In the field of traditional Chinese medicine in Beijing, there is a respected old gentleman who is still saving lives at the age of 98. He is the oldest visiting doctor in Beijing at present. He is Lu, a master of Chinese medicine. Lu, 1920, a native of Hebei, was a famous Chinese medicine practitioner. /kloc-started practicing medicine at the age of 0/7, learned from others, and became a family, especially making good use of spleen and stomach to regulate and treat various diseases. Lu Lao is one of the 30 Chinese medicine masters selected by China in 2009, and also a representative inheritor of the national intangible cultural heritage traditional medicine project.

When discussing health preservation methods with students, Lu Lao emphasized the "acquired foundation"-spleen and stomach.
