Renaat Morel is a Belgian businessman living in Beijing. Morel said, “I have a minor problem on my hip, and we know the doctor, so I asked her one time what’s the issue, she said, yes, but it’s not this part, you can walk normal, so it must be something in your back, and we will do acupuncture in your back and we will see. So, it’s very easy.”
