July 26, 2022 was undoubtedly an exciting and memorable day for Ms. Chen Wei. After years of unremitting efforts, the scientific research team led by her has successfully developed and launched the "recombinant novel coronavirus vaccine", creating a historic breakthrough, and the invention patent of this research has won the highest honor of the China Patent Gold Award!
This honor not only marks the brilliant achievement of the Academy of Military Sciences to win the national patent award for the first time since the reform and opening up, but also gives the highest recognition to the long-term hard work of Chen Wei's scientific research team.
This cheerful news spread quickly in the online world, and immediately detonated a lively discussion and praise. "Who said that women are inferior to men", "men also have heroic dreams" and other praise words are endless.
As an outstanding female scientist who has made great contributions in the fight against a major epidemic, Ms. Chen Wei has completely broken the long-rooted gender bias with her extraordinary life experience.
The once-prevalent stereotypes that "women are not competent in certain fields" and "women should keep to themselves" are vulnerable to her glorious deeds.
This brave and fearless female hero not only shows women a new life possibility, but also inspires more men to be ambitious and brave to pursue their heroic dreams.
Her outstanding achievements and perseverance are the best interpretation of the spirit of patriotism in the new era. Back in 1989, when the season was full of life, 23-year-old Ms. Chen Wei was sitting on a train bound for Qingdao, immersed in a sea of books.
Despite her youth, she was already an elegant, intellectual, and knowledgeable woman.
This unique temperament attracted Mr. Ma Yiming in the same carriage. At that time, Ma Yiming was already over thirty years old, and he was deeply moved by the bookish aura emanating from Chen Wei's body, and looked at her quietly, as if surrounded by her unique charm.
Suddenly, Chen Wei raised her head, and the eyes of the two met just in time.
A beam of sunlight sprinkled on Ma Yiming's face through the window, as if the beautiful moment of love was unreservedly displayed in front of the world.
Faced that Chen Wei did not turn a deaf ear to his focused gaze, Ma Yiming mustered up the determination to move forward bravely, actively crossed the line and approached, and boldly invited Chen Wei to sit on the vacant seat beside him.
Although there is an obvious age gap between the two of them, after a brief conversation, they unexpectedly find that they have an unimaginable tacit understanding and like-mindedness.
Thoughts and souls seem to have found the perfect meeting point, and the conversation unfolds in an instant.
Ma Yiming told Chen Wei about his perseverance and unyielding life journey, despite his poor background, he finally won the noble profession of teacher with his unremitting hard work.
Chen Wei deeply admires this, because she knows that the fit of heart and mind is far better than the superficial age difference.
As a "lonely warrior" over 30 years old, Ma Yiming has always believed that one day he will be able to meet the confidant who has a close relationship with him. When he found this answer in Chen Wei, an unprecedented inferiority complex emerged in his heart - Chen Wei was not only young and promising, but also an outstanding student who had already been qualified for admission and was about to enter Tsinghua University to study for a master's degree.
How could such an outstanding woman be interested in her obscure self, but as the train moved farther and farther away, he realized that if he missed this opportunity, he would be left with endless regrets.
Therefore, when the train was about to reach the end point, he mustered up the courage to beg Chen Wei to leave his contact information, and surprisingly, Chen Wei agreed without hesitation.
Ma Yiming, who held the string of numbers, was excited, it was like a golden key to start a new life.
Although their acquaintance originated from a train journey, Chen Wei and Ma Yiming's love road was not all smooth sailing. Not long after establishing a relationship with Ma Yiming, Chen Wei made a decision that shocked her family - she decided to take the initiative to join the military and devote herself to the high-risk field of "graduate chemical weapons".
It turned out that after visiting the Academy of Military Medical Sciences by chance, Chen Wei was deeply attracted by the challenging and energetic atmosphere there. The main mission of this academy of sciences is to deal with the bad behavior of the United States in the use of bacteriological weapons in the Korean War after the end of World War II, and is committed to filling the gap in the field of biological and chemical weapons defense on the mainland.
Faced with the huge pressure of her family, Chen Wei was deeply troubled and doubted. However, Mr. Ma Yiming has always been unwavering in providing her with all-round support and understanding, and sincerely told her that his definition of the perfect woman must not be constrained by worldly concepts, and they should be brave enough to pursue the grandest dreams in their hearts.
So, in order to fulfill his beloved woman, Mr. Ma Yiming quit his stable job without hesitation and came to Beijing alone, just to be by Chen Wei's side at all times.
Since then, the two have started to live in a rented house, and although the financial conditions are not easy, they have enjoyed the sweet time of supporting each other and overcoming difficulties together.
After graduating with a master's degree in 1990, Ms. Chen Wei chose to join a large enterprise in Shenzhen, but she still had lofty ideals in her heart.
Finally, with the full support of Mr. Ma Yiming, Ms. Chen Wei resolutely bid farewell to a comfortable living environment and embarked on a challenging military career.
In the face of his wife's decision, Mr. Ma Yiming did not have any obstruction, but expressed his full support for her with practical actions. He is convinced that his beloved partner is not an ordinary person, and will definitely create his own brilliant chapter.
In 2003, the SARS epidemic raged in mainland China and became a deadly killer that threatened the lives of the people. At this critical juncture, Ms. Chen Wei and her research team gave up all their leisure time and stayed in the laboratory day and night.
In order to overcome this problem of the century in the shortest possible time, Ms. Chen Wei and her team members did not hesitate to take some extreme measures: they drastically reduced their food intake, and even wore adult diapers at work, even during sleep time.
There is only one reason, and that is that they know that time is of the essence, and every second of delay could lead to the death of more innocent people from the virus.
In the family, Ms. Chen Wei's husband, Mr. Ma Yiming, took on the responsibility of running the housework and taking care of the children alone. For more than 100 days, he did not see his wife return.
The children kept crying, and even had doubts and doubts about "whether there is really no mother in this world".
When faced with the children's innocent questions and doubts, the great mother Ma Yiming did not feel the slightest anger, but explained to them in detail with extreme patience: "At this moment, dear children, your mother is devoting herself to the cause of protecting public health, just like a magnificent hero who defends the country.
When the haze of the epidemic dissipates and the dawn of victory comes, you must kiss her on the cheek and offer an affectionate hug to express your high respect for her selfless dedication."
Although the children were too young to deeply understand the deep meaning behind the word "hero", they were deeply touched by Ma Yiming's words, and began to pay full attention to the busy figure of Chen Wei and her team on the TV screen, and sincerely kissed the image of their mother on the screen.
With the eagerness of the whole country, Chen Wei and her team finally achieved a milestone breakthrough! They proved for the first time in the world that they can effectively inhibit the replication of the SARS virus, and this outstanding achievement was quickly transformed into clinical treatment and became a miracle drug to fight the SARS epidemic.
Subsequently, the shocking Wenchuan earthquake in 2008 called Chen Wei to come forward again, and she did not hesitate to go to the disaster area and go all out to participate in the treatment of the wounded and epidemic prevention work.
During the Beijing Olympic Games, Chen Wei shouldered the crucial task of nuclear, biological and chemical anti-terrorism security, providing a solid security guarantee for this grand sports event.
In 2014, Chen Wei led the team to successfully develop a recombinant Ebola vaccine and won the clinical use license. This remarkable achievement not only caused a sensation in the domestic academic community, but also made China the first country in the world to have such a vaccine.
With this outstanding contribution, Chen Wei was successfully promoted to the rank of major general that year and won the reputation of "Goddess General for Protecting the Country".
