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.
The Nanjing Central Hospital at that time was located south of Zhongshan in Nanjing. It was named after Nanshan, which not only fit the child's birthplace, but also contained many beautiful thoughts. The ancients left behind a famous saying: "A wise man enjoys water, a benevolent man enjoys mountains. A wise man enjoys joy, and a benevolent man enjoys longevity." Taking the name of the mountain contains the blessings of benevolence and longevity, and the majesty of the mountain, the resoluteness of the mountain, the calmness of the mountain, the broad mind of the mountain, and the ambition of the mountain are also in line with the character and style of a man who is upright and upright in Zhong Shipan's heart.
Zhong Shipan hopes that this child named "Nanshan" will be as strong and strong as a mountain, as resolute as a mountain and difficult to destroy, as proud as a mountain in the face of wind and rain, and as broad and kind-hearted as a mountain with lofty aspirations. .
