Zhong Nanshan was born in Nanjing Central Hospital on October 20, 1936. Zhong Nanshan’s father Zhong Shipan and mother Liao Yueqin named their first son Zhong Nanshan.
At that time, Nanjing Central Hospital was located south of Zhongshan, Nanjing. It is named after Nanshan, which not only corresponds to the birthplace of the child, but also contains many beautiful meanings. The ancients left behind a famous saying: "The wise enjoy the water, the benevolent enjoy the mountains, and the benevolent live long". The name of the mountain contains the blessing of benevolence and longevity. The majestic mountain, the firm mountain, the calm mountain, the broad mountain, the majestic mountain are also in line with the character and style of the indomitable person in Zhong Shipan's heart.
Zhong Shipan hopes that this child named "Nanshan" will be as strong as the mountain, as strong as the mountain, as indestructible as the mountain, as proud as the mountain, as broad-minded and ambitious as the mountain.

The three words "Zhong Nanshan" have almost become synonymous with telling the truth. Whenever an epidemic breaks out in full force, his sharp comments always cause a stir. Strangely, doctors' credibility dwarfs that of some authorities. Although SARS is a thing of the past, those who witnessed it will never forget it.
Zhong Nanshan’s spirit of “dedication, pioneering, pragmatic and social” is affectionately called “Nanshan style” by comrades. On January 15, 1997, the Guangzhou Municipal Party Committee awarded him the title of "Model Communist Party Member". The Guangdong Provincial Department of Health also wrote a special letter requiring comrades on the medical front across the province to learn "Nanshan Sports".
