Dr. Chen Zhongwei started the era of microsurgery with the world very first limb replantation in 1963. Over half a century, generations of Chinese surgical experts in microsurgery have innovatively made great contributions in the development of microsurgery in the world. The microsurgery in China has always been kept at the leading edge and advanced academic status in the world. The microsurgical experts in China have achieved and made great contributions in the fields of replantation surgery, reconstructive surgery, soft-tissue repair, and studies in repair of peripheral nerve. This article describes in details of the great achievements and contributions made to the world microsurgery by the Chinese surgeons. Look back into the past, the development of microsurgery in China embodies great efforts and wisdom of the earlier generations. Looking into the future, the younger generations should inherit the course of the older generations and continue to promote the popularisation and development of microsurgery in China.
