In August 2020, China awarded Chen Wei and four other medical staff with outstanding performance in the fight against the new crown epidemic the honorary title of "People's Hero", which marked the second commendation activity after the promulgation of the National Honorary Title Law. Under the spotlight of **, the only female winner, Chen Wei, has attracted much attention, and behind her heroic posture and many identities is her great contribution to the critical moment of the epidemic.
Chen Wei is an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, a female major general and a biochemical defense expert, she led the R&D team to successfully develop a special vaccine in only 50 days in the early days of the epidemic, making important contributions to the country's anti-epidemic work. The "People's Hero" attributes his achievements in his career to the support of his family, and admits that he has not done housework himself for 31 years. However, in the family, what is Chen Wei's experience?
Chen Wei was born in Lanxi County, Zhejiang Province in 1966, and her parents were educated, which subtly cultivated her interest in learning Xi during her upbringing. After graduating from high school, she was admitted to the Department of Chemical Engineering of Zhejiang University with excellent grades.
In 1988, she was sent to Tsinghua University to pursue a master's degree, and thanks to the guidance of Professor Cong Jinyang, Chen Wei made remarkable progress in her academic field and successfully obtained a master's degree in 1991. After that, she chose to join the military and became an academic leader in the field of epidemics and genetic engineering in China.
In 1998, Chen Wei studied for a doctorate and became a professional in this field. After many years of epidemiological research, she has participated in the fight against SARS, Ebola and other epidemics many times, showing her spirit of responsibility. In 2020, when the new crown epidemic broke out, Chen Wei led the team to successfully develop a new crown vaccine and became the first person in the country to be vaccinated.
In the family, Chen Wei's life is not very different from ordinary people. In 1989, she met Ma Yiming, a technical cadre of Qingdao Distillery, on the train. Although there is an age gap of 12 years between the two, Chen Wei is a flower-level student at Tsinghua University, while Ma Yiming's education and work are relatively ordinary, but the firm relationship between the two has overcome the opposition of the outside world. In order to win Chen Wei's heart, Ma Yiming gave up his job in Qingdao and came to Beijing to marry Chen Wei.
After marriage, Ma Yiming gave up his career and contracted all the housework alone, and he became a "virtuous helper" husband. The two's son, Ma Eun-ho, also grew up in this sweet family of three. After accepting honors such as "People's Hero", Chen Wei still insisted on scientific research, and Ma Yiming and Ma Enhao have always been her strongest backing.
In 2020, when the epidemic was raging, Chen Wei led the team to successfully develop a new crown vaccine, and she was the first to receive the vaccine she participated in developing, which was deeply imprinted in the hearts of people across the country. Under the dual responsibilities of the workplace and family, Chen Wei has demonstrated her excellent leadership and family values. As a "People's Hero", her story inspires more people to bravely meet challenges and make positive contributions to the country and society in any field.
