EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in the history of medical education in China. The image showcases a group of medical students at Tientsin, who were being trained by a British missionary during the late 19th century. The photograph provides a glimpse into the cross-cultural exchange that took place between China and Great Britain during this period. It is evident that these Chinese doctors-in-training were eager to learn from their British mentor, as they stand attentively in their traditional attire. The image holds historical importance due to its association with the book "China of Today or The Yellow Peril" edited by Charles N Robinson. This publication shed light on the growing tensions between East and West, particularly emphasizing fears surrounding Asian influence on Western societies. In an era when Asia was often portrayed as a threat to Europe's dominance, this photograph challenges stereotypes by showcasing collaboration and mutual respect between cultures. It serves as a reminder that knowledge knows no boundaries, transcending geographical limitations. As we reflect upon this image, it prompts us to appreciate the efforts made by individuals like this British missionary who dedicated themselves to training future generations of Chinese doctors. Their legacy lives on through these determined medical students whose aspirations are captured forever within this timeless photograph.
