In May 2020, a barbecue restaurant in Dalian called "Dalian Guy Seafood Barbecue" opened, and many people wondered why the owner gave it this name.
Jiang Wenqiang's barbecue
It turned out that jiang Wenqiang, the owner of the barbecue restaurant, was the Internet celebrity volunteer "Dalian" of Wuhan First Hospital in early 2020, who was stranded in Wuhan due to an accident and became an anti-epidemic volunteer during the lockdown. Whenever he mentioned that "moment of life and death", Jiang Wenqiang had palpitations in his heart, but he never regretted it.
Why did Jiang Wenqiang stay in Wuhan at that time? How did he become a volunteer?
Unexpectedly stranded in Wuhan due to the epidemic
I think no one will forget the special time of February 2020, when the new crown epidemic suddenly struck, Wuhan became the focus of the whole country, in order to control the epidemic, Wuhan announced the lockdown. On February 15, 2020, 28-year-old Jiang Wenqiang took a high-speed train from Dalian to Changsha because of his studio.
After Jiang Wenqiang got on the car, he felt a little hungry, so he went to the dining car to order a meal, after eating, Jiang Wenqiang did not return to his original seat, because he was very tired, plus he saw that there were very few people in the nearby carriages, so he casually found a place to sit down and fell asleep.
After the train arrived in Wuhan, the attendant woke him up and told him that he must get off in Wuhan because the carriage he was in was a "special carriage for returning to Han", and according to the policy, everyone in this carriage could only get off in Wuhan.

Jiang Wenqiang did not know that Wuhan had been sealed, so after he got off the bus, he thought of finding a place to stay, and then buy a ticket to Changsha the next day. But when he walked out of the station, he was stunned, there was not a single pedestrian on the street, the shops on both sides were tightly closed, let alone find a hotel to stay, even the Internet café was not open, and worse, all the trains did not stop in Wuhan, that is, Jiang Wenqiang was trapped in Wuhan.
Jiang Wenqiang quickly called the police for help, but everyone told him that he could not leave Wuhan for the time being, and it was at this time that Jiang Wenqiang understood what had happened. Desperate, Jiang Wenqiang sat down on the ground, and he regretted very much why he didn't look at the carriage and sit down.
Jiang Wenqiang opened his mobile phone and wanted to try whether there was any other way to leave Wuhan, but the way was not found, and the help information in Wuhan was overwhelming, and the original epidemic situation was menacing, and there was a shortage of manpower everywhere, so they recruited volunteers for the society.
Jiang Wenqiang
Although Jiang Wenqiang does not understand any medical knowledge, he knows that the new crown pneumonia is the same infectious disease as SARS in the year, so he is not willing to be a volunteer at all, but jiang Wenqiang saw that after recruiting volunteers to "eat and wrap up", he was shaken, "Anyway, I can't go out, it is better to volunteer here, not only can I contribute, I also have a place to go." Jiang Wenqiang thought. In this way, Jiang Wenqiang became a volunteer at wuhan first hospital.
Overcome fears
In the footage we have seen, Jiang Wenqiang treats the work actively and seriously, it can be said that he is "a brick in the cause of fighting the epidemic, where it needs to be moved", he helps to carry anti-epidemic materials, clean the ward, chat with patients to relieve boredom... The atmosphere in the ward can be described as happy and harmonious, but according to Jiang Wenqiang himself, when he first came, he was "instigated to death".
Although Jiang Wenqiang is a warm-hearted northeastern han, he is also very afraid in the face of the raging epidemic, after all, he is also an ordinary person.
When I first volunteered, although I received a day of training, Jiang Wenqiang was still nervous, afraid that he would accidentally infect the new crown pneumonia. The others wore two layers of gloves, and he had to wear three layers to be assured, even the mask had to wear several layers to cover himself tightly. Even so, Jiang Wenqiang still had no bottom in his heart.
"I still remember how scared I was when I first became a volunteer, when I was wearing a protective suit to take a box lunch, I touched the bottom of the box and it was sticky, and the first thought in my mind was that I was infected." Jiang Wenqiang recalled.
Not long after arriving at the hospital, he witnessed the death of a new crown pneumonia patient, which made Jiang Wenqiang even more frightened. He did not dare to make large movements, for fear that the protective clothing would be torn; he did not dare to speak more, because he felt that the mask might leak air, and even when he went to the ward, he had to hold his breath and did not dare to breathe.
Once, a patient in the area that Jiang Wenqiang was responsible for suddenly had a nosebleed, and the patient accidentally threw the blood-stained paper ball onto Jiang Wenqiang, who felt that his eyes were black and began to have difficulty breathing, and he thought that he was unfortunately infected.
In the next few days, he was so panicked that he couldn't even do his job well, and when his colleagues saw him in a trance, they asked him with concern what was wrong. He had to tell his colleagues that he was not breathing well, and that he might be infected with the new crown virus. Therefore, the hospital immediately arranged for Jiang Wenqiang to be examined.
Fortunately, the test results were normal, everything was Jiang Wenqiang himself scared himself, he wore several layers of masks, breathing was already a little difficult, plus he was highly nervous at the time, so he would feel that he was infected with the virus. "In addition to doctors and patients, I am the closest person to the new crown virus." Jiang Wenqiang said so.
Afterwards, colleagues paid great attention to this young man who arrived unexpectedly, conducted psychological counseling for him from time to time, and also introduced Jiang Wenqiang to the staff of Liaoning Aid. Jiang Wenqiang looked at his colleagues who were fighting in the front line without hesitation, coupled with the guidance of his friends, he gradually overcame his fear.
"Although the nurses in the hospital are all little girls, I think they are better than my grandfathers, they are not afraid at all, I have to look up to them." 」 Whenever Jiang Wenqiang talks about the medical staff fighting in the frontline, he will sincerely express his respect, and it is they who make Jiang Wenqiang no longer fear and bravely face the new crown virus.
"Dalian" is on fire
With the encouragement of his friends, Jiang Wenqiang began to actively devote himself to the anti-epidemic work, and his busy figure appeared in all corners of the hospital. "I've done more work these days than I've done in the last twenty years." Jiang Wenqiang joked.
As the days passed, Jiang Wenqiang's volunteer work got better and better, and the patients also liked this Dalian guy with a "big ballast flavor", so everyone no longer called him his real name, but affectionately called him "Dalian".
Therefore, Jiang Wenqiang set up a chair for himself as a "workstation" in the open space, and if necessary, he could come here at any time to find him. Jiang Wenqiang also found a piece of paper to paste on the wall behind him, which read, "Dalian guy waiting place, the guardian of the goddess on the ninth floor, if there is a need to summon back, please shout 'Dalian'." People like the warm and humorous "Dalian", so they draw a lot of stick figures on the paper as decorations.
Gradually, many patients who had been cared for by "Dalian" recovered, and they found Jiang Wenqiang, excitedly shook his hand, and thanked him. "'Dalian' always helped me pack my things, and then we talked and got to know each other, and I learned how she came over, and the lads were very nice." Some patients said.
Subsequently, someone posted Jiang Wenqiang's special experience on the Internet, and "Dalian" quickly became an Internet celebrity, and even CCTV went to interview him. It was only then that Jiang Wenqiang's parents learned that their son had not gone to Changsha, but was volunteering in Wuhan.
Jiang Wenqiang is very filial, he does not want his parents to worry about him, so he keeps telling his parents that he is talking about business in Changsha and will not be able to return after a while. In the face of the interview, Jiang Wenqiang said to his parents: "I am living very well here, and everyone takes good care of me. The day the epidemic is eliminated will be when I return home. ”
When netizens learned of the "special origin" of "Dalian", people praised him and paid attention to his safety. Someone joked: "Jiang Wenqiang's experience can be made in movies, this is a realistic version of 'people on the road'." ”
Since everyone in the hospital wears protective clothing, in order to identify themselves, people write personal information on the back of the protective clothing. After the "Dalian" fire became popular, many people came to take a photo with him, and Jiang Wenqiang, who was worried about affecting his work, had to wipe off the "Dalian" on his clothes and change it to "cleaning".

"After I'm red, I have to pay attention to the image from time to time, because I represent my hometown." Jiang Wenqiang said.
After more than forty days in the hospital, the epidemic in Wuhan was effectively controlled, and Jiang Wenqiang was told that he could follow the Liaoning medical team home. According to the excitement, Jiang Wenqiang hurried to do the nucleic acid. On March 30, Jiang Wenqiang happily boarded the plane home.
The medical team went home
The deeds of heroes have not stopped
After returning to his hometown, Jiang Wenqiang closed his mobile game studio, and in May 2020, Jiang Wenqiang opened a barbecue restaurant, although he was tired, but he had a very fulfilling life. But the good times did not last long, and in July 2020, dalian also broke out.
Unlike Wuhan, the outbreak in Dalian was in July, in the heat of the summer, coupled with the fact that the protective clothing was airtight, it was very hot and stuffy to wear, and I was sweating for a while. But Jiang Wenqiang was not afraid, he took the initiative to put on protective clothing to fight in the front line, and he also sent lunch and mung bean soup to the staff at his own expense.
Jiang Wenqiang took the initiative to ask for help
"I originally entered Wuhan by mistake, but now I am taking the initiative to ask for battle." I learned a lot during my time in Wuhan, and now I can come in handy. Jiang Wenqiang said.
Due to the grim situation, Jiang Wenqiang took the initiative to ask Miao to volunteer in the isolation hotel, which meant that he had to wear a sweltering protective suit to cover up for a day, and when he took off the protective clothing at night, Jiang Wenqiang seemed to have just fished it out of the water, and even a lot of sweat could be poured out of the protective clothing.
Due to working in protective clothing for a long time, Jiang Wenqiang's body was covered with acne, which was shocking to watch. However, Jiang Wenqiang did not care at all, still insisted on working, and even took time out of his leisure time to explain the essentials of epidemic prevention to his companions. "The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, and I know this knowledge to protect my hometown better." Jiang Wenqiang said.
Like volunteering in Wuhan, Jiang Wenqiang still did not tell his parents about his volunteering, and it was not until the TV station reported him that his family did not know that Jiang Wenqiang had returned to the front line. However, his parents did not stop him, and after reading the news, they called their son and warned him to try to repay the society.
With the experience in Wuhan, Jiang Wenqiang was not so afraid this time. "When I was in Wuhan, I was not prepared at all, I suddenly entered the hospital, or directly faced the patient, this time I was fully prepared, and the contact was only close contacts, so my heart was not as nervous as before." Jiang Wenqiang explained.
In addition, the more important reason is people's support and concern for their work, which makes Jiang Wenqiang in the sweltering protective clothing like a spring breeze.
Once, Jiang Wenqiang did not eat at night, but the surrounding restaurants were already closed, so someone offered to bring him food. Jiang Wenqiang found a small card under the hot lunch box, which read: You are the pride of our Dalian people, come on Dalian.
With the efforts of countless people, the victory of the epidemic in Dalian ended, Jiang Wenqiang also took off his protective clothing, and in just a few dozen days, Jiang Wenqiang lost several laps, and countless prickly heat was covered on his body. Looking at the peaceful hometown, Jiang Wenqiang smiled brightly.
Because of his excellent performance during the epidemic, Jiang Wenqiang won the titles of "China's Most Beautiful Volunteer", "National Excellent Epidemic Prevention and Control Volunteer" and even appeared on the "China Good People List". More importantly, some directors said that they would shoot a work based on Jiang Wenqiang.
In October 2020, the national anti-epidemic situation was very good, and in order to commemorate the people who paid in obscurity during the epidemic, the anti-epidemic drama "Together" was released. The work tells the protest story of ten ordinary people, including the story of Jiang Wenqiang, the character in the play is called Song Xiaoqiang, and interestingly, Jiang Wenqiang also starred in the play.
"Together"
Jiang Wenqiang is like his role in the play "Song Xiaoqiang", like a xiaoqiang who can't die, he can always live a wonderful and outstanding life in adversity.
end
In the days that followed, Jiang Wenqiang's barbecue shop was thriving, and many people went to visit him; he also revisited the old place and returned to Wuhan to visit his old friends, who also fulfilled his promise of "eating and staying"; at the end of 2021, Jiang Wenqiang and his girlfriend were together, and the two were very affectionate. Having experienced the test of life and death, I believe that Jiang Wenqiang knows the true meaning of life better.
On the right is Jiang Wenqiang
Jiang Wenqiang's "chance encounter" with Wuhan allows us to see his optimism and dedication, even in such a harsh environment, he can serve the people, perhaps this is "ordinary greatness".
"I'm just an ordinary person, I just do ordinary things." Jiang Wenqiang said.
Now, two years after the outbreak of the new crown epidemic, the mainland's anti-epidemic work has achieved remarkable results, and behind these results is the result of the joint efforts of countless ordinary people like Jiang Wenqiang. Although the personal strength is small, but the sparks are gathered, it is bound to burn, ordinary people also contain extraordinary power, who said that standing in the light is the hero?
