What you see in the four words "Xinglin Chewing Roots" is not a profound medical classic, nor is it a fashionable maxim.

What is recorded is not the suffering of a certain patient, but the "diseases of the times" that our hospital—and all the souls that breathe, struggle, and shine in it—suffer from and heal together.
