Answer 1

【答案】Dear Tony,

I am more than delighted to hear that you take an intense interest in Chinese culture, especially Traditional Chinese Medicine. The TCM, as an important part of Chinese culture, has been attracting attention from all over the world.

The TCM, with its unique diagnostic methods, long history and remarkable effects, has been used to treat cancer and other serious diseases for more than five thousand years. Unlike the Western Medicine, the TCM has fewer side effects, making it much more reliable for most Chinese people. Above all, compared with high fees of the Western Medicine, the TCM has a more reasonable price that ordinary people can afford.

In a word, the TCM has made great contributions to the development of Chinese health care. Hope you can have a better understanding of it.

Yours,

Li Hua
