Chen Zhan, Deputy Dean of the International Education College at Shandong University of Traditional Chinese Medicine said that ethnic Chinese international students from Malaysia like Huang Shufei are the "backbone force" of TCM dissemination and development in their local region. "After completing their studies and returning home, they can not only carry out diagnoses and treatments precisely tailored to local climates, constitutions, and prevalent conditions, but also popularize TCM concepts in accessible ways, becoming a new generation of localized TCM practitioners."

　　Before the hundred-herb cabinet, Huang Shufei pulled open the drawer labeled "Angelica sinensis (Danggui)", took one out, and held it in her palm. She said, "Angelica sinensis (Danggui) means 'ought to return'... The name 'Angelica sinensis (Danggui)' seems to have been constantly reminding me, telling me to remember to go home."

　　A hundred years ago, her ancestors crossed the ocean from China to Nanyang, putting down roots in Malaysia, but the bloodline connection was never severed. Now she comes to China to study TCM, walking on campus, opening ancient texts, identifying every medicinal herb—she says she can feel a "sense of roots," a concrete, grounded belonging. Returning to her ancestors' homeland, learning the most authentic medical arts—"Angelica sinensis (Danggui)" means exactly this.

　　And Malaysia is where she grew up, with its hot and humid climate, family waiting for her, and people who need TCM. She said, "I am studying TCM in China, but I will eventually return to Malaysia to carry on my grandfather's craft." Learning well in China, then returning to her hometown to treat fellow countrymen—another layer of meaning is also hidden in "Angelica sinensis (Danggui)."
