title: [Ningbo Renze hospital in modern times].
abstract: After the Opium War in 1842, the Western forces came into China in great numbers. In order to give missionary sermons, the Anglican Mission set up Renze hospital in Ningbo in the 1870s. As the expansionist product of western imperialist powers in China, Renze hospital had colonial characteristics, but the missionaries' medical activities played a certain advocational role in the development of the medical health advancement of Ningbo in modern times, as well as a role in the changes in social values and bad habits.
