How to Say “My emergency contact” in Chinese

"My emergency contact" in Chinese is 我的紧急联系人 (Wǒ de jǐnjí liánxì rén). 紧急联系人 (jǐnjí liánxì rén) literally means 'urgent contact person'; every Chinese hospital admission form has this field. In Taiwan you'll sometimes see 緊急聯絡人 (liánluò rén) instead of 联系人; both mean the same thing.

When to use it
紧急联系人 (jǐnjí liánxì rén) literally means 'urgent contact person'; every Chinese hospital admission form has this field. In Taiwan you'll sometimes see 緊急聯絡人 (liánluò rén) instead of 联系人; both mean the same thing. If your contact is overseas, write the country code clearly; Chinese admissions staff often don't recognize formats without a + prefix. Save your contact's info in WeChat too, since staff may prefer to message over WeChat rather than call.
