When it comes to medicine in China, the situation is frustrating and deeply flawed. There are two types of medicine available: imitated medicine and original, patent-designed medicine. Due to limited funds for medical care, hospitals often rely heavily on imitated drugs produced by local factories. These drugs are cheaper, but they are also less effective—and in some cases, practically useless. If you truly want effective treatment, you must purchase the original medicine out of your own pocket. These are not covered by medical insurance and can be prohibitively expensive. For instance, I spend over 1,000 yuan (around $150) each month on original medicine, a financial burden that many people simply cannot bear. What frustrates me even more is how some intellectuals, professors, and professionals defend this flawed system. They argue, often dishonestly, that imitation medicine is just as effective as the original. I see this as a betrayal of integrity—a way to protect their own interests because they benefit from the system. Their so-called “arguments” are not born of honesty but of self-preservation. They are complicit in maintaining a system that harms ordinary people, and I find their stance deeply unethical. However, I have no desire to engage with these individuals on Chinese social media. The discourse there often devolves into toxic arguments that lead nowhere. Instead, I prefer to express myself in English, where I feel freer to articulate my thoughts. It’s a quieter, more rational space for reflection. I find inspiration in figures like Hua Zong, a well-known intellectual in China who writes most of his thoughts in English. By doing so, he avoids unnecessary debates while still making his voice heard. I understand his approach and aim to follow a similar path. Writing in English also allows me to take advantage of tools like AI, which can refine and polish my words into a professional, advanced style. In this way, English becomes not only a means of self-expression but also a way to reclaim my voice in a system that often silences dissent.
