Mongol Healer

By: Wei, Regina L.

The derogatory Mandarin phrase M nggǔ d ifu, Mongol healer, means charlatan. It is what a celebrated qigong master calls Grandma W , his quiet neighbor in the adjoining courtyard. He has status, credentials, and followers. W has none of these, and yet people find healing in her presence.

When a young Chinese American yoga teacher named Natalie appears at W 's door weary and searching, W recognizes a familiar ache. As she welcomes her inside, the past resurfaces: the violence of the Cultural Revolution, exile in Inner Mongolia, and a hard-won understanding of what it means to be whole.

A literary journey from the unforgiving steppes to modern Beijing, Mongol Healer explores trauma, resilience, the courage it takes to keep one's heart open - and reveals how easily power can disguise itself as authority.
