The red doctor spirit is a unique spiritual form and value pursuit nurtured. It was nurtured and formed during the medical practice of the Communist Party of China leading the vast medical workers to integrate the basic principles of Marxism with the concrete realities of the Chinese revolution and with the excellent traditional Chinese medical ethics culture. It constitutes not only an important component of the spiritual spectrum of the Chinese Communists but also a significant source of the health and wellness culture of socialism with Chinese characteristics. Employing the analytical framework of the “two integrations，” this paper conducted an in-depth analysis of the generative logic of the red doctor spirit. It revealed that this spirit was not only the creative transformation and concrete manifestation of Marxist core concepts such as human emancipation and the people-centered stance in the medical and health practices of the Chinese revolution， but also an integration and elevation of traditional medical ethics like “the caring heart of a physician” and “a master physician must have superb skill and sincerity” in the excellent traditional Chinese culture with the red revolutionary culture at the practical level. This paper argued that the generation of the red doctor spirit was the product of a dialectical unity regarding theoretical guidance， cultural nourishment， and practical exploration under specific historical conditions. Situated in the new era， the red doctor spirit continues to exhibit strong vitality and irreplaceable contemporary value in aspects such as adhering to the people-first principle， advancing the healthy China initiative， strengthening medical ethics and professional conduct， carrying forward the red gene， and cultivating new generations for the era.

Great revolutionary practice nurtures great revolutionary spirits. During the period of the New Democratic Revolution， under the leadership of the Communist Party of China （CPC）， the vast red medical workers relied on the masses， overcame numerous difficulties， worked self-reliantly， and struggled hard， achieving tremendous accomplishments in the healthcare industry. In this great practice， red doctor spirit with connotations of “political firmness， technical excellence， selfless dedication， healing the wounded and rescuing the dying， working hard， and daring to innovate” has been nurtured. It is the profound embodiment of the political position， value orientation， moral sentiment， willpower， and work style of the vast red medical workers， condensing the fine qualities of CPC members. Inheriting and promoting red doctor spirit in the new era is of great significance for advancing governance in the healthcare field， enhancing the medical ethics of medical personnel， and cultivating the humanistic spirit of medical students.
