screen in the living room. Wang Tianfeng sat quietly on the sofa, staring intently.
The documentary starts with old photos and videos from a hundred years ago, telling the changes that have taken place in the country at various historical stages, including war, famine, reform and opening up, to the modern era of rapid technological development.
Whenever a historical clip that he is familiar with is played, Wang Tianfeng can't help but fall into deep thought.
He has vivid memories of the war-torn years, and the sacrificed comrades, the difficult times, and the passionate fighting spirit are all presented again on the screen in a brand new form.
When the documentary played the part about Japan's surrender, the atmosphere in the room became particularly solemn.
In the black and white images, scenes of the end of the war appear on the screen. These seemingly simple shots carry the sacrifices and sufferings of countless people, as well as the joy and relief brought by victory.
Chu Huan glanced sideways at Wang Tianfeng and found that his expression was extremely complicated, as if he was deeply shocked by the scene in the video.
She knew that this part of history was not just history to Wang Tianfeng, but also the years he had personally experienced and participated in.
Wang Tianfeng's eyes welled up with tears. They had truly won. At this moment, all the sacrifices, struggles and pains seemed to have been rewarded.
Coming from that war-torn era, Wang Tianfeng asked himself countless times whether all these sacrifices were worth it. Today, he finally got the answer.
Chu Hua took out a box of tissues and handed it to Wang Tianfeng.
"Uncle, this is for the future. Everyone's efforts and sacrifices are for us to live a better life. You and your comrades are the most respectable people."
Wang Tianfeng took the tissue and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.
The documentary then shows a chaotic and difficult period when China was riddled with internal conflicts, external forces were eyeing it covetously, and the people lived in dire straits.
Under Chiang Kai-shek's rule, government corruption, soldiers' tyranny, and repeated failed decisions both internally and externally exacerbated the domestic crisis and the people's suffering.
In the video, old photos and historical clips appear alternately, showing how the people of that era sought ways to survive in oppression and despair.
In some places, farmers were displaced due to high land rents; in some cities, workers went on strike to protest against low wages; there were even students who bravely stood up and spoke out in pursuit of the ideals of freedom and equality.
Looking at these, Wang Tianfeng frowned.
Chu Hua sensed Wang Tianfeng's doubts and tried to explain: "At that time, Chiang's government was in chaos, and with the provocation of external enemies, he slaughtered his compatriots even more unscrupulously. Therefore, our party deserves the name, and we have the prosperous country we have now."
Wang Tianfeng seemed to be moved by Chu Hua's words. Although he belonged to the Military Control Commission, he still had some understanding of the party Chu Hua was talking about. That annoying poisonous snake seemed to be connected with it.
