Features: In January 2006, a letter sent from San Francisco, USA, crossed the Pacific and reached its destination—the China Medical Program Team of China Central Television (CCTV). "I am a Chinese living in San Francisco, USA. The China Medical Program on CCTV is favored by us overseas Chinese and Chinese Americans. We must watch this program every week and feel proud that the vast culture of the Chinese nation is spreading overseas. In today's America, both the medical community and ordinary Americans are increasingly experiencing the miraculous charm of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and Chinese herbal medicine. We unanimously hope that the two special programs 'My Health, My Choice' broadcast by your program in the New Year can be rebroadcast, and it would be best if you could help us send the program DVDs." For the entire China Medical Program Team, every time they receive such letters, they feel immense comfort. The enthusiasm and affection of the audience have always been the important spiritual support for our work. "I am truly fortunate to obtain the necessary treatment information from the China Medical Program. I am like seeing the light of dawn in the despairing darkness and have regained hope. The China Medical Program hosted by Ms. Hong Tao is indeed a lifesaver, and we have benefited greatly from it. We are deeply grateful." A long-time Australian friend, who regained health after contacting a renowned doctor with the help of the China Medical Program, shared his heartfelt feelings, which further strengthened our sense of responsibility as messengers of health. Nearly nine years after the launch of the China Medical Program, the number of calls and letters received from the audience has long been uncountable. We only remember that we have replied to over 70,000 letters from both domestic and overseas, made nearly 200,000 phone calls, and received nearly 30,000 emails. It is precisely because of the care, support, and affection of the numerous domestic and overseas audiences that the program's creators have been able to overcome various difficulties, work tirelessly, and focus on producing programs with the desire to repay the audience. The awards won, such as the first prize in the "China Rainbow Award" (government award) for programs and the "Outstanding Collective in the News Promotion Campaign Against SARS," are the result of the hard work of all the program staff. Traditional Chinese medicine is the great wisdom of the Chinese nation. Among the treasures of Chinese civilization universally recognized by countries around the world, traditional Chinese medicine may be one of the most classic. The China Medical Program spreads this medical achievement that everyone can directly experience, feel, and witness to audiences both at home and abroad, reflecting the cultural heritage of the Chinese nation over 5,000 years. It holds great human and global significance because health is needed by all people in all countries. Especially for the 50 million overseas Chinese and Chinese Americans, TCM and Chinese herbal medicine have an extremely strong ethnic affinity and cultural cohesion. In this era of rapid information transmission, the China Medical Program covers almost all the latest clinical achievements and practical health information in the field of TCM. However, it is concerning that some people, in pursuit of commercial profits, distort facts and convey information without scientific basis, confusing public perception and misleading people. Since its inception, the program has always adhered to a rigorous and responsible attitude in disseminating authoritative health information on TCM and Chinese herbal medicine, presenting professional medical knowledge in an easy-to-understand and accessible manner, playing an important role and social influence in the field of traditional Chinese medicine communication. Due to the strong traditional cultural color and practical social significance of the China Medical Program, the audience's affection for it has grown deeper with the program's growth. In various parts of the world where the Chinese Central Television Chinese International Channel can be received, the China Medical Program not only provides authoritative health information services to the audience but also serves as a "vivid teaching material" for many TCM practitioners, becoming one of the most popular and closely watched programs among overseas Chinese and Chinese Americans. We believe that the degree to which one grasps health is proportional to the correct health knowledge one possesses. Every individual should not only achieve longevity but also live healthily and happily, maintaining a healthy and high-quality lifestyle until the very end of their life. It is precisely out of this shared aspiration and eternal dream that the audience has come to regard the China Medical Program as their most trusted health guide in life. Health is not far from us. Mastering correct health knowledge and taking action is the way to achieve health. In response to the demands of the audience, we have launched this series of books based on the China Medical Program with the support and cooperation of Shanghai Science and Technology Literature Publishing House. We hope that through watching and reading the China Medical Program, the audience and readers can make their own and their families' bodies healthier.
