Xuan Guowei.
On June 24, Nandu reporters learned from the Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine that Xuan Guowei, the second master of traditional Chinese medicine and former vice president of the Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine (The Second Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine), died at 5:5 on the 24th. He died of illness in Guangzhou at the age of 86.
Xuan Guowei is a pioneer in contemporary Lingnan dermatology. Under his leadership, he was the first in the country to separate the dermatology department from the surgery of traditional Chinese medicine. In a period of clinical practice, he has overcome many difficult and complicated diseases in the field of dermatology. He has repeatedly suffered from serious diseases such as atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, connective tissue diseases, etc. He is known as the "Skin Master" and is famous throughout the world. inside and outside.
Mr. Xuan, who is still in his early years, insists on seeing a doctor six times a week. Having practiced medicine for more than 60 years, in Mr. Xuan's heart, taking good care of the disease is the most fundamental thing. This is the "righteousness" in the eyes of the old man.
Yashi Qihuang One of the first batch of Chinese medicine college students after the founding of New China
In the 1930s, Xuan Guowei was born and grew up on Longjin Road, Guangzhou City, where there were many medical clinics and famous doctors gathered. Watching the patient recover under the treatment of traditional Chinese medicine, Xuan Guowei quietly planted a seed in his heart that he was committed to Qihuang.
In 1957, Xuan Guowei graduated from Guangya Middle School and was admitted to Guangzhou College of Traditional Chinese Medicine (now Guangzhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine) with excellent results.
That year, the school only admitted 60 people. Mr. Xuan was admitted and became the first batch of Chinese medicine practitioners trained under the new Chinese medicine training system after the founding of New China. After graduating from a 6-year undergraduate university, he was assigned to the First Affiliated Hospital of Hunan College of Traditional Chinese Medicine and became a dermatologist.
In 1976, Xuan Guowei returned to Guangzhou and worked at the Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, where he quickly grew into an outstanding TCM dermatologist. Under his promotion, the Department of Dermatology of Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine has now developed into a national key discipline (specialty) and the most influential discipline (specialty) of traditional Chinese medicine in the country. It has been ranked among the academic disciplines (specialties) of national traditional Chinese medicine hospitals for three consecutive years. Top of the influence rankings.
Personally experience the simple integrity check of traditional Chinese medicine, and the per capita health care fee is 5 cents, and there is still a surplus
In the 1970s, the state built the Zhiliu Railway from Zhijiang, Hubei to Liuzhou, Guangxi. At that time, the huge road construction army in Shimen, Changde encountered health and medical problems. Thousands of people are engaged in the high-risk job of building roads and bridges across mountains and rivers, while the average health care cost is only 50 cents per person. The Minister of Logistics and Health was very troubled, so Xuan Guowei stepped forward and proposed that builders with primary school education and above receive intensive preliminary training in traditional Chinese medicine, so that they can understand Chinese herbal medicine and know which Chinese herbal medicine can prevent and treat which diseases. Road construction workers are prone to allergic diseases, so these grassroots medical and health backbones are taught to use "autohemotherapy" to combat allergic diseases. The workers' allergic diseases were well controlled by this therapy. Xuan Guowei also took the students up the mountain to collect herbal medicines, telling them the name and function of each herbal medicine, which ones can detoxify and reduce inflammation, which ones can stop bleeding and relieve pain, which ones can reduce phlegm and relieve coughs... As for the treatment of trauma, it is more about Chinese herbal medicine. Featured items. If the wound is infected, clean and disinfect the leaves with boiling water to wrap the herbs. Pick lobelia, honeysuckle and other Chinese herbs that clear away heat and detoxify, wash them, sterilize them with high-temperature boiling water, beat them to pieces, and apply them externally. The pain and swelling subsided quickly, and a large piece of gauze worth two or three cents was saved.
In this way, the health care cost of 5 cents per capita actually still has a surplus in the end.
"This is the wisdom of traditional Chinese medicine, and it is also the survival and life wisdom passed down by the Chinese people over thousands of years. The simplicity of traditional Chinese medicine still has huge advantages today. Massage techniques are zero-cost, and dietary prescriptions with the same source of medicine and food are the cost of living. More. The problem lies in the treatment of some key diseases. After the processing and cultivation of traditional Chinese medicinal materials, especially the introduction of scientific and technological ingredients, the price of medicines has indeed gone up, but the efficacy has also become more certain," Xuan Guowei concluded.
Foreign friends praise "TCM is really magical" for its superb medical skills.
Systemic lupus erythematosus is a typical autoimmune disease and has always been one of the difficult problems in the medical community. Xuan Guowei regards systemic lupus erythematosus as one of his main areas of research and has achieved remarkable results.
In 2009, an 18-year-old female patient named Yu suffered from femoral head necrosis due to long-term hormone therapy in another hospital. After Xuan Guowei's diagnosis and examination, he adopted the method of "nourishing yin, clearing heat, nourishing kidneys and unblocking collaterals", and added Liuwei Dihuang Pills as the basic prescription, and the original hormone therapy was gradually reduced. After half a year, the patient's rash slowly subsided, the symptoms of femoral head necrosis improved, and the patient's condition became stable.
Xuan Guowei’s medical skills are not only famous in China, but also impress foreign friends. A French engineer working at the Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant went to many hospitals in France to cure his 6-year-old son's stubborn eczema, but it was still difficult to cure. After learning that Xuan Guowei was a dermatologist, he took the child to Guangzhou for treatment. Xuan Guowei diagnosed that the child's disease was chronic eczema, which should focus on nourishing the heart and strengthening the spleen, activating blood circulation and dispelling wind. He differentiated and prescribed prescriptions, including internal medicines, external medicines and bath medicines. He also told parents that the child should not eat anything during treatment. Eat seafood, beef, stir-fried, deep-fried, spicy and other allergenic foods. Two months have passed, and the child's eczema has subsided without recurrence, and his skin has returned to normal. The children’s parents couldn’t help but sigh: Chinese medicine is really magical! Incredible!
Behind these miraculous curative effects is Xuan Guowei’s unremitting efforts in medical and scientific research work for more than 60 years. He created a series of prescriptions such as Skin Detoxification Decoction and Ziyin Lupus Recipe, and systematically summarized the "Chinese Medicine Dermatology External Treatment System". He devoted himself to research, edited 11 academic books, presided over 10 scientific research projects and won multiple scientific research awards.
In 2020, when 83-year-old Xuan Guowei walked into the traditional Chinese medicine master’s inheritance studio named after him and was interviewed by Nandu about “innovation and uprightness”, he said: “To stay upright, we must understand TCM thinking, basic theories and TCM classics; innovation "The dosage form of traditional Chinese medicine must be changed to allow patients to more easily obtain the therapeutic effects of traditional Chinese medicine while ensuring the active ingredients of the medicine, and to keep up with the fast-paced modern life." In Xuan Guowei's heart, taking good care of the disease is fundamental. This is the right thing in the eyes of the old man.
Outpatient clinic plus number, sometimes receiving more than 100 patients a day
"A doctor must have benevolence, righteousness and a benevolent heart." This is what Xuan Guowei often talks about. In order not to let patients run away in vain, his outpatient clinic kept increasing the number, and at most he saw more than 100 patients a day; in order to protect the hospital property, he was unfortunately seriously injured and comatose for 7 days. The first words he said when he woke up were, "I'm going to the outpatient clinic today." It’s no longer possible, go and stop the call, don’t let the patient wait in vain..."
In 2020, the then 83-year-old Xuan Guowei still insisted on going out to the clinic six times a week. When patients from other places came to ask him to add a call, he would try his best to satisfy them. "If you leave the patients, you also leave the roots of traditional Chinese medicine. How can you maintain integrity? Innovation becomes a castle in the air."
People who are familiar with Xuan Guowei know that he will carry a small book with a red cover with him. This passage is also what he often tells his students, "When patients come to see a doctor, they are often in a bad mood due to pain and anxiety, especially some elderly people. At this time, doctors need to be extra patient."
"In addition to our daily study In addition to strict requirements, the teacher often tells us to be responsible for every patient and not to do things half-heartedly." Speaking of the teacher's words and deeds, the student said, "Many patients come to see Mr. Xuan, and many of them become him. An old friend. "
" Once, Xuan Guowei accidentally broke his bone. He didn't rest for a few days after the injury, but he insisted on visiting the hospital again. "At that time, the teacher's house did not have an elevator. At first, the teacher's son carried him up and downstairs to work. Later, the teacher gradually became able to walk. Several of us students walked from home on the eighth floor with crutches at around six o'clock every morning. He walked downstairs one step at a time, and sent him home like this at night. Sometimes when the teacher came home at 10 o'clock, he never complained about being tired and kept going to the clinic. Student Li Hongyi was very touched by that past incident.
Diligent in medicine and music, he donated all the 500,000 yuan awarded by the society
A large number of famous traditional Chinese medicine dermatology experts.
"He always tried his best and couldn't wait to impart all the knowledge to us. He constantly taught us by words and deeds, used his own actions to tell us the principles of life, and cultivated our noble medical ethics." The disciples spoke of their mentor with great respect. . Xuan Guowei loves talents and cherishes them. His greatest expectation for his disciples is that their academic level can surpass his own.
Among the many students in Xuan Guowei, there is an international student from Vietnam named Xie Wenping. On the eve of his graduation and return to China, Xuan Guowei presented him with three "treasures": the first was a pen. The pen in a doctor's hand weighs thousands of pounds. It can cure diseases and save people, but it can also mislead people and "kill people", so you must be careful; the second is a pen. The second piece is a tie, which represents a person's image. He must always maintain his benevolence and kindness as a doctor; the third piece is a pair of leather shoes. He must walk the path of life in a down-to-earth manner, act as a human being, avoid falsehood, and be knowledgeable. Take it one step at a time, and don’t seek fame or glitz. These three "treasures" made Xie Wenping unforgettable for the rest of his life. He not only always remembered his mentor's teachings, but also passed on this "secret" to his students.
As a famous Chinese medicine scientist and representative of the Guangdong Provincial People’s Congress, Xuan Guowei is obsessed with the development of traditional Chinese medicine. Together with Deng Tietao and other traditional Chinese medicine masters, he signed the initiative "I recommend Qihuang with my blood" to cultivate talents, explore suitable technologies, increase investment in traditional Chinese medicine medical institutions, and give full play to the role of traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of major infectious diseases. . He donated all the 500,000 yuan awarded by society and established a "TCM Award Fund" in the hospital to reward reserve talents of TCM.
What qualities does it take to become a master of traditional Chinese medicine? Chen Dacan, a disciple of Xuan Guowei for more than 20 years and the former deputy secretary of the party committee and president of the Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, summed it up in one word: "pure" - innocence, purity and purity. A pure ambition to engage in the cause of traditional Chinese medicine all his life, a pure pursuit to reach the peak of medicine, and a pure love of "putting everything at the center of the patient".
