Chapter 581: The State Thanks
In fact, for Liao Wenen, this is just the beginning.
At around 5 o'clock in the afternoon, the No. 2 leader of the state and other relevant leaders of the Ministry of Health, accompanied by reporters from major news media, took a military plane from Beijing or other places to the nearest military airport.
At the airport, accompanied by officers of the military region, they got on a military vehicle and came to the outside of Xiaowang Village, and when they just got off the bus, they were led by Sun Ruoshan, the top leader of Xiaowang Village, and under the leadership of Vice Minister of Health, they came to the village entrance 100 meters away early to greet them.
When the sound of cars came, the person in charge of traditional Chinese and Western medicine, members of the expert group of traditional Chinese and Western medicine, other ordinary doctors, female nurses, villagers who had not been infected with the plague, and villagers who had recovered from the plague, added up to about three or four hundred people.
It's just that now that they see so many military vehicles coming and so many news media reporters, those villagers are seeing it for the first time, Sun Ruoshan and they are also a little nervous and excited.
Premier Zeng, the No. 2 leader of the country, got down from the military vehicle first, and other relevant persons in charge of the Ministry of Health got down from the military vehicle one after another, followed by the No. 2 leader, Sun Ruoshan took Liao Wenen and them, and immediately greeted them.
"Premier Zeng, on behalf of all the people in Xiaowang Village, I warmly welcome you to come to inspect and condole!" Sun Ruoshan stood up and said first.
Premier Zeng's majestic and emaciated face looked around, and in the crowd, he finally saw Liao Wenen's figure, hurriedly walked over, grabbed Liao Wenen's hand and said, "Dean Liao, thank you for your hard work!"
Six years ago, when the plague broke out in the south, in fact, after the plague ended, Premier Zeng also went to inspect and comfort the doctors, patients, and nurses for the first time.
He didn't expect that six years ago, in this unknown small mountain village, there would be another outbreak of a more severe plague, which made him sleep and eat well for nearly a month.
As the No. 2 leader of the country, dealing with national affairs in ordinary times is a matter of managing all kinds of opportunities, and there are many things to deal with. Even though the outbreak of the plague here in Xiaowang Village was very severe, it was also impossible for him to find time to come over immediately, so he could only ask the Ministry of Health to send an important leader.
On the Ministry of Health, when the meeting was held, Sun Ruoshan was sent down. However, according to Sun Ruoshan's visit to Xiaowang Village, he found out about the situation here, and then reported it in time, every time he saw the news sent back, it made Premier Zeng feel uneasy.
He feared that the plague that broke out here in Xiaowang Village, like the plague that had broken out in the south six years earlier, would spread to other big cities, so that it would panic the country.
Of course, on the surface, the plague war ended in about six months, but from the beginning to the end, it really took more than a year, and the heavy impact caused by it was more than three years, or even more, so that people now are very aware of the plague back then.
When Premier Zeng convened relevant leaders in Zhongnanhai from time to time to discuss the outbreak of the plague in Xiaowang Village, he did not expect that the situation here would become more and more severe.
I thought that the first batch of local expert group members were sent first, and the local doctors from the three provinces did not play a role in suppressing the outbreak of the plague, but the second time I sent more experienced and more skilled Chinese and Western medicine doctors from Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen to form an expert group to come, which would have a certain effect.
Unexpectedly, these doctors came to play a certain role at first. However, from the news reported by Sun Ruoshan, the condition of those patients has indeed stabilized.
Next, when a large number of members of the expert group of traditional Chinese and Western medicine were infected and fell ill, at that time, Premier Zeng, who was still working overtime overnight, did not expect that to be like that.
At this time, Sun Ruoshan had already reported the situation here to him, but for the time being, he had not told anyone else, and then he urgently transferred female nurses, pharmacists, and Chinese medicinal materials from all over the country.
Premier Zeng was ready to take time out to come, no matter how dangerous it was, to go deep into the plague-stricken area, but he didn't expect that nearly a week had passed, and there was actually one person who had a great effect.
In the information reported by Sun Ruoshan, that person is Liao Wenen, a tenured professor of Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, the director of the Shanghai Affiliated Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, the vice president of the Shanghai Typhoid Fever School, and the vice president of the Shanghai Association of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
At the most dangerous moment of the outbreak of the plague in Xiaowang Village, he took the initiative to stand up with a fearless spirit, tried the medicine by himself, quickly found an effective general prescription, saved all the patients, and suppressed the outbreak of the plague in Xiaowang Village.
Therefore, on the military plane, Premier Zeng had already learned the news of Dean Liao, and learned that six years ago, President Liao also made great contributions as the person in charge of the plague war in Shanghai.
This time, it played the most critical role.
However, when he had just come from the military region in a military vehicle, in addition to recognizing Sun Ruoshan, he found the white-haired old man standing next to Sun Ruoshan.
Sun Ruoshan had already said in the report that Liao Wenen had gray hair overnight because he was worried about his granddaughter's condition and the condition of other villagers.
Therefore, when he saw Liao Wenen again, Premier Zeng was naturally very excited, grabbed Liao Wenen's hand tightly, and was speechless for a long time.
At this time, the surrounding news media reporters, including CCTV reporters, Xinhua News Agency reporters, People's Daily reporters, and other central media reporters, as well as other provinces and cities, including other important media reporters in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangdong, and so on, desperately pressed their cameras to take pictures of this scene.
They know that this scene will definitely shock the world's medical community, and even everyone in the world. So, they desperately took pictures, and maybe when the news awards were judged at the end of the year, these pictures would win the grand prize.
"Dean Liao, what the country needs most is the older generation of experts like you who have the courage to stand up!" said Premier Zeng as he held Liao Wenen's hand tightly.
Although Liao Wenen guessed that there might be media reporters of such a large scale coming down to interview, he didn't expect that it was the No. 2 leader of the country who came down in person, and even brought so many leaders down.
Now that he is being grasped like that by the No. 2 leader, he is also very excited. However, he knew very well that what Sun Ruoshan said now was not too true, because he knew very well that the real hero this time was Ye Chen, but Ye Chen gave the great credit to himself and others.
"Total, Prime Minister, I should do it. Liao Wenen said with a little trembling because of excitement.
At the beginning, Liao Wenen naturally didn't think of this. He knew better that the glory he now had in front of the No. 2 leader of the country and those news media reporters, as well as the glory of other members of the expert group, was all spelled out by Ye Chen himself.
However, Ye Chen was no longer here.
"Vice Minister Sun and Dean Liao, they all introduced me to these heroes!" said Premier Zeng as he looked at the members of the expert group of Chinese and Western medicine behind the two men.
Now the other members of the expert group of Chinese and Western medicine are very excited when they hear this, because they have ventured to come and not only survive, but even get the glory they want.
Most of them were infected with the plague, but now that they drank the prescription that Ye Chen had opened, they all came back to life, and they also had a kind of excitement to live again.
Of course, what excites them the most is that their efforts have not been in vain, and now the No. 2 leader of the country and other leaders of the Ministry of Health have come down with news media reporters to take pictures and interview them.
