Central Broadcasting Network Tianjin February 1 news (reporter Chu Fuqing) all things greet the spring to send remnants, a year ended this evening. Chinese New Year's Eve night, when thousands of families are reunited, in the Tianjin Municipal Pension Institution, which implements fully enclosed management due to epidemic prevention and control, nursing staff and resident elderly people accompany each other, stick to each other, and step into the "gate" of the New Year together.
There are many female workers among the nursing staff, who are both the daughters of mothers and the mothers of their own children. In the Spring Festival, they can't spend it with their mothers and children, but for them, "filial piety for the children of the world" is both a responsibility and the original intention of engaging in old-age service work.
"We take care of the children, you first take care of the elderly in the hospital"
From the moment she stepped into the treatment area in the early morning, Yin Lili began her busy and tense day. Gargling, washing, combing hair, feeding, toileting, etc. for the elderly, seemingly ordinary daily care should be operated in accordance with stricter norms.

As an ordinary nursing staff in the nursing department of Tianjin Rehabilitation and Care Center for the Elderly with Dementia, Yin Lili takes great care of the elderly she is responsible for. During the epidemic period, the family could not come, and Yin Lili was consistent and refined. According to the work process, go to the room cleaning, disinfect the door handle of the corridor, measure the body temperature of the elderly, and connect with the family by video at any time, so that the family can understand the situation of the elderly in time and alleviate the feelings of missing.
The elderly have the meticulous care of the nursing staff, but who will take care of the parents and children of the nursing staff? Yin Lili's youngest son has not seen his mother since he hit high school, and this year he has been in his second year of high school, and for two years, the mother and son have kept in touch by video call. Yin Lili's parents are more than seventy years old this year, and their usual health is not very good, taking care of her two children for two consecutive years, hoping that their daughter can go home for the New Year.
As a daughter and mother, Yin Lili has not returned to her hometown for the New Year for two years. Originally planning to return to her hometown of Shenzhou Town, Hebei Province, for a reunion this year, when she was notified of the closed management, she did not hesitate to obey the management decision of the hospital. "Caring for the elderly is a conscientious job that requires great care, patience and responsibility." Yin Lili said.

On the one hand, the family who has not been seen for a long time, on the other hand, the old man who can't give up in his heart, Yin Lili is very conflicted, "We take care of the child, and then go home when the epidemic is over, you first take care of the old man in the hospital." The parents' unhesitating support gave Yin Lili great comfort.
"There is a saying that 'one person is difficult to call a hundred hearts', but It is not easy for Lili to be recognized by all the elderly people with dementia and their families who have been in contact." In the view of Huo Huilin, deputy director of the nursing department of the Tianjin Rehabilitation and Care Center for the Elderly with Dementia, Yin Lili is the strength of the hospital, and the conversation is full of admiration for her. "Generally, we will put the elderly who are more difficult to care for lily, and we are assured that the families of the elderly are also assured." Li Li really takes care of the elderly as if they were their own elderly. Huo Huilin said.
Yin Lili is one of the nearly 100 staff members of the rehabilitation and care center, choosing to stick to it, although it will be tired and hard, but they do not say tired, do not say bitter, do their best to bring comfort and tranquility to the elderly, and hope to wait for the day when the epidemic dissipates.
"I'm not taking care of the kids, I'm hurting you"
"Just take care of yourself, don't worry about us, you have to remember, I'm not taking care of the children, I'm hurting you." To this day, Li Jing, head of the third section of the nursing home in Tianjin, still clearly remembers his mother's words before leaving.

In the early morning of January 9, 2022, when he learned that due to the outbreak of the epidemic, several employees in the department were closed in the community waiting for the nucleic acid screening in Tianjin, Li Jing did not hesitate to rush to work. "At first, there were only three people on the job, but in the face of such a situation, in order to take care of the lives of the elderly, I often worked overtime, from 7 o'clock in the morning to 11 o'clock in the evening." Li Jing recalled that after a week of such high-intensity work, the team members returned to the team one after another, and her hanging heart slowly let go.
From the 2000 military to the Tianjin Nursing Home, Li Jing has held out in this position for 22 years, and the nursing home has invisibly become her other home. Because it was the Spring Festival, Li Jing was afraid that the old man could not see that her heart was not solid, so he resolutely decided to close the whole process in the hospital. And the resulting shame to his family, Li Jing felt that it could not be repaired. Whenever parents and children are mentioned, Li Jing's words are slightly choked. "As a communist party member, I should actively play the role of party member vanguard model in the face of the epidemic, I turned my guilt for my family into a strong affection for the elderly, and interpreted my original intention and mission with silent love!" Although I am not a warrior who is on the contrary, I strive to be the guardian of the peace of one side! Li Jing said.
As a police sister-in-law, Li Jing and his lover each insisted on their own posts, and on January 18, Li Jing's lover also received the task of supporting Jinnan and rushed to the front line of the epidemic. Nowadays, although the Jinnan District has been completely unsealed and the husband has returned home, there is always one less person at the reunion dinner table.

"Mother, I know that you are going to accompany the old people to tide over this time, you can rest assured that I am not the little girl I was two years ago, and I will help you take care of this family." Before leaving home, Li Jing's 13-year-old daughter told her. The sentence by sentence made Li Jing feel that the child had gradually grown up in this experience. "I will also do my job and become your pride." A mother meditated in her heart.
