One Man's China: A Great Treasure House

on BBC Two England

A report by Felix Greene

The final film of the series looks at Chinese Medicine and Pharmacology which was referred to by Chairman Mao Tse-tung as a 'great treasure house.'
Felix Greene, freelance British reporter and friend of Red China, was recently given facilities unique for a Westerner, to travel far and wide to look at developments in medicine since the Cultural Revolution.
This unusual film shows how Western and Chinese methods are frequently combined - and illustrates the contrasts between the larger urban medical centres and the 'barefoot' doctors who travel from village to village in the more remote parts of China.
