a student of chen Yuzhu told Lilac Garden that Chen was a very careful person: "childhood, primary school, university ... Information at all stages he saveds, meal cards, food stamps, and handwritten letters from academician Ge D.C. while he was a student in Germany... He kept it all.
" Ge Junbo sent a letter to academician Chen Yuzhu, "Chen academician's English is very good, 90-year-old people, or insist on regularly come to the hospital to do English check room, to teach students."
and Ge have separate offices in the hospital, and after Chen has checked the room, he usually returns to his office to rest.
because the hospital in winter on air-conditioning heating time restrictions, less than the time determined not to heat, sometimes you will see Chen academician a person wrapped in thick down jacket sitting in the office.
once I went to see him and he told me that he thought his office was out of specification and that academicians shouldn't have such a big office.
the office is estimated to be less than 40 square meters, but he still feels too big to waste national resources.
his eyes are very strange, one is myopia, one is an old eye, looking away and looking close are actually working with the same eye.

he has been editor-in-chief of Internal Science, Practical Internal Science, and Practical Cardiology for decades.
more than 3,000 pages of Practical Internal Science, Chen insisted that every word be read by himself, and he insisted on translating Brauwald Cardiology.
this year, writing a book is not a good errand, it is better to send articles with energy, it will take many years to finish writing, also can not win the prize, but many doctors are watching him write the book to grow up.
" is not a good look, it is a good doctor on November 6, 1924, Chen Yuzhu was born in Hong Kong.
because my father has been on the move all year round, "my mother has made a big difference to me, both as a man and as a student."
" he remembers reciting poetry as a child, and his illiterate mother listening.
even if he had the wrong back mother did not know, but her serious persistence deeply affected Chen Weizhu.
