Researching traditional medical texts is one of his great loves, particularly The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine. Featured in Bill Moyers' Healing and the Mind Series for his wonderful way of sharing Chinese culture, Wang Jin-Huai is a true master, healer, philosopher and calligrapher. Professor Wang passed away in 2003. He is an incredible spirit, and I am proud and honored that I had the opportunity to be taught by him.
