I. House Resident Zheng Wang

Chinese Doctor Recalls Struggle There is a feeling of being at ease about Zheng Wang, an International House resident for the past year and a half, that

belies her life as a doctor in the People’s Republic of China. She freely tells about the hardships of being a “barefoot doctor” during the Chinese cultural revolution and the difficulty of mastering both traditional Chinese and western medicine. Yet even after living in New York where “everything seems so strange,” she considers herself lucky. Indeed her first introduction to medicine was unlikely. Leaders of the cultural revolution had relocated one of the four great masters of Chinese medicine, Kong

Hua,

.near

Wang’s

home.

Through a family connection, the young woman, soon began to study secretly under the doctor who had been forbidden to teach. She took to her studies with determination.

“When I was not with him I would read medical books from morning to night,” Wang says. “For a whole year I just read, read, read.” By 1969, however, the revolution had become more severe and Wang’s prominent family was torn apart. Her father was thrown in jail, her brothers and sisters deported to villages throughout the country. Wang was sent to a collective farm of about 800 peasants in Heilongjang Province in northeastern China. Life on the farm was hard. There was no electricity, no proper heating and little rest from work in the sweltering fields. Wang recalls that when she first arrived she was too frail to lift water from a well. But when she returned to her home six years later, she had become so muscular her mother did not recognize her. Although she labored in the fields, Wang

also ran a clinic at night, adminis-

tering herbal remedies and acupuncture. The herbs are generally boiled and drunk with sugar. “Often it turns out to taste pretty good,” Wang says. She used acupuncture for illnesses as serious as appendicitis. “Traditional Chinese medicine is not as simple as many people think it is,” Wang says. “I have studied it for about 20 years now and I can only say that I have-a handle on it., But western medicine, which I have studied for much less time, I feel like I know pretty well.” For most of her own ailments, Wang relies on traditional medicines and has assembled a large collection of herbs and

in her

room. Like any good doctor, however, she is concerned about the well-being of the masses and often administers traditional treatments to Chinese students living in

I. House. After six years on the farm, government officials allowed Wang to return home. Still interested in health care, she began studying Western medicine and earned her M.D. at the Beijing Medical Hospital. The combination of Chinese and Western medical expertise propelled her quickly up the administrative ladder. Before leaving for New York, she was in charge of Beijing Medical University’s academic affairs. In the United States, Wang finished a Master’s degree in public health at Columbia University and is now a candidate for an ED. D. degree from the health education department of Teachers College at Columbia. Wang is now studying the health of babies of different races in New York and is trying to determine if o race’s lifestyle leads to healthier infants. Like past events in Wang’s life, living in New York has not been easy. “I call it my second trip to the farm,” she says. “It’s

different than big cities in other countries. New York is a big international family. But it’s a hard place to be a poor student.” “Because New York can be difficult, | feel very lucky to live in a place like I. House,” she says. “It is really great to come home to my International House family.” While in New York, Wang has witnessed Western medicine first-hand. She is impressed with American ~ diagnostic techniques like ultrasound and X-rays, but

The Chinese herbal remedies - and acupunture were developed over 1,000 years ago coinciding with the nation’s first attempt at surgery. Although revolutionary for their time, Wang says Chinese surgical techniques have not advanced like those in the West. But Chinese doctors operate less frequently than do Americans, she adds. Wang, who has about another two years in New York, was joined by her husband this summer. He is employed as a visiting scholar in the architecture department at Columbia. “It was very unusual for the Chinese government to let him come here,” Wang says. “They usually don’t want couples to live together because they might not want to come back.” Although Wang’s administrative duties are likely to increase when she returns — a prospect she grudgingly accepts — she seems certain to make the best of it. my boss tells me,” she laughs.

The Chamber Orchestra’s home, the I.

House auditorium, will undergo renovations beginning in the spring of 1989. A limited number of balcony seats may now be purchased and named in honor of the donor. As the auditorium is the hub of so many events — Sunday Suppers, cultural hours, special dinners and balls — it is an integral part of the memories of everyone who has lived here.

Balcony seats may be donated for only $250 each. Donors will be recognized by a plaque affixed’to the back of each chair, so that future generations will be aware of the generosity which made the renova-

tion of the auditorium possible. Checks for balcony seats may be sent to the Office of Development and Alumni Affairs.
