“Please don’t go to Wuhan unless it’s really necessary,” Zhong Nanshan, a famous respiratory expert(呼吸科专家), said when the novel coronavirus(新冠病毒) hit Wuhan. At the same time. Zhong, 84, went on a trip to Wuhan to fight the disease.
Many Chinese know Zhong as the hero who defeated SARS in 2003. People share his pictures and words online, saying they believe every word Zhong says. He has given Chinese people confidence in winning this fight.
Zhong Nanshan grew up in a family of doctors. His goal(目标) has always been to save as many lives as he can. In 2003, when SARS hit China, he volunteered to treat patients and ask other doctors to send their most serious cases(病例) to him. After months of hard work, his treatment plan for SARS was used by China and then the whole world, it saved thousands of lives. As Zhong once said, “the hospitals are our battlefield (战场). When we are needed, we should charge forward(冲锋向前).”
Seventeen years later, Zhong is once again leading an expert team to deal with the novel coronavirus. Although Zhong knows this new virus is more dangerous to old people, Zhong worries little about his own safety. On January 18th, he took a high-speed train from Guangzhou to Wuhan. Two days later he became the first expert to tell the public that the virus can go from person to person. Under his lead, his team developed a rapid test kit(快速检测试剂盒) for the disease that can show results within fifteen minutes.
As People’s Daily wrote, “The 84-year-old Zhong Nanshan shows his professionalism(专业性) as a doctor, courage as a soldier and a sense of duty as a backbone(脊梁) of our nation.”
