This free clinic starts from January 16th and ends on January 21st.
Tu Jinzhi said that people on and off the island who are troubled by low back and leg pain, arthritis, gout and other diseases can go to the Meizhou Mazu Temple Health Center for free treatment.
It has only been two months since the last free clinic. Why did the elderly Chinese medicine doctor go to Meizhou Island for free clinic again?
He said that the free clinic is to practice Mazu’s spirit of “morality, charity, and universal love” and to spread Mazu culture.
"Humans and gods share the same origin" on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. There are as many as 16 million Mazu admirers in Taiwan, accounting for two-thirds of Taiwan's population. Tu Jinzhi is one of the devout Mazu admirers.
In Tu Jinzhi's heart, he yearns for Mazu's "natal home" - the Meizhou Mazu Ancestral Temple, and hopes to use his medical skills to check the pulse of the residents of Meizhou Island.
At the free clinic, Tu Jinzhi brought homemade plaster.
After years of exploration, he developed multiple series of soup pastes and tablet pastes based on improved ancient formulas.
These soups and ointments, supplemented by his unique techniques, have obvious effects on unblocking meridians, treating bone injuries, clearing skin, promoting blood circulation and promoting muscle growth.
"All the medicines are made from herbs and are very safe."
"Traditional Chinese medicine is the root of the survival and reproduction of the Chinese nation." Tu Jinzhi said that the Tu family's bone-setting medical skills are inherited from ancestors.
During the Qing Dynasty, his great-grandfather went to the southern Shaolin Temple in mainland China to study art, and later brought Chinese bone-setting medicine to Taiwan and opened a clinic to teach students.
“Inheriting the quintessence of traditional Chinese medicine from generation to generation, we hope to treat more patients through traditional Chinese medicine and help them stay away from pain.”
Adhering to the great love spirit of treating illnesses and saving lives, and selfless dedication, he has come to the mainland for free clinics many times.
According to the relevant person in charge of the Meizhou Mazu Temple, Tu Jinzhi has been to Meizhou Island for free clinics more than ten times since 2015; in 2019, he was awarded the title of "Fujian Province Five-Star Volunteer" as a volunteer at the Meizhou Mazu Temple. ".
As Tu Jinzhi's "old partner", the 83-year-old honorary chairman of Meizhou Mazu Temple and chairman of Ciming Palace in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, Huang Tucheng once again accompanied Tu Jinzhi to Meizhou Island for a free clinic.
He said that through free clinics, compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait have become closer and closer.
Currently, Fujian is promoting the integrated development of Fujian and Taiwan across the region.
Huang Tucheng believes that more cultural and religious non-governmental exchange activities in Fujian and Taiwan can make compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait closer and more affectionate.
