Every time, when she held an oil lamp to patrol the sick and wounded in Li Si Strip, that figure appeared. The soldiers all expressed their high respect for her by kissing her figure, and they all affectionately called her "the lady with the lantern". Longfellow, a famous American poet, became a legend in England for a time, writing poems to praise her achievements.
Under such difficult conditions, nightingale made up her mind to improve the sanitary conditions of the ward and strengthen the care and nutrition for patients. After half a year, the hospital mortality rate dropped to 2.2%. The story spread all over Europe. 1860, she founded the world's first formal nursing school in London, England.
