科学无国界—全球疫情下，浙师留学生秦朋和用行动丈量中非情谊
Science isInternational—Under the global epidemic, Valdemar, an international student from Zhejiang Normal University, uses actions to measure the friendship between China and Africa
来自非洲安哥拉的Valdemar Rodrigues Augusto Tchipenhe秦朋和，是我校2019级生物技术专业毕业生。作为华大基因援建非洲“火眼”实验室技术团队的一员，秦朋和曾在非洲多国建设新冠肺炎病毒检测实验室，对当地实验人员进行培训。位于加蓬的“火眼”实验室成为了该国最大的实验室。这些实验室总共将每天测试多达20,000个COVID-19样本，从而大大提高了当地检测和诊断能力。
Valdemar Rodrigues Augusto Tchipenhe Valdemar from Angola, Africa, is a 2019 biotechnology graduate of our school. As a member of the technical team of BGI assisted in the construction of the "Fire Eye" laboratory in Africa, Valdemar has built a new crown pneumonia virus detection laboratory in many African countries and trained local laboratory personnel. The "Fire Eye" laboratory in Gabon became the largest laboratory in the country. The labs can test up to 20,000 COVID-19 samples per day, significantly increasing local detection and diagnostic capacity.
跨国求学·浙师启航
Studying abroad, Start from Zhejiang Normal University
秦朋和的父亲是一名医生，从小在诊所的耳濡目染让他深刻地理解医疗技术的重要性。他说第一次看到父亲哭，是由于设备所限，无法挽救一个年仅三岁、误喝汽油的男孩。正是这件事，使他清楚地意识到，除了善良，非洲人民迫切需要在技术方面得到更好的提升，才可以为改善医疗服务提供实质性的支持。这也在他心底里埋下了跨国求学梦想的种子。
2015年，作为安哥拉第一个获得生物科技方向中国政府奖学金的学生，从安哥拉到中国，15个小时的飞机，跨越12000公里，秦朋和带着梦想来到中国，来到浙师，在这里开启了求学之路。虽然在那之前，他从未离开过安哥拉。但是，在浙师的四年生活，让他把中国，把浙师，当成了自己的家。在这里，他努力学习生物技术，学校图书馆和实验室是他最热爱的地方；在这里，他积极参加学校活动，结交来自世界各地的好友。
大四期间，秦朋和成为了华大基因的实习生。在实验室培训期间，大多数学员只会讲中文，他刻苦练习说中文。严格的培训结束之后，他被正式聘为华大基因的员工，并获得海外实验室现场应用科学家的头衔。
在华学习工作，不知不觉改变了秦朋和许多。因为他经常用流利的汉语和中国同事交流，加蓬当地的技术人员还曾问他是不是土生土长的中国人。
Valdemar's father is a doctor, and his experience in the clinic since childhood gave him a deep understanding of the importance of medical technology. He said that the first time he saw his father cry, it was because of equipment limitations that he could not save a three-year-old boy who drank gasoline by mistake. It was this incident that made him clearly realize that in addition to being kind, African people urgently need to be better improved in technology before they can provide substantial support for improving medical services. This also planted the seeds of his dream of studying abroad in his heart.
In 2015, as the first student in Angola to receive the Chinese government scholarship in the direction of biotechnology, from Angola to China, it took a 15-hour flight and spanned 12,000 kilometers. Valdemar came to China with a dream, came to Zhejiang Normal University, and started here. the way to study. Although before that, he had never left Angola. However, the four years of living in Zhejiang Normal University made him take China and Zhejiang Normal University as his home. Here, he studied biotechnology hard, and the school library and laboratory were his favorite places; here, he actively participated in school activities and made friends from all over the world.
During his senior year, Valdemar became an intern of BGI. During the laboratory training, most of the trainees only speak Chinese, and he practiced speaking Chinese hard. After the rigorous training, he was officially hired as an employee of BGI and obtained the title of Field Application Scientist in an overseas laboratory.
Studying and working in China changed Qin Peng. Because he often communicated with his Chinese colleagues in Chinesefluently.A local technician in Gabon once asked him if he was born and raised in China.
并肩作战·青年担当
Fighting side by side, the young take responsibility
在非洲援建“火眼”实验室的每一天，秦朋和和同事们并肩作战，为提高当地新冠病毒检测能力而努力。对于秦朋和来说，来自非洲，将自己在中国所学的生物科技带回非洲，是件意义非凡的事。
实验室和酒店两点一线，安装设备，建立实验室，培训本地技术人员以及处理过程中可能发生的所有问题，尽管他的工作十分辛苦，但他仍然乐在其中。对他来说，可以帮助非洲人民与冠状病毒作斗争，意义非凡。秉着敬业谨慎的工作态度，他和他的中国同事一次又一次地延长了在非洲的停留时间，以确保当地技术人员可以精确地操作机器并处理全过程。
秦朋和非常感谢中国为他提供学习机会，也非常珍视和中国朋友的友谊，他表示：“非洲亟需更好的医疗机构。作为非洲人，我感到自己肩负重任，将来回到非洲，要用从中国学到的生物科技服务家乡民众。”从他的身上，我们看到了中非民心想通的情谊，也看到了世界青年用于担当的责任感。
Every day during the construction of the "Huoyan" laboratory in Africa, Valdemar and his colleagues fought side by side to improve the local new crown virus detection capabilities. For Valdemar, it is of great significance to come from Africa and bring the biotechnology he learned in China back to Africa.
Going between the lab and the hotel, installing the equipment, setting up the lab, training the local technicians, and dealing with all the problems that might arise along the way, and he enjoyed it although it is the hard. For him, it meaned a lot to help people in Africa fight the coronavirus. With a dedicated and prudent working attitude, he and his Chinese colleagues had extended their stay in Africa time and time again to ensure that local technicians can precisely operate the machines and handle the entire process.
Valdemar is very grateful to China for providing him with learning opportunities, and also cherishes the friendship with Chinese friends. He said: "Africa urgently needs better medical institutions. As an African, I feel that I have a heavy responsibility. When I return to Africa in the future, I will use The biotechnology learned from China serves the people in my hometown." From him, we can see the friendship between the Chinese and African people, and the sense of responsibility that the world's young people use to take responsibility.
踌躇满志·未来可期
The future can be expected
来自非洲的一个新兴国家，秦朋和的目标是回国并为国家发展出一份力。为了实现这个目标，目前，他选择留在中国继续学习与工作，直到真正能够有所作为。
2020年9月17日，安哥拉青年体育部授予年轻的秦朋和国家荣誉证书，以表彰他在建立分子生物学实验室方面的奉献精神，该实验室为预防和对抗Covid-19作出了贡献。
对他来说，这样的荣誉并不是偶然的，这背后是他在实验室里无数个日日夜夜的埋头奋斗，以及一次次失眠、焦虑、失败的心理煎熬。但是，他从不言弃，因为他热爱这一份工作，他时刻谨记的梦想！
“刚刚回到非洲的时候，我确实不太适应，想念中国的外卖、滴滴......”其实，在生活中，秦朋和只是一个阳光大男孩。他热爱摄影、热爱旅行、热爱美食、热爱健身，活跃在浙师校园。
From an emerging country in Africa, Valdemar's goal is to return to his country and contribute to the development of the country. In order to achieve this goal, he currently chooses to stay in China to continue his studies and work until he can really make a difference.
On September 17, 2020, the Ministry of Youth and Sports of Angola awarded the young Qin Peng with a national honorary certificate for his dedication in establishing a molecular biology laboratory, which has contributed to the prevention and fight against Covid-19.
For him, such an honor is not accidental. Behind it is his countless days and nights in the laboratory, as well as the psychological torment of insomnia, anxiety and failure again and again. However, he never gives up, because he loves this job, a dream he always remembers!
"When I first came back to Africa, I really didn't get used to it. I missed Chinese takeout, Didi..." In fact, in life, Valdemar was just a sunny boy. He loves photography, loves travel, loves food, loves fitness, and is active in the Zhejiang Normal University campus.
