易讀度：☆☆☆ 詞數 約250 建議用時5′30′′
“漸凍”院長張定宇，和死神賽跑的真漢子！
In the last few months, many people have moved us to tears. Among them are famous medical experts like Zhong Nanshan, great artists like Han Hong and tens of thousands of anonymous (不知姓名的) doctors and nurses. They have all tried their best to fight against COVID-19 (新冠肺炎). And today’s hero is one of them. His name is Zhang Dingyu.
Not familiar (熟悉的) with him? Keep reading. Zhang is a superman for many COVID-19 patients in Wuhan.
Born in Wuhan in 1963, Zhang is now head of Wuhan Jinyintan Hospital. Graduated from Huazhong University of Science and Technology, this 56-year-old is proud of being a doctor and always does his best. He joined the medical team to help save lives in the Wenchuan earthquake in 2008. In 2011, he worked in a hospital in Pakistan to help local patients. And after COVID-19 hit Wuhan, he worked day and night for weeks on end. It was quite usual for him to sleep only two hours a day! And there is one thing you might not know: he is an ALS (漸凍症) patient. However, the illness never stops him from working. Under the careful guidance of him, Wuhan Jinyintan Hospital has been doing a great job in their fight against COVID-19.
Zhang does things fast. He says, “My life is counting down … I have to run, racing against time to complete important missions (使命) …”
Zhang’s story has touched lots of people’s hearts. Hopefully, a remedy (解決辦法) for his illness can soon be found. So he won’t have to race against death himself!
