Question

Zhang Dingyu, the director of Wuhan Jinyintan Hospital, leads over 600 doctors and nurses fighting against the novel coronavirus pneumonia, which has caused hundreds of deaths in central Hubei Province. As Zhang led over 600 doctors and nurses fighting the disease, his strange way of walking shocked his colleagues. He finally admitted that he had fallen ill with ALS（渐冻症）since October 2018 after constant researches. ALS is a disease that gradually blocks the connection between brain and body. People with ALS become partially paralyzed（瘫痪的）leading to respiratory（呼吸系统的）failure. While working with handicapped（瘸的）legs, his wife was confirmed to get infected with the virus after working in another hospital. The bad news brought him to his knees, and he cried for the first time after the virus broke out. Zhang could only find time to visit his wife until three days after she was sent to hospital. Even then he could only stay there for 30 minutes. Fortunately, the good news came that his wife had recovered ten days after treatment.

Zhang, 57, has offered medical services along with Chinese medical teams to many areas. Three days after the earthquake hit central Sichuan Province in 2008, Zhang entered the city with his medical team members to offer help.

“Life is always short. I need to do more to finish the things that I might leave behind, then I would leave without too many regrets.” Zhang said. “We are at the center of a storm, so we need to give all we have to protect our city, and our Wuhan people.” Zhang said.
