At the recently held 2nd Traditional Chinese Medicine Culture Night Market(Herbal Paste Festival)of Liaoning University of Traditional Chinese Medicine,Lin Xinyan,a doctoral student from Thailand,took pulses and gave massages to patients who came for consultation,achieving her first small goal during her study in China—participating in a free medical consultation.

Lin Xinyan has been connected with traditional Chinese medicine since high school.At that time,her family member suffered from a difficult-to-treat disease.After trying many methods,the conditions did not improve.Later,the family happened to come into contact with traditional Chinese medicine,and the illness was cured in less than half a year."Through this experience,I witnessed the magic of traditional Chinese medicine and decided to learn more about it," Lin Xinyan said.

During her college years,Lin Xinyan studied traditional Chinese medicine in Thailand.However,her exploration of traditional Chinese medicine did not end there.After graduating from university,she came to Liaoning University of Traditional Chinese Medicine to pursue a master's degree.In 2020,Lin Xinyan,who had completed her postgraduate studies,returned to Thailand to work.This year,she resolutely chose to return to Liaoning University of Traditional Chinese Medicine for further studies,delving deeper into the field of acupuncture and massage.

In Lin Xinyan's view,Shenyang is a livable city,where one can not only strive for their dreams but also slow down to experience the local customs and the ancient charm.

Lin Xinyan said,"Shenyang is a very clean and vibrant city.Living and studying here makes me feel extremely happy.My friends and I all love the local cuisine in Shenyang.We often go to have fried pork in scoop and grilled skewers,which are very much to our taste.In our spare time,we also enjoy taking pictures everywhere.Museums,coffee shops and parks are our favorite places to visit.Shenyang's gentle and inclusive nature has enabled me to make friends and learn new cultures,making me feel that I'm not a stranger in a strange land."
