Dr. Chen Jirui (陈集瑞, 1930–2004) was a Chinese research scientist, medical doctor, and teacher.[1] He played a key role in introducing traditional Chinese medicine to English-speaking medical professionals. His book Acupuncture Case Histories from China was listed as "essential reading" for the California State Acupuncture Board.
Professional life
Chen graduated from Peking Union Medical College (北京协和医学院-中国医学科学院) in 1957. In the early 1980s, he was one of the founders of the Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine, the first English-language periodical on TCM published in China. He was also a member of the China Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine (中国中医科学院).
He was co-editor (with Nissi Wang) of Acupuncture Case Histories from China (Eastland Press, 1988), a book which marked "the first original collection of acupuncture case histories in English. It includes over one hundred case histories, contributed by prominent acupuncture practitioners in China."[2]
