1499^th article   第1499期双语推文

Young people dream of the future as they march forward into the next stages of their lives. On the morning of May 16^th, the 2026 Zhengzhou Joint Graduation Ceremony for University Students took place at Zhengzhou University of Light Industry under the slogan Zhengzhou Needs You for a Bright Future.
少年怀志，逐梦远方；青春有翼，笃行不怠。 5月16日上午，“‘郑’好需要你 未来皆可期”2026郑州·大学生集中毕业典礼在郑州轻工业大学举行。

During the ceremony, Wu Ming, a German graduate from Henan University of Chinese Medicine, amazed the audience with his fluent Henan dialect. He had studied martial arts since the age of nine and chanced upon a Shaolin master travelling in Germany. During his training under the master, he first experienced the rhythm of Chinese culture and came to know the insights of traditional Chinese medicine, which shares the origins of martial arts. Ever since, a desire to visit the Central Plains quietly took root in his heart.

典礼上，来自德国的河南中医药大学硕士毕业生无名，用一口流利的河南话惊艳全场。 九岁时无名开始练习武术，机缘巧合认识了一位在德国游历的少林师傅。 跟着师傅练拳的日子里，他第一次触摸到中国文化的脉搏，由此接触到与武术同源的中医智慧。 一颗奔赴中原的种子，就这样悄悄在他心底埋下。

Martial arts birthed his bond with the Central Plains, and traditional Chinese medicine anchored his life in Zhengzhou. For ten years in Zhengzhou, he studied under Song Zhaopu, a national-level master practitioner of Song-style TCM surgery. There, he learned to perform the four diagnostic methods, prescribe herbal formulas, and administer acupuncture. Through this training, he evolved from a foreigner unfamiliar with basic TCM concepts like yin/yang and the five elements into an independent TCM practitioner.

因武术与中原结缘，因中医在郑州扎根。 在郑州生活的十年里，他师从国家级非遗宋氏中医外科传承人宋兆普学习，每天在医院里望闻问切、开方扎针，从一名连“阴阳五行”都说不利索的“老外”成长为独立坐诊的中医。

When he first arrived in Henan, Wu Ming struggled with language barriers, remarking that "the people around me sounded like they were singing." Yet his love for Chinese medicine drove him to overcome many difficulties, and he eventually became proficient in understanding and interpreting the Henan dialect, noting that "to truly master something, you must stay grounded and be patient." Day after day he kept learning, observing and providing medical services alongside his master Song Zhaopu. "What my master taught me is not just medical skills, but also medical ethics: Heal the sick, respect every herb, and treat every patient with sincerity," he said. Such steady growth has made Wu Ming regard Zhengzhou not as a foreign land, but as his second home.

在刚来到河南时，无名感受到语言不通带来的障碍，“身边人说话像唱歌”，但凭着对中医文化的热爱，无名克服了重重困难，成长为“能翻译河南话”的“老外”。 “想要学有所成，就必须沉下去，坐得住。” 他跟随宋兆普，在医院里一天天学，一天天看，一天天治。“师傅教我的不只是医术，更是医德——‘治病救人，对得起每一味药，对得起每一个病人’。”这份踏实的成长，让无名深深觉得郑州不是异乡，而是第二故乡。

"My original goal in getting on social media," he said, "was to help more people, especially young audiences, engage with TCM in an approachable manner." He opened accounts under the name Wu Ming in Henan on platforms such as Douyin and Xiaohongshu, regularly posting videos to promote the culture of TCM. In his spare time, he continues to practice martial arts and competes in the Wu Lin Feng (or Kung Fu Wind) amateur competition. He has also launched his own wellness brand, Wu Ming You Fang, releasing a series of herbal teas. A physical store is scheduled to open later this year. "My main pursuit in TCM has rooted me in Zhengzhou, while my side endeavors allow me to share my affection for this city with more people." Wu Ming has a sincere love for both Chinese medicine and the city.

“我开设自媒体账号的初心是让更多人，尤其是年轻人，用更轻松的方式接触中医。” 他在抖音、小红书等平台开通“无名在河南”账号，持续制作各类中医药文化传播视频。 工作之余，无名坚持练习武术，参加《武林风》百姓擂台打比赛，创立了“无名有方”品牌，推出健康养生茶，茶饮店今年也将开业。 “中医的主业让我扎根郑州，副业让我把对郑州的爱讲给更多人听。” 无名心中满怀对中医、对郑州的爱。

In his speech, Wu Ming invited the graduates to stay in Henan and Zhengzhou: "Zhengzhou provides ample room for entrepreneurship and a platform to realize your potential. This is undoubtedly a home worth staying in."

在发言中，无名向毕业生发出了“留在河南、扎根郑州”的邀约：“郑州有创业的空间，有你施展拳脚的舞台，这片土地值得留下来!”
