Wu Zhongxin (dr. joanne ng) is based in Shunde, Guangdong, China, and his father came to Britain from Hong Kong in the early years. Born in 1979, she grew up in the "city of Newcastle on the River Tyne".

In 2002, He graduated from the University of Dundee School of Medicine and completed an internship at Sheffield Children Hospital. She is a Doctor of Medicine, currently a attending paediatric physician, a Fellow of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health, recruited by the Royal Hospital Authority in 2013 to work as a Medical And Metallurgical Department, and is currently a Senior Research Fellow at the University of London School of Medicine.

Wu Zhongxin usually pays great attention to information related to China, and Wu Zhongxin's colleagues probably have an impression of China, such as a vast country, a mysterious ancient civilization, and so on, "They always ask me how to pronounce the name of Chinese!" They all know Chinese New Year, dragon dances, and of course Chinese food. ”

Approaching the Spring Festival, people become excited and busy, and the "New Year's flavor" in the air is getting stronger and stronger. The Tradition of the Wu family for decades is to go to their parents' homes on the Day of the Spring Festival to celebrate the New Year and welcome the New Year together. Wu Zhongxin said: "Although I was born and raised in the UK, I have felt that the Spring Festival is the most grand festival of the year for decades. ”

In the Spring Festival of 2021, the British epidemic prevention measures affected by the epidemic are still strict, and the New Year's Eve celebration of the original family reunion can only be arranged in the "cloud", and families can send their thoughts on the Internet.

"Spring Festival is the most important festival of the year, the Spring Festival is to get rid of the old and welcome the new, to give people a new encouragement, new expectations and new goals."

Wu Zhongxin said that in the traditional culture that has been passed down in China for thousands of years, the "Spring Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival" are very meaningful festivals, they are an important element in cultivating the ethics of family affection and maintaining family harmony, and they are also her constant emotions with China.
