The person that I admire the most is Dr. Zhong Nanshan. He is a scientist and doctor in the field of contagious disease control.
Firstly, Dr. Zhong is very devoted. Despite his senior age, he continues to work for the well-being of people, and uses his knowledge and energy to give suggestions. Once there was a picture of him falling asleep on the train that impressed me.
Secondly, Dr. Zhong is very courageous. He always tells the truth even though it may put himself under the pressure of being blamed for inaccurate information.
Thirdly, Dr. Zhong is quite optimistic. Fighting diseases means lots of unpredictability and adversity. He exercises every day to stay healthy and remains positive no matter how harsh the circumtance is.
