00:00Life is a journey, it's full of surprises, eventually it will lead you to the right spots.
00:31I started at a time when the media was not very friendly towards traditional Chinese massage.
00:49You see all kinds of stories in the newspaper.
01:04They try to make connections between Chinese massage with erotic massage, and that was totally wrong.
01:12So my purpose to start the business was also to change the image of traditional Chinese massage, because that's something that we're very proud of, and it should be treated fairly.
02:13We are now the biggest wellness chain in the whole world. We have more than 20,000 people working for the whole company. We have more than 400 franchising all over the world.
02:28The special part of Chinese massage is it's basically based on traditional Chinese medicine theory. It's all about a better way of living, a better, healthier lifestyle.
02:42With our massage, instead of using the needle, we're using our fingertips to press in the acupuncture points to stimulate the nerve.
02:55We help to fasten the circulation of your blood.
03:02Our product is our massage, it's their skills.
03:06I can see the moisture in the cups, and also the skin color becomes purple. That means the coldness comes out, so it's really good for you.
03:16And to be a good masseur, it takes ages of theoretical knowledge and practice.
03:23We try to promote health. We try to promote this concept, or this lifestyle.
03:29I would consider myself as a combination of traditional and Western.
03:40The most important things I get from my mom, she's the one that's always pushing me from the back, but in a good way.
03:48She is the most important people in my life.
03:52In the past 16 to 17 years of living in the Netherlands, there are two people really important to me.
03:59They are Fens and Tineke, they're a Dutch couple. I lived in their place for eight years.
04:06They made me feel like I'm not a foreigner, I'm not an outsider, and I have family and a home here.
04:12My ideal way of life is the life I'm having now, to live peacefully and happily and healthily.
