Dr. Virgil Hart: Man on a Mission

Virgil Hart, a dedicated Superintendent for Methodist Missions, played a pivotal role in establishing Western hospitals and girls' schools in Sichuan Province from 1866 to 1901. His mission was driven by a deep faith and a commitment to provide medical care and education to underserved Chinese communities, often facing resistance from Qing Dynasty officials and local elites. Despite his significant contributions, his final year was marked by the destruction of his efforts, fueled by prevalent superstitions among the population.
