Since 2017, Dr. Lu Yuanzheng has been on a mission in Setif, Algeria, armed with tiny needles and a big heart. Hailing from Shiyan in the Chinese mainland's Hubei Province, he's part of China's 27th medical aid team, sharing the power of acupuncture with patients eager for relief.
Locals lovingly call acupuncture "Libaira," or "needle treatment," a nickname dating back to 1963 when China sent its first medical team to North Africa. Fast, affordable and effective, it quickly earned the title "the magic needles of China." Today, Dr. Lu's gentle touch carries that proud legacy forward.
From easing chronic back pain to soothing exam nerves, Libaira is bringing smiles in Setif. One relieved patient says it's amazing how a few needles can change your day. 😊
This healing journey is more than health care—it's a bridge between cultures and a testament to friendship across continents. For news enthusiasts, travelers and young professionals alike, it's a reminder that ancient traditions still hold magic in our modern world. 🌍🪡❤️
