Recently, the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League and the All-China Youth Federation awarded the National May 4 Youth Medals, the top honor for youths in the country, to 60 outstanding individuals and 34 elite groups from various fields across the country. May 4 is China's Youth Day, which is celebrated annually to pay tribute to the May Fourth Movement in 1919. The movement has inspired the ambition and confidence of the Chinese people and nation to realize national rejuvenation. The year of 2020 marks its 101 year anniversary. FANG Yi (’03, Computer Science) and the youth team in the battle against COVID-19 from the First Affiliated Hospital, School of Medicine won their medal as an outstanding individual and an elite group this year.

FANG Yi, founder and CEO of Getui, China’s leading feed service provider, made a lot of contributions to digital services. Getui developed an APP to provide information about earthquakes in collaboration with China Earthquake Networks Center. This APP is able to feed the latest information about an earthquake to relevant regions in milliseconds. During the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic, Getui applied digital technology to monitoring data, tracing the origin of the virus and resource allocation, thus providing solid support for the containment of the COVID-19 virus.

The youth team from the First Affiliated Hospital is comprised of 798 medical staffs. During the outbreak of COVID-19, the Zhejiang-based team played a leading role on the frontline and made a series of highly-coveted achievements, including the zero infection of medical staff, the zero omitted diagnosis of patients, and the zero fatality of severe patients. Meanwhile, it dispatched 7 medical specialists to assist Italy. The Wuhan-based team took over the tough work in ICUs and reduced the fatality rate of severe patients substantially. The research team made several breakthroughs and participated in the drafting of Diagnosis and Treatment of COVID-19.
