Abstract

Looking back at modern China's 100-year history of forensic science education, we have found a number of forensic science pioneers from the Zhejiang Province who have made historic contributions to forensic science education. This paper briefly reviews the lives and achievements of these pioneers in chronological order. They include Song-Ming Xu, Ji-Zu Wang, Lv-Gao Chen, Jin-Chang Zhu, Ying-Han Xu, Mei-Yun Wu, Jia-Zhen Zhu, Guang-Zhao Huang, Zhan-Pei Zheng, and Shi-Xian Chen. History is only worth writing about if it teaches us about the future. This historical review sets examples for both current and future forensic pathologists to learn from the contributions of these pioneers.
