"Even fearless women fear being pestered", thought Charlotte Cooper who, despite her initial refusal to teach her, eventually gave in due to her ilk persistence. Helplessly, she said to Charlotte, "I can teach you some medicine, but whether you can learn or not depends on you."
There is a popular saying on the internet, learning medicine can get you struck by lightning. It stems from the fact that learning medicine is indeed difficult, particularly Chinese medicine, which is even harder than Western medicine, especially for women.
With determination in her eyes, Charlotte said, "Thank you, master. I will study hard and won't let you down!"
Seeing her high spirits, the teacher appeared less tense and said gently: "Don't call me master". Still holding onto the brush-off charm.
Charlotte smiled slightly, "Alright, teacher."
