Nanjing General Hospital, formerly known as the National Government Central Hospital, was established in 1929. It is China’s first publicly-run western hospital (so the hospital has a large number of founders or founders of various disciplines, no matter the founders It is also first-class in China). After returning from studying abroad, Zhong Shifan served as the director and deputy dean of the Pediatrics Department of Nanjing Central Hospital. After the Anti-Japanese War, he moved westward to Changsha with the hospital in 1937 (and worked in the Xiangya Medical College. Therefore, later, there were many Hunan experts at the Central Hospital. ), moved to Guiyang in less than a year, Xuan San moved to Chongqing (now the Gaotanyan block of Southwest Hospital of the Third Military Medical University).

After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War in 1945, after the Nationalist Government returned to Nanjing, the original Central Hospital was divided into three: the main part was moved back to Nanjing with the Nationalist Government (the original site of No.305 Zhongshan East Road, Nanjing Military Region General Hospital), and some remained in Gaotanyan, Chongqing (Now the predecessor of the Southwest Hospital of the Third Military Medical University, the boss of Academician Sanli stayed in Chongqing, and he was unwilling to toss his family with his mouth.) Some of them were led by Zhong Shifan and moved to Guangzhou (now the predecessor of Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital), This resulted in several later "central hospitals".

Zhong Nanshan was born in the old building of the Central Hospital (now in the 39th ward of kidney disease, he went to visit it when he returned to Nanjing a few years ago), and lived in the family hospital of Nanjing Central Hospital as a child, which is now Zhong Lan Li (opposite the Meiyuan New Village Memorial Hall, similar to the building in Shikumen, Shanghai, where the main experts and directors of the Central Hospital lived here).

How good is Zhong Nanshan's mother?


Liao Yueqin graduated from Peking Union Medical College, majoring in advanced nursing, and worked in the National Guiyang Medical College. After the founding of the People’s Republic of China, Liao Yueqin served as the deputy dean of the Sun Yat-sen Medical University Cancer Hospital. She was one of the founders of the Guangdong Cancer Hospital. She was sent to Boston to study advanced nursing, and she has another identity—— Zhong Nanshan's mother.

Liao Yueqin is a descendant of the famous Liao family on Gulangyu Island. Gulangyu is a surprisingly small island with many buildings of different styles on a not-so-large island. The Liao’s family located on Zhangzhou Road was once one of the most famous families on Gulangyu Island. From the alley of Liao’s house, about 30 meters to the right, a chic red and white western-style villa greets you. This two-story villa is Grandpa Zhong Nanshan's ancestral home. Here, Zhong Nanshan's mother spent her good teenage years, and did not follow her husband to work in Nanjing until she married Zhong Nanshan's father Zhong Shifan.


October 20, 1936, for pediatrician Zhong Shifan and his beloved wife, it was an unusual day. On this day, their first child was born in Nanjing Central Hospital.

looked at the cute appearance of the child, and the couple named the child Nanshan in accordance with the location of the birthplace. Because Nanjing Central Hospital is located just south of Zhongshan. This purely meaningful name later confirmed this child's image of climbing high mountains, crossing the summit, and constantly transcending himself.

On July 7, 1937, Zhong Nanshan was not yet one year old. In the winter of this year, on the eve of the fall of Nanjing, his father led a family of more than 200,000 people who moved westward with the Kuomintang government to leave Nanjing and head to Guiyang. The itinerary was very laborious, drifting, and sleeping.

recalls the experience more than 70 years ago, Zhong Nanshan seems to have returned to the era of war: "Not long after I was born, our house was bombed by a Japanese plane, the house was bombed, it was his mother and grandmother who risked their lives. Danger, rescued me from the rubble. I heard my aunt said that my face was already dark at the time, and then I slowly gasped. Now I can live, thanks to my mother for giving me a second life "

's mother's encouragement inspired her son's strong self-esteem.

Zhong Nanshan's mother graduated from Concord Advanced Nursing. After graduation, she was sent by the then Department of Health to Boston to study advanced nursing. new ChinaAfter its establishment, he served as the vice president of the current Sun Yat-sen Medical University Cancer Hospital and one of the founders of Guangdong Cancer Hospital.

This mother with good qualities and strong self-esteem not only loves medicine, but also reads many books. She often accompanies two lovely children to play, telling them all kinds of wonderful and moving stories in the book, telling touching and interesting stories in the hospital, hoping that the children can experience the tastes of life from the stories.

Zhong Nanshan's strong self-esteem, sympathy for the weak, and kindness to help others are inherited from his mother and learned from her mother's story. Especially the encouragement of his mother had an important influence on Zhong Nanshan's life.

"I used to skip school when I was in elementary school, my academic performance was poor, and I stayed for two grades. I remembered that there was an exam in the fifth grade, and I got good grades by chance. My mother was very happy to know that, she told me "Nanshan, you are still very good!"" Zhong Nanshan smiled and said: "At that time, I felt that my mother suddenly found one of my highlights. I had self-esteem and felt that someone praised me. Since then, I have Started to study seriously."

However, when the absurd ten years arrived, Liao Yueqin failed to escape the bad luck. In July 1966, Liao Yueqin, then deputy dean of the Sun Yat-Sen Medical University Cancer Hospital, could not bear the humiliation of the Red Guards. Suicide, he was only 56 years old. After Liao Yueqin's death, husband Zhong Shifan kept his wife's ashes at home and accompanied him for 12 years. His wife’s hateful death caused Zhong Shifan's grief, but Zhong Shifan failed to escape his bad luck. He was labeled as a “reactionary academic authority”. As a pediatric master, he lost his job as a doctor. He was assigned to wash bottles in the pediatric department and could not go to the clinic. Being unable to engage in scientific research, Zhong Shifan, who was already in his early years, was both distressed and helpless, and the experience of his parents left scars that could never heal in Zhong Nanshan's heart.
