Qian Suyun, member of the Leading Party Members' Group of Beijing Children's Hospital (National Center for Children's Health) Affiliated with Capital Medical University, and honorary director of the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) and the Internal Medicine Department in the hospital

Qian Suyun has worked on the front line of saving the lives of children in critical conditions and conducted relevant research for over four decades. During the past few decades, Qian and her team have saved the lives of over 20,000 teenage patients in critical conditions with high medical expertise and professional ethics, earning a nickname of the “guardian angel” for children. She has taken the lead in the building of a children-oriented branch of National Brain Injury Evaluation Quality Control Center under National Health Commission (NHC), conducted research of transcranial doppler (TCD) screening for young patients in critical conditions, and came up with China's TCD standards for children diagnosed with brain death. The standards have been written into the country's diagnosis standards and operational procedures in the judgment of children’s brain death and the technology has been applied in over 70 medical institutions nationwide.

As a pediatric expert, Qian is always one of the first medical personnel who arrives at the sites where contagious diseases — such as hand-foot-mouth disease, influenza A and bird flu — break out and where deadly earthquakes occur. Additionally, she has taken part in the revision of diagnosis and treatment plans for COVID-19 patients and the online diagnosis of teenage patients with the communicable disease in Wuhan, Central China's Hubei province. She has become a beacon of light for patients in critical conditions and brought hope to them and their families.
