　　Many units of the general station were posted in remote areas, it was very inconvenient for them to seek timely medical help. By using the video-phone conference system network and LAN, Sun Shipeng made all kinds of disease prevention knowledge into multi-media courseware and used the network to provide real-time disease prevention guidance to troops. In the first half of October, the reporter happened to see Sun was giving a lecture on "common diseases prevention" on the network. Sun sat before a screen in the central classroom of the general station, with the clicking of the mouse, such webpage as acute upper respiratory tract infection appeared on the large screen. Related information such as the symptoms of the disease, major prevention methods were immediately sent to the grassroots units hundreds of kilometers away. Since Sun became the head of the medical unit, he has made efforts to establish and perfect the public health centers and public health classrooms and established an infectious disease prevention mechanism for grassroots units.
