John Kenneth MacKenzie : ウィキペディア英語版 | John Kenneth MacKenzie
John Kenneth MacKenzie (25 August 1850 – 1 April 1888) was an English medical missionary to China. He initially started his work through the London Missionary Society in Hankow in 1875. In Hankow, he treated patients in the London Missionary Society hospital, learned Chinese, and engaged in evangelism. The majority of the cases he treated were eye disease, opium addiction, and cases involving surgery. In 1878, MacKenzie transferred to Tientsin due to the failing health of his wife. In Tientsin, MacKenzie constructed and ran a hospital with the help of the Viceroy's patronage and also established the Tientsin Medical School. MacKenzie also helped in the organisation of the Medical Missionary Association in China and the editing of the ''Medical Missionary Journal''. He employed evangelism in many parts of his work but died an early death in 1888 due to smallpox. ==Early life== John Kenneth MacKenzie, an English medical missionary to China, was born in Yarmouth, England on 25 August 1850. His father, Alexander Mackenzie, was a Scotsman from Ross-shire and his Welsh mother, Margaret Mackenzie, was from Breconshire. Both sets of grandparents were extremely religious. After moving to Bristol when he was an infant, John MacKenzie's father became deeply attached to Reverend Matthew Dickie at the Presbyterian Church. This created a very religious environment at the MacKenzie household. John was described to be reserved but easily provoked as a child, as well as having a sympathising heart. After attending a private school in Bristol, he wasn't fond of studying so he left school at age fifteen and became a clerk in a merchant's office. MacKenzie started to regularly attend the meetings of the Young Men's Christian Association in Bristol. Even though he stopped attending the meetings, Christianity was still a very strong influence in his life. MacKenzie spoke to his friend Colonel Duncan about how he had an urge to engage in the Lord's work in foreign fields so Colonel Duncan recommended that MacKenzie read a book entitled, "(The Double Cure; or, What is a Medical Mission? )" After reading his book, MacKenzie decided to ask his parents if he could quit his job and begin to study medicine with the goal of going to China as a medical missionary. MacKenzie's parents agreed and he quickly enrolled into medical school.
