  In the ‘Jing Yuan’ in Santa Lucija by the Mediterranean Sea, in front of the free medical consultation booth of China Medical Aid Team to Malta, Zhou Wenting, a teacher from Nantong Health College of Jiangsu Province, was explaining the theories of moxibustion to a white-haired old woman in fluent English. As a member of the 20th China Medical Aid Team to Malta, Zhou Wenting worked as an interpreter, publicity liaison, cultural ambassador, etc. 

  Zhou Wenting accompanied the leader of the medical team in the meeting with Marco Agius, Mayor of Cospicua, and facilitated the implementation of cooperation programs including free medical consultations, and health lectures with professional translation. Mayor Marco Agius praised her as ‘seamless communication, greatly enhanced mutual trust’. The meeting not only deepened mutual understanding and friendship, but also laid a good foundation for future promotion of traditional Chinese medicine culture in Malta and improvement of public health awareness. 

  In the free medical consultation in Santa Lucija, Zhou Wenting not only undertook the interpretation task, but also explained treatments including acupuncture and plaster to old people. By recording cases such as 79-year-old Chetina Bonici Livori trying acupuncture to treat rheumatism and 68-year-old Miriam Chutayal falling in love with acupuncture, the efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine was presented in the view of patients. 

  From clinic account management to purchasing supplies for the base, from propaganda to communication and exchanges, Zhou Wenting efficiently coordinated daily work, to ensure that the medical team had no worries.

    在地中海畔的桑塔露琪亚市“静园”内，中国援马耳他医疗队的义诊台前，南通卫生高职校的教师周雯婷正用流利的英语向一名白发老人解释艾灸原理。作为第20期援马耳他医疗队成员，周雯婷兼任翻译、宣传联络员、文化使者等多重身份。

    周雯婷陪同医疗队队长与科斯皮夸市市长马尔科·阿吉乌斯会谈，以专业翻译促成义诊、健康讲座等合作计划落地，马尔科·阿吉乌斯市长称赞其“沟通零障碍，让双方信任倍增”。此次会谈不仅加深了双方的了解和友谊，也为未来中医文化在马耳他的普及以及民众健康意识的提升奠定了良好基础。

    在桑塔露琪亚市义诊中，周雯婷不仅承担口译任务，更主动向老年群体讲解针灸、膏药等疗法。通过记录79岁切蒂娜·博尼奇·利沃里尝试针灸治疗风湿病、68岁米里娅姆·丘塔亚尔爱上艾灸等案例，以患者视角呈现中医疗效。

    从诊所账目管理到驻地物资采买，从宣传到对外联系交流，周雯婷高效统筹日常事务，保障医疗队无后顾之忧。
