«“Yang Nianqun’s masterpiece Remaking Patients discusses the influence of modern western medicine on the local medical culture after the entry of modern western medicine into China. Since its publication [in Chinese], it has been widely praised and has been highly valued by the academics from both China and overseas, especially to young scholars.” —Liang Qizi, Director of Institute of Humanities and Social Studies, University of Hong Kong, Fellow of Academia Sinica»
