The history of plague

Plague is by no means a dispensable stroke in history.

Looking back, almost every major plague is accompanied by countless ups and downs of honor and disgrace, which indicates that a new pattern is about to emerge. Looking at the yellowed words in the old paper pile may help us clear our minds and make modesty, caution and perseverance become faithful partners in fighting the epidemic.
