Has repeatedly reported on the deeds of Li Huanying. This is the report of July 13, 1990 and in December 1, 2002.
12 yesterday, the world famous experts, leprosy at the age of 95, Li Huanying was wearing the red cashmere scarf. The first time wearing the scarf, or on the back and gave lectures on the municipal Party school.
"I rarely wear bright colors. I want to say today, because the flag is red."
Li Huanying carefully stroking your hair tidy, collar red scarf, raised his right fist. She stood in the middle of a group of new members, old voice full of years of polished certainty: "I volunteer to join the Communist Party of China......"
I'm not qualified, only time
"Beloved party organization: 1958, I have resigned from the WHO in Indonesia, Burma appoint sub division and syphilis of two tropical diseases expert position; has been moved to the United States to bid farewell to the parents, decided to return home. I am very proud and proud to vote for the motherland...... I really love the Communist Party of China, sincerely apply to join the Communist Party of china. I have entered into a ripe old age, but are willing to Party membership for the treatment of leprosy cause life! Ask the party to test me!"
In 2016, Li Huanying submitted an application to join the party to the party organization.
Why in the late years of joining the party? "I'm not qualified, but I'm afraid it's too late." Li Huanying sincere words, "the pursuit of scientific truth, the party is also the pursuit of truth." Engaged in a lifetime of research on her scientific attitude is extremely rigorous, to join the party self too harsh.
So when I heard the news, friendship hospital, former deputy secretary of Party committee Zheng Ruifen excited. Professor Lee a few decades ago have joined the party, did not think she waited so long."
1998, Yunnan Mengla leprosy village". A boat crossed the river and stopped at the gate. Li Huanying and Zheng Ruifen on the boat saw the people waiting on the shore. This was once a group of leprosy patients, they are waiting for their friend Li Huanying cure. Now, here is no longer "leprosy village", called "mannan awake", meaning "new copycat", Li Huanying personally take the name.
77 year old Li Huanying first set foot on the shore.
"Our" Moore Dai "(the doctor)!"...... Along the way, there are people rush about telling the news around spreading. Researcher at the Beijing Friendship Hospital, Beijing Tropical Medicine Research Institute Li Huanying, here is known to every family "Moore dai".
Li Huanying pulled a guy who had followed her and said, "take off your shoes." The young man took off his shoes in accordance with the statement, revealing the foot of infected with leprosy.
At this point, Li Huanying made a shocking move to Zheng Ruifen. Her hand into the boy's shoes, feel no sand and nails, and then put on.
This action, Li Huanying will visit each year to do. Leprosy is a chronic infectious disease that mainly affects the skin and peripheral nerves. She teaches them to learn not to mind taking the trouble of self-protection, to avoid skin damage, fester.
In a Dai bamboo house before the owner with a banana leaf wrapped in a rice and vegetable roll to Li Huanying, she did not wash his hands, grinning back to eat.
Isn't she afraid? Li Huanying is not afraid. "Soldiers are aware of the bullets, the battlefield is not going forward? There are no bullets. I can't even imagine that I'm infected - let you see for yourself that I can cure it now!"
Before going to bed, Zheng Ruifen asked Li Huanying, "you were paying so much, there is no thought Chinese joined the Communist Party?" Li Huanying shook her head without thinking, "Zheng secretary, I think I have enough conditions. I actually have a lot of shortcomings, straight talk, easy to offend people. But I'll keep on trying!"
In 1998 this year, held in Beijing, the fifteenth session of the international leprosy conference, China announced to the world successfully eliminate leprosy. WHO official Nordin said: "the world leprosy prevention and treatment work, Li Huanying is doing the best."
Back to the motherland, dedicated to the people
Now, in China, only sporadic cases of leprosy. "These should be attributed to Li Huanying. Serve the people heart and soul. She is a model for us to learn." Friendship Hospital former party secretary Zhang Zhongmin said.
Li Huanying first saw leprosy patients in 1970. At that time, the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences Institute of Dermatology, she, along with the unit into a leprosy village in Jiangsu. Due to the lack of effective treatment methods, past the most humane approach is to leprosy patients rushed to a remote place, the emerge of itself and perish of itself.
This scene stimulated Li Huanying. She reminds me of 1957 WHO refused to "5 year contract extension" the invitation from the United States after return to the original intention: to help the motherland compatriots, to curb the spread of the disease because of poverty.
In 1978, Li Huanying was transferred to the Beijing Friendship Hospital, Institute of Tropical Medicine, at the age of 57 to conquer leprosy.
In 1982, Li Huanying submitted a detailed report on the situation of leprosy China to WHO. At the beginning of the year, she came to Yunnan County, Mengla Province, with the free drug.
Every morning at 6Li Huanying, 62 years old, to go to the mountain road, ten kilometers, across a river into the village of leprosy. Looking from door to door lepers, to persuade them to medication, for their treatment.
But who's going to take medicine to cure the patient takes six or seven years, too long! Li Huanying after the study, decided to carry out drug withdrawal 24 months of short-term combination chemotherapy. Two years later, as a pilot of all leprosy patients were cured in Mengla. In the end, the treatment reduced the nation's leprosy patients from 110 thousand to less than 10000, with an annual recurrence rate of only about $0.03%.
In 1994, the short-range combined therapy by WHO in the global promotion, for the treatment of leprosy.
In 2001, Li Huanying presided over the "national control strategy, and basic elimination of leprosy prevention and treatment research" won the first prize of national science and technology progress.
To live a hundred years, the rest of life with the party
When working in Yunnan leprosy village, Li Huanying is very concerned about a Communist Party member - Mengla County Deputy Secretary of the county to build a new knife.
One day, Li Huanying found when he was Deputy Secretary of the friendship hospital, Zheng Ruifen, look serious, Zheng secretary, you have to help Dao Jianxin."
In 1950, a young and promising new knife suddenly disappeared from work. Leprosy caused him to lose the chance to have a family reunion, let him sad, he has a good many years do not pay dues ".
Li Huanying knows that the "membership" is to build a new knife decades of knot, do not solve this problem, even if he cannot get cured of leprosy.
Zheng Ruifen and Li Huanying together to find the health department of Yunnan Province, solemnly conveyed knife to return to life, build a new organization wishes to pay membership dues.
Soon after Zheng Ruifen returned to Beijing, Li Huanying received a phone call. Over the phone, Li Huanying weekdays sustained very excited, "Zheng secretary, knife building new things settled, he can be happy now. I am very happy, thank you!"
Zheng Ruifen had also said, "is your credit ah, Professor li! We should thank you!"
Today, 95 year old Li Huanying is still a "office worker"". Every morning she carrying a bag from home to the studio, laboratory. At the nineteenth session of the international leprosy conference, Li Huanying won the first "China leprosy lifetime achievement award".
Born in 1921 in Beijing, the Communist Party of China, the Tongji University School of medicine, Shanghai, Johns Hopkins University, outstanding graduates, 37 years old to return to the motherland. Today, she is still alone, but with love.
After the Spring Festival, Li Huanying is leaving for Yunnan. She wanted to see if there was a recurrence of leprosy patients cured there? Their relatives have no potential infection? "We are the pathogenesis of leprosy is not clear, there are a lot of things to do in the future. I still have time, I can fight."
Li Huanying felt chest emblem, shallow smile: "if I can live to 100 years old, and 5% life can go with the party, continue to strive for a medical career. Wait until the day of the funeral, I hope the body can cover Chinese Communist party!" (reporter Wang Dan)
