Jiang Hao walked to the blackboard and wrote the English word "Meridian." Turning to the students, he said, "This word means meridians. To explain this clearly would involve many theories, such as Traditional Chinese Medicine and the study of yin and yang. It is, in itself, a very complex field."
"I'll explain it with a simple theory. Meridians are a general term for the main channels and collateral channels. They are pathways through which qi and blood circulate throughout the body, connecting the inside and outside, upper and lower parts of the human body, and sensing and transmitting information. But meridians cannot be found through anatomical dissection, so many people believe they do not exist and are pseudoscience."
"Yet acupuncture exists based on meridian theory, giving it a concrete form. By applying certain stimulation to acupoints, acupuncture activates the body's latent functions, energizes its functional systems, and exerts powerful regulatory effects to treat illness. Simply put, it activates your own abilities to fight disease."
"Perhaps many of you still do not understand, because all of this remains based on an invisible, intangible hypothesis. So now, I'll demonstrate the existence of acupoints."
Jiang Hao turned to Calvin with a warm smile. But when Calvin saw Jiang Hao's smile, he involuntarily shuddered. "Professor, I actually believe mysticism exists. As for Traditional Chinese Medicine acupuncture, many experts have acknowledged it too, I think."
"Don't you think experience is life's greatest pursuit and pleasure? Of course, if you're unwilling, I can choose someone else." Jiang Hao certainly could not force someone to take part in an experiment.
As soon as Jiang Hao said that, many students below began shouting, "Calvin, if you don't want to do it, let me take your place."
"Calvin, are you a coward?"
"Where did that courage from earlier go?"
