Administrative history
The Mission, originally opened by the Methodist Woman's Missionary Society in 1894, was engaged in evangelistic, medical (hospital) work, and educational work (schools and involvement with West China Union University). During World War II the influx of Honan missionaries and the transfer of the Christian Literature Society from Shanghai to Chengtu boosted the population. As with other China missions, work was difficult due to growing nationalism and wars. The last missionary left China in 1952.
