I don’t know the DNA test you are using but in general they are saliva based or slime from the inside of the mouth. Usual pretty straight forwards and no medical knowledge is required.
Normally these test come with clear instructions how to use them so simply wait for it to arrive and read the instructions.
In the unlikely case that qualified medical staff is required you can try:

Forums > Living in Kunming > Electronic parts shop in Kunming?

The shops mentioned in the original posts from 12 years ago have long since gone. They never were real electronic component shops to start with but just sold some odd computer parts.
Even “Computer street” itself ( BeiMenJie) is only a shadow of what it used to be. As michael2015 said; all this stuff has gone online only.
One online shop that sells simple kits to make your own electronic gadgets is:

Their clocks are quite nice to make:

Flight carrying 132 crashes in Guangxi

By LUO WANGSHU | chinadaily.com.cn | Updated: 2022-03-21 16:12

A China Eastern Airlines aircraft carrying 132 people crashed in Southern China's Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region on Monday, the Civil Aviation Administration of China said.

The plane was traveling from Kunming, capital of Yunnan province, to Guangzhou, capital of Guangdong province. Air traffic controllers lost track of the plane in Wuzhou, Guangxi. The flight was carrying 123 passengers and nine crew members.

The administration initiated the nation's emergency response mechanism and dispatched a working group to the crash site to investigate. No information concerning casualties was available.

A village official who participated in the on-site rescue said the plane had completely disintegrated and he did not see remains of the victims at the scene, according to Chutian Metropolis Daily - a newspaper based in Wuhan, Hubei province.

Forums > Living in Kunming > COVID 19 vaccine for foreigners

A friend of mine pointed out that the info I presented above might not be applicable for all foreigners.

I have a permanent residence permit and I am therefore treated like a Chinese in these matters.

For people on other visa things might be different.

Just a suggestion. Make a screenshot of the message and use WeChat translate to translate it.

Somebody seems to be reading this blog because the horrible androids have been replaced in my elevator with a more human looking model in a for the rest same advertisement.
The website of mylike still has the androids on it. One even in a very irritating overlay but then in a mirror image.

First of all statistics in China don't mean a thing so this whole article becomes irrelevant.

In the elevator of my apartment block there is, since a few days, hanging an advertisement of Mylike aesthetic medicine which looks to be offering cosmetic surgery. On it the usual before and after pictures of two girls. As usual both are Photoshopped for maximal effect. Before a girl with a very strange shape of the face and a terrible skin condition and of course rather brown. After a scare synthetic construction with a milk white skin without a single blemish. The after shots are so Photoshopped that they become caricatures. Every time I am in the elevator I can't stop myself from looking at it because it is so hideous. Still I try to remember the name because even after the most terrible accident and with a completely burned face I still don't want to receive cosmetic surgery at this place.

@mPRin
You are mistaken there. It is not only foreigners that have the 500 kuai deposit, everybody who borrows none Chinese books has to pay this. If foreigners only wish to borrow Chinese books they pay the standard deposit.
The value of the books you borrow is not allowed to surpass your deposit. This means that I am regularly restricted in the amount of books I can borrow so I wish I could pay even a higher deposit but this is apparently not possible.
