Zhang Boli is an excellent medical worker, who has been engaged in scientific research conscientiously for many years and devoted himself to the exploration and development of the modernization of traditional Chinese medicine. His famous deeds are many. For example, in the prevention of SARS, as the commander-in-chief of Tianjin's SARS treatment, he led the medical staff to establish the China Medical Team, and effectively used Chinese medicine to suppress the disease. In addition, he has been on the front line in the fight against the COVID-19 epidemic at the beginning of this year. At that time, he was over 70 years old, and he still accepted the call of the country without hesitation and actively contributed to the fight against the epidemic. The concept of integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine that he has always advocated has also played a very good role in epidemic prevention and control.

At the beginning of this year, a new type of coronary pneumonia suddenly appeared in China. At the beginning, the epidemic broke out in a large area and the number of cases surged day by day. Overloaded hospitals still failed to resist this fierce challenge. At this time, Academician Zhang Boli and the Department of Epidemic Prevention and Control visited and observed these hospitals. They found that the hospital was overcrowded at that time, with long queues for registration, crowded consultation rooms and full laboratories, making it difficult for critically ill patients to find wards. Some patients even stayed in the hospital for a long time and could not be placed. This situation is very bad for COVID-19, because it is easily infected. At this time, Academician Zhang Boli worried that such problems should be solved in time, otherwise it would aggravate the development of the epidemic. On the night of the visit, Academician Zhang Boli proposed at the conference on epidemic prevention and control that patients with different situations should be treated in different categories, patients with severe diseases and mild diseases should be treated in isolation, and close contacts and suspected cases should be isolated, and then treated according to the situation after the results are determined. In addition, Academician Zhang Boli proposed to requisition hotels, dormitories and other resources at the initial stage of the epidemic to solve the problem of insufficient isolation space in hospitals, and also developed Chinese medicines for patients to take. After taking the medicine, the condition of some patients improved obviously. The Medal of People's Heroes is an honor that Academician Zhang Boli deserves. His contribution to the people cannot be calculated by numbers. Such an excellent scientist is worth learning.
