自从笔者在本刊1981年第4期发表《自学者要学而有成》的短文以后,一年多来,收到了全国各地许多自学中医人员的来信,大多系青年。你们刻苦学习和钻研中医药学的事迹和精神,使我深受教益和鼓励。我视你们为学友,互勉共进。 Since the publication of the essay “Self-study to Be Successful,” published by the author in Issue 4, 1981, over the past year or so, I have received many letters from many self-taught Chinese medicine practitioners throughout the country, most of whom are young people. Your hard-working study and study of the deeds and spirit of traditional Chinese medicine has greatly benefited me. I treat you as my fellow students, mutual encouragement.
