Wu Lien-Teh and reports of the Second Plague in the Northeast in YuanDong Bao and Bingjiang ShiBao

Abstract

It was reported in YuanDong Bao and Bingjiang ShiBao that the second plague in the Northeast area in China (1920-1921) killed 9,300 people, a significant decrease compared with 60,000 deaths in the first epidemic in 1910. It was Wu Lien-Teh that took a series of scientific epidemic prevention measures in the second plague, which effectively blocked the spread of the epidemic to other cities based on YuanDong Bao and Bingjiang ShiBao reports. The epidemic prevention thoughts and methods of Wu Lien-Teh are important references for dealing with wide-spread public health emergencies in the future. The reports of these prevention thoughts and methods in YuanDong Bao and Bingjiang ShiBao are valuable first-hand historical materials, providing necessary historical evidence for research in this field.It was reported in YuanDong Bao and Bingjiang ShiBao that the second plague in the Northeast area in China (1920-1921) killed 9,300 people, a significant decrease compared with 60,000 deaths in the first epidemic in 1910.
