Chapter 122 Observing the Two Extremes of Human Nature in the Streets
1. The noise attracted a crowd to the neighborhood.
Two groups of people were locked in a fierce standoff in front of the clinic, neither willing to back down, and the ear-piercing noise of their argument carried outwards along the street.
Pedestrians hurrying along the street stopped in their tracks upon hearing the commotion, craning their necks and peering intently towards the clinic's entrance.
The old neighbors living in the surrounding streets and alleys, as well as ordinary people returning home from grocery shopping, all rushed over upon hearing the sound.
In no time, the clinic's street-facing entrance was surrounded by layers upon layers of people, with a dense crowd filling the entire street.
Passersby on the periphery of the crowd stood on tiptoe, leaned forward slightly, and kept turning their eyes left and right, carefully observing the two groups of people confronting each other in front of the door.
The familiar neighbors huddled together, whispering among themselves about the ins and outs of the conflict.
The scene was noisy and chaotic, with voices rising and falling, and all sorts of expressions appearing on the faces of ordinary people.
The world is inherently balanced by yin and yang, and the human heart is also divided into good and evil, light and darkness. At this moment, all aspects of human life are clearly laid out before everyone's eyes.
Among the crowd, someone frowned deeply, looking worried, and kept shaking his head and sighing as he watched the group of doctors who had come to cause trouble.
Some people crossed their arms, looking on with an air of detached indifference, a hint of amusement playing on their lips.
Some of the people who had received his kindness looked sincere and earnest, their eyes filled with gratitude, silently remembering all the good deeds and acts of saving lives that Chen Shanhe had done in his daily life.
The diverse passersby, each with their own thoughts and feelings, vividly portray the most authentic aspects of human life without needing to elaborate on their words.
What was originally just a minor dispute between competitors over interests and a brawl at the gate has now attracted the attention of the entire city.
This whole affair is no longer a simple industry dispute; it involves the intertwining of various human emotions, and the offline public opinion storm has quietly taken root and slowly fermented.
Who is kind-hearted and upholds the right path, and who is selfish, greedy, and causes trouble for no reason—no need for others to say more, everyone carries their own scale of fairness in their heart.
The distinct stances of people's hearts, amidst the noisy and chaotic crowd, quietly divide into two completely different camps, yin and yang, naturally opposed.
As evidenced by the poem
A commotion arose in front of the clinic.
Neighbors gathered to watch the spectacle.
Human nature is a complex mix of light and darkness.
The two aspects of Yin and Yang are commonplace.
II. The people who are grateful help each other
Among the crowd, several elderly residents with gray hair were the first to squeeze out.
They walked steadily to the front, their backs straight, their faces full of righteousness, blocking the way in front of the clinic.
An elderly woman with white hair, her eyes slightly moist, raised her trembling hand and pointed at the group of doctors causing trouble, speaking loudly.
"Where is your conscience?! What has the Divine Physician of the Mountains and Rivers ever done to wrong you?!"
A simple old man from the countryside gripped the cloth bag in his hand, his face righteous and stern, and loudly retorted.
"My husband has suffered from a chronic illness for many years and couldn't afford medicine. It was Dr. Chen who treated him for free, without charging a single penny!"
"They even subsidized the medicinal herbs out of their own pockets, never taking a single penny more than what we poor people earn from their hard-earned money!"
A middle-aged man, his face earnest, stepped forward and spoke in a loud, clear voice.
"Since this clinic opened, countless poor families in the surrounding area have benefited from its kindness!"
"We don't charge for outpatient services during the cold season; we only charge ordinary families the cost of the medicine. All the hefty fees from wealthy families will be used to help the poor!"
"How many doctors with such a compassionate heart can one find in this world? What right do you have to come here and maliciously make things difficult for us!"
The people who had received the favors stepped forward one after another, each speaking from the bottom of their hearts.
Everyone spoke of good deeds they had personally experienced, their expressions sincere, their eyes filled with gratitude.
They stood side by side, protecting Chen Shanhe and his group, facing the troublemakers in front of them.
They wholeheartedly support and stand up for the enemy, unafraid of their numerical superiority, upright and righteous, their spirit never fading.
As evidenced by the poem
Kindness and good deeds warm all directions.
People from poor families remember the deep affection.
Standing up in times of crisis demonstrates one's resolve.
Be grateful and protect each other; uphold virtue and goodness.
Third, narrow-minded idlers make sour remarks.
While everyone on this side was genuinely supporting and helping each other, a few narrow-minded idlers stepped out from the other side of the crowd.
They crossed their arms, their lips curled into a sneer, their faces full of sarcastic mockery.
A middle-aged man glanced at the clinic with disdain, and spoke with a sour tone.
"They're very capable, they have special connections that allow them to easily make a lot of money, so naturally they don't need to worry about the cost of medicine!"
An idle woman pursed her lips, her eyes filled with envy and jealousy, shaking her head repeatedly and whispering sarcasm.
"If someone has money, they pretend to be kind and do good deeds, offering affordable medical care and helping the poor every day. Isn't that just showing off their wealth?"
"They're deliberately putting on this act to grab attention, pretending to be a nice guy, but it's all just a show behind the scenes!"
Some people frowned, their faces full of resentment, and immediately began to make unreasonable moral blackmail.
"You have money to help other poor people, so why can't you help those of us who are struggling to make ends meet?"
"True kindness lies in helping everyone; selectively helping only those in need is just putting on a show!"
This group of people are narrow-minded and selfish; they cannot understand pure kindness and only make malicious assumptions about people's hearts.
They are unwilling to do good deeds themselves, and cannot bear to see others doing good with a kind heart, so they wantonly smear and criticize them.
His face was full of frivolous looks, as if he enjoyed watching the drama unfold. Every word he uttered was sarcastic and cold, chilling the hearts of good people.
The dark and selfish side of human nature is now completely exposed to the light of day.
As evidenced by the poem
Narrow-minded and jealous, he made sour remarks.
To speculate wildly about good deeds is to engage in empty and absurd discussions.
Selfish and lacking in compassion
His words are cold-hearted and full of gossip.
IV. The Yin and Yang poles are in chaos and turmoil.
The neighbors, deeply grateful for Chen Shanhe's kindness, spoke with utmost sincerity and candor, recounting his many acts of compassion and kindness in practicing medicine and helping others.
Those narrow-minded, envious passersby kept spouting sarcastic remarks, making malicious speculations and baseless smears, each sentence a baseless and unfounded criticism.
The two groups stood face to face on the street, arguing loudly and refusing to back down, their voices growing louder and louder as they argued. The argument quickly escalated into a full-blown argument.
On one side is the warm and kind heart that knows gratitude and upholds righteousness; on the other side is the dark and evil mind that is selfish, narrow-minded, jealous, and resentful. The two opposing forces of yin and yang represent the most fundamental laws of the world.
Some people wholeheartedly protected the kind-hearted doctors who upheld their principles, while others followed suit, wantonly smearing and slandering them. The hearts of the onlookers were completely divided on the spot, splitting into two distinct extremes.
The two sides have very distinct positions, with no room for compromise or reconciliation. Neither side is willing to back down even a little, and neither side is willing to agree with the other's thoughts and words from the bottom of their hearts.
Su Wan stood quietly beside Chen Shanhe, watching the noisy and chaotic crowd on the street, each holding their own opinion. A trace of helplessness and emotion slowly rose in her clear eyes.
Murong Fangxiang calmly surveyed the polarized onlookers, her mind clear and insightful, having long seen through the unpredictable nature of human hearts and the stark contrast between good and evil in this world.
The world is inherently a balance of yin and yang, which is called the Way. The human heart has its own good and evil, light and darkness. The thoughts and intentions of each person are inherently different, and it is never possible for everyone to be of one mind and have the same ideas.
The verbal disputes on the streets escalated and spread, with a cacophony of rumors and gossip, leaving the entire area in chaos and unable to calm down for a long time.
Some mischievous individuals in the crowd quietly took out their phones and silently captured the scene of the two sides arguing and confronting each other, then edited the content and uploaded it to various online platforms.
No one could have predicted that this small street squabble and offline argument would soon spread across the internet and create a massive upheaval.
The interplay between good and evil, and the struggle between yin and yang, continues unabated. A larger upheaval, sweeping across both online and offline worlds, is quietly brewing in the shadows, waiting for the opportune moment to erupt.
As evidenced by the poem
People's hearts are at opposite ends of the spectrum.
Yin and Yang are contradictory and incompatible.
Street disturbances and rumors arose.
They subtly lured the trouble into the net.
