Human beings are endowed with the qi of the five constants and rely on wind qi for birth and growth. Although wind qi can engender the myriad things, it can also damage them, just as water can float a boat and also capsize it. If the original right qi of the five-zang flows freely, the person is calm and in harmony; when the visiting qi of pathogenic wind strikes people, they often get ill.

夫人禀五常，因风气而生长，风气虽能生万物，亦能害万物。如水能浮舟，亦能覆舟。若五脏元真通畅，人即安和，客气邪风，中人多死。

Chinese experts on mission to help Italy fight virus

China on Wednesday sent a seven-member medical expert team (five people from Sichuan province) to Italy to help fight the epidemic and bring humanitarian relief supplies to support Italy in fighting against the COVID-19.

周三，中国向意大利派出了一支七人医疗专家组（其中五人来自四川省），并提供人道主义救援物资，以帮助意大利抗击疫情。

In a telephone conversation with State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi on Tuesday, Italian Foreign Minister Luigi Di Maio said the Italian government is paying close attention to and learning from China's successful experience in combating the virus, and is taking strong measures to contain the spread of the disease.

意大利外交外交部部长路易吉·迪马约（Luigi Di Maio）在周二与国务委员兼外交部部长王毅的电话交谈中表示，意大利政府正在密切关注和借鉴中国在抗击新冠病毒方面的成功经验，并正在采取强有力的措施遏制病毒传播。

In response, Wang said that although China still needs a large amount of medical supplies, the country will overcome its difficulties and provide Italy with medical materials including face masks and increase exports of supplies and equipment to Italy.

外交部部长王毅回应，尽管中国仍然需要大量的医疗物资，但我国将克服困难，向意大利提供包括口罩在内的医疗用品，并增加对意大利的物资和设备出口。

China will not forget the support from Italy when the country was at the hardest moment in the fight against the virus, he said, adding that China is now willing to stand firmly with the Italian people.

我们不会忘记，在中国抗击疫情最艰难的时刻，意大利给予了中方宝贵支持。此刻，中国愿坚定地与意大利人民站在一起。
