Chapter 45: Oriental Women

Chen Lin speaks fluent English, and her voice is crisp and slightly soft with a Chinese Jiangnan woman, which makes people feel very pleasant and kind. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info coupled with her delicate appearance and refined temperament, won the favor of reporters.

But, out of professional habit, the questions asked by journalists are still scathing, even tricky.

A reporter from the British Times first asked a question, he said: "Miss Chen, penicillin, which is the antibiotic you are talking about, was first invented on February 13, 1928 by Fleming, a professor of bacteriology at St. Mary's School of Medicine, University of London. ”

Chen Lin said: "In order to develop more effective antibiotic drugs, not only the UK, but also scientists from many countries, including the United States and Germany, are conducting research, and they have also made their own progress. Professor Fleming has contributed to this project, but no substantial progress has been made so far.

We can't just because the British used to eat stuffed bread, Americans and us Chinese can't eat sandwiches anymore, you say? ”

Chen Lin's good-natured joke caused the reporters to laugh.

A reporter from Newsweek asked, "Miss Chen, how far has the antibiotic you are researching?" ”

Chen Lin said: "We have mastered the mature production technology, and I believe that it will soon be able to be mass-produced to benefit thousands of patients." ”

A reporter from the New York Times asked: "This antibiotic drug is banned by the National Food and Drug Administration in the United States, and it is said that this drug has great side effects and may endanger people's lives. ”

Chen Lin said: "People's physique is different, and the response to drugs is also different. As we all know, most people feel comfortable when flowers bloom in spring, but some people are allergic to pollen, and even the most beautiful flowers must be avoided.

The same is true for penicillin, most people have no problem using it, but a small number of people may have adverse reactions. I can now tell you unequivocally that we have overcome this technical problem. I have invited you here today to confirm the news.

As for the NMPA, I firmly believe that the United States is a democratic and enlightened country, and they will not refuse good things for the benefit of mankind. ”

Chen Lin's words won everyone's approval.

At this time, Mark, a well-known reporter for the Associated Press, asked a question, and he asked from a usual tricky angle: "You are going to conduct a clinical trial, and you don't know which patients to be the subject of your trial?" If this dangerous experiment is carried out with us Americans, I think it would be inhumane. ”

A correspondent from the British Times also said: "I am also firmly opposed to the use of our noble nationals of the British Empire for such experiments." ”

The reporter of the British National News Agency spoke even more ugly, he said: "Let you Orientals carry out this inhumane experiment, their lives are worthless." ”

The reporters in the audience were full of discussions. Liu Xiaoling and Xia Yu, who were on the side, both knew a little English, and when they saw the reporter's criticism, they all sweated for Chen Lin.

Chen Lin always had a smile on her face and waited patiently for everyone to discuss.

Chen Lin's calm and elegance seemed to have a kind of magic power, making those who were talking about it feel that they should pay attention to their demeanor, so the sound of discussion stopped. They all looked at Chen Lin to see how she answered.

Chen Lin said elegantly: "I agree with everyone, it is indeed inhumane to use an immature and dangerous technology for patients to experiment. Here, I would like to correct what Mr. Reporter just said, whether it is a Western or an Easterner, they are all part of the human race, and there is no distinction between dignity and inferiority. It is equally inhumane to do experiments that cannot be done on Westerners, but on Easterners.

How can you confirm the effects of this antibiotic?

I'm telling you that the trial has to be done, and it has to be done by human patients. ”

Speaking of this, Chen Lin looked at the reporters who were focused on her, and said firmly: "The object of this experiment is me!" ”

Silence, silence.

The reporters and people from the University of Wisconsin-Madison all looked at the beautiful and elegant woman in front of them with admiration.

Liu Xiaoling's blood surged, and she stood up and said, "I am also willing to accept the test." ”

Xia Yu continued: "And me. ”

Chen Lin's mentor Robertson was also excited, and he stood up and said, "Add me." I am Chen Lin's mentor and I believe in my students. ”

Mark, a well-known reporter for the Associated Press, was moved and took the lead in applauding.

Next, the reporters witnessed Chen Lin and others receiving the infection of the tuberculosis virus, determined that they were infected with the tuberculosis virus, and then carried out treatment. That's when they left.

Since the process of treatment is not immediate, the reporters agreed with the University of Wisconsin-Madison Hospital that once the treatment has achieved obvious results, they will be notified immediately, and they will make relevant reports.

Although no final conclusion was reached about this incident, it was not without newsworthiness, and the reporters returned to their respective newspapers and immediately began to rush to write press releases.

The next day, major newspapers reported on the medical trial in a prominent position, and Chen Lin was naturally the main point of the news.

Mark wrote the article: "Courage - An Oriental Woman's Choice". The article reports on Lin's life story, her experience studying at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Her contribution to the study of the antibiotic drug penicillin was reported. Of course, Chen Lin's personal test of medicine is the focus of it.

Mark wrote: "When Dr. Chen Lin made the decision that made the man so embarrassed, I could hardly believe that this young and beautiful Oriental woman, the daughter of an ancient Chinese magnate, had the courage that did not belong to the Orientals.

I have to admit that Dr. Chen Lin is one of the bravest and most admirable women I have ever met. ”

The article by the correspondent of the British Times is: "The Wisdom of the Orientals"

The article reads: "Seeing the beautiful Miss Chen Lin from China, a distant oriental country, I have to admit that they are likely to surpass the scientists of the British Empire in the study of the antibiotic drug penicillin, although they have not yet reached a final conclusion, but they seem to be confident." ”

Other communication rooms also made relevant reports, and newspapers also published large photos of Chen Lin. Attracting the attention of a wide range of readers, Chen Lin's name and penicillin's name are very popular in the United States and Britain. Other Western countries have also rushed to reprint the report, and readers are concerned about the final outcome of the experiment.

The Chinese embassy in the United States also noticed the news, and soon the news reached the ears of Admiral Chen Cheng.
