About Shi Jinmo

Lived 1881 – 1969 (aged 88). Shi Jinmo was a Chinese physician.

Shi Jinmo (; 28 March 1881 – 22 August 1969), former name Shi Yuqian , courtesy name Jiangsheng (奖生), was a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine. He advocated the integration of traditional Chinese medicine into Western modern medicine.

Along with Wang Fengchun, Xiao Longyou, and Kong Bohua, Shi was known as one of the "Four Famous Doctors of Beijing" (北京四大名医), as they headed the Beijing Traditional Chinese Medicine Examination as chief examiners since 1935.

Due to the ominous political atmosphere, Shi attained his belief that "if one can not be a good minister, be a good doctor", and thus concentrated on his medical practice. He broke one character in his name, Qian , and adopted Jinmo as his name, incarnating the spirit of "shared love" of Mozi and the medicinal canon of Mozi.

Shi was persecuted in Cultural Revolution. His health seriously deteriorated in spring 1969, and he died on 22 August in Beijing.

Family Shi financed his niece Lu Shijia's studies at the University of Göttingen in Germany under Ludwig Prandtl. Lu later became a renowned physicist who founded the aerodynamics program at Beihang University, the first in China.
