On a cold winter's day, my husband and I, dressed in thick cotton coats, walked on the road leading to the Municipal Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital. All along the way, my mood was as gloomy as the rainy sky above. After months of married life, I never would have dreamed that my husband would say such an unexpected thing to me last night. He repeatedly emphasized: "You must go for a check-up, this is no trivial matter. Don't worry about being shy, you absolutely must go."
