Apprenticeship Pledge
Respected Master, Dr. Mingjie Wu:
Your disciple, Christine Wilson, respectfully bows before you with utmost sincerity.
When I recall our first meeting, it was in August 2014, in West Hartford, Connecticut. A friend brought me to see you for treatment. You treated my varicose veins, and after just one session, my qi flowed freely, my body and mind felt renewed, and my life was forever changed. As I lay on the treatment table, I heard a quiet voice within say: “You will follow this teacher for many years and learn to heal others.”
Later, at a tea festival, I tasted the tea you personally prepared. Its energy rose through me, filling me with lightness and peace — a deep healing beyond words. From then on, I began visiting you monthly, observing your treatments and learning the true essence of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Gradually, I began applying what I learned from you to my own patients — and the results were remarkable. Their healing lasted not just for weeks, but for good. Word spread quickly, and soon my patient community grew so much that I left the chiropractic office where I had worked and opened my own wellness practice. Together with some of your other students, I helped build a small healing center that continues to thrive today.
Master, you have not only taught me the techniques — the acupoints, the methods, the herbal wisdom — but also the heart of medicine: compassion, patience, and faith. Most of all, you believed in me before I believed in myself. You encouraged me to learn public speaking. I was once too shy even to speak on camera — and now I share Fengyang Traditional Chinese Medicine and family wellness with large audiences.
Your wisdom has transformed not only my professional path but also my inner life. I continue to learn every day, always both a student and a teacher. To study under you, to listen to your guidance, and to carry your lineage forward fills my heart with gratitude and joy.
Today, in the presence of my fellow disciples, elders, and Grandmaster, I humbly ask that you accept me, Christine Wilson, as your formal disciple. I vow to uphold your teachings, to spread the great way of Traditional Chinese Medicine, to heal and serve humanity, and never to forget my Master’s kindness.
Respectfully submitted,
Disciple Christine Wilson
