很久很久以前，long long ago,大概2012年9月，因对古建感兴趣，涉及到了山西农大、太谷人民医院的古建筑，从中了解到一个在太谷治病救人的伟大的美国人——韩明卫，对其很好奇，可网上中文资料不多，中文互联网甚至连韩明卫英文名都少见，只找到一处（台湾宋颖豪对韩明卫侄子海明威的探寻：海明威追踪记 http://www.xuexx.com/archives/2046），于是搜索英文，Google到一篇韩明卫女儿韩义德的讣告，我决定翻译出来，我文章虽不长，但我英语不佳，且文中好多难理解的宗教术语，翻译大半后，因事耽搁，之后竟一直没再继续，现在正好起意，于是终于翻了出来。
本来我还打算像台湾宋颖豪先生孜孜不倦地探索作家海明威与中国的关系一样，也来挖掘一下韩明卫家庭的故事，可毕竟我没有宋先生的耐性，他甚至曾和韩义德通过信，这种求知精神让人敬佩，Isabel 回信说“我出生在中国，曾将三十年的岁月奉献给中国的土地与人民。稍后，又在印度服务三十年。如今年已古稀，始才回到美国，开始认识自己的国家。”
讣告中称Isabel离开中国后去了土耳其，但她自己对宋颖豪说是印度，而网上中文资料亦说是去了印度，难道讣告还会出错，实在不可思议。

Returning to China after graduation, Isabel worked as a nurse in the Taigu hospital from 1934 until 1941. She then returned to the US in 1943 to attend Maternity Center Association (MCA) in New York to become a nurse midwife. She returned to China before World War II but was forcibly repatriated after the Japanese invasion when she and her sister, Winifred, were exchanged for Japanese diplomats. She returned once again to China in 1946 with UNRAA (United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Association) and was assigned to the hospital in Taiyuan, Shansi Province, very close to where she grew up. She was the head nurse of three obstetrical wards, attending some deliveries. Even during the civil war she was able to greatly improve the functioning of the hospital because she spoke the local dialect of Chinese and her family was well respected in the community.

In 1949 Isabel and an MCA midwife classmate, Edith Galt, were asked by UNICEF to coordinate a training program for nurse midwives in Beijing in conjunction with the People’s Republic of China. Along with Dr. Leo Eloesser, they compiled a technical manual for midwifery in Chinese for their students. It was published in English by UNICEF as Pregnancy, Childbirth and the Newborn – A Manual for Rural Midwives and was subsequently translated into English, Korean, Spanish, and Portuguese. Although Isabel left China in 1951, the midwifery program continued for another 20 years.
