Dr. Chen Lifu(1899-2002) honored the first anniversary in 1994 by presenting a work of calligraphy representing the center’s name.

In 1929, Dr. Chen, a prominent politician, convinced the government to withdraw the abolishment of Chinese medicine. Subsequently, the government founded the Institute of Chinese medicine in the capital, which was a crucial step for the continual presence of Chinese medicine in China.
