While being nourished by the motherland, the Yangtze River Pharmaceutical Group (hereinafter referred to as YRPG)never forgets to dedicate itself to the service of its country, and it has made great contributions to the construction of a harmonious  society by developing the traditional medicine, helping the poor, taking part in public activities, and dedicating its love and care to the society.
