Wu chu, originally from huizhou, anhui (now huangshan shexian county, anhui province), was a famous doctor in the early qing dynasty. Like many scholars at that time, wu chu's ambition was to take part in the imperial examinations through reading, and become an official. But how did he go on to become a doctor? Here is a touching story.

Wu chu's old grandmother was 74 years old when she suddenly caught severe diseases. She looked around for famous doctors who could not take effect. She could not eat for days. But the old grandmother's illness did not wait for anyone, wu chu was armed with the determination to try, night and night reading the family's medical books, as if suddenly realized something, and boldly issued a prescription. No one knew if it was a coincidence or if the medicine was really for his illness.

Wu chu was able to cure his old grandmother's illness, which could not all be explained by luck. Wu chu was born in a family of medicine. His grand grandfather, wu zhenglun, was a famous doctor in the Ming dynasty. He was a famous doctor from longqing to wanli in the Ming dynasty. Wu chu's uncle wu yuanchang, father wu wentao and uncle wu xing jian were all famous doctors at that time, all of which had medical books handed down from generation to generation.

Wu became famous for his stories of helping his old grandmother. Doctors kept coming to him. It was a pity for wu and chu that he could not enter the political career, but a good thing for the common people. Later, wu recorded his prescriptions for patients, his dialogue on treating diseases and his thoughts and feelings into two volumes of medical records and medical records.
