context_section_description: The college hospital is at Yiji mountain of Wuhu City, Anhui Province, which is next to the Yijishan scenic zone near the Yangtze River. The hospital has a history of more than 120 years since it was founded by American Methodist Episcopal Church in 1888 and is the oldest/continuous western hospital in Anhui Province. The Reverend Dr. Virgil C. Hart bought the property to the surprise of the British Navy, who were negotiating to use Yijishan as a naval base.* It is where many famous medical experts in China once worked, including Wu Shaoqing, Shen Kefei, and Chen Cuizhen. Professor Li Jiren from the Traditional Chinese Medicine department has been awarded the ’National Master of Traditional Chinese Medical Science’ in the first batch of honor name list in China.
