Members of Zhangyi Shi’s Honors Chinese IV class learned firsthand about traditional Chinese medicine from guest speaker Dr. Huiwen Liu. Dr. Liu, who practices in Glen Allen, Virginia, engaged students with a hands-on presentation of Chinese medication treatment.
From various herbs to acupuncture needles to pressurized cups to stones, Dr. Liu articulated the importance of Chinese medicine in ancient Chinese history, as well as today. Her presentation offered the class an opportunity to further immerse themselves in Chinese culture as they prepare for AP Chinese next year.
