Chen Wei, a well-known female warrior.
In 2003, she successfully blocked the SARS virus;
In 2014, she developed the world's first Ebola vaccine to enter clinical trials;
In 2020, when the new crown epidemic enveloped the world, Chen Wei once again stepped forward and led the team to fight day and night, and finally developed Chinese's own new crown vaccine in the shortest possible time.
She is not only an outstanding scientist and doctoral supervisor, but even has the rank of major general.
However, it was such an outstanding woman, and her husband was an ordinary winery technician who was 12 years older than her.
Some people may find it strange: can't a person like Chen Wei find a partner who is more "right at home"?
So, how did two people with such a disparity in identity and status come together?
Chen Wei, a girl born on February 26, 1966 in Lanxi, Zhejiang, has been a "child of other people's families" who has been the envy of other parents since she was a child.
When she was in school, Chen Wei's grades were always top, and when she graduated from junior high school, she was faced with a choice: should she go to a normal secondary school or continue to study in high school?
At that time, many people felt that it was more secure to study at a normal secondary school, and they could become teachers after graduation.
But Chen Wei's teacher saw that she had more potential and suggested that she continue her high school.
After graduation, Chen Wei was admitted to the Department of Chemical Engineering of Zhejiang University with a super high score. When she was at Zhejiang University, her performance was still so good that she was later recommended to Tsinghua University for a master's degree.
After completing her master's degree, Chen Wei went to United States to study. In the United States, she had the opportunity to get a high-paying job and live a comfortable life.
However, she chose to return to China for development.
After returning to China, Chen Wei made another decision that surprised many people. Instead of going to work for a large company, she chose to join the army and joined the Academy of Military Medical Sciences.
There, she changed the direction of her research and embarked on a thrilling path of scientific research that danced with death.
Her subjects of research are SARS, plague, smallpox, and Ebola......
And it was on the train back to China that Chen Wei met her lover.
Ma Yiming, an ordinary winery technician who is 12 years older than Chen Wei, met the young and promising Chen Wei. Maybe it was the guidance of fate, or maybe it was the throbbing in his heart, he mustered up the courage and asked Chen Wei for a phone number.
When asking for a phone number, Ma Yiming must have been nervous. After all, he is just an ordinary person, and Chen Wei looks like an ordinary girl.
He may have encouraged himself in his heart: "Don't be nervous, at most you will be rejected." "
To his surprise, Chen Wei gave him his phone number cheerfully.
At that moment, Ma Yiming's heart must have cheered, as if he had won the whole world.
It was this little phone number that became the beginning of their love story. Ma Yiming must have looked at the string of numbers repeatedly, both excited and apprehensive.
He may have thought about it for a long time before he mustered up the courage to dial that number, and this phone call started their romantic story.
However, the reality is always cruel.
When they decided to be together, they were met with a backlash from their families. "The door is not right, the door is not right", this is everyone's first reaction.
Chen Wei's family couldn't accept that their excellent daughter would marry an ordinary winery technician, while Ma Yiming's family was worried that the relationship would cause trouble for Chen Wei.
But the power of love is powerful. In the face of many obstacles, Chen Wei and Ma Yiming chose to persevere. They have proved through their actions that sincere feelings can transcend the gap of age, education and background.
Finally, after countless quarrels, tears and compromises, they walked into the palace of marriage hand in hand and welcomed their lovely children.
The challenge doesn't end there.
As Chen Wei's career flourished, Ma Yiming realized that he had to make changes to support his wife.
He resolutely resigned from his stable job and chose Beipiao, just to be with Chen Wei and give her the greatest support.
This decision turned Ma Yiming's life upside down.
He went from being a technician with a stable job to being a full-time househusband.
Every day, he takes on most of the housework, takes care of the children, and takes care of the family's affairs.
And all this is so that Chen Wei can devote herself to her scientific research career.
Of course, whether it is Chen Wei's own knowledge or her husband's solid backing, her career has gradually risen.
In 2003, when the SARS epidemic broke out, Chen Wei, who was 37 years old at the time, stepped forward.
She risked being infected and conducted experiments on the SARS virus herself.
At that time, what courage it took to do so in the face of a new, deadly virus!
What's more, Chen Wei led her team to develop a drug called "Recombinant Human Interferon Ω Spray".
This drug played a super important role in the fight against SARS and helped many people defeat the virus.
In 2014, the Ebola virus ravaged Africa, claiming countless lives.
Scientists around the world are racing against time to develop a vaccine. At this critical moment, Chen Wei and her team once again created a miracle!
They have developed the world's first Ebola vaccine to enter the clinic, bringing hope to mankind to defeat this terrible disease!
In 2020, the new crown epidemic was like a rolling black cloud, enveloping the world, and Chen Wei once again stepped forward and led the team to fight day and night.
They overcame many difficulties, broke through one technical bottleneck after another, and finally developed Chinese's own new crown vaccine in the shortest possible time.
At this moment, the people of the whole country rejoiced and felt extremely proud of our great motherland and outstanding scientists!
Chen Wei's contribution is much more than that.
In the fight against SARS, the Wenchuan earthquake and epidemic prevention, the security of the Beijing Olympic Games and other major events, she has charged forward, building a solid line of defense for the safety of the country and the people.
As Chen Wei's popularity grew, her life gradually became known.
Some people may find it strange: why don't people like Chen Wei find a partner who is more "right for the door", such as a general or a doctor?
But Chen Wei said: "He is part of my body. "
Some people may also think, is Ma Yiming too aggrieved? He has been in charge of household chores for 30 years.
But he never thought so.
On the contrary, he often said: "Let Chen Wei do the housework, that is the real waste of her talent." This sentence shows his support for his wife's career and also reflects his broad-mindedness.
In life, someone always asks Ma Yiming: Don't you think you are not worthy of Chen Wei?
Faced with such a problem, Ma Yiming always smiled indifferently: "Love is not a competition, and you don't need to tell who is worthy of whom." We love each other and support each other, and that's enough. "
Under the words and deeds of his parents, their son Ma Eun-ho was also deeply affected.
Looking at his mother's struggle for the country and the people, Ma Enhao also secretly made up his mind to follow in his mother's footsteps and contribute his strength to the scientific research of the motherland.
When Ma Enhao told his parents that he was going to choose a major similar to his mother's, Chen Wei and Ma Yiming's eyes flashed with pride.
Love is never a contest of strength.
It is the mutual support of two people, and it is mutual understanding and tolerance. Chen Wei overcame obstacles in the laboratory and overcame one difficulty after another; And Ma Yiming paid silently at home to build a warm harbor for his wife.
In this materialistic world, the story of Chen Wei and Ma Yiming is undoubtedly a clear stream, allowing us to re-understand the true meaning of love. Perhaps, this is their most precious revelation to us: love is the power of mutual fulfillment.
Chen Wei's dedication and achievements have been widely recognized by the society. She has won many honors such as "Top Ten Outstanding Young Persons of the Year".
Every time she wins an award, she is full of emotion. She knows that these honors are not only an affirmation of her personally, but also an encouragement to the entire research team.
She often said: "These honors do not belong to me alone, but to all those who have quietly contributed to the cause of scientific research." "
