74岁的陈慰中是个富有传奇色彩的老头。他出生在中国早期的基督教世家,贫寒的家境让他幼年失学,成年后才赴美国发奋攻读,拿到生物化学搏士学位这一年已经36岁了。接下来,他却放弃了薪金高昂的教授职位,不顾相爱的美丽挪威姑娘的挽留,毅然转去英国圣·约翰神学院读神学,最终成为惟一的获得圣品阶级头衔的华裔牧师。不久,他又得英国伦敦大主教和英国王室共同保举,担任加拿大皮尔逊国际学院的生化系主任,从此长居加拿大。10年后,他再次放弃了这份年薪5万加元的工作,从一无所有开始,创办了旨在弘扬中国传统文化,促进中西交流的加拿大中华学院,并最终使中医在加拿大合法化。
Chen Wei, 74, is a legendary old man. He was born in an early Christian family in China. His poor family left him out of school at an early age and was 36 years old when he was an adult and went to the United States to study hard to obtain a biochemistry degree. Instead, he abandoned his highly-paid professorship and defied the loving, beautiful, and Norwegian girl and decided to go to St. John’s Theological Seminary in the United Kingdom to read theology and eventually became the only Chinese-style pastor to win the title of the priest. Soon after, he was co-sponsored by the archbishop of London, England and the British royal family. As director of the Department of Biochemistry at Pearson International College in Canada, he grew up in Canada. Ten years later, he once again gave up his job of $ 50,000 a year. Starting from nothing, he founded the Canada China Institute to promote traditional Chinese culture and promote Sino-Western exchanges and finally legalized Chinese medicine in Canada.
