My family lives in a small village in the hills of western Henan, Wu peoples liberation where dozens of families lived hundreds of mouth. My childhood has not formed the concept of disease. Just listen to the villagers to small disaster minor headache and slight fever known as "no", who is not affected by the " ", to find Haruki the elderly a single law what put. The front yard kept woman will prick scalp cupping to cure headache, I had to cut the belly cupping therapy "wool furuncle" (a fever disease), the Xiang Cun Xi tou milk, "God will give children". "What's the etiquette, village tertiary to rub his belly cure stomach pain, dyspepsia, also heard that my three master will mystify, for people to see" evil "disease, also known, there are people from afar to hold tall and strong to please him. My great grandfather Wu Guangxiang (line two) read through medical, semi medicine, can give a person the prescribing doctor, but he died at the age of 65, no occupation doctor in the village. It is rare to hear someone out of the village to see the doctor. I'm three lonely baby home, "without " also is in the home to use single method put cure, what virgate wormwood puree body rubbing, onion puree rub foot heart, cut the belly cupping, drinking reed root, root, leaf water, eat Salsola burning ash the utility model in my memory has been used. It is not only to outside the village to see the doctor. 50's my 85 year old grandmother, 50 year old master, and 73 year old grandmother has sick, is a doctor at home have seen just die in one's bed. 60 years, my uncle, who has abdominal pain, acid regurgitation, is Chinese medicine called "liver" disease (now is the common 12 stomach duodenum ulcer), are also a single method put cure, what to eat dry Stir-Fried Noodles with Vegetables dumpling, drink water, eat "Wei Bao" alkaline, or soda powder, soda tablets... See less of him to see a doctor. I remember a time when he heard that there was a good doctor Bei Xiang, aunt as he had baked bun oil, for the preparation, the day is not bright, dragged and half legs off, two head day and night, after midnight to get back home. Everyone in the family to be always on tenterhooks, he said he was "ghost " lost, but in the field such as sleep, awake to get back home, the family for him to break into a sweat with fright, and admire his courage. After that, he put the matter more than once. In field edge of a field, be full of sound and colour, hit off narrative, won the young male praise. In the end the disease is not cured, eventually died in October 14, 1962 before long-term blood in the stool for several months. My father and uncle at the age of four small, thin body, but haven't heard usually have what disease, 1962 spring, life difficult times, just had a "fever" disease (diagnosis) better of him, and sudden abdominal pain, the brigade and the commune health doctor, do not treat dead, dying have not had time to leave a word or two family. I do the doctor that he had merely strangulated hernia, in the economically backward and lack of time, a quack misdiagnosis and mistreatment of death! Too late to regret. My uncle passed away early in the first half of the year, at the age of 54. Lost the two pillar of the family, almost collapsed, his three (I 19, 15 younger brother, sister 10 years old) only in nearly 60 years old aunt and mother care under and by virtue of the production team and their collective power to help struggling. I graduated from high school in 1963, with the memory of two relatives and regret, enter oneself for an examination the medical professional, have a chance to enter the sacred medicine portal.
