As the cradle of China’s modern medicine and integrated Chinese-Western medicine, Shanghai holds unparalleled historical importance in Chinese healthcare. By 1949 when the People’s Republic was founded, nearly half of China’s modern medical resources were concentrated in Shanghai, presenting a unique cosmopolitan landscape - hospitals with missionary origins coexisted with institutions established by Chinese pioneers and various foreign communities. Remarkably, over 50% of the nation’s top-tier medical professors were then based in Shanghai. This concentration of expertise enabled Shanghai to play a pivotal role in establishing over a dozen medical colleges across China during subsequent decades. Many of these Shanghai-established institutions(Such as Wuhan Tongji Medical University, Huaqiao University, Chongqing Medical Univeristy, Anhui Medical University, Kunming Medical Univeristy, Hainan Medical University, Bengbu Medical University, Ningxia Medical University), as well as Beijing-based healthcare departments like Beijing Hospital, have evolved into China’s most prestigious medical schools today. Such extraordinary historical accumulation cemented Shanghai’s distinctive status in Chinese medical advancement, where international medical heritage blended with indigenous innovation, creating enduring impacts that continue to shape China’s healthcare system and medical education.

This platform is a public welfare website dedicated to health and wellness, established in 2014, with its corresponding WeChat official account “晔问仁医” launched in 2016. 

Under the policy environment actively promoted by the government for medical humanities, this platform has spent 10 years conducting in-depth face-to-face interviews with over 3,000 department heads and deputy chief physicians from top-tier hospitals in Shanghai, as well as more than 1,500 compassionate doctors from across the country. It has completed nearly 2,500 literary works related to the humanities of famous doctors and medicine (of which about 1,000 “Biographies of Compassionate Doctors” are published on the “晔问仁医” WeChat official account, open to the public, covering 280 subspecialties). The platform actively constructs positive doctor-patient relationships through practical actions, conveys positive social energy, and all listed articles have been recognized by the recorded experts or their institutions.

After 10 years of solid work and practice, this platform has become a well-known institution in the field of doctor interviews and medical humanities in China, recognized by the government and medical institutions, and has become a beloved medical humanities platform among clinical medical workers in Shanghai.

Since the inception of this platform, the company has always “adhered to the principle of being based in Shanghai and serving the whole country, doing what it can for Chinese doctors, Chinese patients, and the Chinese medical industry, making medicine more beautiful.” Since 2021, “晔问仁医” has set higher and more specific requirements: “Based in Shanghai, serving the whole country, doing professional medical humanities, warm medical science popularization, and innovative medical transformation,” actively participating in various government-led initiatives that help promote national health, advance medical humanities, and contribute to the development of China’s medical industry, diligently serving to make China’s medical cause warmer, more compassionate, and more welcoming.
