UMass Chinese Mental Health Program launches ‘HARMONIOUS’ to share personal mental health experiences

by guest

By Dr. Xiaoduo Fan Several years ago when I was practicing psychiatry at Massachusetts General Hospital, I noticed a pattern among the patients who came to see me – while I saw Asian patients in the ER or in an inpatient setting, rarely did I see them in an outpatient setting.

Regulations vary between each university, but all are attempting to limit […]

Celebrate ‘World Baijiu Day’

by Richard Auffrey

It’s the most popular spirit in the world, with over 11 billion liters produced, and nearly all made in a single country – China. Despite its great popularity, many Americans know little, if anything, about it, and it’s time to enlighten people about the wonders of this fascinating spirit known as Baijiu.
