In the high-altitude landscapes of Qinghai Province, Dr. Gengque Mulan is keeping ancient Tibetan healing traditions alive while fostering community bonds. 🏔️ This 2025, his story continues to inspire as Tibetan medicine – officially recognized as China's national cultural heritage since 2006 – gains renewed global attention.
Born in Yushu Prefecture, Dr. Gengque returned home after university nearly two decades ago, trading city opportunities for grassroots care. By day, he treats patients; by weekend, he journeys to remote pastoral areas offering free clinics. 🚑 'Many villagers can’t reach hospitals,' he explains. 'If the mountain won’t come to us, we go to the mountain.'
Beyond medicine, he’s built bridges through education: founding the Yushu Tibetan Medicine Vocational School and mentoring orphans. 🌟 'Our school isn’t just about herbs and therapies – it’s where different cultures meet,' he says, calling it a 'home for national unity.'
As young professionals increasingly embrace traditional healing sciences, Dr. Gengque’s work proves that ancient wisdom can thrive in modern China – one patient, one student at a time. 💊📚
