As we all know, Zhong Nanshan is one of the most famous medical scientists in the 21st century in China.
He was born in October 1936 in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province. Having graduated from Beijing Medical College in 1960, he worked as a teacher there. In the spring of 2003, Zhong Nanshan led his team to fight against SARS. After they had worked hard for several months, they made outstanding achievements in the battle at last. In the early of 2020, COVID-19 broke out. Dangerous as it was, Zhong Nanshan was determined to take part in the battle again. He worked with his team day and night treating the patients. Finally, it was their hard work that made the epidemic situation under control in China.
Zhong Nanshan is a good doctor with the spirit of dedication. So he is respected by all the people in China.
Thank you!
