collective wisdom of the Chinese people, spanning
thousands of years in history, systematic theory, and
rich experience. It is a unique medical system in terms
of disease prevention, cure, and health care.As
technology advances TCM continues to stimulate the
attention of scientists Worldwide. Many countries have
included TCM in their priority projects for
investigation in the new century. TCM may well prove to
be a key to many myths of life. |

TCM has always been well received
and embraced by the general population of China. Despite
the widespread growth of western medicine over the past
one hundred years, medicine in the Chinese countryside
is still dominated by the practice of TCM, particularly
in treating chronic and difficult to treat disease. The
traditional Chinese way of cure has demonstrated the
vitality of Chinese medicine.

Dr. Cui Yueli dedicated his life to
the heritage and development of TCM, and
aimed to spread it globally even during the years when
TCM was neglected. During his term as Minister of Health
he obtained and invested hundreds of millions of Chinese
dollars to promote the traditional medicine network
across China. Within a 2-year period early in his
ministry, Dr. Cui engineered the expansion of
traditional clinics from one hundred to more than one
thousand. He traveled tens of thousand of miles to visit
national minorities with the intent to save and develop
their traditional medicines. He insisted that an
authentic and systematic education of TCM should be
passed on to the younger doctors. He supported the
scientific research on Chinese herbal medicine and urged
these doctors to learn from their medical counterparts
from other countries. His ultimate wish was to inherit
and develop Chinese herbal medicine in an overall
systemic and scientific way, so that Chinese medicine
could assume a leadership role in the World.

| Compilation of the “Chinese
Medicine Classic Series” is the one of the main tasks
of the Center. This series written in modern simplified
Chinese will contain over 30 million characters and will
be gradually translated into English and other
languages. This series consists of the original classics
in TCM, which will be used to train quality physicians.
Eventually it will spread Worldwide. This project is
enormous and will prove to be beneficial to China as
well as to the World. Dr. Cui Planned and organized this
project himself and set about in 1997 to achieve his
goal. His untimely death in 1998 left the project
unfinished. The project is now for us to achieve.
