Amazement!The morning mist still veiled the mountain city, yet the venue of Chongqing’s 6th Traditional Chinese Medicine Manual Skills Competition was already alive with energy. With our ten-member "elite team," I stepped once more into that familiar arena. The air carried the earthy fragrance of mugwort and a quiet tension. "Time to shine, team!" I called out, and my comrades answered with grins—that unspoken bond forged through years of battles fought side by side.

The competition was in full swing. Our team performed steadily, their needling techniques as precise as GPS navigation, their sweeping and dispersing maneuvers blending firmness with flexibility. But what truly etched our name into the memory of the entire arena was Dr. Fu Hongkun’s legendary "highlight moment"—a story later recounted with relish by all who witnessed it. At the time, the competition hadn’t even officially begun, yet Dr. Fu was already warming up the crowd! With her signature calm smile, she invited a volunteer onto the stage—a patient long plagued by frozen shoulder, his arm aching unbearably when raised or extended backward. After a routine examination, Dr. Fu unveiled her "secret weapon": Fu's Subcutaneous Needling. "Notice how this differs from traditional acupuncture," she explained in a clear, carrying voice as she worked, instantly drawing the crowd’s attention. "It operates solely within the superficial fascial layer, like this—" With a deft motion, she pressed the needle inserter against the patient’s forearm near the affected muscle. Click. A soft sound, and the needle tip slipped seamlessly beneath the skin. No soreness, numbness, or distension—none of the sensations typical of conventional acupuncture. The volunteer’s expression didn’t even flicker.

And now, the most thrilling part! Dr. Fu Hongkun withdrew the needle inserter and began her mesmerizing "sweeping dispersion" technique. With her index finger, she gently and rhythmically swayed the exposed needle handle in a fan-like motion, causing the shaft to glide smoothly through the superficial subcutaneous layer. From a distance, the needle resembled a tiny boat floating on water, rippling softly under the "breeze" of her fingertips. "Come closer, everyone!" She masterfully transformed technical jargon into vivid metaphors: "Sweeping dispersion is like giving the connective tissues beneath the skin a massage—they’re the body’s most extensive communication network. By regulating them here, we can remotely alleviate pain in distant areas, just like untangling a knot of wires to restore smooth, uninterrupted signals."

Her demonstration and explanation acted like a powerful magnet. Crowds that had been observing other booths spontaneously converged, forming concentric circles around her. Those at the back stood on tiptoe, smartphones raised, lenses uniformly trained on Dr. Fu’s dexterous fingers and that "floating" needle. Murmurs of awe rippled through the audience: "Look—the needle’s moving, but he doesn’t seem to feel any pain!" "The principle behind this is brilliant!"After just a few minutes of sweeping dispersion, Dr. Fu invited the patient to move his shoulder again. Tentatively, he extended his arm backward, then slowly raised it higher—his expression shifting from caution to astonishment, then erupting into pure delight: "Wait—it’s loose! The pain is almost gone!" He boldly attempted movements previously impossible for him, triggering an eruption of spontaneous, thunderous applause. Those claps celebrated not only the immediate therapeutic effect but also the exquisite technique that bridged ancient wisdom with modern anatomy.

When the final results were announced, our team had achieved outstanding scores. Yet what filled us with even greater pride than medals was how Dr. Fu Hongkun’s masterful live demonstration etched the term "Fu's Subcutaneous Needling"—along with its defining traits of safety, rapid efficacy, convenience, and painlessness—into the minds of every peer present. On the ride back, the team buzzed with excitement, reliving the spectacle of being swarmed by an awestruck crowd. As I gazed at the cityscape whipping past the window, a thought struck me: This humble needle is a microcosm of TCM innovation—rooted in ancient meridian wisdom yet daring to embrace modern anatomical insights, dislodging even the most stubborn pain with featherlight precision. This competition wasn’t just about accolades; it was proof that the river of Chinese medicine thrives precisely because of such trailblazing ripples, its currents forever renewed by those who dare to reimagine tradition.
