For nearly a century since its founding in 1925, Chang-Yuan Hospital has watched over Lukang. Now, it transforms these layered memories into a fresh momentum, preparing for its next great evolution. During its renovation, X-Basic Planning has repurposed the arcade of its three main buildings into an exhibition tracing Taiwan’s century-long medical trajectory, thus extending the old building’s vitality. Through three major themes\u2014”Medical Development in Taiwan during the Japanese Rule Period,” “Clinic Recreation,” and “Contributors to Lukang’s Grassroots Healthcare”\u2014the exhibition traces the path from public health initiatives introduced by the colonial government to the reforms in medical education that trained a generation of local practitioners.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Focusing on “Medical Development in Taiwan during the Japanese Rule Period,” this section displays the Taiwan Governor-General’s Office’s public health advertisements and charts the trajectory of medical education reforms during the period.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The arcade exhibition opens with a Chang-Yuan Hospital treatment table. Medical instruments\u2014syringes, grinding mortars, vaccination boxes\u2014alongside period photographs, recreate a familiar local medical space. This setup also tells the story of Dr. Hsu Tu, tracing his path from secondary school and medical college to his hometown practice. His career embodies the development of Taiwan’s early local medical talent, a process deeply tied to its Japanese-rule-period modernization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

X-Basic Planning’s inquiry extends beyond public health history to examine how modern medicine spatially transformed the urban landscape. The exhibition examines the architecture of Japanese-rule-period shophouse clinics and the evolution of Lukang’s grassroots medical facilities like Pai-chuan Hospital and Kun-yuan Hospital.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

To illustrate the impact of modern medicine, we commissioned Loyola Publishing Co. to create maps showing the distribution of Lukang\u2019s Grassroots Healthcare institutions in 1937 and 1955, revealing their transformative development during the Japanese period.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
