I have never met a Chinese practitioner of Chinese medicine that hasn't heard of him. I actually studied with him for a year back in 1998-1999 and was going to be his Ph.D. student, but the air in Beijing forced me to leave (I had chronic bronchitis almost the entire time I was there!). He is originally an MD, but began studying CM immediately after completing his Western med education about 40 years ago. He is formidable is both WM and CM, and primarily researches blood invigorating herbs for cardiovascular conditions (he's a cardiovascular specialist). I would say he has a very level-headed perspective of CM and I have a ton of respect for him. He is big on integration of WM and CM, but he has not forgone classical CM by any means. In fact, he is one of the few people in China (read, the world) with access to the Forbidden City's medical record library, and has written several books about the treatment records of the Tai-Yi (imperial doctors) and their treatment of the emperors. Very interesting stuff, and in fact one of these has been translated, if I remember correctly. So while he has done a lot to pioneer research in CM and integration with WM, he still puts in copious amounts of time into classical research. He's also great in the clinic. What more could you want? I am still bummed that I had to leave Beijing and didn't get to complete my studies with him, but I couldn't sacrifice my own health for it. In any case, his opinion is well worth listening to, in my opinion. :-) Best wishes, Greg -- Greg A.
