Nelson Fu (simplified Chinese: 傅连璋; traditional Chinese: 傅連璋; pinyin: Fù Liánzhāng), 1894—1968, was an important figure in the Chinese Civil War and Revolution. He was one of the few if only western-trained doctor to have made the Long March and later, in Beijing, a Vice-Minister of Public Health, to be responsible for the health of the party elite.
In the 1920s and 1930s, Fu lived and worked in the then-prefectural seat of Changting (now Tingzhou town) in western Fujian. He was a senior doctor at its British Christian missionary Hospital of the Gospel.

Famous quotes containing the word nelson:
“The victors and the vanquished then the storm it tossed and tore,
As hard they strove, those worn-out men, upon that surly shore;
Dead Nelson and his half-dead crew, his foes from near and far,
Were rolled together on the deep that night at Trafalgar!”
—Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
