Hello everyone!

My name is Eloge Beni N'GANGUIE-N'GUIE, 苏木 is my Chinese name. I am 19 years old and I am an international student from Congo-Brazzaville. This year I am a new undergraduate at Yangtze University where I study Integrated Chinese and Western Clinical Medicine.

Why did I choose to be a doctor?

Since I was very young, I look at doctors admiringly, the nobility of this profession is an aspect that attracts me; Being able to treat people, help them live better or give birth, all this has always fascinated me. On the other hand, I have always been good at science on the theoretical and practical side, I had good grades in school and I made the medical care of my pets a personal matter. I was so comfortable taking care of them that it caught the eye of people who kept telling me that I was good at it and that I had made the right choice.

But why Integrated Chinese and Western Clinical Medicine?

Nowadays, most of the time, when we talk about medicine, we refer directly to Western medicine without thinking about what it lacks. In my opinion, there are many benefits provided by Chinese medicine that Western medicine does not provide. For example, to put it simply, I would say that Western medicine focuses on restoring the dysfunction of a specific mechanism with purified molecules from the pharmaceutical industry, while traditional Chinese medicine treats the entire human body to restore our balance through plants. My goal after studying Integrated Chinese and Western Clinical Medicine will be firstly to provide patients with care to cure their diseases and keep them in a state of balance as well as in good health, and secondly to open the eyes of the world to the effectiveness of traditional Chinese medicine which is in my opinion very little taken into consideration. I am sure that Yangtze University will be able to accompany me as it should in the accomplishment of my projects thanks to the quality teaching that is provided and all the resources it can provide us, which is why I entrust my academic training in its hands.

大家好！

我的名字是Eloge Beni N'GANGUIE-N'GUIE，苏木是我的中文名字。我今年19岁来自刚果(布)。我是长江大学医学部的一名本科新生，专业是中西医临床医学。

我为什么选择当医生？

从很小的时候起，我就很喜欢医生这个职业，这个职业最吸引我的就是救死扶伤。我在高中时成绩名列前茅，对医学的理论和实践都很感兴趣，常常将医学知识运用到养宠物当中。周围的人发现我将宠物照顾得很好，于是他们建议我可以试试医学专业，于是我做出了学医的选择。

为什么选中西医临床医学这个专业呢？

现在人们谈论医学的时候大多数指的是西医。但在我看来，中医具备许多西医不具备的优势。例如，西医专注于用制药工业来恢复人体相关机能和指标，而中医则通过植物来治疗和调节人体，以保持人们体内的平衡。我学习中西医临床医学专业有两个目标，一是用中医为患者消除病痛，使他们健康生活；其次让全世界了解中医药的有效性，我认为这一点十分重要。我相信，长江大学提供的优秀师资和良好环境会帮我实现自己的梦想，这就是我选择长江大学的原因。
