This comprehensive book delves into the intricate and profound history of how Chinese individuals have been observed, transformed, and treated as patients in modern times, extending from the late Qing Dynasty. The title "sick man of East Asia" serves as a metaphor not only for the mistreatment of Chinese people but also as a catalyst for their own nationalistic social change. It highlights the fact that treatment goes beyond mere medical procedures and becomes a focal point for political and social system reform. The behavior of individuals in receiving treatment has seamlessly integrated into the broader group political movement. By examining the historical conflict between Chinese and Western medicine, this book presents vivid images of missionaries, midwives, sitting doctors, doctors, practitioners, barefoot doctors, politicians, and social reformers of Western medicine. It sheds light on another historical facet of China's social transformation and reveals the intricate interplay between modern political evolution and traditional medical factors. Through its detailed analysis, this book offers a comprehensive understanding of the complex dynamics that have shaped the healthcare landscape in China over the past centuries.
