This is the largest consultation room on the Chinese Navy's "Peace Ark" hospital ship, with approximately 60 square meters and 7 hospital beds. On three medical carts, there are glass jars and moxibustion boxes of all sizes. The air was filled with the burnt aroma of mugwort. 47-year-old Godfrey pulled out the cupping jar and got out of bed, his eyes filled with surprise. That's great! "He thumbed up and said to traditional Chinese medicine doctor Zhang Xuan," Can you help me take another look at this place? I'm in pain and can't walk. "Zhang Xuan also used a silver needle to prick several acupoints for Gotifried. August 22 was the the fourth day day of the Peace Ark's visit to Solomon Islands and medical services. On this day, the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department welcomed the largest daily outpatient volume since the implementation of the "Harmony Mission 2023" mission -97 local people came to admire it. In recent days, the "Ark of Peace" has visited multiple countries. In Tonga, a local elderly woman boarded the "Peace Ark" with a moxibustion box and said, "After waiting for 5 years, I finally came back to you." This moxibustion box was left to her by a Chinese doctor on the "Peace Ark" in 2018. After completing the treatment, traditional Chinese medicine doctor Dong Li gave the old man dozens of moxibustion sticks. In the village of Erak in Vanuatu, 48-year-old resident Corresti has had back pain in the right back for two years. For the first time experiencing traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis and treatment, Corresti looked a bit nervous when he saw the cupping jar in the hand of traditional Chinese medicine doctor Zhao Jing. Zhao Jing smoothly cupped while comforting her softly, "Take it easy." After the cupping was over, Kristi woke up from his sleep with an incredible expression on his face: "It's amazing!" Traditional Chinese medicine is not only popular among the visiting people, but also praised by politicians from many countries. During the "Harmony Mission 2023" mission, traditional Chinese medicine doctor Wang Lina and her colleagues have received President Tanesh Mahmou of Kiribati, King Tupu VI of Tonga, Prime Minister Juan Kawameliku, Prime Minister Karsakau of Vanuatu, Prime Minister Sogavare of Solomon Islands, and hundreds of dignitaries who have come to visit or experience traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis and treatment. In Kiribati, President Ma Mao said after experiencing auricular therapy: "For Kiribati, which is short of doctors and medicines, traditional Chinese medicine is very convenient and we need it very much." In Solomon Islands, Health Minister Togamana commented after visiting traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis and treatment: "Traditional Chinese medicine can also be a part of Solomon Islands medical system." Moxibustion, acupuncture and moxibustion, cupping, scraping Tuina... Rachel Vale, 39, is a female doctor at the Solomon Islands National Referral Hospital. These days, she often comes to the "Peace Ark" and follows Zhang Xuan, learning how to use these small silver needles, transparent glass jars, and moxibustion sticks to treat patients. "If you don't sleep well, you can use acupuncture and moxibustion at Shenmen on your ear; acupuncture and moxibustion and cupping can reduce fever and refresh your mind; and moxibustion is good for your health." Rachel learned very well. In 2022, with the release of China's "14th Five Year Plan for the Development of Traditional Chinese Medicine", traditional Chinese medicine culture has further penetrated into thousands of households and also further spread to various parts of the world. This time, the "Ark of Peace" carries this ancient medical technique across the sea, continuing to sow the seeds of traditional Chinese medicine culture in the South Pacific.
