Prihardinni, from the Indonesian city of Surabaya, is amazed at how traditional Chinese medicine
(TCM 中医 ) has continued to develop since she began studying it a year ago.
When Prihardinni was 10 years old, she suffered from serious headaches. So, her mother took her
to see a TCM doctor near their home. The doctor checked her pulse, examined her face and tongue,
and wrote down a prescription ( 处方 ). After several weeks of drinking Chinese medicine, she didn’t
have headaches any more.
“His medical skills were like magic,” Prihardinni recalled. The experience of being cured by TCM
impressed her and it encouraged her to choose TCM study. Now, she is a freshman at the Gansu University
of Chinese Medicine, which has thousands of years of history and widespread international popularity.
“TCM is becoming more and more popular worldwide and has become an important cultural
symbol ( 象征 ) for China,” said Zhao Zhongting, a professor at the Gansu University of Chinese
Medicine. “Many foreign students face diffi culties in fully understanding the meaning and function of
TCM medical terms because of cultural and language barriers,” Zhao said, adding that in order to help
them, the university offers various training courses for freshmen, including chemistry, language study
and Chinese medicine culture. Activities between local and international students, lectures and study
tours are also provided to help students better understand the courses.
“More people in my country are becoming interested in TCM. Many social media ( 媒体 ) are
sharing their experiences with Chinese medicine,” Prihardinni said, adding that she plans to return to
her hometown after graduation and open a TCM clinic ( 诊所 ). “I want to tell my parents and friends
