Martin Albert Haase developed a deep interest in Chinese culture as a child. The Canadian enjoyed practicing tai chi with his mother. He also showed an interest in traditional Chinese medicine（TCM）. After graduating from high school, he entered the Oshio College of Acupuncture & Herbology in Victoria. His teacher then was from Hunan.
“He taught us many interesting things about Hunan, like the great herbalist doctor（中医）Zhang Zhongjing. He also told me that if I wanted to really understand Chinese medicine, I must go to China, so I came to Hunan,” said Haase.
Haase came to study at the Hunan University of Chinese Medicine（HUCM）in Changsha in 2007. Zhong Huan, a professor at HUCM, said that he really liked the Canadian student. “He speaks up in class and often expresses creative ideas,” Zhong said, adding that Haase always asked plenty of questions and attended academic conferences（学术会议）.
After spending nearly 16 years in Changsha, Haase speaks good Chinese. He has a deep understanding of TCM, which he calls a treasure of Chinese civilization（文明）. Haase also likes to practice kung fu and tai chi, which he studies under Zou Zequn, a famous tai chi master in Hunan. Haase practices kung fu and tai chi in a park near his home every morning to keep in shape.
Haase often talks about TCM with his friends. He said that many friends who used to doubt about TCM have now changed their attitude towards it. He said that if he decides to return to Victoria, which is Changsha’s sister city, he plans to open a clinic（诊所）to spread the knowledge of TCM and Chinese culture. He also hopes to introduce kung fu and tai chi to more people to help them build their bodies.
