About the book >.>.> Ever since I can remember I was destined to be an acupuncturist. When I was young all our family lived together in a typical Chinese house laid out around a big traditional rectangular courtyard and I still have memo ries of my grandfather pacing up and down in front of his surgery when treating particularly difficult cases saying to himself over and over again “We must seek out the root.” Back then we all had the greatest respect for grandfather and would not dare to ask him just what he meant by this. Only years later as I began my training did the full meaning of these words come home to me. Life revolved around the surgery which meant that we always had visitors to our house. Rich or poor scholars or peasants they all benefited from my grandfather’s prowess irrespective of their wealth or status. Behind his austere exterior he was obviously fired by a passion for his chosen profession and compassion for those requiring his intervention to recover their health qualities which he passed on to my father. It was probably this that awakened my passion and enthusiasm for medicine the feeling of vocation without which no medical practitioner can fully realize his or her potential. By then of course it was expected that I would carry on the family tradition but it was with joy in my heart that I went off to further my acupuncture studies at the South China Acupuncture Training College.
