孔丽青，号福顺子。认识她的人，很难把眼前这个面色红润、步履轻快的女人，和几年前那个连梳头都抬不起胳膊的诊所医生联系在一起。

她的故事，要从大山里说起。

Kong Liqing, also known by her art name Fu Shunzi. People who know her can hardly connect this ruddy-cheeked, brisk woman with the clinic doctor who could not even lift her arm to comb her hair only a few years ago.

Her story begins deep in the mountains.

一、走出大山

孔丽青出生在偏远山区的一个农民家庭。小时候，天不亮父母就下地，到天黑才拖着疲惫的身子回来。她蹲在田埂上写作业，抬头就是连绵的大山。”一定要走出大山”，这个念头像一颗种子，在她心里扎了根。

1988年，她考上中专，成了村里少有的读书人。四年后毕业，被分配到一家工厂。那是一家正在走下坡路的工厂，车间里机器轰鸣，日子一眼望得到头。

转机来自家庭。她的公公婆婆是医院退休医生，退休后在家开了间私人诊所。两位老人看她聪明肯学，劝她报名参加成人高考，走学医的路。1999年，孔丽青通过成人高考，进入医学院脱产班学习。毕业后取得执业医师资格，回到家中协助经营诊所。那些年，她一路考到中级职称主治医师，诊所也经营得有声有色。

但代价，是身体。

I. Stepping Out of the Mountains

Kong Liqing was born into a farming family in a remote mountainous area. When she was little, her parents left home before dawn to work in the fields and returned exhausted after dark. She did her homework sitting on the ridge of farmland, with rolling mountains stretching out before her eyes. The thought “I must get out of these mountains” took root in her heart like a seed.

In 1988, she was admitted to a secondary technical school, becoming one of the few educated young people in her village. Four years after graduation, she was assigned to work in a factory that was on the decline. The workshop echoed with roaring machines, and her future seemed predictable and unchanging.

A turning point came through her family. Her parents-in-law were retired hospital doctors who ran a private clinic at home after retirement. Seeing that she was bright and eager to learn, they encouraged her to sign up for the adult college entrance examination and pursue a career in medicine. In 1999, Kong Liqing passed the exam and enrolled in a full-time program at a medical college. After graduation, she obtained her practicing physician qualification and returned home to help run the clinic. Over those years, she obtained the professional title of attending physician at the intermediate level, and the clinic thrived.

But the cost was her health.

二、垮掉的身体

诊所的工作强度，外人很难想象。从早到晚，病人一个接一个，她几乎没有停下来的时候。中午扒两口饭，下午又坐回诊桌。长期高压、超长时长的诊疗，一点点掏空了她的身体。

先是失眠。整夜整夜睡不着，人变得焦虑易怒。然后是下肢沉重乏力，走路像灌了铅。最严重的是肩膀——肩关节活动受限，炒菜拿不住锅铲，抬手梳头成了奢望。夜里睡觉，必须把患病的手压在背上才能勉强入睡。夜尿也越来越频繁。

她去做了全面检查。结果显示：没有任何器质性病变。”查不出问题，那就是累的。”她这样想，于是关停了诊所，在家休养。可休息了很久，身体并没有好转，那些不适像影子一样跟着她。

那是她人生中最灰暗的一段日子。”生活和工作，一团糟。”她后来这样形容。

II. A Body Broken Down by Exhaustion

Few outsiders can imagine the intensity of work at the clinic. Patients came one after another from morning till night, leaving her barely any time to rest. She rushed through a quick lunch and returned to her consultation desk in the afternoon. Long-term high pressure and extremely long working hours gradually drained her strength.

Insomnia struck first. She lay awake night after night, growing anxious and irritable. Then her lower limbs felt heavy and weak, as if filled with lead when she walked. The most severe problem was her shoulder: her shoulder joint had limited mobility. She could not hold a spatula while cooking, and lifting her hand to comb her hair became an unattainable luxury. At night, she had to tuck her aching arm behind her back just to fall asleep. She also needed to get up to urinate more and more frequently.

She underwent a comprehensive medical check-up. The results showed no organic lesions. “No detectable disease — that means it’s all from overwork,” she thought. She closed her clinic to rest at home. Yet even after a long break, her condition failed to improve, and those discomforts lingered like a shadow.

That was the darkest period of her life. “My life and work were in a complete mess,” she recalled later.

三、遇见恩师

一个偶然的机会，她接触到了传统康养的调理方法。抱着试试看的心态，她开始学习和自我调整。

变化是慢慢发生的。失眠减轻了，肩膀的活动度一点点恢复，下肢的沉重感也在消退。她第一次意识到，原来身体的问题，可以用这样的方式来解决。

也就是在这个过程中，她遇到了刘轩延先生——轩延道创始人、中医康养文化传承人。

跟随刘轩延先生系统研习中医养生文化，成了孔丽青人生的转折点。她像一块干涸的海绵，贪婪地吸收着传统康养智慧的养分。师父走到哪里，她跟到哪里；不同地域、不同气候环境下的康养思路，她都一一记录、体会。南方的湿热与北方的燥寒，在她的笔记里变成了一条条具体的调理原则。

那段时间，她边研习边自我调理。身体的各项不适，在日复一日的践行中慢慢消退。更让她惊喜的是，不只是身体——情绪、性格、整个人的精神面貌，都在悄然改变。以前遇事容易着急上火，如今学会了先沉下心来想一想。

“以前人家说按摩能调理症状，我根本不信，觉得是吹牛皮。”她笑着说，”真正走进来才知道，这里面的智慧深着呢。”

III. Meeting Her Mentor

By chance, she came across conditioning methods of traditional wellness. Deciding to give them a try, she began to learn and adjust her body.

Changes came slowly. Her insomnia eased, the mobility of her shoulder gradually recovered, and the heavy sensation in her legs faded away. For the first time, she realized that physical troubles could be addressed in such a way.

It was during this journey that she met Mr. Liu Xuanyan, founder of Xuanyan Dao and inheritor of traditional Chinese wellness culture.

Systematically studying traditional Chinese wellness culture under Mr. Liu Xuanyan marked a turning point for Kong Liqing. Like a dry sponge, she eagerly absorbed the wisdom of traditional wellness. Wherever her mentor went, she followed. She recorded and experienced wellness principles adapted to different regions and climates. The damp heat in southern China and dry cold in the north were turned into specific conditioning rules in her notebooks.

During this period, she studied while regulating her own health. Her physical discomforts faded day by day through consistent practice. What surprised her even more was the transformation beyond her body: her emotions, temperament and overall mental state were quietly changing. She used to get flustered and angry easily when troubles arose; now she learned to calm down and think before reacting.

“Once, when people said massage could relieve symptoms, I would not believe it at all and thought it was empty boasting,” she said with a smile. “Only after stepping into this field did I find how profound the wisdom here is.”

四、一家人的变化

孔丽青的家人，是她研习中医养生文化最直接的受益者。

她的丈夫，在她拜师之前确诊鼻咽癌，第一时间接受了放化疗。治疗结束一年后，孔丽青开始用从师父那里学到的康养方法，为丈夫调理术后身体。坚持了多年，丈夫的状态越来越好。

她的女儿曾出现明显的情绪相关健康问题，孔丽青全程用东方智慧帮助孩子走出困局。

还有她年迈的父母。这几年，她一直坚持用康养方法为二老调理日常身体。两位老人近几年几乎没有到医院输过液、打过针，整体健康状态保持得很稳定。

一家人的变化，让她更加坚定了这条路。

IV. Transformations of the Whole Family

Kong Liqing’s family members were the most direct beneficiaries as she studied traditional Chinese wellness culture.

Before she took her mentor as her teacher, her husband was diagnosed with nasopharyngeal carcinoma and immediately received chemoradiotherapy. One year after treatment ended, Kong Liqing began to apply the wellness methods she learned from her mentor to help him recover after surgery. After years of consistent conditioning, her husband’s health got better and better.

Her daughter once suffered obvious health issues linked to emotional disturbance. Kong Liqing helped her child walk out of hardship entirely with the wisdom of oriental wellness.

She also cared for her elderly parents with wellness therapies in recent years. Over these years, the two seniors have rarely needed intravenous drips or injections in hospital, maintaining stable overall health.

The positive changes in her whole family strengthened her resolve to stay on this path.

五、落地小院

“康养理念终究要落地。”孔丽青说。

她的落地方式，是与同道中人一起经营云南昆明深山里的康养小院。

在小院里，她把这些年跟随师父学到的康养知识，变成了可触摸、可体验的日常——饮食、起居、情志、运动，每一样都有讲究。清晨带着客人在院子里练习深呼吸，午后一起备一餐时令养生饭，傍晚围坐喝茶聊天。来小院的人，不只是来调理身体，更是来感受一种生活方式。

V. Building a Wellness Courtyard

“Wellness philosophies have to be put into practice,” Kong Liqing said.

Her way of implementation is running a wellness courtyard deep in the mountains of Kunming, Yunnan, together with like-minded peers.

Inside the courtyard, she turns the wellness knowledge learned from her mentor over the years into tangible, daily experiences: diet, daily routines, emotional regulation and physical exercises, all following careful principles. Early in the morning, she guides guests to practice deep breathing in the yard. In the afternoon, they prepare seasonal nourishing meals together. In the evening, everyone sits around chatting over tea. Visitors come to the courtyard not merely to regulate their bodies, but to experience a different lifestyle.

如今的孔丽青，睡眠好了，吃得香了，穿得舒服，玩得开心。”莫名其妙，性格都变了。”她这样说自己。

从山区女孩到主治医师，从积劳成疾到中医养生文化传承人，孔丽青的人生，完成了一次彻底的转身。她常说自己是”医养追梦人”——这个梦，她追得踏实，也追得心甘情愿。

“找到自己真正热爱的事，什么时候都不晚。”她说这话的时候，窗外的阳光正好落在小院的石板上，暖洋洋的。

Today, Kong Liqing sleeps soundly, eats well, lives comfortably and enjoys her life. “Strangely enough, even my personality has changed,” she says of herself.

From a mountain girl to an attending physician, and from burnout to an inheritor of traditional Chinese wellness culture, Kong Liqing has completed a thorough transformation of life. She often calls herself “a dream chaser for medical and wellness integration”. She pursues this dream steadily and wholeheartedly.

“It is never too late to find what you truly love.” As she speaks, sunlight falls warmly on the stone slabs in the courtyard outside the window.
