Dr. Jiang Yanyong is one of the most badass historical figures in China. 1- Chief surgeon of the best hospital in Beijing, on shift during Tiananmen Square Massacre, saved the lives of soldiers and innocent civilians 2- Prevented SARS epidemic from spreading by whistleblowing about the hidden epidemic, leading to the resignation of Beijing's Mayor and China's Minister of Public Health 3- Used his senior position and the clout he gained from whistleblowing to ask China's leadership to readdress the Tiananmen Square Massacre and to apologize. His last letter personally sent to Xi Jinping on this topic landed him in house arrest for the rest of his life A hero and a patriot who deserved much better.
