In this regard, the reporter verified with Academician Zhong Nanshan’s team that this is a video of Academician Zhong’s previous rounds, which has nothing to do with this epidemic. The patient in the video is not Professor Lin Zhengbin.
Further search found that the video originated from the original CCTV People’s Column "Everyone: Respiratory Specialist Zhong Nanshan" in October 2016. The content of the excerpt is that in May 2016, Academician Zhong and his colleagues observed and asked a patient with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in the ward.

Most of these rumors are hot spots, emotional and rhythmic. On February 11th, Professor Colin Zhengbin, an organ transplant from tongji hospital affiliated to Huazhong University of Science and Technology, died unfortunately due to ineffective rescue in COVID-19. Many people shed tears when the bad news came. The online video links emotional elements such as "Zhong Nanshan" and "Help me" with "Professor Lin’s death", which spread during the epidemic period, that is, by creating low emotions to bring rhythm.
As long as we can distinguish rationally, such rumors are easy to see through. In fact, since the video spread, many eye-catching netizens have discovered the bugs and quickly got the truth.
Here, the China Internet Joint Rumor-dispelling Platform reminds netizens that authoritative information should be obtained from official channels, and news transmitted online should not be credulous. At the same time, we also hope that more netizens will provide clues, actively verify, join in the network rumor work, and jointly build our clear network.
