Summer of Vancouver musical concert

Speach  by  Dr. Weidong Yu

Ladies and Gentlemen, honorable guests and dear friends:

Welcome to Summer of Vancouver musical concert. This is the first fundraising concert of Wellspring Charitable foundation. Let’s all have good times in the sound of Chinese music, in this beautiful Vancouver Summer.

Mission of Wellspring foundation is to support education and research of traditional Chinese medicine in Canada. The foundation believes that traditional Chinese medicine is one of the most valuable contributions to humanity and world civilization by Chinese Nation, also one important pillar of Canadian multicultural society. We can help elevate health care capacity of TCM profession by supporting education and research in a Canadian public university.

I immigrated to Canada in 1997, started a very small clinic, Wellspring clinic. The clinic accidentally has made international impact in the treatment of Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP), a genetic eye condition that affects millions in the world. I have treated more than 800 cases of RP patients from more than 25 countries over the world. Traditional Chinese medicine has made a significantly positive difference in those patients’ vision and life, bringing hope, deep joy and happiness to not only themselves, but also their family and friends.

I want to give my gratitude, for the success, to my parents, my family and the good earth of my hometown in China, as they raised me and educated me. Studying TCM is the best thing in my life.

I also want to give my gratitude to my teachers and colleagues as I was a medical students and young practitioner in my years in China. They inspired my view about life, health and disease. They taught me the critical skills in medicine, which made me today.

My humble success in RP is based on the knowledge and experience of many of my teachers, peers and authors of many other TCM books. I owe my success to them.

I am also deeply thankful to Vancouver, Canada, for providing a safe, stable social economic environment for my practice. I owe my success to this land.

I am gratitude to my patients from all over the world, for the trust they place on me, which is the ultimate driving force to my achievement.

At last I want to thank God for giving me the courage, faith and wisdom in many, many hard times of my life.

I love TCM, I love Vancouver. Wellspring Charitable Foundation is my way of giving back to this loving community. I will give portion of my business income annually to the foundation, to support TCM education and research. I would also like to provide this platform for all business and friends, together we give back to the community, support and development of TCM in Canada and over the world.

Let us unite each year, in the sound of Chinese music, let integrity and loving kindness pass on to each other, enjoy and enrich our Canadian multicultural society.

Thank you all for your support and passion!

Dr Weidong Yu  Dr.TCM.BM.MPH.

President

    感谢大家在百忙之中，参加天泉慈善基金会2018年温哥华之夏音乐会，这也是我们天泉慈善基金会成立以来的首次筹款活动。

    我于1997年移民到温哥华，开了一个小小的诊所，即天泉中医诊所。21年来，不小心做出了世界性的影响。用中医中药的方法治疗视网膜色素变性取得的良好进展，并接治了来自世界各地40 多个国家的800多名患者，给他们带来了视力的改善、重见光明的希望，也给病人本人，家庭，和朋友创造了深沉的快乐。

今天回顾过去的成绩，我十分感恩我的父母、家人，和远在中国的家乡对我的养育与支持。学习中医是我一生最好的选择，也感恩我的母校老师们，在我行医过程中遇到的各位师友们的教导，开阔了我的视野，提升了我的境界，使我在前人累积的知识基础上成为一个好医生。我亦十分感恩加拿大，温哥华，为我的成功提供了自由的空气，和一个稳定的社会文化环境。并再次感恩来自世界各地的病人的信任，使我有机会治疗他们。最后，我要感恩上帝，给予了我克服困难的信念、勇气与智慧。

天泉慈善基金会的成立，是我的家庭怀着对中医，以及对温哥华的热爱，回馈社会的一项举动。我们将会每年拿出收入的一部分，来支持加拿大中医的教育与科研。同时也为志同道合的各位朋友们提供一个平台，一起捐助和支持伟大的中医学在加拿大乃至全世界的发展。
