Female general on the front line of the epidemic

Chen Wei is one of the few female generals in my country. She once said that the epidemic is military intelligence and the epidemic area is the battlefield. In the face of the COVID-19 epidemic, she acted upon orders and rushed to help Jingchu.

On January 26, 2020, the second day of the Chinese New Year, General Chen Wei arrived in Wuhan. From the moment she entered the epidemic area, she started to work very hard. Speed ​​is Chen Wei's biggest characteristic. She walks fast, speaks fast, and works fast.

Two days after Chen Wei's team entered Wuhan, the new coronavirus nucleic acid detection kit developed by her and her colleagues passed the emergency approval of the national competent authority and obtained a medical device registration certificate, enabling rapid detection of the new coronavirus and accelerating the speed of diagnosis, which is undoubtedly an important achievement.

The key to epidemic prevention and control lies in early detection, early isolation, early diagnosis and early treatment. In order to solve this problem, Chen Wei's team set up a negative pressure tent testing laboratory in just 4 days. On January 30, it was put into use to provide a basis for clinical treatment. The most hardcore thing is that she put forward many correct insights to guide the fight against the epidemic. Netizens praised: "This is what an academician should say, professional and visionary!"

Chen Wei once said that when you put on this military uniform, you have to do everything you should do. She often encourages the officers and soldiers in the team that in the battlefield of biological prevention and control, we are the front line of the front line! This "front line" means that we have to repeatedly risk our lives, fight hand-to-hand with various deadly pathogens, and fight desperately in the invisible battlefield.

Facing the general's courageous action, we are sincerely moved! Military uniforms mean responsibility, dedication, sacrifice for the country, and protection of peace. Military uniforms are the country's thick shield. The real burden of the nation is never the bright and beautiful meteor, but the silent and hardworking countrymen. They are the backbone of the country and the hope of the nation!

Chosen Gangnam Beauty

Chen Wei, from Lanxi, Jinhua, Zhejiang, is a beautiful girl from the south of the Yangtze River. When people look at her resume, they are surprised to find that Chen Wei's becoming a scientist is really a beautiful accident. At the age of 18, she was admitted to Zhejiang University for undergraduate studies. Four years later, she was recommended to Tsinghua University for a master's degree. However, she still did not want to do scientific research. Although she is a science student, she has a wide range of interests and is good at writing. She was once the deputy editor-in-chief of a campus magazine and dreamed of becoming a writer. She is pure and beautiful, lively by nature, dancing gracefully, with beautiful hair like clouds and eyes like water. She is active in weekend dances on campus, but she is a real academic bully.

In everyone's eyes, Chen Wei is romantic, avant-garde, and a veritable goddess of Tsinghua University. She will not be able to engage in scientific research in the future. Life is often full of surprises. In 1991, Chen Wei graduated from graduate school. With the ideal of serving the country by joining the army, she not only wanted to engage in scientific research, but also entered the Academy of Military Medical Sciences, which gathers talents from all over the world. The glorious history, sacred mission, cutting-edge topics, and advanced scientific research equipment of the Academy of Military Sciences deeply attracted her. A strong desire to devote herself to it made her blood boil, and she embarked on a long journey to climb the cutting edge of medicine.

No one would have thought that this beautiful and delicate woman, after putting on a military uniform, would lead a more fierce and cool life, a future that would change China and even the world!

The "devil" subjects she studied included plague, anthrax, smallpox, Ebola...

Each one is extremely dangerous. If you are not careful, the consequences will be disastrous. Viruses are the biggest killer of public health. In wartime, they may be weapons in the hands of the enemy, and in peacetime, they may become large-scale epidemics, bringing disaster to the country and the nation. She has the responsibility to devote herself to it and develop a biological shield to protect the country and the people. Chen Wei's main focus is antiviral drugs. She is the chosen girl and is invincible.

Chen Wei is very beautiful! She has received the praise from more than one billion people! One word to describe her: beautiful! Two words: really beautiful! Beauty is in the heart, in the actions, and in the feelings. Her love view is even more touching! Follow your heart, just for love, depend on each other, and be independent. Try to live as a part of each other.

Targeting the SARS Pillar

Chen Wei is an outstanding daughter of the Chinese nation. The SARS outbreak in 2003 pushed Chen Wei onto the stage of history. At that time, many medical staff were infected with SARS. The 37-year-old Chen Wei was ordered to take charge of the situation, faced the challenge, and rushed to the front line of the fight against the epidemic.

To develop a vaccine to prevent SARS virus, she led the team to work day and night to race against time. To race against the virus, she led the research team to risk their lives and come into close contact with the SARS virus. To conduct in vitro cell tests on SARS virus and build new animal experimental models, she and her colleagues worked more than ten hours a day in a negative pressure laboratory. She fought in isolation for more than 100 days, and she did not return home for a single day. She traveled to 83 designated hospitals across the country to guide medication and collect data among high-risk groups.

The "recombinant human interferon ω spray" developed by her team played a key role in the fight against SARS. After 14,000 medical staff across the country used it, the success rate reached 100%, and no one was infected with SARS. She protected 14,000 medical staff and 14,000 families. Chen Wei became a god for this battle. She is truly the pillar of the fight against SARS!

In May 2008, when the Wenchuan earthquake struck, Chen Wei was the leader of the health and epidemic prevention team. She led her team into Sichuan despite the aftershocks and fought the epidemic for two months. After returning home from the disaster area, she immediately joined the Beijing Olympics. She led her team to successfully handle several suspected nuclear, biological and chemical incidents. This year, Chen Wei was named one of the top ten outstanding young people in the country and won the China Youth Science and Technology Innovation Outstanding Award. We have to sigh, except for your body covered in three feet of snow, who in the world is worthy of white clothes?

"Ebola Terminator"

Chen Wei, a name that has attracted worldwide attention. Everyone on earth knows that the earth is a village. A virus that seems to be thousands of miles away is actually only one flight away from us.

The Ebola virus is highly contagious, with a mortality rate of 50%-90%, making the world shudder. In 2006, Chen Wei keenly captured the poisonous demon Ebola and won the 863 Program "Recombinant Ebola Vaccine Project".

No one expected Chen Wei to become the "whistleblower" of the Ebola virus. In 2014, the Ebola virus broke out in West Africa. The World Health Organization and the European and American aid teams in Africa were unable to find any results and were basically defeated and had no solution.

Chen Wei, what a brave woman, she saved the African people from the threat of death. Chen Wei, what a loyal woman! It was she who defeated the virus, guarded the country's borders, and realized the first overseas clinical trial of Chinese vaccines.

Ebola is so dangerous and Chen Wei's journey is so tragic. In 2015, the World Health Organization announced that the spread of the Ebola virus had stopped. At that moment, the whole world took notice and many Chinese people were proud.

It was she who built a safety barrier for the people in the epidemic area. In recognition of her achievements, people praised her as the "Ebola virus terminator". In order to pay tribute to her, the prototype of Dr. Chen in the movie "Wolf Warrior 2" was Chen Wei.

A great scientist

Chen Wei is an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and a researcher at the Academy of Military Sciences. From fighting SARS and Ebola to the current COVID-19 prevention and control, she has always been at the forefront at every critical moment. When everything was peaceful, she never relaxed. She has long been famous in the academic world, but her scientific research is endless. She is usually working on scientific research and rarely returns home before 12 o'clock. For the sake of scientific research, she even took only one month of maternity leave and rushed back to the laboratory to focus on the world of viruses.

She has been dancing with "drugs" for 30 years, always keeping a close eye on all biosafety risks that may affect the country. Taking the initiative and fighting proactively are her pursuit as a scientist, and her responsibility and commitment as a soldier. Over the years, Chen Wei has bravely ventured into the unmanned area of ​​biosafety, built a strong shield for biological prevention and control for the country, used the power of science and technology to maintain national security, protect people's health, and transform scientific research results into combat effectiveness. Chen Wei feels that this is the greatest compliment to her.

Facing the flowers and applause, she said affectionately, I am a mother, a daughter, and a wife. I hope my family is healthy and everyone in the world is healthy.

She is as peaceful and indifferent as the green mountains, endures the loneliness of the four seasons, endures the hardships of cold and heat, and works silently on the land. She loves her body and mind, is not afraid of the risk of physical injury, and fully demonstrates the demeanor of a doctor. She hopes that in this world, no more children will lose the color of childhood because of SARS, Ebola, and the new crown.

This wish is difficult, but she keeps persisting!

Protecting China and the world, she has repeatedly demonstrated the iron-blooded responsibility of Chinese soldiers to the world. The country and the nation need such people, and the world also needs such people!

General Chen Wei is worthy of being the backbone of China and the mainstay of China. General Chen Wei is a true national hero, worthy of the whole world's bow and respect! She deserves the love, respect, and worship of every person with a conscience!

Every young man full of vigor and vitality! May you live up to your youth, work hard, follow the footsteps of General Chen Wei throughout your life, and closely link your own destiny with the destiny of the country.
