Chen's six-decade journey in advancing rural health care and primary medicine in China. This memoir recounts Dr. Chen's pioneering efforts in the 1930s to bridge the gap between modern medical knowledge and its practical application in low-income, rural communities. Anchored in his work in Dingxian County, his systematic and community-oriented approach to public health laid the foundation for principles that continue to resonate globally, emphasizing sound health organization, integration of medical services with broader social reforms, and active participation by communities themselves. His work not only improved health outcomes but demonstrated the transformative potential of grassroots involvement in health care delivery. This memoir also situates Dr. Chen's contributions within a broader historical and global context. It highlights the profound influence of his collaboration with international public health pioneers and his subsequent impact on the development of rural health systems worldwide. Despite disruptions like the Japanese invasion of China, the principles tested at Dingxian catalyzed significant progress in China's health indicators post-1950, showcasing the enduring relevance of his work. Written with the collaboration of Frederica M. Bunge, the narrative balances personal insights with historical framing, making it an invaluable resource for health professionals, educators, and policymakers seeking practical solutions for improving rural health care in diverse contexts.

  1. I've ordered from Rarewaves here in the US and the UK multiple times, and continue to do so. They always seem to have something I can't find anywhere else at all or for a reasonable price. When I purchase used items, they are as described, if not a grade better. Aways a quick turnaround after ordering, every item arrives promptly, professionally packaged. Many orders have free shipping, even for solitary item orders. I never needed a reason to communicate, as I've had no cause. Recommended.

  2. Received item as described and packaged well. Listing indicated shipping was free. Ordered on the 7th but by the 14th noticed it hadn’t been shipped yet. Seller responded quickly saying that during the purchase process that it said it would not be shipped until the 22nd because they use a fulfillment house. I don’t recall seeing anything about delayed shipping during the process or in the listing. While I appreciate the prompt response to my inquiry, other buyers should be aware of delays.

  3. The book was brand still plastic wrapped. Looks exactly like the picture for a reasonable price including shipping. In perfect condition. Shipping was slow and I was worried that I was scammed again. Seller did respond to my message after a day and explained the item would be shipped within a week. The item shipping and tracking was updated by the date they stated. Took about 2 weeks to receive item. I’m usually impressed when item is shipped and received within a week.
