1910年10月至1911年3月,6万条生命被一场数百年不遇的大鼠疫吞噬了。面对这场突如其来的大疫,大厦将倾的清政府,既无主张,也无能力应对。清廷的无能,却给了中国最早一批接触现代科学的知识分子一片天空。他们用自己的果敢和才干,挽救了亿万同胞的生命,也使世界为之一震。 Between October 1910 and March 1911, 60,000 lives were swallowed up by a rat plague that lasted for hundreds of years. In the face of this sudden epidemic, the Qing Government, to be tilted by the building, has neither a claim nor a capable response. The incompetence of the Qing court gave the first batch of intellectuals in China a touch of modern science. They have used their courage and talent to save the lives of hundreds of millions of their compatriots and shock the world.
