In 2022, Onodu began his postgraduate studies at the university, and under the guidance of his mentor, he can now provide TCM advice to patients.

"Some patients experienced bloating after surgery and had difficulty excreting for a long time," he said. "We suggested acupuncture and they quickly found relief."

He hopes cooperation between China and Nigeria continues to deepen.

"I hope people in my country can benefit more from traditional Chinese medicine," he said. "When I return to my country, I will do my best to promote the popularization of TCM in Africa."

The university, which was established in 1958, has recently become a center for education, research, medical care and cultural exchanges in Jilin — particularly with TCM. This year, the university has admitted more than a dozen students from Africa.

"We hope the African students will bring back to their countries what they have learned and experienced in China," said Yan Qi, a teacher at the university's International Education School. "We hope they will promote exchanges and cooperation between the two sides and share their Chinese stories."
