How a 2000 year old story gives You direction in life | Bernard HSU | TEDxFuxingPark
As a child of Chinese immigrants raised in the United States, Dr. Bernard grew up hearing stories about the Five Elements from his mother, who also told him that he should develop in the directions of "Wood" and "Water". It was not until he reached adulthood and achieved success that he understood the profound meaning behind these words. For him, Wood represents medicine—his primary profession—while Water symbolizes media, corresponding to his current identity as a content creator. The two are indispensable, each complementing the other.
He elaborated on the various industries associated with each of the Five Elements and the potential connections between them. He urged everyone to learn more from the wisdom of their ancestors, noting that even after thousands of years, this wisdom can still guide our lives and work. Dr. Bernard, known online by the nickname "Chubbyemu", is a toxicologist and medical video creator.
Through the narrative presentation of real medical cases, he teaches medical and human physiology knowledge to over 6 million followers worldwide. His popular science works have exerted significant social impacts: they once helped several top academic hospitals in the United States identify special cases and complete the recruitment for rare disease clinical trials; and promoted the legislative process of the U.S. Veterans' Medical Care Act. He was awarded the title of "Top 100 UP Main" on Bilibili for two consecutive years from 2023 to 2024, won the 2023 Gezhi Science Communication Award, and was honored as Bilibili's "Annual Overseas UP Main" in 2024.
