The theme of today’s story is “Zhong Nanshan”.
From SARS to new pneumonia, Zhong Nanshan has once again reached the front line of the epidemic. “Zhong Nanshan said” can be seen everywhere on social media. People are convinced of what Zhong Nanshan said, comparing the importance of Zhong Nanshan’s fight against the epidemic with Vulcan Mountain and Thunder God Mountain. There are such paragraphs everywhere in the circle of friends, “When can I move, Zhong Nanshan can only move when he says it.”
As a hero against SARS, Zhong Nanshan has long been a representative figure of social conscience. He has empathy and courage, and dares to tell the truth with his own profession under the authority of the voice. Zhong Nanshan is no longer an individual, but a spiritual representative.
People believe in Zhong Nanshan and respect Zhong Nanshan, but after so many years, there are not more and more people who show Zhong Nanshan’s spirit in the public vision.
I.
If you only look at your physical condition, few people believe that Zhong Nanshan is 83 years old. Not only is he a tough guy, he has always been a sportsman.
On the arena, Zhong Nanshan has set a national record. “Zhong Nanshan Biography” wrote, “195In August 9th, in the test of the first National Games, Zhong Nanshan broke the national record of the 400-meter hurdle at 54 seconds 6 with a time of 54 seconds 2. At that time, he was enrolled in Beijing Medical College, and was a track and field athlete in the school. He was selected into the Beijing Sports Team. The following year, he won the Beijing Men’s Decathlon Championship.
Zhong Nanshan participated in the amateur training of the Guangdong Province track and field team when he was in high school. The Central Institute of Physical Education once invited him to the national team for training. However, Zhong Nanshan’s father selected him for medical school after weighing. After the first National Games, the Beijing Sports Commission hoped that Zhong Nanshan would stay in the sports team, and Zhong Nanshan once again gave up sports. Although the food on the sports team is very tempting, he feels that his constitution is not good, at most he can only reach the Asian level and not the world level, so he has no future in sports.
Despite continuing medical practice, it did not prevent the Zhong Nanshan family from becoming sportsmen. His wife Li Shaofen was China’s first women’s national team player and served as the vice chairman of the Basketball Association after his retirement. Daughter Zhong Weiyue is a professional swimmer in the 1990s, breaking the world record of short-butterfly in 1994. His son Zhong Lude is the main force of the hospital basketball team.
During the epidemic, Zhong Nanshan’s strong physique again became a hot topic. The media turned out a video of his 69-year-old shirtless basketball player, and found pictures of his muscles while working out. His daily life is inseparable from exercise. He has an exercise room at home. He exercises three or four times a week for 45 minutes each time. He will jog, lift dumbbells, or pull up on parallel bars. Sometimes he was so busy with only 10 minutes of free time that he had to jog quickly.
Zhong Nanshan understands sports as a way of self-restraint. How to accomplish tasks efficiently in a unit of time. It is extremely valuable to take this competitive spirit of sports to work and study. He also said that health is a fragile glass ball, but exercise is the best health.
Second,
After the atypical pneumonia, Zhong Nanshan reappeared in the public connection in the field connection of Bai Yansong. He affirmed the human-to-human phenomenon of the new coronavirus, which greatly changed people’s views on the epidemic. People naturally think of the words he spoke with authority in SARS period, “Now the cause of the disease is unknown, how to prevent it is unclear, and how to treat it is not a good way. The condition is still contagious. Controlled? “And the belief that supported his saying was,” Science must speak based on facts. ”
“Dare to speak boldly” is recognized by Zhong Nanshan. He is regarded by the media as a hero, scholar and well-known. What needs to be seen is that Zhong Nanshan’s long-standing “dare to speak up” is based on the premise of continuous study of medicine, and he is telling the truth by his own profession.
Like sports, Zhong Nanshan, 83, is a top respiratory disease expert in China, and his research on respiratory diseases is continuing. His schedule was usually fully booked a month ago. A large round of inspections will be held weekly, an expert clinic will be held, and seminars will be organized on weekends. CCTV had asked him to make a documentary, and Zhong Nanshan told the camera almost all the knowledge about slow obstructive pneumonia he was studying. His plan is to “change the COPD prevention strategy for the entire world”, and he has even calculated the time, “I guess I can still live to that time.”
Zhong Nanshan generally refuses invitations for discussions not related to medicine. The documentary also captures such a detail. Several surgical directors from a certain hospital visited Mingming. The hospital asked Zhong Nanshan to go out “to see each other with courtesy.” “They admire you very simply.” Zhong Nanshan sighed deeply, “There is another, I can’t say anything, what should I say?” The whole meeting lasted for an hour and a half. After the photo was taken, Zhong Nanshan quickly returned to the office and immediately closed the door.
Focusing on and thinking about respiratory diseases is to support Zhong Nanshan’s choice to respect facts rather than authority when the facts are not the same as the authority.
When an expert tells the truth through his professional judgment, these truths should be considered. However, from the early stage of the epidemic, eight doctors became “rumor makers”. From the experience of Dr. Li Wenliang being instructed, we can see that this society still lacks professional respect and judgment. It is the duty of experts and scholars to speak the truth and speak the truth with their own profession. It is also the responsibility of this society to respect the truth. Zhong Nanshan’s “Dare to speak up” should not be an admired case, it should become a normal state.
Three,
Speaking the truth is just a face. It requires professional judgment and even more courage.
Two days ago, Zhong Nanshan mentioned Dr. Li Wenliang in an interview with Reuters. His eyes were red and his voice was shaking. He said, “I think most people think that he is a hero of China, and so am I. I am proud of him.” There is a saying that during this critical period, Zhong Nanshan could have avoided talking about Li Wenliang, let alone so emotional. To some extent, Zhong Nanshan’s courage has expanded the value of this content.
Courage often plays a key role in deciding to tell the truth. Compared to Zhong Nanshan’s daring to say, the courage of ordinary people is actually harder to come by. someone saidLi Wenliang is an ordinary person, not only because of his ordinary life, but also because his reminders are also trembling. He only sends news to the group, and also keeps friends from telling others. Li Wenliang is indeed an ordinary person. His initiative in life is not in his own hands. He has the pressure of survival and the pressure of career opportunities behind him. But he can choose to tell the truth under these shackles, and he is not ordinary.
We can’t ask everyone to have the conscience in the face of authority like Zhong Nanshan, but we have to reflect on why we can’t be brave like Zhong Nanshan? Everyone respects Zhong Nanshan, but why are n’t more and more people like Zhong Nanshan in the public eye? What restricts people from becoming a person like Zhong Nanshan? What hinders the courage of ordinary people to tell the truth?
Japan’s “Toyo Economic Weekly” said Zhong Nanshan is a “83-year-old tough guy who can still entrust the National Games”, but Zhong Nanshan should not be alone.
Speak the truth, speak the truth with a real profession, and have the courage to speak the truth with your own profession. This is the conscience of intellectuals.
