"Shufei, have you seen the film 'Dear You'? I cried so much at the cinema. It's about the story of going to Nanyang(Southeast Asia), that feeling of leaving home and being uprooted—it really hit me." A friend asked casually. Huang Shufei hadn't had time to watch it yet, but she understood thosewords "leaving home and being uprooted"—her ancestors had experienced the "descent to Nanyang."

　　She is a Malaysian of Chinese descent, with three generations of medical practitioners in her family. Her grandfather was a local veteran doctor of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), without a clinic—just a table and a set of needles, treating patients for most of his life. As a child, Huang Shufei would sit on a small stool beside him, watching silver needles go in and the patient sigh with relief. She found it magical. Later, her older brother and sister also studied TCM , both coming to China—one in Guangdong, and the other in Hunan. Then, she too packed her bags and arrived at Shandong University of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

　　In 2025, she participated in the National Clinical Skills Competition of Acupuncture-Moxibustion & Tuina in Universities, winning second prize in warm acupuncture. Ma Yuxia, Deputy Dean of the School of Acupuncture, Moxibustion and Tuina, Shandong University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said her technique has the steadiness of the older generation, combining her grandfather's experience with modern teaching—quite an advantage.
