"If our military also had such experts, then the epidemic in the United States would have disappeared long ago," is the heartfelt words left by an American media after seeing the deeds of General Chen Wei. General Chen Wei was the only woman to receive the title of People's Hero at the 2020 National Commendation Conference on Fighting the Epidemic, the first drug she developed to stop the SARS virus, and he also developed the world's first vaccine for Ebola virus.
In the past year, General Chen Wei was even more a pioneer, leading the expert group to Wuhan to deal with the new crown epidemic, if Academician Zhong Nanshan is the sharpest spear of our country, then General Chen Wei is the strongest shield of our country, and it is also our last barrier. General Chen Wei is only fifty-five years old this year, but he is already full of white hair, but you know what? In January last year, General Chen Wei was still a green silk.
When asked the reason, General Chen Wei only smiled and did not answer, because these white hairs are witnesses to the fight against the epidemic. In January last year, when the epidemic suddenly broke out in Wuhan, General Chen Wei took the lead and led the team to Wuhan to carry out nucleic acid testing and scientific research at the first time. In order to improve efficiency, General Chen Wei led the expert group to build a simple laboratory for the first time, and used the self-developed detection kit to improve the detection speed of accounting.
In addition, General Chen Wei also carried out the most important vaccine research and development, in order to develop a vaccine as soon as possible, General Chen Wei led by example, wearing protective materials with the team members, staying in the laboratory together, just so that the vaccine could obtain the first batch of clinical trials. Soon after two months of research, the new crown vaccine that became the team received the first clinical trials, and after a month of observation, the experiment was officially declared a success.
But just when everyone thought they could breathe a sigh of relief, there was another wave of rumors, public opinion believed that after the new crown virus lost moisture in the air, it still had the ability to spread, and it still floated in the air in the form of an aerosol and spread to a distance, this rumor was completely fictitious in the eyes of doctors, but the people at that time could not distinguish between the truth and rumors.
In order to dispel this rumor and restore the truth of the matter, General Chen Wei led the team to take the hospital as the center and the radius of fifty meters as the radius, and all the air samples were taken in these areas, and then used scientific data to prove that there was no danger near the hospital, and the people could move forward with confidence.
But a wave of uneven waves, although it proves that there is no problem near the hospital, but after the air gradually warms up, people have new worries, for the mosquitoes after the sting, people think that they will also spread the virus, had to General Chen Wei, had to lead the team to insect sampling, the insect virus test, until the test results are qualified, everyone put their minds at ease.
In this way, for a full four months, General Chen Wei worked tirelessly, constantly running around, stunned to turn his head full of green silk into white hair, which is really very hateful for those who spread rumors and troubles, and casually said that he wanted to toss our medical workers, so why did General Chen Wei embark on this road?
In 1966, General Chen Wei was born in Lanxi, Zhejiang, as his name suggests, the general was particularly good-looking when he was a child, as handsome as a rose flower, not only that, the general was also talented and intelligent when he was a child, and he was excellent in character and learning, and at the age of eighteen, he was admitted to Zhejiang University without accident, and after four years, he was sent to Tsinghua University for graduate school, which was enough to see the excellence of the general.
During the period of graduate school, General Chen Wei was recruited by various enterprises, and after screening, General Chen Wei decided to go to a biological company in Shenzhen and had signed a contract. But then a small matter made General Chen Chenwei decide to break the contract. By chance, General Chen Wei was entrusted by his mentor to go to the Academy of Military Medical Sciences to retrieve an antibody.
Originally, this was a task that could not be smaller, but history is sometimes so accidental, it is such a small thing, not only changed General Chen Wei, but also changed the biological sciences of our country. It must be mentioned here that the Academy of Military Medical Sciences, to which General Chen Wei went, was established in 1951, when we did not know whether the United States would use bacteriological weapons, but for the sake of insurance, Premier Zhou still dispatched the best scientists in the country, established the academy, and has been developing defensive nuclear weapons, chemical weapons, and biological weapons for our country.
After learning about this college, General Chen Wei immediately boiled with enthusiasm and wanted to dedicate herself to the country, so she did not hesitate to default, just to enter this college, but at that time, both her parents and friends did not agree with her approach, her parents believed that girls should be stable after graduation.
Although there is no good salary and no good treatment there, as General Chen Wei said, there are always people who have to sacrifice, why can't it be me? Her supervisor was also very supportive after learning of her idea, and General Chen Wei lived up to expectations, winning her doctorate in 1998 in the direction of viral drugs.
Innate intelligence coupled with years of polishing, so that General Chen Wei soon became an expert in the industry, but due to the particularity of his work, General Chen Wei's name has been little known, but until 2003, General Chen Wei's name began to become famous, she worked day and night for three months, General Chen Wei developed a interferon that inhibits the virus, and made this interferon into a spray as a defensive drug for medical staff, and medical staff benefited from this spray, and there was not a single case of infection.
In 2008, there was a Wenchuan earthquake that shocked China, and after the earthquake, in addition to rescuing the injured, it is more important to pay attention to the epidemic situation after the earthquake, when Chen Wei was both a soldier and an expert, risking aftershocks, once again wearing armor and wearing a command, rushing to the disaster area to carry out epidemic prevention work.
After that, at the end of 2015, General Chen Wei made China the first country in the world to develop an Ebola vaccine, opening a door of life for people and workers in the epidemic area. At this moment, General Chen Wei is not only a friend of the African people, but also a hero of the African people, and in recognition of her contributions, the country also held a promotion ceremony for him as a major general in 2015.
The green silk became white, and the style was also the same. General Chen Wei has grown from a young girl to an expert in excellence, and behind this is countless heartache and hard work, but even so, General Chen Wei is still diligent and sincere, hard work and resentment, for the country, for the people, paid everything, worthy of all of us to remember.
