In the same time, countless friendly people have jointly inherited and developed China France relations, Alain Merier is one of them. During an interview, the pioneer who helped develop China's healthcare industry and foreign cooperation passionately said, "Winning an award is a great honor and pride for me, my family, and my career in China." Behind this medal lies the story of generations of the Merie family's friendly exchanges with China. On September 23, 2019 local time, the third Sino French Convergence Forum opened at the Lyon City Hall. Alain Merier, Chairman of the French Merier Foundation, attended and delivered a speech. Even before the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries, the story of the Merie family's interaction with China had already begun. As a pioneer of Sino French friendship, Alan Merier's father-in-law was the first to introduce Western automotive technology into China. Alan Merier's interaction with China began 46 years ago. In 1978, he boarded the only direct flight between China and France at that time, embarking on his first trip to China. He introduced human vaccines and veterinary vaccines to the Chinese scientific research community, and thus opened the prelude to friendly cooperation between Merie Company, Merie Foundation, and China. Afterwards, Alan Merier and his father frequently traveled to China, and their cooperation with the Chinese scientific research community shifted from vaccines to diagnosis, infectious disease prevention and control, and safety prevention and control. They also collaborated with multiple Chinese universities. Over the past decades, Alain Merier has continued to promote cooperation between France and China in tuberculosis prevention, infection control, prevention and control of emerging infectious diseases and other fields, making contributions to the development of China's health industry, and witnessing the historical process of China's continuous progress in reform and opening up. In the long corridor of the conference room at the Merieux Biological Research Center in France, from black and white to color, old photos depict the friendly exchanges between several generations of the Merieux family and China.
