Core Tips

China Medical University, formerly known as the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army Military Medical School and the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army Health School, was founded in Ruijin, Jiangxi Province in 1931. It is the only college that runs a school during the Long 25,000 and walks the whole journey. It is one of the earliest universities in my country to carry out Western medical college-style education.

After the Long March, Mao Zedong visited this university 7 times and made 3 reports, leaving a valuable spiritual wealth to the teachers and students of the school and even the medical workers across the country.

 

In 1940, Mao Zedong proposed to change its name to China Medical University

 

In January 1937, Mao Zedong led the central organs stationed in Yan'an. In the same year, the Red Army Health School (the body before the China Medical University), which came from the Long March Road, moved with the troops to Yan Dianzi near Yan'an. On March 8, 1940, he moved to the willow shop outside the east gate of Yan'an. In response to the call of the CPC Central Committee, the school has set up a large auditorium, library, classroom, anatomy, physiology, pathology, microbiology and other laboratories in willow shop.

In the autumn of 1940, Mao Zedong visited the school and made a report for the whole school. Mao Zedong said: "under the leadership of the party, you have grown from a 'health primary school' in the Central Soviet area of Jiangxi Province to a 'health middle school' after the long march. We will be able to defeat the enemy and build a new China. The same is true of your health school, which will definitely develop into a 'health university' in the future '."

Mao Zedong's speech greatly inspired the whole school teachers and students. In this year, with the proposal of Mao Zedong and the approval of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the Red Army Health School was officially renamed "China Medical University". Since then, the name of the school, which has a glorious revolutionary tradition and rich historical connotation, has been used to this day.

On November 12, 1940, Mao Zedong went to the willow store, 7 kilometers away from Yan'an City, to visit Xu Fanting, who was being treated at China Medical University. At that time, the school's new auditorium had just been completed. All teachers, students and staff were gathering in the auditorium to commemorate the first anniversary of Bethune's death. Teachers and students immediately invited Mao Zedong to speak in the auditorium.

Mao Zedong first asked how many students and teachers there were in the school, and then told the students that the revolution needed guns and people who served those who took guns. Mao Zedong encouraged everyone to learn from Dr. Bethune and do more work and contribute more to the revolution. On the question of life and death, he preached that Dr. Bethune was dead and people missed him. If Hitler were dead, people would slap their hands and say, "Yes, good death!"

 

In 1941, Mao Zedong wrote inscriptions for the school twice.

 

In the early summer of 1941, the first graduates of China Medical University, which was renamed after the 14th phase of the school, graduated. The students eagerly hoped that Chairman Mao Zedong would write an inscription as a souvenir. President Wang Bin quickly connected Mao Zedong's phone and asked Mao Zedong to write an inscription for the 14th phase of the graduates in his busy schedule. Mao Zedong immediately agreed to President Wang's request. Mao Zedong used a brush to write 13 strong and powerful characters, "Save the dying and heal the wounded, implement revolutionary humanitarianism", and all the teachers and students of the school were jubilant.

On July 15, 61 graduates of the 14th period were lucky enough to receive their graduation certificates with the inscription "saving the dying and healing the wounded, implementing revolutionary humanitarianism" written by Mao Zedong.

 

From then on, Mao Zedong's inscription was deeply imprinted on the hearts of all teachers and students of the medical university, became the action guide for generations of medical university, and finally became the motto of medical workers across the country.

In 1991, in order to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Mao Zedong's inscription "save the dead and heal the wounded, implement revolutionary humanitarianism" for the Medical University, the faculty and staff of the school donated more than 30000 yuan to build a monument for the inscription. The monument is located in the gate of China Medical University on Nanjing Street in Shenyang City, and it reflects the large sculpture of Mao Zedong on Zhongshan Square in Shenyang not far away.

In July 1941, China Medical University held an exhibition on the 10th anniversary of its founding. Students drew 302 anatomical wall charts and various surgical wall charts with white cloth, 119 teaching aids and models made by faculty and staff, and 5 "sick dogs" demobilized after surgical treatment. Mao Zedong came to the school again and visited the 10th anniversary exhibition of the founding of China Medical University. Mao Zedong was in high spirits and carefully watched the various exhibits. He nodded frequently and inscribed the four characters "well done" on the guestbook, which fully affirmed the glorious history of the Chinese Medical University.

Mao Zedong Encourages Teachers and Students to Serve the People

In 1944, Mao Zedong came to China Medical University to watch the theatrical performance of teachers and students.

One evening after the Spring Festival in 1945, Mao Zedong went to the affiliated hospital of the school to visit Comrade Wang Guanlan. At the invitation of the students, Mao Zedong gave a report to the whole school.

Mao Zedong said wittily, "Didn't your school play the Peking Opera" Three Dacks of Zhujiazhuang "? That's Song Jiang leading thousands of troops down the mountain to fight the world, and we also have to go down the mountain to fight the world for the people. Mao Zedong called on his classmates to be good doctors of Bethune's style.

Mao Zedong often cared about the health of the sick and wounded. One evening in February 1945, he once again came to the Medical University to express his condolences. Have a heart-to-heart talk with teachers and students, teach students to study hard, encourage teachers and students to serve the people, serve the workers, peasants and soldiers with the combination of workers, peasants and soldiers, and learn Bethune's spirit of serving the people wholeheartedly and the wounded and sick. On October 18, the school was ordered by the Military Commission to move from Yan'an, the holy land of revolution, to the northeast. From then on, it began to study in Shenyang.

 

"Guo Moruo is a wit and writes better than me"

 

On March 1, 1950, Chairman Mao Zedong, Premier Zhou Enlai and Ho Chi Minh, leader of the Communist Party of Vietnam, who visited Shenyang on his way back from the Soviet Union, once again inspected the China Medical University, which was the only medical college visited by Mao Zedong after the founding of the people's Republic of China.

When Mao Zedong walked into the office building, he saw the inscription "Save the dying and heal the wounded, and implement revolutionary humanitarianism" written in black on the front wall of the hall. He slowed down and looked up at the inscription from beginning to end.

In the conference room of the Basic Medical College, several long tables are connected together. The tables are covered with white cloth. Mao Zedong sits in the center of the north side, Zhou Enlai sits on the right side of Mao Zedong, and Ho Chi Minh sits on the left side of Mao Zedong.

After listening to the report of China Medical University, Mao Zedong said: "China Medical University, in the past, was the first medical school established by our party and our army. Over the years, it has trained a large number of talents for the Chinese revolution and made contributions to the War of Resistance against Japan and the War of Liberation. Now that the situation has changed, the whole country has been liberated, and the tasks ahead are even more onerous. Education must adhere to the combination of theory and practice, education must serve proletarian politics, and the people's medical university must be run well."

 

President Wang Bin asked Mao Zedong to write the name of the university for China Medical University,When Mao Zedong learned that the original school card was written by Guo Moruo, he modestly said: "Guo Moruo is a gifted scholar and writes better than me, so I will not write. "Mao Zedong did not have the Chinese medical university card. Although it is a historical regret, the noble feelings of the great leader are deeply engraved in the minds of medical university people.

Mao Zedong inspected the school's microbiology, pharmacology, and physiology teaching and research section. When he walked out of the building and stood in front of the door, Sun Zhongyi, a security guard at the school, took a photo of Mao Zedong inspecting China Medical University. This is the only photo Mao Zedong left at the Medical University.

When the photos were developed, one passed from ten to ten, and many teachers, students and employees in the school asked to get Mao Zedong's photos. The school has washed more than 2000 copies, which is not enough. One of the students was about to leave school and offered not to leave school without Mao Zedong's photo. Finally, the school met their requirements.
