China News Service, November 19th. According to Hong Kong's Wen Wei Po, the number of donations of bodies by Hong Kong people has increased significantly in recent years. University of Hong Kong and The Chinese University of Hong Kong launched the "Body Donation Plan" in the early years, encouraging donation of bodies after death for medical education and research purposes. A survey found that among the more than 800 respondents, about 80% of them had heard of body donations, and about half of them expressed their willingness to donate bodies, which showed that Hong Kong people are very open about donating bodies.

It is reported that recently, under the leadership of Dr. Chen Liji, associate professor at the School of Biomedical Sciences of Hong Kong University, more than 200 second-grade medical students attended the farewell ceremony of 29 "Massive Teachers" (reputation of those who donated bodies) and completed the last lesson of the Anatomy Class.
During the farewell ceremony, the students respectfully laid white cloth with "general" printed on the body of "generally large", and lowered their heads and meditated on their tribute.
The school passed the ceremony and hoped that the medical students would be grateful for the contribution of the "major teacher", and the school hoped that they would become benevolent doctors in the future. A letter of thanks to the family of the body donor was also posted on the wall poster board outside the anatomy room, reminding students not to forget their original intentions.
In order to provide medical education and research purposes, Hong Kong University established a body donation program in the 1970s, while CUHK implemented similar programs in 2011.
Chen Liji believes that the importance of body donation in teaching and research is incomparable. Chen Liji said that using technology learning cannot replace "massive teachers". "massive teachers" can enable students to truly understand the human body, provide academic exchange opportunities for teachers and students, and also help current doctors conduct medical research.
However, although the plan contributed to medicine, the initial response was average until the number of body donations increased in recent years. Chen Liji said that in the early days, only 1 or 2 bodies were donated each year, and the number has increased in recent years, which is something we unexpectedly expected.
According to Hong Kong big data, on average, more than 70 bodies were donated each year in the past three years, while CUHK-D-Average during the same period was about 100 bodies donated each year.
Chen Liji pointed out that in the survey conducted by the University of Hong Kong in 2014, about 80% of the more than 800 respondents had heard of body donations, and about half of them expressed their willingness to donate bodies.
Chen Liji said that the investigation showed that Hong Kong people were very open to donating bodies. Hong Kong people's increasingly accepting donations to remains may also be related to publicity methods. The Hong Kong University Medical College advocates "life education" and allows the public to rethink life from death through soft promotions such as movies.
Chen Liji admitted that he didn't mind becoming a "major teacher" in the future and making his final contribution to medical research.
