Early life

He followed in the footsteps of one of his ancestors - Prince Kimnara, the Guardian of Principles of the Shaolin Monastery, whose memorial temple is there up to now. His great grandfather was a very respected martial artist at that time. In his early childhood Mingtang learned Chinese medicine, shamanic practices and martial arts from his family and from different teachers. His father was a great doctor of Chinese and Western medicine, and a director of a hospital where, at the age of seven, Mingtang began to diagnose his first patients. At the age of fourteen, he began to take his patients independently. At the age of 16, he left home to study computer science at university in Xian - one of the most prestigious universities in China. During this time he continued to scan and treat patients, including his teacher's father who suffered from Parkinson's disease.
Upon his graduation in 1983, he returned to Henan Province and together with his teacher he began to train intensively at places known for their healing power: the Shaolin Monastery, the Longmen Grottoes, the White Horse Temple, and the Cloud and Frog Mountains. Mingtang's father and teacher urged him to pursue a Master's Degree in Computer Engineering at the prestigious Beijing University. His teacher wanted to him to bring the ancient wisdoms of Qigong and Chinese medicine to modern science. He attended Beijing University, where he graduated at the top of his class, and became the Chief Engineering and Project Director at the Software Laboratory of the National Academy of Science in China.

In 1988, Xu Mingtang founded the Chinese Zhong Yuan Qigong Association and became its president. In 1989, he became an associate professor of the Chinese Research Institute of Human Latent Potentials.
To devote more time to healing, he left his work in China in 1991 and went to Russia, where he started to teach Zhong Yuan Qigong. In the course of several years, he had seminars in all countries of the former Soviet Union and in several countries in Eastern Europe. Each visit to individual countries was joined by a large number of patients who visited him from different parts of the world. In 1992, Mingtang founded the Kiev Traditional Medicine Clinic, which is situated in the centre of the financial and governmental area of Kiev.
In 1996, he was invited to Israel to profess and examine patients. In 1997, Xu Mingtang established a non-profit organization, the International Mingtang Foundation. Through interviews on many television channels he became famous and a very engaged doctor and teacher in Ukraine and the former Soviet Union. The same year, he founded the Department of Oriental and Physical Health at Celjabinsk Physical Education Academy. It offers a five-year study programme focused on the research of Zhong Yuan Qigong and Chinese traditional medicine.
In 1998, Mingtang was invited as a professor of Chinese and Western medicine to the Chinese and Western Medical Joint Hospital and to the Beijing Chinese Medicine University. He also became a board member and Advanced Specialist Consultant of the World Academic Society of Medical Qigong at the Beijing University of Chinese Medicine. In western Europe, he was invited to teach and examine patients in Germany and attended the International conference about Qigong in Malaga, Spain. He also founded the Research Institute of Eastern Medicine in Ukraine.
In 1999, the American Association of Qigong invited Mingtang to teach image therapy to medical workers in the USA. The next year, the Zhong Yuan Qigong Association was established in America. He also founded a clinic in Seattle.
In 2006, Xu Mingtang led the first special retreat for his personal students in Moscow, attended by almost 500 people. In 2007, the US Congress invited Xu Mingtang and Michio Kushi, one of the founders of macrobiotic food, to discuss the topic of alternative medicine. The discussion was directed at improving the health of the population and looking for new medicine methods. Mingtang shared his results in the field of image medicine by healing family members of many congressmen. After this event, the Traditional Chinese Medicine was promoted to the level of Western medicine, which means that a qualified doctor of TCM is in the USA equivalent to a graduated doctor of Western medicine. Before this decision, traditional Chinese medicine was considered to be alternative medicine. A doctor of TCM can have three specializations - phytotherapy, acupuncture, and Qigong. At the same time, Qigong was accepted as the official method of alternative medicine.
In April 2008, the Beijing Kundawell Medicine Institute was opened. Kundawell Medicine Institute receives the first clients for research and a large group of foreign visitors and professional healers who Xu Mingtang taught personally, for two months of intensive training using image therapy. Approximately 50,000 certified image therapy healers have been trained so far.
The main aim of the Kundawell Medicine Institute is the research of chronic diseases which are, according to Western medicine, incurable. Each patient is approached individually so that the cause of the disease and the patient's condition can be examined in order to determine the specific curative method. The Institute cooperates with worldwide specialists of image therapy who are trained by Mingtang, as well as Chinese doctors and specialists of traditional Chinese medicine.
