Abstract

This study examines the significant contributions of Hume in the early twentieth-century, focusing on his establishment of the first Western medical institutions in China and his deep engagement with Chinese medical communities. It explores how Hume's experiences led to a profound appreciation for Chinese culture and medicine, marking him as a key figure in the introduction of Chinese medicine to the West. Through analysis of Hume's interactions and the historical context of China's modernization, the paper offers fresh insights into the East–West exchange and Hume's transformation from a missionary to a pioneering advocate of Chinese medicine.
