Chapter 14: Bad News

Edward? Hu Mei, formerly known as Edward? Hume. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

This name is probably relatively unfamiliar to most Chinese, like the German Erich in Shanghai? Baolong is the same. But when it comes to schools related to them, they are famous in the medical community of ********: Edward? Changsha Xiangya, founded by Hu Mei, Xiangya School of Medicine of Central South University, and Erich? Shanghai Tongji, founded by Baolong, later moved to Wuhan and became Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology.

In fact, most of China's top medical schools have some connection to foreigners.

For example, among the eight oldest and most prestigious universities, apart from Xiangya and Tongji, Peking University Medical School has the least relationship with foreigners. The predecessor of Beijing Medical College was the National Beijing Medical College, and later mergers, splits, and mergers were constantly formed to form the Peking University School of Medicine and the Xi'an Jiaotong University School of Medicine in Xi'an. The other is the School of Medicine of Fudan University in Shanghai, which was founded by the Chinese themselves, and the founder is Yan Fuqing, the one who is now studying at Huntelaar University.

In fact, Fudan University School of Medicine is also inseparable.

If in the original history, Yan Fuqing graduated from St. John's in Shanghai, and later returned to Yale for further study. And at the earliest, Yan Fuqing was actually the first president of Xiangya, but later because he was dissatisfied with the control of the Americans, he went to Shanghai to found the later Fudan University School of Medicine. At that time, in addition to himself, Yan Fuqing also poached a large number of his own students from Xiangya, that is, the elites trained by Xiangya Medical College, which formed the skeleton of Fudan University School of Medicine......

As for the other four, West China Medical College of Sichuan University is run by British, American and Canadians; The School of Medicine of Sun Yat-sen University has been merged several times, and it was originally run by the Americans; There are several predecessors of Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine, and the main St. John's Medical College is also run by Americans; Needless to say, Rockefeller's largest philanthropic investment in the world is well-known in China and even in Asia......

So when John heard about the Yale-China Institute, he immediately got in touch with them.

Under his command, there is a special person who communicates closely with the Yale-China Institute every year. So when John learned that the Yale-China Institute was preparing to open a hospital in China, and had chosen Changsha to find a host, John immediately thought of Edward? Hu Mei - the founder of Xiangya Hospital and Xiangya Medical College!

In his last life, John once read Hu Mei's biography.

For this American who went to Changsha in his heart, John really admired it very much. Xiehe was undoubtedly the best hospital and medical school in China at that time, but at the beginning, only Xiangya could compete with Xiehe, so the Americans evaluated China's medical schools, and Xiehe and Xiangya scored the highest, leaving the saying that North Concord and South Xiangya.

Hu Mei, the founder of Xiangya, is of great importance.

However, Xiangya Medical College in Changsha is not in John's three university plans. Xiangya is a Yale business, and John is reluctant to meddle except for a certain amount of financial support. The three universities he has planned, one in Shanghai, one in Nanjing, and the other in Hangzhou! In fact, John originally did not plan to set up a school in Shanghai, after all, there are many future universities here, and it is better to go to the inland areas where they are more needed. However, considering the current situation, what Huntelaar Bank can take into account for the time being is the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, so it can only do so first.

In John's plan, these three universities will become places of great talent.

The Huntelaar primary, junior and senior high schools, which have been built in Jiangsu and Zhejiang and are constantly expanding, will provide a steady stream of high-quality students to the three universities. Graduates from the three universities, as well as graduates from other Chinese universities, will be given the opportunity to further develop their abilities at prestigious universities in Germany and the United States. In addition, thousands of them are now, and tens of thousands of children will return as top talents in the future......

The picture is so beautiful that John is going to get drunk when he thinks about it.

Of course, John did not forget that in addition to training these college students, China is now more lacking in skilled workers, so after the three universities open for enrollment, at least ten technical schools will also begin to prepare. They have lower entry thresholds and fees, and even free admission, and can work in designated factories after graduation in the future......

At this time in 1904, John was doing everything he could.

John never cared about how much money he could gain from these investments in the future, and he would even use the proceeds in the United States to support it. He only hopes that in this special era, he can use money and these practices that he thinks are useful to bring some things to China......

……

April 17, 1904, was John's 36th birthday.

According to Anna's plan and arrangement, a small banquet would be held at the home on this day, to which John's closest friends would be invited. With a scale of less than 100 people, it is definitely low-key in this era of luxury.

So on the 16th, the house was busy.

"Well, I can't get used to it until now."

As he accompanied Anna through the preparations, John shrugged his shoulders and smiled, "Maybe I'll never understand how much people and things are needed to prepare a banquet!" I can't understand the idea of preparing for a month or more in order to attend a banquet...... It's like when I attended the Marquis de Mance's ball, but it took a lot of effort for Mr. Butler. ”

In John's view, he may never be able to truly integrate into the world.

"You don't need to understand, just watch."

With a slight smile, Anna involuntarily grabbed John's arm—and she remembered the first time she met John.

Feeling the temperature of the people around her, Anna's eyes suddenly became trance-like.

Before you know it, twenty years have passed in a flash. In the space of twenty years, John has gone from being a sharp teenager to the business tycoon, scientist and physician he is today; And Anna herself has changed from a young girl to a focus in New York City today, a wealthy lady that everyone envies.

From Berlin to New York, from 1884 to 1904.

The wonder of life made Anna tighten her hands again after a short trance.

Just when their hearts were warm, the old butler, Mr. Elber, suddenly stumbled over and shouted in a panic, "Sir, madam, ...... Fast! Mr. Huntelaar, he fainted! ”

"What?!"

Turning around suddenly, John's heart suddenly became depressed, and he panicked for a moment. (To be continued.) )
