"My Plead to save mother from Cancer"
(Taken from the Cancer Terminator Book)

That was at my age of 18 when I was undergoing practical training at the Liu Dao Gou Health Clinic in Tong Hua City in the capacity as an intern in a medical institute.

One day, there came a child, a young lady of about 13, whose mother was admitted to the hospital due to cancer. When I passed by the entrance of the ward, she suddenly knelt down before my feet, crying, "Doctor, please save my mother. I beg you save her please."

At the moment, I was wearing white, and perhaps that was how I was mistaken to be a doctor. I was, however, only a medical intern, a young fellow who could not even dare to claim to be a doctor. Yet, I gathered that it was entirely impossible to help this mother from suffering the final stage of the disease.

"I shall somehow be a doctor in the future, I must help her. This is my mission", I thought. Yet to deal with such a disease as cancer, I did not even have the courage to fight against it during this time.

Eventually, in a week's time, the mother died. One day in October 1972, I cursed myself for my own incapability. I felt ashamed of not being able to wipe the teardrops of the young lady.

Then on that day, I swore, "I must not allow anyone to suffer from such a painful feeling, nor the sadness a daughter feels when she loses her parents, or when a family loses a relative."

This was how my combat against cancer began.

Born in the home land of Chinese herbal medicines

Very long time ago in China, China prescriptions were used to cure various diseases. The mysterious power of medicated herbs, by naturally nourishing Chinese prescriptions, may restore normal health to the body entirely, rather than partially, as against a disease, which even chemotreatments regard as incurable. This is the tradition of Chinese prescriptions.

Since the day in October 1972, I had been thinking of a Chinese-prescription based medicine to fight against cancer. I was thinking in such a way because I have been more familiar with Chinese prescriptions than anyone else since my young age.

I was born in a small village known as Gong Yi Village in a dale in the suburbs of Tong Hua City in Jilin Province in the north eastern part of China. There were eight members in our family who was living a poor life. Not only was I required to take responsibility for the subsistence of the family, but I also had to earn even my own school fees since primary classes.

To a young child, there was no easy job which could earn some money. Fortunately, my home village was in the hilly ranges among one of the best known "treasures of herbs" near Changbaishan which was the "home land of Chinese prescriptions" with an abundance of good quality natural herbs.

In my childhood, I found myself mixed amongst adults picking Chinese herbs daily for touting in the street, hoping for a good sale. It was not long before I could distinguish a hundred of herbs, in no way worse off to an adult. The praise my parents gave me became the only meaning of survival in my livelihood.

However, I sometimes felt a sense of conflict even at this young age as mine.

Indeed, the herbs which I picked could be sold at good prices, fulfilling not only what was required for living but also gaining praise from my parents.

I was always thinking, "In the end of the day, I may use the herbs which I myself picked to cure no matter what disease my villagers may have. Then I shall become a doctor to save this village."


The early Chinese Medicines

After graduation from early secondary education, I worked as an employee for the Peoples Government, rearing pigs in a village in my homeland.

Even though I had my job, my interest in herbal medicines increased rather than declined. I spent a portion of my first salary to buy a pictorial herbal book, starting to learn dispensing on my own bit by bit.

From quite a number of medicated herbs, I selected out those which could reduce bodily illness and placed them separately in small bits into glass bottles and then mixed them together.

After termination of the pig-rearing work, I returned to my house with only two rooms, diligently making Chinese medicines on my own, without regard to the criticism of my parents and brothers.

On the other hand, it was quite helpless that the herbal medicines, of which even I myself did not know of the effectiveness, were regarded as like playing games. "Could the herbal medicines and Chinese prescriptions boiled out by me really reduce illness or cure the disease like the information given in the books?

I always asked myself like this. But apart from that, I had no other ways.

By that time, there were a few old men in the village who could not work on suffering from bronchitis.

I specially boiled and made a Chinese prescription for bronchitis for them. The result was unexpectedly good. While being privately pleased with astonishment, I was a little bit proud of myself at that moment.

When diarrhea was widespread in the village, it was treated in the same way. After I had cured almost every one in the village with the herbal medicine I boiled, the pride turned into immense hope.

I thought, "Now is the best chance to consummate my wish of my young age."


Combating against Cancer

I was an assistant to an animal doctor at my age of 16, well versed with a lot of herbal knowledge. I started to learn acupuncture an moxibustion and was quite clear about my future hope and dream.

"There seems to be a good young person in Gong Yi Village who is very diligent in his studies."

I hope that acupuncture and moxibustion might also help the village people a bit, apart from Chinese prescription. By that time, the president of the Health Bureau of the Chinese People's Commune heard about my incidents. I started my first step as a physician in the capacity of an intern.

At this place, I learned not only Dong Liu medicine (which in China was known as Sino-medicines, Chinese medicines or Chinese medical prescriptions) but also western medical science. Somewhat later, a medical school (Jilin Province Tong Hua City Health School) was set up in my home land of Tong Hua city. I was admitted to this school under the premise of serving as a physician in the village in which one was brought up.

The study period was for two years. The first year passed so quickly as a blink of an eye. I strive hard to learn, hoping desperately to become a physician to serve my village at an early time.

It was during my period of intern on assignment to this hospital that I met the incident which I mentioned earlier ("My Plead to save mother from Cancer"). It was in October in 1972 when I personally saw the sad separation of the mother from the daughter.

Had I been brought up in advanced education since my young age, perhaps I would not have thought of such a ridiculous matter. It was purely because I did not realize the horror and persistence of cancer that I had the courage to challenge it, combating against it bravely.

"There are over thirty million people in the world suffering from cancer. In each year, early seven million people die of it, or a person in every six seconds."

Had I known this fact, I would not have boldly said, "I have to defeat cancer"! Anyway, I had made up mind to "cure cancer with Chinese prescriptions which I am familiar with and which are from the tradition of China." Therefore when I was a village physician, I was still in the midst of struggling with cancer.

First of all, I visited the physicians in the cancer curing task groups formed up amongst civil communities.
