This is a true story in human history, a story about how plague shaped our cities and even the world today. In the 19th century, during the era of Queen Victoria in England, London, as a modern metropolis, suffered from disease pandemics every few years, with each outbreak claiming thousands of lives. Doctor John Snow conducted a series of studies and discovered and proved that cholera exists in water. When no one believed it, the Reverend Henry Whitehead helped Snow plot the number of people who drew water to drink versus the number of people who did not draw water to drink on the same graph and label the number of deaths in each neighborhood. It was found that the further away from the water pump, the fewer deaths occurred. It turned out that the water pump was the source of pollution. This great discovery saved the city of London from the last cholera outbreak in Britain. This neighborhood map has deservedly become one of the most influential maps in history, as important as Columbus's early maps that led navigators around the world. It created a new way of life, and people began to build sewer systems, create urban public facilities, and ensure clean water for the benefit of everyone. And this period of history that ushered in a new era of medicine is also deeply recorded in the immortal monument of the progress of human civilization.
