On the afternoon of July 1, the Chinese Academy of Engineering held an academician symposium in Beijing, and invited academicians of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and the winner of the "July 1st Medal" Wu Tianyi and other academicians to return to the "natal family" for discussions and exchanges.
Academician Wu Tianyi has devoted himself to the research of plateau medicine for more than 50 years. He has proposed international standards for the prevention and treatment of altitude sickness, and initiated the study of "Tibetan Adaptation Physiology" to diagnose and treat tens of thousands of Tibetans.
During the construction of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway, he presided over the formulation of a series of altitude sickness prevention measures and first aid plans, creating the miracle that no railway construction workers died due to altitude sickness, and he was called the "protector of life."
