Today we’ll learn a common Chinese everyday expression: 打工 dǎ gōng.

打工 dǎ gōng


It indicates that one works for others, instead of being an employer or a boss.

People say it often when one is asked to make a decision but he/she does not has the right to do it, it is very good excuse to say so and refuse the request; or one modestly indicates that he/she makes little money not much as you have expected.

打dǎ has many meanings, here it means “fight” or “help” (e.g.: 打不平dǎ bù píng, help victims of injustice); 工 gōng — means work or job.

medicated diet Chinese medicinal cuisine is unique in China and has a long history. Sun Simiao, a leading Tang Dynasty doctor, once said, “Food has the function of eliminating evil influences and soothing the vital organs, cultivating one’s mind and building up one’s strength.” In China, people contend that food tonic is much better than medicine tonic in fortifying one’s health. Based on traditional Chinese herbal medicine practice, it combines strictly processed traditional Chinese medicine with traditional culinary materials to produce delicious food with health restoring qualities. To cook medicinal food, one has a large variety of fine materials to choose from and each material has its own unique flavor. Generally, processed herbal materials are more commonly used in order to avoid strong odors. However, individuals of different physical status need to select different herbs. The selection of herbs will depend on each individual’s condition of health. Due to its herbal nature, it is better to take medicinal food according to the doctor’s prescription.

In the cooking of medicinal food, slow cooking methods such as stewing, braising and simmering are usually used in order to extract more of the herbs’ healing properties.

Typical medicine cuisine:

Baby Pigeon Stewed with Gouqi (Medlar) and Huangqi (Membranous Milk Vetch);
Pork Simmered with Lotus Seed and lily;
Pig’s Kidney Stewed with Eucommia Bark.

Chinese Medical Care
The Chinese medical system comprises mostly of public and private hospitals. Small and personalized clinics are still uncommon.

Most hospitals in China practize the Western medical treatment system while a good percentage practizes Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Increasingly, a large percentage of hospitals also practize a mixture of Western and Chinese medicine.

Seeing a doctor in China
In large Chinese cities such as Shanghai or Beijing, there are increasingly a large number of private clinics that are owned and managed by Western doctors or Chinese doctors who have graduated from a country such as USA or UK. Their treatment and management of patients are along those as practized in these western countries but their fees tend to be high and most of their patients are expatriates working in China and the occasional Western tourist.

Seek out the any English newspaper or magazines available and you’ll usually find an advertisement for a Western clinic. Or ask any China-based expatriate for a recommendation.

Most Chinese will visit a local hospital. If your company doesn’t cover medical expenses or you can’t find a Western clinic because you are in a much smaller town, you can also try visiting a local Chinese hospital.

Chinese medical care system is improving all the time but if you need to visit a doctor in a local hospital, especially in a small city, do be prepared for some cultural shock.

Most hospitals do not speak English. You will need to bring a friend along who does. Local hospitals are still pretty poor in the area of personal privacy and so do not be surprised if you share a consulting room with more than one patient.

Treatment are mostly Western medical techniques including diagnosis, medication, injection or the neccessary scans. However, medications can be a mixture of Western and Chinese drugs.

If you need to be hospitalized, you may be shocked by the low hygiene standard practized in the smaller hospitals and privacy is always a problem as you are likely to share a ward with a few other patients. Visiting hours tend not to be observed and some patients has many visitors that may turned a shared ward into a noisy room. You may find such lapse of privacy a major irritant.

Leading medical research in China
China has a long history of medicine and medical research. Today, it is beginning to stake it’s claim on leading medical research with some highly regarded health research breakthrough including gene therapy treatment for cancer victims.

Dr Lin Dinggang is a famous medical doctor trained in John Hopkins hospital in USA and returned to China to continue serving in the area of gene therapy reseach and treatment for cancer. Dr Lin has achieved much success for the use of Gendicine in treating and fighting cancer with gene treatment. Dr Lin has cured many patients of advanced cancer that many other doctors and hospitals has given up hope on. In fact, Dr Lin is is so famous in successful treatment of advanced and last stage cancer that many foreign patients has made their own way to his hospital in Beijing, China.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)
If you are interested, you may want to visit a hospital or a clinic that specializes in Traditional Chinese Medicine. This include Chinese diagnosis and treatment and may include accupuncture, massage, herbal medicines, heat treatment etc.

TCM has gained international recognition as a viable alternative health treatment method and is even recognized by World Health Organization for it’s effectiveness in the treatment of certain forms of illnesses and diseases.

TCM believes in the ying and yang of the body and it is usually described as ri (heaty) or liang (cooling). When the heaty and cooling elements of the body is not in balance, we fall sick. Chinese herbal medicine is henced prescribed accordingly to the body condition.

If you have a minor ailment such as a cough or flu, Chinese medicine (TCM) is surprisingly effective. Simply enter a medical hall in the streets (looks like a common pharmacy) and they are likely to have a TCM doctor in attendance. Tell them your problem and they are likely to prescribe some herbs for you to boil and drink. Alternatively, they may also have tablet forms of herbal medicine. Take according to prescription and you may be surprised how fast you can recover.

However, if you have a major injury or illness, it is always better to seek Western medical help immediately.

Chinese health belief
Chinese believe in the adage that prevention is always better than cure. Hence, it is very common to see Chinese practize Qi-Gong or Tai-Chi(forms of Chinese martial arts) in parks and gardens to achieve good internal health and strength. You may find further advice in this interesting book.

If you do not have time to pick up such skills, the Chinese always believe that Tui-Na (a form of Chinese massage) and reflexology (Foot massage) can go a long way towards maintaining good health.

The Chinese has a long tradition for Chinese Kung Fu or martial arts. Training injuries are very common and herbal plasters and ointments to treat pain and ache are very popular and effective. If you have pain, arthritis, stiff neck, backache and other pain problem, do visit http://www.quick-pain-relief.com.


The best method to avoid seeing a doctor is not to fall ill. When travelling, get plenty of rest and sleep. Drink plenty of fluid, but in China, try to avoid drinking directly from the water tap. Drink from bottled drinks and always boil the water if your only choice is the tap.

Always eat in a restaurant that has plenty of customers. Avoid restaurants that do not have customers and certainly avoid street stalls.

Travel and Tour Tips for China
China is a large country at a size of 9,596,960 sq km. China was only partially open to the world from 1980 onwards and has been a communist country for many decades. Although there is much progress in the travel industry and infrastructure of China, there remain areas that need to be improved before it can match the level that most tourist would require.

However, much of the fun remain that it is different from the rest of the world. China will be the host nation for the Olympics in Year 2008. Travel facilities and infrastructure will be improving quickly as we approach Year 2008.

China is rich in culture and history. Visit the Great Wall of China in Beijing, sip Chinese tea in Xiamen, dance with ethnic tribes in Yunnan, check out 19th Century European buildings in Qingdao - there are just so much to do and see in China! Go travel China now!

Below are some travel tips to make your travel in China easier:

Apply for Chinese Visa
China require entry visa from most countries. Apply at the Chinese consulate or through your travel agent before travelling to China. Visit our Apply for Chinese Visa section for more information.

Climate in China
Weather can be extremely diverse; tropical in south of China to subarctic in north of China. Check early and be prepared with the right seasonal clothing.

Foreign Exchange in China
The unit of currency in China is known as Renmembi(RMB) or Yuan. Get some Chinese Yuan in your local country before travelling. When in China, exchange foreign currency for local currency in the banks or at the hotel. Banks tend to give slightly better rates than hotels. Take note that some banks close for a noon siesta between 12-2pm.

Payment facilities
Most better class hotels and shopping centres in China take Credit Card or Travellers cheques. Smaller hotels and shops take cash only. Once out of the bigger cities, credit card and ATM cards tend to be almost impossible to utilize. Cash is still king in Chinese business and trade.

Counterfeit notes are common in China. Check carefully before accepting change, especially if it consists mostly 100RMB notes. You can feel a texture difference where counterfeit notes is concerned.

Use of English in China
Most civil servants, custom officials, police, hotel staff and men in the street do not speak English or at best a smattering of English.

Most signboards and notices will carry both English and Chinese. However, be aware that some translations can be so notorious that one can hardly understand what was it’s original Chinese intention.

Do not expect hotels or shops to understand English. Only the very big hotels will have staff that will understand English.

Most young people can understand basic English if you speak slowly.

Social Security in China
China is generally a safe country. However, hang on tight to your wallet especially in crowded, popular tourist sites in tourist cities such as Beijing and Xian.

These tourist cities also has a lot of touts in the streets touting tourist from currency exchange to jewelleries to female companionships. Avoid at all cost! See our China Public Security page for more details.

Domestic Travel within China
Bus, train, ferries and domestic flights in China are quite well developed. Avoid the crowd at thetrain or bus stations and book your tickets through the hotel tour desk or the nearest tour agent. Prices are likely to be competitive and tickets will be delivered to your hotel room. Again, avoid ticket touts who approach you in the streets.

Local buses are cheap (US$0.10 or YS$0.20) and you may want to try out. Taxis are convenient and are available at all hours. Starting fares differ from each city and may be as cheap as US$0.70 in Weihai and US$1.50 in Shenzhen.

Avoid travel in China during peak holiday seasons or book tickets well ahead.

Local Hotels in China
There is a good choice of hotels in China ranging from one star to the most luxurious 6 stars. Most of the time, the rooms are safe and clean and in my opinion, cheap does not mean bad.

There are many websites selling China hotel rooms on the internet. You can also check out the travel counters which are available in most train, bus stations as well as airport.

Book ahead if travelling in peak seasons.

Peak Tourist Seasons in China
Chinese New Year: Date varies but generally late January or early February.
May Day: First two weeks of May
China National Day: Middle two weeks of October

Avoid travelling during these period. Book rooms and travel modes way early if need to travel. Believe me, the crowds during these period of time will be scary. What do you expect when the entire Chinese nation of 8 billion people are on holiday as well!

Chinese Food
Local food is absolutely fabulous. Try as much Chinese food as your wallet or stomach can afford. Restaurants are available everywhere and open to late hours. Most restaurants will have a menu that include photographs of the various dishes. Better yet, simply point at the food that your next door table is having, especially if it looks delicious!

However, avoid street side stalls and drinking directly from the taps if you have delicate stomach.

Telecommunications in China
Mobile phone coverage in China is good in most locations. Global auto-roaming within China is not a problem.

Internet in China
There are cyber-cafes everywhere in China, especially in tourist areas. Most are patronised by young people playing online games but you still can check your Hotmail, Yahoo or Gmail. Access may be a bit slow for international websites.

You will need to show your passport as China has tight regulations at Internet Cyber Cafes.

Toilet facilities in China
One of the worst experience many has with China is the atrocious toilet facilities. Things has improved very much but it may still be a good idea to empty your stomach or bladder at every opportunity in a hotel, restaurant or departmental store. Public toilets and toilets in small shops can be a nose hazard!

* Useful China travel tips *
Try to get a English speaking tour guide at every opportunity you can. China has a rich and wonderful history and culture and without a guide, somehow, the flavour and significance of most tour sites can be lost.

*Sneaky tip: Hang around a group that has a English speaking guide if you cannot afford one!

Always ask for a receipt from a taxi driver so that you can complain if you have been cheated or for tracing purposes if you happen to leave your camera behind in the taxi.

Try to take the namecard for each hotel that you are staying at as these cards will have a Chinese address and the map of your hotel location. This is useful if you need to seek assistance to find your way back as the English version or pronounciation of a hotel or a street name may be quite different from the Chinese version.

After a tiring day, check out Chinese foot reflexology or Chinese TuiNa (Chinese massage). Wonderful for the body after a hard day and very cheap to boot. Simply look out for shop signs that shows two feet! They are everywhere.

Make friends with the Chinese whenever you can. They love to meet foreigners and will make good tour guides. Just buy a small present as a small token of appreciation.
