Biographical History
Zhou Hong grew up during a time of tremendous social change in China. During much of
his childhood and early adult years, the Chinese government, under Chairman Mao,
discouraged Chinese spiritual and folk traditions in a bid toward modernism in keeping
with Communist tenants. That Zhou Hong was able to acquire so many traditional skills so
quickly during this time speaks to his dedication as a healer and his belief in the
effectiveness of Traditional Chinese Medical (TCM) healing methods.
Zhou Hong's training began at the remarkably early (by Western cultural standards) age of seven. Zhou Hong's father and grandfather, both healers, were friends with a Shaolin
monk who had been reassigned to the Anhui province to tend water buffaloes during one of
Chairman Mao's social experiments. The Shaolin monk taught Zhou Hong a martial art (or
Gongfu) called Shaolinquan, which concentrates on the intentional and precise movement of
the hands. As a ten10-year-old, Zhou Hong began medical studies with his father, also a
TCM doctor and Shaolin Gongfu and QiGong practitioner. By the time he was 15, Zhou Hong
was assisting his father in the treatment of bone injuries among local village patients.
As a young man of 18, Zhou Hong left his family's village on a pilgrimage, where he
traveled to the mountainous area of Yingwan in the Yicuan County of the Shangxi Province.
In the two years he was there, he improved his QiGong skills in the clear mountain air and
enriched his knowledge and skills surrounding the identification and collection of herbs.
Around this time, Zhou Hong began to acquire another remarkable ability &emdash; he had learned the art
of gathering Qi (essential air or life force) into himself, but now he began to be able to project it into others.
 He returned to his village where, in addition to his studies in TCM, Zhou Hong started
to learn acrobatics and the martial art of Wushu. By the time he was 21 he organized his
own Wushu and acrobatic team, and together they performed in many different provinces and
regions throughout China. During his travels, Zhou Hong sought out traditional healers in
the villages and cities where he performed and continued to increase his knowledge base of
Chinese healing arts.
Zhou Hong returned home around the age of 24 to study and work with his third teacher,
who was a graduate from Anhui Medical University. From him, he learned acupuncture,
moxibustion, cupping, and a very structured system for healing. In his late 20's Zhou Hong
began a formal apprenticeship with Dr. Li Xueyan, wherein he expanded his knowledge of TCM, studied acupuncture, and earned his TCM license. He then opened his own clinic in
Lingquan County.
When he was 30, an opportunity to work as a Tuina doctor at the West Sea Hotel in the
Yellow Mountain National Park presented itself. There, he deepened his practice of QiGong
in the clear, energizing air of these lovely and sacred mountains. Providing treatments to the Western tourists that began trickling into China's loveliest natural attraction gave Zhou Hong the opportunity for a more reliable income for his family. One of these tourists was Anna Less, who was herself a TCM doctor from Florida in the United States. Because she was so impressed with Zhou Hong's ability to heal by projecting Qi
into patients and his depth of knowledge and skill, she referred him to many Western friends, all of whom were thankful for and enthusiastic about the treatments they received. Today, Dr. Zhou treats many patients from the United States and abroad. It is from this practice that the Yellow Mountain Healing Center has evolved.
