今年我去了中国中部的湖北。我和十几岁的学生分享了重要的结核病相关知识以及保持健康生活方式的方法，同时告诉孩子们保持良好个人卫生的重要性。在当地的村子里，我遇到了一位完全康复的病人。我鼓励他自己成为一名防治结核病的宣传员，这样他就可以和更多的人分享抗击结核病的经验。
On this trip, I also attended a ceremony to recognize outstanding TB campaigners. Most of them work at the grassroots and have great stories to share.
在这次旅行中，我还参加了一个表彰优秀结核病防治人员的仪式。他们中的大多数在基层工作，有很多精彩的故事可以分享。
Let me tell you about Shili. She is a community health worker from Sichuan. One of her many tasks is to look after local TB patients. When the massive earthquake struck Sichuan in 2008, her hometown was among the hardest-hit. Despite the damage, she managed to re-establish direct contact with every one of the 540 patients under her watch. She walked mile after mile amidst deadly aftershocks to reach her patients and she spent some 20 days delivering drugs to those cut off from medication. As a doctor, she knew too well the importance of completing the drug regimen for TB patients. Her efforts paid off. All the 540 patients had fully recovered, with no single patient developing into MDR. What an impressive achievement!
让我在这里同大家分享他们其中一人的故事。她是一名来自四川的社区医务工作者。她众多的任务之一是照顾当地结核病患者。2008年四川发生地震时，她的家乡是受灾最严重的地区之一。尽管地震造成了巨大的破坏，她还是设法与她负责观察的540名患者重新建立了直接联系。她冒着致命余震的威胁，走了无数里路，赶到这些病人的身边。她花了大约20天的时间给那些断药的患者及时送上药品。作为一名医生，她非常清楚完成结核病患者药物治疗的重要性。她的努力得到了回报。所有540名患者都已经完全康复，没有一名患者发展成多重耐药性结核。这是多么令人印象深刻的成就。
