Chinese Red Army Health School founded in 1931 in Ruijin, Jiangxi). In the 80 years of its history, HMU has inherited Dr. Lian-De Wu’s spirit to “love the motherland wholeheartedly and to succeed through self-help,” and has carried forward Chinese Red Army Health School’s traditions of firm political belief and excellent medical expertise. The motto of today's HMU encourages “integrity with principles and constant learning to advance medical practice.” HMU has been fast growing in terms of clinical and academic strength and has become a top ranking medical school with a large training capacity and distinctly characteristic training programs and curriculum design.
