Body donation is a valuable resource in medical education, research, clinical diagnosis, and treatment. Consequently, donors are honored as “Silent Mentors” in Chinese medical schools. This article briefly reviews the history, current status, and strategies to promote body donation in China (excluding data from Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan regions) and discusses the problems encountered in body donation work in China. After establishing the People’s Republic of China in 1949, the central government issued regulations on the use of dissected bodies. In 2001, the “Shanghai Regulations on Body Donation” were officially implemented and became China’s first local legislative regulation on body donation. Subsequently, local legislative regulations and rules on body donation were issued in various regions to promote smooth and orderly body donation. There has been tremendous development in body donation in China for more than 40 years; however, the progress of this partial work has been uneven in various areas owing to the influence of traditional ethical concepts. It is, therefore, imperative to legislate body donations at a national level. Raising the public’s scientific literacy and changing the traditional concept of funerals can create a positive social atmosphere for body donation, thus increasing the public’s awareness and willingness to donate their bodies. Donating the body at the end of life contributes to life science and medical causes and is a noble act worthy of praise.
