Shanghai Hutchison Pharmaceuticals Ltd is passionate about bringing education to children in rural communities in China. It recently built its 84th library in the country. This repository of learning is in Chengkou, a rural county in the mountains of southwest China and far from the madding crowd. Volunteers from the company were led on this expedition by company president Zhou Junjie.
Zhou made good use of his knowledge of Chinese medicine by conducting a course on traditional Chinese medicines to introduce the concept to children and perhaps inspire them to become healthcare practitioners and to learn more about their Chinese heritage.
