你先别激动，卫生部已经明确声明，绝对不会取消中医，社会舆论也强烈谴责了这个偏激的签名活动。不过现在中医在国内的状况的确并不乐观。据一项针对14000多人的调查显示，有百分之八十七以上的人表示自己“相信中医”，可是只有百分之二十七左右的人声称，“如果生了病，愿意首先看中医”。

Don't get so excited. The Ministry of Health has already clearly stated that it absolutely will not abolish Chinese medicine. Public opinion has also harshly criticized this extreme petition.

But only about 27% of people said that ''If I got sick, my first choice would be Chinese Medicine."
