发生在20世纪初的东北大鼠疫持续了6个多月,席卷了半个中国,吞噬了60468人的生命。而成功扑灭这场震惊世界的烈性传染病的一线总指挥,是鲜为人知的英国剑桥大学医学博士伍连德。1910年12月,年轻的伍连德临危受命,赶赴东北重灾区,出任防疫总指挥。经过他艰苦卓绝的工作,终于遏制了肆虐半年之久的大鼠疫…… The plague in Northeast China, which took place in the early 20th century, lasted more than 6 months, sweeping through half of China and engulfing 60,468 people’s lives. The first line conductor to successfully put an end to this stinging epidemic that shocked the world was the little-known Professor of Medical Research at the University of Cambridge, United Kingdom. In December 1910, the young Wu Liande was in jeopardy and rushed to the hardest hit northeast China to serve as the general director of epidemic prevention. After his arduous work, he finally stopped the plague that plagues for half a year.
