Recently, the Xue Fei by-Fang Studio was officially inaugurated in Zibo, attracting widespread attention from the industry. The establishment of this studio provides a new platform for the inheritance and development of the ancient prescriptions, highlighting the profound sense of responsibility and mission of Dr. Xue Fei, a young doctor from our hospital. He has taken on the responsibility of inheriting the ancient prescriptions through concrete actions, demonstrating the commitment and actions of the new generation of young Chinese doctors.

When talking about the deep connection with the ancient prescriptions, Xue Fei couldn't hide his excitement. All of this began with an unexpected academic encounter. In the autumn of 2016, as a doctoral student at Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine, he, accompanied by his classmates, had the honor of entering Huang Huang's class. It was there that he first experienced the unique thinking framework of the ancient prescriptions - "prescription - disease - patient". That moment was like a beam of light piercing through the numerous fog on his path of medical exploration, opening the door to new methods of diagnosis and treatment in traditional Chinese medicine. He suddenly realized that the diagnosis process could be so concise, accurate and efficient. Since then, Xue Fei has developed a strong interest and love for the ancient prescriptions, and resolutely embarked on the path of in-depth study, practice and inheritance.
"Ancient prescriptions are the treasures of traditional Chinese medicine. They are ancient, emphasizing targeted treatment and have remarkable effects; at the same time, the medication is simple, with just a few herbs forming a prescription, which is both economical and convenient for patients to accept," said Deputy Chief Physician Xue Fei. Over the years, he has always been centered on the patients, carrying forward the unique charm of "Ancient Prescriptions Benefiting the People", using the least amount of medicine and the lowest cost to achieve the best therapeutic effect. This kind of medical heart has won widespread praise from patients.
Outside Xue Fei's clinic, patients waiting for treatment come in a continuous stream. They come from different places, but all share the same desire for recovery. In 2024, Xue Fei's annual patient volume reached over 20,000 people. Behind this number of patients is the trust of the patients, and this trust stems from his unwavering commitment to the original intention, dedicated to using ancient prescriptions to relieve patients' pain.
In the clinic, Dr. Xue uses traditional diagnostic methods such as observation and tongue diagnosis, combined with detailed observation and inquiries, accurately grasping the patient's condition and physical characteristics, and then customizing personalized treatment plans based on the ancient prescription theory. Under this treatment method, many patients have regained their health and hope. Ms. Liu, 58 years old (anonymous), is one of the beneficiaries of the ancient prescriptions. She has been suffering from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease for many years, with the condition fluctuating frequently, sometimes improving and sometimes deteriorating. She has tried various treatment methods, but the results have always been unsatisfactory, causing her great pain. Through a friend's introduction, Liu found Xue Fei. Xue Fei carefully studied her condition and, based on the initial, middle and final stages of the disease's development, carefully designed a staged ancient prescription treatment plan. After a period of adjustment, Liu's symptoms have significantly improved, from being weak and powerless at the beginning to now living freely, she seems to have regained her life, with a long-lost smile on her face.
"Although the ancient prescriptions are simple in terms of medicinal materials and low in price, their efficacy is not to be underestimated. Among the patients I have treated, there are many who have been plagued by diseases for many years. However, after a period of ancient prescription treatment, their symptoms have mostly been significantly improved or controlled. This fully demonstrates the charm of ancient prescriptions in the treatment of chronic diseases," Xue Fei said with admiration.
In addition to working diligently in the daily clinic, Dr. Xue also harbors a great love for medicine and actively participates in medical assistance work. In June 2021, as a traditional Chinese medicine doctor, he went to Qiandongnan Prefecture in Guizhou Province. The region was affected by high altitudes and special climatic conditions, with scarce medical resources and inconvenient access for local residents, who have long suffered from joint diseases, chronic diseases, etc.
After arriving, Xue Fei immediately devoted himself to the local medical work. He used his profound knowledge of ancient prescriptions to diagnose and treat various common diseases for the local residents. Among them, there was an 85-year-old Miao ethnic elder who had suffered from pulmonary heart disease for over 20 years. Daily life was plagued by shortness of breath, palpitations, and back pain, significantly reducing his quality of life. Dr. Xue Fei treated this elderly man with traditional prescriptions, and after a period of effort, the patient's symptoms improved significantly. In the scarce medical resources area of Guizhou Mountains, such patients are everywhere. Dr. Xue Fei's traditional prescription therapy provided these patients with a convenient and economical treatment method, bringing them the hope of health.
Not only that, Dr. Xue Fei deeply understood that to fundamentally solve the problem of difficulty in accessing medical care for local people, it is crucial to cultivate local medical talents. During his assistance in Guizhou, he conducted three sessions of learning on traditional prescriptions with local grassroots hospital doctors, sharing his experiences and knowledge without reservation, inspiring the enthusiasm of local doctors to learn traditional prescriptions. Through his efforts, more and more local doctors have mastered the treatment methods of traditional prescriptions, injecting new vitality into the improvement of the local grassroots medical level.
Nowadays, Dr. Xue Fei's number of patients in the main hospital and the Fangzhengtang outpatient clinic outside the hospital is increasing day by day. The number of appointments is hard to get, and the patient group covers men, women, and children of all ages. There are countless certificates of gratitude from the patients. "Being able to relieve the pain of the people and receive their recognition is the greatest happiness for a doctor," said Dr. Xue Fei.
In Xue Fei's case, we see the responsibility and actions of young and middle-aged medical workers in the new era. On the platform of the studio, he shoulders the responsibility of inheriting traditional prescriptions; in the daily outpatient clinics, he uses his superb medical skills to help patients solve problems; in medical assistance, he also contributes to improving the medical conditions of grassroots areas in remote regions. Every step he takes is firm and powerful.
In Yantai City Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, outstanding young and middle-aged doctors like Dr. Xue Fei are emerging day by day. More and more young and middle-aged backbone doctors who do not forget their professional初心 and have improved their medical skills are shining in their respective medical fields， continuously contributing to the development of the medical and health cause. With Dr. Xue Fei as the vanguard representative， the new era doctors are using their actions to interpret the mission and responsibility of young and middle-aged medical workers.
