OBQ 1469: Chinese origins

The propaganda machines from China are on full throttle to save the country from the bad press it is getting for the SARs CoV-2 (also  not so rightly known as COVID-19) outbreak that traces its origin in the country.

However there is something that they should be proud of, here is a man of Asian origins whose discoveries and innovation are part of any fight against pandemics. He is one of the reason why masks are such a big part of this fight.

Who is he?
Answer: Dr. Wu Lien Teh the doctor who first promoted the usage of masks in world of medicine.
