Mr. Ye was the vice chairman of the Central Committee of the Agricultural Workers' and Democratic Party and the vice chairman of the Jiangsu Provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC).
Mr. Ye Juquan is a grandmaster of Chinese medicine in China, and is one of the earliest three academicians in China's medical and health care sector after the founding of the People's Republic of China. In his youth, he studied Chinese medicine with famous doctors and was diligent and studious. After he started his own business, he still studied a lot of medical writings and literature, tried to understand the advantages and disadvantages, and strived for innovation. In the old China discrimination and abolition of Chinese medicine, his research on Chinese medicine has always insisted on the concept of practice first, and advocated that “Chinese medicine must be organized to open hospitals and conduct scientific experiments”, starting from the clinic, and carefully verifying the experience of the predecessors and improving and developing it. He successively founded the Suzhou Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine and the Prescription Experimental Research Society, and successively published “One Hundred Reasonable Folk Prescriptions”, “Sorting Out Chinese Medicine Must Set Up Hospitals”, “Collection of Recent Internal Medicine Prescriptions”, etc. He also translated and published “Animal and Plant Folk Medicines”, “Abdominal Diagnosis Examination”, “Theory of Formulas and Evidence” and other famous Japanese medicines, which have had a great influence on the inheritance and development of traditional Chinese medicine and the advancement of traditional Chinese medicine.
After the liberation in 1949, Comrade Ye Juquan enthusiastically hailed the new socialist China and the Communist Party of China (CPC) for bringing a new life to Chinese medicine, and he devoted himself to clinical, teaching and scientific research work in Chinese medicine with great enthusiasm. Together with like-minded friends, he founded the rural medical training courses, compiled and printed rural medical books and textbooks, popularized medical and health knowledge, relieved the pain of thousands of patients, and devoted himself to cultivating a large number of medical talents for the motherland, and wrote about more than 10 million words until he was seriously ill and hospitalized, but also never forgetting that “we should strengthen the research of the motherland's medical science, and enhance academic exchanges with Taiwan and the international Chinese medicine community”. He was engaged in the teaching, research and development of Chinese medicine.
He has been engaged in teaching, medical treatment and scientific research in Chinese medicine for more than 70 years, and has devoted his life's energy to the revitalization of Chinese medicine in the motherland. His profound academic attainments, superior medical skills and noble medical ethics earned a high reputation in the domestic and international medical circles.
Mr. Ye Keliangquan, a person of high moral character, is an excellent representative of intellectuals in our country, who closely linked his fate with the fate of the motherland and the people, and devoted his life to selfless service without asking for anything. He once donated his 300 square meters private house to the government and most of his manuscript fees to medical research institutions, reflecting the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation and the selflessness and selflessness of the high moral character.
