Mao Zedong showed deep concern for the school’s development. He visited seven times, delivered three addresses, wrote inscriptions on two occasions, and proposed renaming the institution China Medical University. In 1941, his inscription, “Heal the wounded, rescue the dying, and practice revolutionary humanitarianism,” was printed on the graduation certificates of the university’s 14th class. It went on to become a guiding principle for medical workers across China. Large numbers of graduates left for the front and remained dedicated to battlefield medical care. Here, our predecessors forged a revolutionary legacy with their blood and lives, a legacy that has grown stronger through every trial and has been passed down unbroken from generation to generation.
