The hero still fights
As the saying goes, "A hero is known in the time of misfortune (不幸)." Doctor Zhong Nanshan is a hero like this. He is a famous health expert (專家) in China, who saved many people's lives in 2003.
In 2002, SARS broke out in Guangdong. Later, it spread across China and other parts of the world. Patients coughed a lot and got fevers. Hundreds of them died from the disease. Even many doctors and nurses got SARS when they treated the patients. So everyone was afraid of it. But Zhong was brave enough to fight the disease. Zhong spent days and nights to find the cause of the disease. And with his way of treating, many patients got better.
When the novel coronavirus hit Wuhan, Zhong led (帶領) his team to the city to fight the virus. The virus spread quickly. Around tens of thousands of Chinese people were infected. Zhong's team developed many ways to save the patients. And he told people to wear masks, wash hands often and stay at home.
Zhong likes sports very much. When he was 67, he could still play basketball. Now at the age of 84, Zhong still treats patients in the hospital and teaches young doctors. "I am just a doctor," Zhong says. But we think he is a hero and a fighter.
