"No special circumstances, don't go to Wuhan." In early 2020, the new crown pneumonia epidemic struck, academician Zhong Nanshan advised everyone not to go to Wuhan for the time being, but he set foot on it. The "retrograde" train.
From January 18th to 21st, Guangzhou, Wuhan, Beijing... 4 days, thousands of kilometers, Zhong Nanshan rushed to the forefront of the epidemic without hesitation. During the 96 hours of the tight schedule, the 84-year-old did not say a word of tiredness.

Zhong Nanshan is affiliated with Guangzhou Medical University. The First Hospital received severe patients with new coronary pneumonia and created zero infections and zero deaths. Recently, a critically ill patient with new coronary pneumonia who used extracorporeal membrane lung (ECMO) to assist support for 111 days and was ventilated with a tracheal intubation ventilator for 150 days was discharged from the hospital, creating a "world miracle".
Ms. Peng, a critically ill pregnant woman with new coronary pneumonia in Zhongshan, was also a patient who Zhong Nanshan and local medical staff robbed from the "Ghost Gate".
