My city
■ Zhao Wei
A city, standing quietly under the lead-gray sky. The bright morning sun has been collected, and the afterglow that falls obliquely from the clouds is blown by the wind and wanders erratically among the buildings.
Looking at the balcony, the height of the building is staggered from near and far, the yellow wall is red or blue and white, or the ridge or the vault; the color, in the silence, is abrupt and dull; the white gas of the high chimney rolls and spreads, obscuring the shadow of the building farther away; the mountain, which is so close, the snow hidden in the folds proves its existence and height. It held up the ash of the sky with the breath of an ancient ink-colored winter tree, and could not see its majesty, only the tired breath loomed in the white of the snow; it was like a heavy curtain, set off behind several high-rises, reflecting the skeleton of the high-rise folded edges even harder. Suifenhe, a century-old port mountain city that has undergone great changes, is solemn on the eve of the Spring Festival.
Today is the twenty-eighth lunar month, the twenty-ninth is the Chinese New Year's Eve, 2022, a Spring Festival without the thirtieth of the Lap Moon.
The wind hit the walls and whistled. The increasing number of positive cases and spread areas has made the city more silent. From time to time, patrol police cars speed by with bass horns, the lights flashing dazzlingly; the epidemic prevention propaganda vehicles play familiar slogans in a loop, serious and powerful; the spacious streets are no longer sounding or shadowing, and the wind passes through without any obstacles.
People, all in the community. The anti-epidemic bayonet cabin threw out a dragon of people and stretched all the way to the corner of the second building. People keep doing nucleic acid tests and leaving, but they don't see the team getting shorter, and they always have a long tail.
In the early morning of the New Year, turning on the phone is the explosive news - yesterday's nucleic acid test found positive cases - a huge number of 12 people.
The town was horrified, the city was unable to prevent the invasion of the virus day and night, and it was Aumechjong , who came from imported grain.
Compared with the same period of previous years, the temperature is relatively high, the smiling face of the sun has not been able to detect the virus, it has taken advantage of the gap between the hundreds of dense and sparse to reveal the evil face, so that the small city pressed the pause button, all the citizens "yellow code", the store closed, the people stayed at home.
Xiao Nian, it was the day of vacation, and the notice received was "Don't go out in the morning!" "People are waiting, waiting for a notice after noon. This kind of waiting is painful, it is trepidation, waiting for "no travel, another round of nucleic acid testing at night!" "From 7 p.m. to 2 a.m., the temperature has dropped to minus twenty degrees, and waiting in line is almost the longest wait in a lifetime. The lights in the building were extinguished and lit up, and the downstairs queue was short and long, and the voices were mixed. At 8:30 the next day, there was a long line again, and there was no continuation of nucleic acid in the evening.
Until today, there have been 7 consecutive days of nucleic acid testing, people have not been delayed, and there are more elderly people in wheelchairs who are pushed by high school students and grandchildren to do nucleic acid testing. When waiting in line, there are people who talk about the epidemic, there are people who talk about the New Year's Pass, there are those who inquire about children's learning, and there are also complaints about the weather; in the cold of minus seventeen or eighteen degrees during the day, there are stomping feet, there are people who rub their hands back and forth, but there is no one who walks away because of the long waiting time; even if the adults line up, the children come down to cut in line; especially in the high school students of the online class, the family is lined up, and the children rush down, and run home to class after doing it. Whenever I see this scene, my heart is warm and calm. The virus has made the distance between people in line a meter or two, but the heart of overcoming the difficulties is closer and more persistent.
Since entering November, Suifenhe, a border city, has strengthened epidemic prevention measures, from a nucleic acid drill for all employees every ten days, to a seven-day exercise, to a five-day routine, until it becomes a daily routine! Internal and external troubles make the leisurely town tremble in the cold winter - because this small city is too small! Because this small city is so close to the border! Because the burden on the shoulders of this small city is too heavy!
In the first year of the epidemic, when the ports of the whole country were closed, this small city opened its arms to welcome the compatriots who returned home, and under the pressure of high-risk risks, it resolutely stood up! In the more than two years that the epidemic has lasted, he still bears the heroic courage and feats of the Asia-Pacific economic corridor, and has achieved a year-on-year increase in road and railway cargo! A small city where people are mainly engaged in international commercial service trade, due to the epidemic has cut off the individual retail chain, it has been difficult to have little left, but it has been insisting, insisting on the far side on the rail, the prosperity of the far side!
When the children in the mainland are safely in school, as soon as there is a disturbance, the children here have to go home to take online classes from elementary school to high school, because even if there is the highest country in the north, it is impossible to completely curb the exotic virus brought by the wheel. Children who just entered the first grade in September, after two months of classes in the classroom on campus, returned home to study, the teacher sent homework on the mobile phone, parental guidance, and completed a semester of learning content. At the end of December, I hurried back to school for a week, completed the final exams, and entered the winter vacation. What kind of memories should such a learning experience be for a child who is just starting out? High school seniors who are about to enter the college entrance examination have experienced online classes from high school. Three years of important learning time in life, when other Xinxin students and teachers face to face to answer questions, the students here and the teacher across the screen, not only the distance between teachers and students, but also the distance between the starting point and the curve of the students who are preparing for the college entrance examination at the same time! Who will give them half a cent of the favor? Are they faced with the opportunity to determine the fate of life a little euphemistic and tolerant? Only this semester has been repeated four times online classes, their difficulty, but children of the same age can imagine?
However, the small city is indestructible, and the people of this city are strong and open-minded. Their strength is not something that can be expressed in a single word, and their open-mindedness is not something that can be praised by simple praise; they have built this century-old city with the truest part of their lives! Not just a small city, this tenacity undertakes all the cities and cities, the persistence and protection of people!
The bells and flowers of the Spring Festival are already on the way, but this small city has sealed the city gate and silently fought a virus annihilation war! Isolation, fixed-point treatment, lincheng medical support, fixed-point distribution of the whole city's livelihood... The 50,000 New Year gift packages prepared by the Mudanjiang Municipal Government for the people of Suifenhe have been distributed to the homes of citizens! Everything was working properly in an anomaly, warm delivery!
Time is slowly passing, and the fight against the virus is intense and fierce, in full swing. In the evening, the community group issued another notice: "Tomorrow, on the 31st, the nucleic acid of all employees will start at seven o'clock... Maintain a distance of 1.5 meters between people... Do a good job of cold protection, warmth, safety prevention and control! ”
