Ruan Wuchang, a veteran soldier of the New Fourth Army, is 93 years old with party age of 78 years; Bao Qi, a veteran soldier of the New Fourth Army, is 98 years old this year; Yu Mingfei, a veteran soldier of the New Fourth Army, has 77 years of party age and is 100 years old this year. When the representatives of the three veteran soldiers staggered but firmly walked up to the podium, the applause from the audience was thunderous, and the stars on the stage were all lit up. The "glorious division" they represent has walked through a lifetime of fighting horses and horses, and has not stopped, continuing to tell the red story and spread the revolutionary spirit.
Qingqi has its own descendants. "Glory and Strength - 2021 Moving Shanghai Person of the Year" was recently revealed, in addition to the new Fourth Army veteran group, more of the winners are the strivers of the new era. They practice and interpret the spirit and character of the city, and gather a little shimmer into a dazzling light, adding glory and strength to the city.
"Heroes" are ordinary
Wearing protective clothing, head goggles... Since the outbreak of the epidemic, the Shanghai Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention's COVID-19 epidemic prevention and control team has always been at the forefront of prevention and control such as monitoring and judgment, pathogen detection, investigation and disposal, contact tracing, and environmental monitoring. Completed the investigation of more than 2,300 confirmed cases and more than 46,000 close contacts, sampled and tested more than 330,000 samples in key places, and successfully handled more than 140 local cluster epidemics and more than 60 suspected positive incidents of cold chain food.
They are the "detail control" of the golden eye of fire, stripping away the cocoon in the massive amount of information, accurately restoring step by step, decisively studying and judging again and again, tracing the upstream of the source of infection, blocking the downstream of the spread of the epidemic, and providing an important basis for anti-epidemic decision-making. "The close connection determines that one more is not enough, and one less is not OK; the trajectory investigation must be accurate to every second." This is the daily life of captain Wu Huanyu, such a "fast and meticulous" is to cast a safe defense line for the city's epidemic prevention and control.
Where there are heroes who fall from the sky, there are only mortals who stand up. This is true of the fight against the "epidemic", and the same is true of poverty alleviation. From Shanghai, there is one of China's longest national highways, national highway 318, with a total length of more than 5,400 kilometers, connecting Shanghai with Xigaze in Tibet. Since 1995, nine batches of 680 cadres have traveled back and forth from here. They founded the first infectious disease hospital in Tibet, the first waterworks in Shigatse, the first stadium... Harsh conditions have also plagued them: "In particularly difficult times, the spirit of 'old Tibet' supports us. Zhang Zhaotian, 70, was one of the first cadres to help Tibet. At present, the ninth batch of cadres and talents aiding Tibet continue to struggle on the snowy plateau, and "we must continue to work one stubble after another, generation after generation."
"Glowing hot" on the post
"Space Goddess" and "Jade Rabbit Mother" are all nicknames of Zhang Yuhua. For 30 years, she has spanned three major fields, dedicating her youth to manned spaceflight, lunar exploration and Mars exploration.
Aerospace "female marshals" also have moments of tears. In 2014, the "Yutu-1" lunar rover was injured by a stone while traveling, and the trip was terminated at 114.8 meters. In just a few days, Zhang Yuhua was anxious to fill her mouth with ulcers, and her throat was suddenly dumb, "Back to the dormitory, a person can't help but cry."
Holding his breath, Zhang Yuhua was determined to let the "Yutu-2" lunar rover go further. Five years, proof and proof, test and test. Today, the "Yutu-2", which is on the far side of the moon, has lived up to expectations, and as of September 13, it has completed the day work of the 35th month and has worked on the lunar surface for 985 Earth days, becoming the longest-lived lunar rover on the moon.
Ten years to sharpen a sword. She said that Chinese astronauts will continue to move towards the sea of stars, "with our lifelong efforts to light up the stars in the night sky, leaving a guiding eye for future generations."
The road is long and the road is long, and I will seek up and down. Also quietly working and dedicating himself to his post is Zou Shichang, former director of the Shanghai Institute of Microsystem and Information Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. He once said that he has mainly done two things in his life: one is to overcome the manufacturing process of "A separation membrane" and install a "heart" for the atomic bomb; the other is to develop a "Chinese core". The second thing is not done yet, and it must be done all the time.
In the eyes of Zou Shichang's student Bi Dawei, even if the 90-year-old Zou Lao recovered by practicing words when he was hospitalized, the paper was full of "integrated circuits", "anti-radiation" and "A separation membrane", "these are the several tasks he is most concerned about".
"Choose and persevere" conveys warmth
When life returns to everyday life, the city still surges with warmth.
"I can't watch a life disappear in front of me." Sheng Xiaohan, born in 2005, stepped forward at the moment of life and death and used textbook CPR operations to win valuable rescue time for an elderly man with a sudden heart attack. After averting the danger, he quietly left.
At the beginning of this year, he donated the full amount of the prize money to the children with heart disease in poverty, and formed the "Huangpu District Red Cross BOYS" to carry out volunteer service and civilized practice activities.
In those moments that reflect the brilliance of human nature, their choices and perseverance are moving. Do not seek peach and plum to fill the world, but pray that the iron tree can blossom. Zhang Xinya is not only an ordinary mother, but also the favorite "Zhang Mother" of special children.
"Because I have an intellectually handicapped daughter, I walked into the group." Her association with special children began in 2005, when she joined the volunteer team of "Sunshine House" in Quyang Road Street, Hongkou District, and became one of the first special education teachers. "We can't change their physical condition, but we can help them master the skills and integrate into society." Over the past 17 years, under the careful care of the enthusiastic "Mother Zhang" and volunteers, the potential of special children has been continuously explored: in addition to talents and life self-care skills, many children have also mastered a skill and embarked on the job.
