Chinese Medicine Master

One-Hour HD Documentary (2013)

American medical doctor, Andrew Cunningham, travels to the “Silicon Valley” of the Chinese Medical field in Anhui Province to meet a nationally recognized “Heir to Chinese Medicine,” Master Li Jiren. Master Li mainly learned under the tutelage of Master Zhang Yitie who is the 13th generation of long family lineage of Chinese masters. He married Zhang Yitie’s daughter, also a Chinese medicine practitioner. Master Li’s children are doctors too, creating the 15th generation of the most famous family in the medical field in Anhui Province, China.

Master Li teaches Andrew about Chinese diagnostic techniques including pulse diagnosis and observation of the tongue. Andrew also learns about different treatment plans that include acupuncture, “cupping”, and medicinal herbs from Master Li.

On this trip, Andrew also visits herb shops, eats local cuisine including “Stinky Fish”, and visits the ancient town of Huizhou which is a thousand years old.Traditional Chinese medicine has existed for over 2000 years. It is still very popular among the people of China and is starting to catch on in the Integrative Health field of the United States. By the end of the journey, the secrets and traditions of Chinese medicine become demystified.
