China News Service, Beijing, March 1st: Why is "still Zhong Nanshan"?

Recently, a new book has been published in Mainland China called "Still Zhong Nanshan."

Why "still Zhong Nanshan"? In my opinion, there is necessity by chance.

First, times create heroes. During the SARS campaign in 2003, Zhong Nanshan gained popularity and became a household name. The new crown pneumonia outbreak, which broke out at the beginning of Gengzi, was considered by a high level of China as a major public health emergency with the fastest spread, the widest scope of infection and the most difficult prevention and control since the founding of New China. At the time of the crisis, Zhong Nanshan was "out of the mountain" again. In his eighties, he rushed to Wuhan several times, constantly attending press conferences, interviewing and answering questions. Photos of taking a short rest on the train were widely spread.

Secondly, professionalism is good. Zhong Nanshan comes from a medical family and has been committed to clinical, teaching, and scientific research. He is a well-known expert in respiratory medicine. He is currently the leader of the high-level expert group of the National Health Commission of China. His skills are deep, his speech has a strong team and data support, and he aims to promote scientific prevention and control and boost social morale. His words are convincing.

Third, those who dare to speak are respected. In ancient and modern times, there are countless examples confirming that "the promise of a thousand men is worse than that of a gentleman." As an index figure in China, in addition to his profession, Zhong Nanshan has won respect for his frankness and frankness. For example, in the past month, he cried at least twice during the interview. He recently took off his mask at a conference in Guangzhou and said that he was proud of Dr. Li Wenliang, who died unfortunately. He is confident that the epidemic will be basically controlled in April. China never fears the outside world. The scolding sounds, not necessarily originating in China, etc., all reflect a "true" character, a "seeking truth from facts" attitude.

In fact, Zhong Nanshan is a man, not a god. The "Zhong Nanshan Phenomenon", which is hot and even popular on the Internet, is a microcosm of China today. Over the past 17 years, there have been improvements and there are things worth reviewing.

As a large country with an area of ​​more than 9.6 million square kilometers, a population of more than 1.4 billion, and a cultural heritage of 5,000 years, China's development is in the critical period of climbing uphills, transitioning gears, and watching. The epidemic caused huge sacrifice and quantifiable impacts. It also endangered China and made the human body recognize the deep interaction between China and the world, and shared the same fate.

The sea is more than water. China has and does not lack such responsible people as Zhong Nanshan. For example, Academician Li Lanjuan, such as Dr. Zhang Wenhong, such as more than 40,000 medical staff who are on the front line of the "epidemic" in Hubei, and civilian heroes with hundreds of professions. "Everything will turn into water, and eventually they will merge into a river." They are all brave men and they are also hopes for China to overcome the epidemic. (Finish)
