Hello, everyone! The greatest person I know of is Dr. Zhong Nanshan, who managed the SARS outbreaks in China in 2003. Now it's he who prevented the COVID-19 from quick spread all over the country once again. To me, greatness means sacrifice and devotion. Dr Zhong Nanshan took risks entering the isolated area to cure the patients, summarizing the infected but recovered cases and sharing his successful experience with other home and abroad doctors. He serves as a good role model and makes great contributions to society. That's all. Thank you!
