Two Wuxi doctors named as National Moral Models

Two doctors from Wuxi have been awarded as "moral models" by the central government.

In the Spirit of the 19th CPC Congress the central government selected 101 people from across the country as models of morality in Chengdu, Sichuan province on Oct 31.

The selection was based on the actions and generosity of individuals who don't hesitate to help others or bravely take up just causes.
