Doctor of a Great Nation

CCTV’s "The Great Physician", live:

Host: Doctor Li, given your experience, what’s the hardest illness to treat? Is it the various kinds of cancer?

Li Chenfeng: No. Poverty is the hardest illness to cure. That’s why, since ancient times, people have said that the highest form of medicine is governing the country.

Host: What are you best at in traditional Chinese medicine?

Li Chenfeng: Would you believe me if I said gynecology? (Laughter.)

In truth, traditional Chinese medicine is a holistic system. If a doctor specializes in just one area, it only shows that they haven’t grasped its essence and wonders.

Host: I haven’t had a chance to congratulate you on receiving the title of “Young Famous Physician.”

Li Chenfeng: Thank you. I’m just standing on the shoulders of giants.
