钟南山，1936年10月出生于南京，中共党员，中国工程院院士，著名呼吸病学专家，中国抗击非典型肺炎的领军人物，曾任广州医学院院长、党委书记，广州市呼吸疾病研究所所长、广州呼吸疾病国家重点实验室主任、中华医学会会长。钟南山出生于医学世家，父亲钟世蕃是中国著名的儿科专家，母亲廖月琴则是广东省肿瘤医院的创始人之一。

钟南山长期从事呼吸内科的医疗、教学、科研工作。重点开展哮喘、慢阻肺疾病、呼吸衰竭和呼吸系统常见疾病的规范化诊疗、疑难病、少见病和呼吸危重症监护与救治等方面的研究，并首次证实了隐匿型哮喘的存在。他所领导的研究所对慢性不明原因咳嗽诊断成功率达85%，重症监护室抢救成功率达91%。他投身呼吸系统疾病的I临床、教学和科研工作50余年，是推进中国呼吸病学发展迈向国际前沿的学科带头人之一。在“非典”疫情中，率先带领团队投入救治行动，确立广东病原学，组织广东“非典”防治研究，获国际上最高存活率。

2003年，钟南山被广东省委省政府授予唯一特殊功绩，并获得了国内卫生系统的最高荣誉头衔——白求恩奖章。次年，他被中国政府誉为“感动中国2003年度十大人物”。他是抵抗可怕的呼吸道病枣（“非典”病毒）的中国英雄。17年后的今天，2020年新冠肺炎疫情爆发，84岁的钟南山再度“出山”，出任新冠肺炎疫情联防联控工作机制科研攻关专家组组长、国家卫生健康委高级别专家组组长。在赴武汉进行调研考察后，他接受电视采访，指出新冠病毒存在人传人的现象。疫情期间，钟南山向公众普及新冠病毒信息、疫情防控情况、药物研发进展，带领团队重点攻关重症、危重症和疑难病人诊治，被普遍赞誉为“全民偶像”“国士无双”。

《人民日报》在微博上评论道：“84岁的钟南山有院士的专业，有战士的勇猛，更有国士的担当。一路奔波不知疲倦，满腔责任为国为民，的的确确令人肃然起敬！”

冬天终将过去，春天必将到来。面具掩盖了人们的话语，流行病驱散了人们的聚集，但这些问题永远不会切断我们的爱心，也不会破坏我们征服的决心。尽管在2020年初爆发的疫情凶猛，但通过遏制疫情的斗争，它也更加紧密地联系了每个中国人的心。我们曾经一起共同击败过“非典”，我们一定会击败新冠肺炎！
