Features: The Xiaotangshan Hospital, which was built in just seven days, became the world's specialized hospital for treating SARS. Unveiling the mystery behind the world's designated hospitals for SARS. Military correspondents stationed at Xiaotangshan with on-site eyewitness reports. The remarkable speed represents China's construction capabilities, while the 1,200 medical elites mobilized from across the country in just a few days aim to demonstrate China's medical strength to the world. Due to the comprehensive takeover by the military, the internal management operations, treatment methods, patient recovery processes, as well as the protection, working environment, and daily lives of medical staff—all remain unknown to the outside world. The high cure rate, extremely low mortality rate, and "zero infections" among medical staff only fuel curiosity about the "miracle cure" hidden within the hospital. However, as a military hospital, it has strict discipline and cannot allow interviews, making this special hospital even more mysterious. Only they—the few outstanding military correspondents—could stay long-term at Xiaotangshan, living and working alongside the medical staff. Only they could interview the hospital leadership and medical staff from various wards at any time. And only they could wear isolation suits to enter the wards, gaining detailed insights into patients at different stages of treatment. With their pens and cameras, they recorded the real scenes at Xiaotangshan Hospital.
