Abstract
Kam Wah Chung Company, located in the Oregan State in the northwestern United States, was co-created by Dr. Ing Hay and Mr. Lung On. In 1952, when Dr. Ing Hay passed away, his entire clinic building and collections were donated to the government and had been set up as a Museum for later generations to understand the history. The pictures, objects and videos used in the Museum to vividly and objectively compress and reproduce the process and history of early generation of Chinese immigrants crossing the ocean, travelling to northwestern United States and started their new life more than 100 years ago. The precious Chinese medicine materials in the Museum are of great significance to the research and the dissemination of Chinese Medicine culture overseas.
