【Famous Medical Practitioner's Heritage】Chen Qingzhen's Letter of Apprenticeship

Respected Mentor Wu Mingjie:

I, Chen Qingzhen, from Xiangyang, Hubei, had the fortune of meeting you twenty-one years ago. Deeply admiring your profound knowledge of Daoist practices, compassionate medical ethics, and exceptional healing skills, I resolutely chose to follow you. From Guangdong to Guangxi, and then across the ocean to the United States, your tireless guidance and the immersion in Daoist medical culture—especially the boundless "noble spirit" you embody—have consistently enlightened me, feeling as though I were drinking from a wellspring of wisdom. This has not only accompanied me throughout my growth and progress but has also become the most precious spiritual nourishment for my inner world.

The grace of a mentor is as weighty as a mountain and as vast as the sea. Having addressed you as "Master" for over two decades, today I formally request to be accepted as your disciple. It would be my greatest honor and pride to receive your acceptance.

"The path is long and fraught with challenges, and the journey ahead remains extensive." I shall always arm myself with the "Three Oxen Spirit" of our ancestors and sages, motivate myself with the motto of Master Xiao's "Centenarian Wellness Project," and remind myself of the principles of Fengyang Daoist medicine. With unwavering faith, I will maintain high morale, enhance my sense of mission and responsibility, and strive to contribute modestly to the inheritance and promotion of our nation's traditional Chinese medicine culture!

Your devoted disciple,

Chen Qingzhen
