Tianjin Haihe Media Group presents the story of Zhang Boli in fighting COVID-19 with TCM
TIANJIN, China, July 2, 2021 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

In September 2020, Zhang Boli was awarded with the national honorary title "the 
People's Hero" by the Chinese central government for his outstanding 
contribution to the country's fight against the COVID-19 pandemic.

The decision was made to commend people who have made outstanding contributions 
in the fight, and carry forward their dedication and other noble qualities.

This short documentary was produced by Tianjin Haihe Media Group, which told 
Dr. Zhang's story of his battle against COVID-19 during the pandemic. In 2020, 
Zhang Boli, 72, helped the medical community recognize the value of Traditional 
Chinese Medicine (TCM) by leading an expert team to treat COVID-19 infections 
in Wuhan, China's frontline in the battle against the novel coronavirus disease.

As head of Tianjin University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Zhang arrived in 
Wuhan, capital of central China's Hubei Province, on January 27, the third day 
of China's Lunar New Year and the fifth day into the megacity's lockdown for 
pandemic control.

Zhang Boli and over 300 other doctors formed a TCM medical team. They were 
stationed at a makeshift hospital in Wuhan's Jiangxia district using TCM 
decoctions with other treatments such as massage, acupuncture, and physical 
exercises from Tai Chi and Baduanjin, a traditional aerobics form, to treat 
COVID-19 patients.

With Zhang's pioneering practices, TCM treatment has been given to 90 percent 
of COVID-19 patients in Wuhan, helping to relieve symptoms, slowing disease 
progression, and boosting recovery.
