Virus expert returns

    "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 hit Wu han. 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(信心) in winning this fight.

    A great doctor

    Zhong grew up in a family of doctors. His goal has always been to save as many lives as possible. In 2003, when SARS hit China, he volunteered(自愿) to treat(治疗) patients and asked 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)."

    Back to the frontlines

    Seventeen years later, Zhong is once again leading(带领) an expert team to deal with the novel coronavirus. Although this new virus is known to be more dangerous to old people, Zhong worries little about his own safety.

    On Jan. 18, 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. On Jan. 29, he and his team spent over four hours online checking five patients. The next day, he chose a treatment plan for those patients. Under his lead, his team developed(研发) a rapid test kit(快速检测试剂盒) for the disease that can show results within 15 minutes.

As People's Daily wrote, "the 84-year-old Zhong Nanshan shows his professionalism(专业性) as a doctor, courage(勇气) as a soldier, and a sense of duty as the backbone(脊梁) of our nation."
