Everyone knows what a bank is. But do you know that there is an “eye bank” in China?

“Eye bank” is a database of iris information (虹膜信息数据库) of Chinese children. Zhaobao Technology started it to help police identify (鉴定) children.

Iris is a part of the eye. It is very special because people have different irises. We all know that no two people have the same fingerprints (指纹). Although people have different fingerprints, the Irises work better than fingerprints. Because they won’t change much as long as you are 18 months old. That sounds cool, right? So this is your special ID card. And that’s why iris information can be useful in identifying lost children and help people to find the lost children.

Now there is over 93,000 Chinese children’s iris information in the database. The Zhaobao Technology says writing iris information into the eye bank only takes a few seconds and will not bring any harm (伤害) to the children. But still, the company is now facing a few problems, because some parents worry that their children’s information can be in danger, and it will bring some harm to their family.

“Please don’t go to Wuhan if it isn’t really necessary,” Zhong Nanshan, a famous doctor, said to the public when the 2019-nCoV hit (袭击) Wuhan. But Zhong, 84, took an overnight train to Wuhan to fight against it.

Many Chinese know Zhong as a hero in SARS in 2003. People share his photos and words online, saying they “follow every word of Zhong”. He gives Chinese people hope to win this battle (战役).

A great doctor

Zhong comes from a family of doctors. He wants to save as many lives as possible. In 2003, when SARS hit China, he went to treat the sickest patients. After months, his treatment plan for SARS was adopted (采纳) by China and then the whole world. And it saved thousands of lives.

Back to the frontlines

Seventeen years later, Zhong is once again leading a team to fight the 2019-nCoV. Although this new virus may be more dangerous to old people, Zhong worries little about his own safety.

He takes a high-speed train from Guangzhou to Wuhan. Then he becomes the first expert to tell people that the virus can be spread (传播) between humans. Then his team developed a rapid test kit (快速检测试剂盒) for the disease that can show results within 15 minutes.

As People’s Daily writes, “the 84-year-old Zhong Nanshan shows what the backbone (脊梁) of our nation is like.”
