We expect the original site of the College of Medicine to be one of the places that Mr. Sun dwell on, as he had spent five years studying higher medicine there.

The College of Medicine (i.e. The Hong Kong College of Medicine for Chinese) was the forerunner of the University of Hong Kong founded in 1911. In its early days the College was attached to the Alice Memorial Hospital located at the intersection between Hollywood Road and Aberdeen Street, hence besides To Tsai Church. The Alice Memorial Hospital was among the earliest western hospitals established in Hong Kong.

Founded by a group of Chinese and western educated merchants, as well as the London Missionary Society, it aimed at offering western medical service to the Chinese populace. Among the many founders, Ho Kai, a barrister and a physician, was the most active member and he donated all his wife's inheritance for the establishment of the Hospital, which was therefore named after its greatest benefactress. When the Hospital started operation in 1887, its founders furthered the cause of the cultivation of Chinese medical practitioners and, endorsed by the Hong Kong governor and Li Hongzhang, the Viceroy of Zhili, who agreed to be the honorary sponsor, they began raising fund for the establishment of the College of Medicine, which was immediately opened in the same year. It became the first college of higher education in Hong Kong. The Alice Memorial Hospital offered outpatient, surgical, internal medicine and ophthalmic services, with a capacity to accommodate 80 patients. There were also classrooms, library and student lodgings for the College of Medicine.
