As the saying goes, “A hero is known in the time of misfortune (不幸)". Zhong Nanshan is a hero like this. He is a doctor in Guangdong. In 2003, SARS broke out (爆发)in Guangdong. People had a bad cough and got a high fever, lots of people died from the disease (疾病). Zhong helped a lot of sick people there.
In early 2020, a disease called Novel Coronavirus Pneumonia (新型冠状病毒肺炎) hit Wulian. Zhong Nanshan, 84-year-old, led his team to Wuhan to fight the disease. Zhong's team did their best to help the sick people. He asked people to wear masks, wash hands frequently(频繁地),stay at home and not to go to crowed places.
Zhong likes sports very much. When he was 67, he could still play basketball. Now at the age of 84, Zhong still helps sick people in the hospital and teaches young doctors. "I am just a doctor?" Zhong says. But we think he is a hero and a fighter.
