At the age of 84, Zhong Nanshan, an expert in respiratory (呼吸的) medicine and academician (院士) of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, has been working against the “epidemic”. Born into a medical family and as the most outstanding① student of Beijing Medical College, Zhong Nanshan's medical road should have been a smooth② one.
In 1971, Zhong finally returned to Guangzhou from Beijing and became a doctor at the fourth people's hospital in Guangzhou. More than 40 years later, he recalled that his father's words had the greatest influence on him in his life, which reawakened③ his strong pursuit④ of medical career. Everything has to start from scratch⑤. Since then, he modestly learned from his colleagues, and his professional ability improved by leaps and bounds. He also took on the reluctant (不情愿的) task of studying chronic bronchitis (慢性支氣管炎), only to find it became a lifelong career. At the age of 43, he was selected to the list of those who went abroad at public expense⑥ and got the opportunity to study in the University of Edinburgh. After finishing his studies and returning home, his father said to him solemnly (莊嚴(yán)地), “you have finally made the foreigners understand that the Chinese are not nothing.” By then, he was 45 years old, and it was the first time he could remember being praised by his father. Zhong's later stories are widely told. When two epidemics ravaged (破壞) the country and brought danger to the people, he went up right away and saved countless critically⑦ ill patients with his superb medical skills. “His talent and willpower⑧ gave him many possibilities for life to develop, but in the end he focused on medicine, continued to explore, and put his talents to the best use.”“The 84-year-old Zhong Nanshan has the expertise of an academician, the courage of a soldier, and the responsibility of a national scholar, ” the People'sDaily said on its official Weibo account.
