Xinhua News Agency reporters Chen Fang, Tian Xiaohang and Hu Zhe
History faithfully records the leap of a country's health and health undertakings from weak to strong, and also witnesses the glory of Peking Union Medical College Hospital, a medical temple, for a hundred years of "Xu Guo for the People".
Here, the beginning of each day is "from the beginning of zero": the lights, like daylight; the crowd, shuttling like a stream; life, here to protect.
Here, out of Zhang Xiaoqian, Lin Qiaozhi, Zeng Xianjiu and other medical giants, but also trained a large number of medical discipline leaders. Countless "medical firsts" were born here.
From 1921 to 2021 - with the heart of saving suffering, being a great doctor, and treating patients like relatives has not changed. Opening the road of "Chinese medical science" is closely linked to the history of the development of modern Chinese medicine, which is the century-old Concord, a hospital that entrusts the lives of patients, and a monument in the history of modern Chinese medicine.
On September 16, veteran experts of Peking Union Medical College Hospital prepared a group photo after the celebration meeting. On the same day, the conference to celebrate the 100th anniversary of peking union medical college hospital was held in the academic hall of peking union medical college hospital. Over the past 100 years, Peking Union Medical College Hospital has been committed to overcoming medical problems, cultivating medical talents, providing high-quality health services, and making positive contributions to promoting the development of medicine and health and protecting people's lives and health.

Eternal pursuit - "All for the patient"
People always say, "Dr. Lin Qiaozhi has a special attraction!" ”
An action, a look, a word, let people feel the extraordinary character contained in a thin body.
What is lin qiaozhi's special attraction? In the eyes of concord doctors, it is extreme enthusiasm, extreme responsibility for patients and work.
Walk to the patient's bedside, pull the patient's hand, tuck the patient's quilt horn, put the ear on the pregnant woman's abdomen to listen to the fetal heart, smile and say: "Very good!" "The patient's anxiety is relieved, irritability is replaced by a smile, and the labor process is smooth...
Lin Qiaozhi, who has never been married or childbearing for life, personally welcomed more than 50,000 new lives and was known as the "mother of ten thousand babies". Sincerity and love are the background of her medical practice.
In the early 1960s, Dr. Lin's office was in a cabin on the 15th floor next to the aisle on the 3rd floor. This super cramped office has only one window, but is "functional" powerful.
The opposite is the delivery room, and through the window, the activity in the delivery room is faintly visible. As soon as the mother has a "special" sound, Dr. Lin will rush to go immediately, more than 30 seconds!
Even in the last moments of his life, he still has a patient in his heart. This is the great doctor's benevolence.
"Comrade Zhang Guichun, you have been in the hospital for nearly a month after your medical consultation on September 14, and you should return to the hospital for follow-up and perform ultrasound, ercp and other examinations to clarify the diagnosis, and I hope you will not delay." In October 1984, Zeng Xianjiu, a famous foreign scientist, because the patient did not follow up on time and could not rest assured, wrote this letter and wrote a letter to the leader of Zhang Guichun's unit to urge it together.
Zhang Guichun did not know that Zeng Xianjiu at that time was already in the advanced stage of lung cancer. The distance from home to the hospital is only 200 meters, and you have to take a few breaks on the road.
Years later, Zhang Guichun, who had recovered his health, still remembered seeing Dr. Zeng again: "He looked up at me, was happy, and said, 'Are you finally here?'" Why don't you cherish life yourself? You little comrade'. Listening to him say that, I felt a special warmth. ”
Zhang Xiaoqian, Lin Qiaozhi, Zeng Xianjiu, Liu Shihao, Wu Yingkai, Song Hongzhao, Deng Jiadong, Zhang Naizheng, Fang Xi, Zhu Xian... Behind the miracle of life is the spiritual monument of the virtuous and virtuous deeds of these "great doctors" -
People-centered, all for the patient!
In the past hundred years, from Xiehe, there have been more than 100 modern medical giants, 13 presidents of the Chinese Medical Association, and 6 Nightingale Medal winners... They have pioneered and led the development of many medical disciplines and explored a path of medical practice that suits China's national conditions.
"The doctors of Concord are all 'smoked', and this kind of 'smoking' is the words and deeds of the older generation to the younger generation." Zhang Shuyang, president of Peking Union Medical College Hospital, said that having the heart to save suffering, being a great doctor, treating patients like relatives, and improving patient satisfaction are the unchanging concept and adherence of Concord for a hundred years.
"The scalpel should also shine with a warm light" - Academician Lang Jinghe of the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department of Union Hospital said that the words and deeds of the older generation have affected generations of Concordia people, and the spirit of "rigor, refinement, diligence and dedication" has taken root and blossomed in the new era.
Faced with the "overload" of receiving more than 10,000 patients every day, Concord has never given up its efforts.
Since 2015, Concord has launched self-developed apps and self-service machines to open one-stop appointments for outpatient examinations and examinations; in 2021, "Peking Union Medical College Hospital Internet Hospital" was approved as the first Internet hospital in Beijing, allowing patients from all over the world to change from "Ben Xiehe" to "Ask Concordia".
The medical guidance team of more than 200 people helps patients to seek medical treatment smoothly, sets up a "warm hut" to provide personalized services for the elderly, "palliative care" brings patients the warmth of the last journey, and the endoscopic center flutters with soothing and beautiful violin music to relieve patients' nervousness... The ganlin of love sprinkles in every corner of Concord.

Climb the "dangerous peak" and break into the "forbidden area" - "rigorous, refined" to create miracles
In the journey of medical exploration, Concord has created countless "firsts".
Renal osteodystrophy, named after Chinese, was first proposed internationally;
Successfully carried out the first surgical treatment of esophageal cancer and the first case of pancreatic duodenectomy in China;
Through clinical combination of basic research, the diagnosis and treatment of pituitary tumors has reached the international advanced level from almost blank...
What is the "forbidden area" that others can't break into? It is the scientific spirit of "three bases and three strictness" and the enduring innovative spirit of the concord doctors.
Since its establishment, Concord has preserved more than 4 million cases. This is the beginning of modern case management in China, and it is also a miracle of the medical case history of Chinese hospitals.
Although many of the papers have been yellowed, the handwriting of the medical cases is neat, the words are smooth, the records are well documented, and sometimes a hand-drawn disease map is embellished, which has become a living "teaching material" and a precious medical code for the Concordia people. The "rigor and refinement" flowing in the blood of concord people is fully demonstrated in every word and sentence.
Zhang Xiaoqian, who did not leave a huge work, was regarded by doctors as the peak of an era. The "miracle" of diagnosis and treatment again and again reflects his rigorous attitude of "walking on thin ice like an abyss".
Some of the doctors who worked with him always remembered that Zhang Xiaoqian was almost blind in his right eye in his later years, and he could not see people clearly from a meter away from his left eye. He carefully and painstakingly took notes, and the words were still unconsciously written in a string of lines...
He has been practicing medicine for more than 60 years, and more than 50 small books have recorded the bits and pieces of patients. When encountering difficult cases, Zhang Xiaoqian can casually point out that a patient in a certain ward is similar to this at a certain time, and the patient seems to have never left his side.
Many people once wanted to explore the secrets of the medical path from a small book, and he said lightly: "No matter how high his skills are, a doctor's understanding of the patient's condition is endless." ”
The rigor of the "great doctor" is enshrined as the standard, and the spirit of "seeking refinement" is passed on.
Wu Yingkai, a cardiothoracic scientist, "cannot tolerate a grain of sand" in his eyes: the bed must be white and flat; there must be no traces of tape on the skin of surgical patients; the skin must be cut in a complete straight line, and each stitch sutured must be uniform and smooth.
The windows are opened in a line, pillows and kettles are arranged in one direction, the cleaning even the bed rudders have to be wiped clean, and more than 500 specialist nurses in more than 30 specialties such as intensive care provide better nursing services to patients... In the development of Concord Nursing's career, "refinement" is everywhere.
"Clinical do not leave the bed", problem-oriented, Concord people continue to overcome difficulties -
Academician Song Hongzhao's team took the lead in the world to improve the death rate from 90% to 90% of the radical cure rate; academician Qiu Guixing led the orthopedic team to propose the idiopathic scoliosis "concord typing" to reduce the incidence of spinal imbalance from 13.2% of "king classification" to 2.7%...
Concord continues to challenge the "Everest" of intractable diseases, acute and critical diseases and rare diseases.
Establish 27 outpatient and difficult disease consultation professional groups, build "five major centers" for chest pain, stroke, trauma, critical maternal treatment, and critical newborn treatment, and multidisciplinary diagnosis and treatment models have blossomed everywhere... Step by step, Concord's ability to deal with difficult diseases has been continuously improved.
From an expert professor to a multidisciplinary team, from a case to a biological sample bank, from a library to a "knowledge base" powered by big data... Always following the principle of "high progress, excellent education, and strict out", the "Three Treasures" of Xiehe, which is known for "professors, medical cases and libraries", are constantly given new connotations and profound meanings.
"The core mission of the hospital is to treat diseases and save people, and patient safety is the cornerstone of climbing the peak of medicine." Whether the hospital is good or not, the patient has the final say, this is the gold standard for evaluating the hospital. Academician Zhao Yupei, honorary president of Peking Union Medical College Hospital, said.
This is the scene of the celebration event filmed on September 16. On the same day, the conference to celebrate the 100th anniversary of peking union medical college hospital was held in the academic hall of peking union medical college hospital.

Have a big heart - "as long as the country and the people need it"
"The fountain of life, even if mixed with blood and tears, will flow in its own land." In the past hundred years, Peking Union Medical College Hospital has produced countless outstanding talents and patriotic heroes, and has made great contributions to the country from many aspects such as science, discipline and patriotism.
National advanced grass-roots party organizations, national advanced collectives in fighting the new crown pneumonia epidemic, "models of the times" - national anti-epidemic medical team, national March 8 red flag collective, national civilized units... The heavy honor is the supreme recognition of the courage of the Concordia people to undertake the mission.
At the beginning of 2020, the new crown pneumonia epidemic was fierce. As soon as the mobilization order came out, in just a dozen hours, 3306 Concordia people signed up for battle.
Zhang Shuyang, then secretary of the Party Committee of Peking Union Medical College Hospital, and Han Ding, vice president of Peking Union Medical College Hospital, led 186 members of the Concord and national anti-epidemic medical teams to wuhan. The team members cover respiratory and critical care medicine, intensive care medicine, infectious internal medicine, as well as ophthalmology, otolaryngology, anesthesiology, etc., more than 80% of them are "post-80s" and "post-90s".
"Always ready to sacrifice everything for the party and the country!" This is not an empty phrase. Recalling the days of the "epidemic" of the concentric war, Zhang Shuyang choked up several times. "Let the party flag fly high on the front line of the fight against the epidemic." Even if there is a glimmer of hope, we must pull the patient back from the hands of death! ”
The medical team brought concord's 41 core systems, and carried out 37 trainings for medical staff on the spot in a problem-oriented and precise manner. Concordia people have become the mainstay of the "line of fire" in the fight against the epidemic, and have contributed the "Concord experience" of severe treatment of new crown pneumonia to China and even the world.
"Personally experiencing this war and 'epidemic', we understand the strength of the healers, and even more understand the greatness of the party." Wu Peixin, secretary of the party committee of Peking Union Medical College Hospital, said that since 2020, the number of party members in Peking Union Medical College Hospital has increased by 50%, and the proportion of middle and senior intellectuals in new party members has reached nearly 50%.
Making people happy is "the greatest of the country."
From the establishment of China's first Ministry of Social Services to the establishment of the first public health office, from the "great rounds" of internal medicine that have been handed down for a hundred years to the "Dingxian model" of exploring the establishment of a rural tertiary medical network, from the "rural circuit medical team led by the master" to the "group-style" group of medical talents in the new era to tibet... At every important historical juncture, concord people can always shoulder heavy responsibilities and live up to their mission.
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, a Red Cross ambulance team was formed to save lives on the battlefield and to go to all parts of the country to preserve the medical torch; during the period of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, he participated in volunteer surgery teams and admitted and treated the wounded of the volunteer army. During the war years, the Concordia people practiced the Zhengzheng oath that "the country rises and falls, and the pirate has the responsibility".
After the founding of New China, Concordia responded to the call of the party and the state, sent a large number of experts to support the construction of medical and health undertakings across the country, and participated in the establishment of dozens of well-known hospitals, medical schools and research institutions.
Since the reform and opening up, as the "national team" of health and the "vanguard" of public hospitals, Concord has helped the medical and health undertakings in grass-roots and remote areas for decades, bravely become the "test field" and "pioneer" of medical reform, and shoulder the mission of providing diagnosis and treatment services for acute and critical diseases and difficult and complex diseases.
On the occasion of Concord's new centennial journey, a number of high-end medical research platforms such as the National Medical Center, the Comprehensive Building of Translational Medicine, and the State Key Laboratory will focus on major scientific issues in the field of medicine, benchmark "world-class", and develop key core technologies.
"Every thrilling rescue, every major round of discussion and debate, every late night lights that do not go out, infect and inspire a new generation of Concorde people." In the future, young people should make the Union Medical Tao better inherit and promote. "Post-80s," said Wu Nan, an orthopedic surgeon.
"We must dedicate the warmest love and the most exquisite medical skills to the people, accelerate the construction of 'Chinese characteristics, world-class' hospitals, and write a new chapter of harmony for the protection of people's lives and health." Zhang Shuyang said.
