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, who saved many people's lives in 2003.
In 2003, SARS broke out(爆发)in Guangdong. Later, it spread across China and other parts of the world. Patients coughed a lot and got fevers. Hundreds of patients even died of the disease (疾病). Even many doctors and nurses got SARS when they were working. So everyone was afraid of it. But Zhong was brave enough to fight against the disease. Zhong spent days and nights finding out the cause of the disease.And with his way of treating, many patients began to get better. Zhong finally won people's trust.
In early 2020, a disease called the COVID-19 virus(新型冠状病毒肺炎)hit Wuhan. It spread quickly and tens of thousands of Chinese people were infected(感染). Zhong led his team to Wuhan to fight against the illness. Zhong's team took many measures to cure the patients with the COVID-19 virus. He advised people to wear masks, wash hands frequently(频繁地),stay at home and not to go to crowded places. Zhong likes sports very much. Although he is very old, he can still play basketball.
Now at the age of 85, 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.
