【Explanation】Take needles, find acupoints, and insert needles. In the Second Affiliated Hospital of Shaanxi University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Muhammad Liu Shilin expertly performed acupuncture treatment on a patient.

Mohamed Liu Shilin is an international student from Kazakhstan. His Chinese name is Li Endian. He is a graduate student of Shaanxi University of Traditional Chinese Medicine in acupuncture and massage.

In order to learn acupuncture, moxibustion and massage, Li Endian began internships in the hospital during his freshman year, trying to figure out the doctor's techniques every day. When encountering difficulties, he would often learn until two or three in the morning, which was especially difficult.

  My learning difficulties were when I was in my freshman and sophomore years. At that time, the teacher was unable to keep up with the lectures (I). I felt very hard to study. Then I started to talk to my teacher, which is now my instructor. He just insisted , I have been telling me to persist, and since the freshman year, I have told me to persist, because the path of studying medicine is particularly difficult, so I listen to him slowly. Under his cultivation, I slowly make great progress day by day.

  [Explanation] With the in-depth study of Chinese medicine, Li Endian often participates in some Chinese medicine skill competitions with the help of his teacher. Medals are hung on the wall of his bedroom.

At the same time, various honor certificates are also full of his drawers, such as "Outstanding Graduates" and "Best Performance Awards".

However, the diligent and studious Li Endian is just a microcosm of many international students.

  In recent years, the traditional medical service trade of countries along the “Belt and Road” has quietly risen and formed a certain scale.

With the advancement of foreign exchanges and cooperation in Chinese medicine, the concept of Chinese medicine is increasingly recognized by the international community.

At the same time, it is also attracting more and more international students to study medicine in China.

At present, Shaanxi University of Traditional Chinese Medicine has 112 international students from 16 countries including Kazakhstan, Pakistan, and Belarus. They are mainly distributed in the school's acupuncture and massage, Chinese medicine and clinical medicine.

  These students are also relatively good in learning. After they have studied, many go back to their countries and they are more outstanding doctors. After they go back, they use the techniques of Chinese medicine to serve the people in their countries. Again, these students are more diligent and study more. Hard work, so in practice, they have relatively strong operational capabilities.

  [Commentary] Li Endian told reporters that in a few years, he will continue to take doctoral exams and go home after graduation.

The people in my hometown have a high degree of recognition of acupuncture and massage, and I want to use the traditional Chinese medicine skills I have learned to benefit the people in my hometown.

It is understood that since the 1980s, Shaanxi University of Traditional Chinese Medicine began accepting overseas students and has successively trained more than 3,000 Chinese medicine talents for more than 30 countries and regions around the world.
