Kelin was a renowned revolutionary and medical educator who dedicated his life to Kiang Wu Hospital. Starting in 1936, he volunteered as a doctor and teacher at the hospital's nursing and midwifery school. In 1943, he was elected to the hospital's board of directors and became its first president in 1946.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Kelin continued to work on the mainland while voluntarily serving as the director of Kiang Wu Hospital and leading the Kiang Wu Charitable Association for an impressive 55 years.
