    2021 marks the centenary of the death of Dr. James L. Maxwell. In commemoration of his contribution to Taiwan, Chunghwa Post has released one NT$28 stamp. The stamp depicts a portrait of Dr. Maxwell with a glimpse of the Thài-Pêng-Kéng Maxwell Memorial Church in the background.    Dr. James L. Maxwell was born in Scotland in 1836 and graduated from Edinburgh University Medical School. On June 16, 1865 he began his work as a medical missionary at Khòan-sai Street, Tainan. The Khòan-sai Street Clinic was the first Western-style clinic in Taiwan. Dr. Maxwell combined medical work with his preaching. He trained staff and assisted innumerable patients, earning him the title Father of Taiwan’s Medical Missionaries.
