Zhao Ronghua and his younger brother, whose ancestors migrated from Guangzhou Province, have respectively operated two clinics of Chinese medicine in Southern area and Northern area of Djakarta, capital of Indonesia.

Before that, Chinese medicine was only passed down from ancestors.” said Zhao Ronghua. Zhao added that Chinese medicine is becoming increasingly popular in Indonesia.
