Sir James Cantlie was a British physician. He was a pioneer of first aid.. in 1886 he became Surgeon at Charing Cross. In 1888, he resigned to take up a position in Hong Kong. .. he co-founded the Hong Kong College of Medicine for Chinese

which later grew into the University of Hong Kong. One of his first pupils at the College was the future Chinese leader Dr Sun Yat-sen

In 1896, poor health – related to his unstinting work as a researcher and practicing physician – forced Cantlie to return to London. Later that year, Dr Sun visited him, and was kidnapped by the Imperial Chinese secret service

Sun was tied up in the Chinese Legation, and might well have been shipped back to China and executed had it not been for Cantlie, who led a media campaign which not only succeeded in releasing Dr Sun, but made him a hero in Britain.
