The English version of the Diary of Doctor Cha’s Aid to Hubei was first published in the world, ＂transmitting China’s anti-epidemic experience and spirit to the world＂.

"I’m Cha Qiongfang, one of the first aid Hubei players in Shanghai. During more than two months of aid to Hubei, I saw that every medical staff was selfless and fearless, never giving up, racing against time with medical kindness and fighting against the virus, and no matter how tired or bitter they were, they didn’t complain or retreat. I saw the patients tortured by the virus, with the care and encouragement of medical care and patients, fighting death with strong perseverance until they took a step and walked towards the sun with a smile. I saw volunteers selfless dedication, do their best, risk being infected, and send thoughtful services to people in need. I have seen continuous support and care from the party, the government and all walks of life. "

On the last day of the 2020 Shanghai Book Fair, the English version of Diary of Doctor Cha’s Aid to Hubei was launched in Shanghai Jiaotong University. Talking about the origin of this book, Dr. Cha Qiongfang said, "What I saw, heard and thought always moved and inspired me. With my immature but true brushstrokes, I recorded what I saw in my eyes and felt in my heart, so that I can always remember this history and reassure everyone who cares about the frontline anti-epidemic … What I want to do is to pass it on and let everyone discover the truth, goodness and beauty behind the story. "

The Diary of Doctor Cha’s Aid to Hubei is edited by Renji Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine, written by Dr. Cha Qiongfang, the first batch of medical aid team members in Shanghai and the respiratory department of Renji Hospital, and published by Shanghai Jiaotong University Press. It is the first officially published anti-epidemic diary experienced by doctors who aid Hubei in China. From New Year’s Eve to March 31st, there were 67 doctor’s diaries, spanning 68 days of aid to Hubei, which is the most complete anti-epidemic diary published at present. The Diary of Doctor Cha’s Aid to Hubei reveals the code of China’s rapid control of the epidemic, and reproduces the bounden duty, kindness and courage of China people in the face of disasters and dangers under the correct leadership of the Communist Party of China (CPC), and builds a powerful Chinese power with this selfless and fearless spirit. The book has been loved by readers since it was officially published on April 20, and has been reprinted again and again in just four months.

Li Fang, president of Shanghai Jiaotong University Press, said that after the Chinese version of the book was first published, many internationally renowned publishing houses came to discuss cooperation. At present, copyright has been exported in nine languages, including the English version. After many evaluations, naturalogic Publishing House, a leading Canadian academic publisher in the fields of science, technology and medicine, was finally selected for the English version, with very rich academic resources and professional team.

The release of the English version will make China’s anti-epidemic story widely spread around the world, and make due contributions to the ultimate control of pneumonia in Covid-19.

"The publishing industry has truly recorded the pioneers who fought against the epidemic and made selfless contributions, and strived to write a series of anti-epidemic poems with one heart and one mind, which condensed the majestic anti-epidemic forces and bred a great anti-epidemic spirit." Wang Weiheng, a second-class researcher in the Library Department of Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China Publishing Bureau, said that the Diary of Doctor Cha’s Aid to Hubei, which was selected as the topic list of key publications to be published in Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China in 2020, is such a good book that demonstrates the power of example and shows the great spirit of fighting the epidemic. I hope that the publication in more languages can provide overseas readers with a window to understand the real experience of Dr. China in fighting the COVID-19 epidemic and provide valuable China experience for the global fight against the epidemic.

"To build a world-class university, we must not only achieve a leap in teaching and scientific research, but also strive to be first-class in spreading scientific knowledge and competing for the right to speak internationally."

"It has been more than four months since I returned to Shanghai, and my work has already been on the right track. Outpatient service, ward, consultation, teaching … "Cha Qiongfang said," What is needed now is to continue to do a good job in epidemic prevention and control during the process of returning to work and production. The experience of fighting the epidemic in Wuhan has greatly inspired my future life. I will bring generate’s fighting spirit and dedication to my future work to better serve patients. "

"Pass on China’s anti-epidemic experience and anti-epidemic spirit to the world, and let the world see the’ road map’ of China’s war and epidemic, and the strength of the people of China to unite as one, overcome difficulties together, and build a tower."
