Back To The Age Of The '80s

When the People of the Century column team stood in front of her, Zheng Lingling still couldn't believe it.

"Jenny Garcia..." she muttered to herself.

A lady in business attire who was talking with the staff smiled and turned her head, "Miss Zheng Lingling, are you calling me?"

Jenny Garcia, the host of British BBC's People of the Century column group, this woman is not yet 30 years old, but she is already a figure on the Forbes celebrity list. The media called him a person who "doesn't want to be a princess but be his own queen".

Many people attribute Jenny Garcia's success to her beauty, but Zheng Lingling can see that her appearance is definitely not the main reason for her success. This woman was flattered to call out her and Zhang Yuejun without waiting for her to introduce herself At the same time, he couldn't help but secretly startled.Beauty is important, but the enthusiasm and seriousness of her work is the real reason for her success.

Zheng Lingling suddenly felt that Miss Garcia should be able to get along with Li Zheng.

"Yes, Ms. Garcia, please come with me with your team." Zheng Lingling reacted quickly, put on the unique smile of Xiangjiang socialites, and led the column team of Century Figures to the No. 2 laboratory.

When the column team of Century People called to say that they were willing to come to Xiangjiang for this exclusive interview, Zheng Lingling widened her eyes in surprise. On the evening of that day, she couldn't help re-examining the weight of the word "Li Zheng" in other people's hearts.

"Thank you." Jenny thanked politely.

Xiangjiang people, including Zheng Lingling, still have an impression of the figures of the century in the overwhelming reports and terrifying influence of the Hong Kong Governor's exclusive interview ten years ago.But in fact, with the gradual weakening of the myth that the sun never sets and the growing influence of American Eagle in the world, the distance between People of the Century and its rival Time Weekly is getting bigger and bigger.

If it was said that the person of the century used to be the interviewer who used his popularity to expand his influence, but now it is the other way around. The person of the century needs to use the influence of the interviewer to try to narrow the distance between himself and his old opponent.

Compared with the leaders of various countries and wealthy businessmen, Li Zheng may be far behind.But these people have been targeted by Time Magazine long ago, and no matter how well the characters of the century do, they will only be said to be nothing but follow suit.

People of the Century and Time Magazine, one is a TV program and the other is a weekly current affairs magazine. They seem to be different, but their positioning and routes are highly repetitive. Unfortunately, the current influence of People of the Century is far from supporting its previous positioning.Repositioning and making its own characteristics can't lower the program's compulsion, which has become the top priority of the Century People column group.

Li Zheng is young, compassionate, and has a legendary experience almost like a BUG.As soon as Garcia saw Li Zheng's profile, he immediately jumped up, it was him!This is the interviewee she was looking for!

Li Zheng is the one who can highlight the characteristics of the characters of the century and make them walk on a unique new path!

According to Garcia, Li Zheng's unique identity as a scholar can arouse the audience's favor more than the hypocrisy of politicians from various countries and the smell of money on rich businessmen, and his outstanding image and unique experience like a savior , which can definitely attract the attention of the absolute majority of people.

Although Garcia is reluctant, she has to admit that the promotion of American heroes is very suitable for the modern market.

"Hello, Mr. Li Zheng, I'm Jenny Garcia. You can call me Jenny." When she saw Li Zheng, Jenny warmly gave her a big hug and also gave her a kiss from an English lady.

Li Zheng was at a loss. In his two lifetimes, he had never met such a passionate woman, especially when he met Ms. Garcia 30 years later, a very charming old lady.

He stiffened, and a blush could not help but appear on his cheeks.

Garcia smiled more sincerely. She had read Li Zheng's information ten times.Before meeting her, she had a different sense of awe for this genius who has repeatedly created miracles, but Li Zheng's performance made her uneasy.Maybe he is really a genius, but this does not change the fact that he is still a 17-year-old boy.

Li Zheng coughed dryly, dispelling the discomfort caused by the differences in etiquette between the East and the West.If he knew what was going on in Garcia's mind, he would definitely be embarrassed on the spot. He is already in his fifties in the two previous lives, how could he behave like an ordinary boy!

"Miss Garcia, thank you very much for accommodating my time and causing you trouble, I am very sorry." He said and pointed to the sofa in the rest area, signaling everyone to sit down.

Originally, the Century People team planned to arrive in Xiangjiang on Wednesday afternoon, but Li Zheng asked to change the time to Tuesday night in order to finish recording the program before the press conference at Queen Mary Hospital.This was already a very impolite request, but Garcia agreed without thinking about it.

Garcia gestured to the team behind him, and the British man who was carrying the equipment stood up quickly, lighting up what should be lit, and turning on the camera when it should be turned on. In less than 10 minutes, the rest area of ​​No. 2 laboratory became A temporary interview tent was set up.

"Is this the beginning?" Li Zheng asked in surprise.

"Of course, or Mr. Li Zheng needs to put on makeup and change clothes?" Jenny Garcia smiled narrowly.

Li Zheng was dumbfounded.

"Hello, audience friends, I'm Jenny Garcia. I said at the end of the last show that the guest of the next show will be a big surprise. Now is the time to reveal the answer."

Following Garcia's words, the camera lens slowly turned to Li Zheng.

Li Zheng sat relaxed on the sofa, and raised his hand to greet the camera, "Hi everyone, I'm Li Zheng."

"Mr. Li Zheng, how old are you?" Garcia smiled and asked the first question.

"Seventeen, this is the calculation of the Chinese people. Of course, according to the British calculation, maybe it is sixteen?" Li Zheng tapped his chin with his fingers, making a contemplative look.

Garcia's eyes lit up. She thought that a scholar like Li Zheng who stayed in the laboratory all year round would not be used to the camera, so the first question was so simple. She wanted to use this to let Li Zheng relax and guide him into the state.

But now it seems that she is superfluous.

"Oh~ Of course, your age information has been written, but I still want to hear the answer from you. You know, when I was 16, I was probably at a party wondering whether to confess to the boy I had a crush on."

"Then that young man must be very happy." Li Zheng continued.

"I think so too." Garcia shrugged. "Audience friends should not be that interested in my girlish feelings. Okay, now let's get down to business and talk about paaminesatin and carbapenem antibiotics."

Garcia picked up two journals from the table, "Microbology" and "England Journal of Medicine", "I believe that friends in the medical field know the weight of these two journals, and Mr. Li Zheng is their youngest publisher." She As he spoke, he handed over the English Journal of Medicine.

"It's a sample issue, and I think the EMJ should pay for my manual postage."

"Mr. Li Zheng, the British Ministry of Health and the United Nations Health Organization have reached a cooperation on the frozen blood disease project, and your drug is listed as a designated drug for this project. What are your thoughts on this?"

Li Zheng was even more surprised. He had devoted himself to the research and development of carbapenem antibiotics these days. Although he could not keep his ears to the outside world, he had never heard of it.

"I am very honored. As I said at the Asian Biopharmaceutical Conference, compared with some common diseases, although the prevalence of special diseases is smaller, that is the case. These patients need more care from the outside world. I am very grateful I'm glad I can help, and the Li Zheng Special Disease Research Foundation will continue to work on it." Li Zheng replied with a standard smile, making it impossible to tell that he was hearing the news for the first time.

The two discussed for a while about the drug Paminoxatin, and the topic led to the current hottest antibiotic incident.

"Your antibiotics have saved many people. This incident of drug-resistant strain infection in Queen Mary Hospital is not only a hot topic in Xiangjiang, but also in the UK. It has triggered our thinking on the phenomenon of antibiotic abuse. You must know that antibiotics are used for a year in the UK." A drop of [-] tons is an astonishing figure."

"Biopharmaceuticals, biology is the premise and foundation of pharmaceuticals. In fact, we study biopharmaceuticals and always insist that human resistance is the best medicine. It's just that resistance is like a limb. If you ignore it and don't use it, it will gradually Degeneration. The abuse of antibiotics has greatly weakened the role of the body's own resistance, which is not advisable. I suggest that whether it is Hong Kong, the United Kingdom or other regions, attention should be paid to moderately control the use of antibiotics." Speaking of profession Come on, Li Zheng is calm and confident, making people forget his own age.

Garcia was stunned for a moment, and then immediately came back to his senses.

"Yes, under the influence of this incident, one of our congressmen has made relevant proposals to supervise the use of antibiotics."

"Actually, I have something else to say about this antibiotic incident." Li Zheng straightened his body, and under Jenny Garcia's astonished gaze, he said, "Actually, all the carbapenems that were sent to Mary's Hospital this time Antibiotics have failed the drug test, or their drug test performance is not good, after a group of mice injected with the drug, the survival rate is less than 30.00%.

All the cameras were aimed at Li Zheng, and Garcia flipped through the script vigorously. She was sure that there was no such problem in the script this time.

In fact, the drugs and antibiotics used in the Queen Mary Hospital incident were not on the market or even passed the drug test. This is something that many people know, but everyone, including the family members of the patients who died of infection, tacitly kept silent about it. don't talk about it.Because they know that if this matter is brought to the fore, not only Mary Hospital, but Li Zheng, the drug developer, will also be pushed to the forefront.

No one wants to see this result, even the family members of those troubled patients.

"I don't think this matter should be a secret. It is not difficult to find out in the exemption agreement or through other means. I have been paying attention to the Queen Mary Hospital incident. Dean Chen Xuhua is a person I respect very much. Seeing today news, I thought I had to say something."

Li Zheng considered his words for a while, and then slowly leaned on the sofa.

"The danger of Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection should have been popularized in newspapers these days, so I won't say more. In fact, the biggest reason I wanted to develop the drug day and night at that time was because of this Among the first batch of patients infected with drug-resistant strains was my respected teacher. I remember very clearly that it was raining heavily that night. A nurse in a white nurse uniform, holding a test sample and a whole box of patient medication records. She didn't wear an umbrella, her petite body was half bent, and her upper body completely covered the mouth of the box. Wet, but the materials in the box did not get a trace of water."

Li Zheng propped up his hands on his knees and crossed his fingers.

"I was surprised but more shocked. In the following day and night, we used almost all antibiotics. Unfortunately, the samples were resistant to almost all existing antibiotics. In fact, we were able to draw The infection was concluded to be Pseudomonas aeruginosa, but none of us said it. Then the bad news came one after another. The teacher had a high fever, was dehydrated, and lost consciousness. I can understand the mood of any family member.”

"After that day, all the professors of the Faculty of Medicine of Hong Kong University stayed with me in the laboratory, and my teacher told me that even if it was an injurious treatment, the teacher could only weigh it for five or six days at most, and the injurious treatment would cause great harm to the patient. Pain and sequelae, in medicine, are not recommended for patients who have almost no hope of survival. With such a mood, we conduct experiments again and again.”

"The experiment was successful, but it also failed. We successfully extracted carbapenicillin antibiotics, which have a stable drug structure, but like many antibiotics, it has strong drug toxicity, and the survival rate of mice in biological experiments is extremely low. According to drug experiment standards, It can almost be judged that it is not suitable for human clinical use."

"But I know it works! It's just out of my personal professional judgment, without the slightest institutional support, but my teacher signed the drug clinical trial waiver agreement. Although for a drug that didn't even pass the biological test For me, this agreement is almost invalid, but the teacher still signed it, not only because it is his only hope, but also because he is a biologist, and there are more than 100 people who are also infected with patina behind him. Fake patient."

"If he succeeds, he can persuade the hospital to take great risks to give drugs to other patients; if he fails, I am the one who provides the drugs, and he and his family will not hold me accountable. He is in Protect me, and at the same time give hope to other patients." When Li Zheng said this, his voice was a little low.

There was silence in the lounge, no one said a word, and even their breathing became very low.
