Features: In the spring of 2003, the smoke of war in the Middle East had not yet subsided, and the sudden outbreak of atypical pneumonia occurred. The white-clad medical workers faced death with a smile, their heroic spirits intense, their sweat moistening the people's hearts. The profound lessons prompted people to think more deeply: had such a fierce epidemic occurred in history? How did it unfold? What insights can be drawn from the anti-epidemic measures of ancient and modern times for the current SARS? What kind of insights? Is there an end to epidemic prevention work? If there is no end, what countermeasures should be taken? Around these questions, at the invitation of Comrade Zhang Xiuping of the People's Publishing House, the authors modestly compiled this book with the aim of letting history tell the future, reflecting on the past, and gaining wisdom through reflection.
