Origin and Story of 誉满杏林
During the Three Kingdoms period, there was a famous physician named Dong Feng. He treated people daily without charging any fees, and his medical skills were remarkably superb, often curing illnesses instantly.
When patients tried to give him gifts, he firmly refused. Instead, he requested them to plant an apricot tree in front of his house.
Over time, about 100,000 apricot trees grew around his residence. In spring, the apricot blossoms were incredibly beautiful.
Dong Feng would then use the apricots from these trees to help impoverished families.
