This time, the reporter is the winner, the recorder, and the witness

Sichuan Daily reporter Li Huan.

On the morning of September 8, the Great Hall of the People, Beijing. A "family portrait" freezes more than 2,000 smiling faces. Representatives of advanced individuals and collectives in the national fight against the new crown pneumonia epidemic, as well as representatives of outstanding communist party members and advanced grass-roots party organizations across the country gathered together to usher in their "highlight moment". As an advanced individual who was commended this time, the reporter had the honor to enter the Great Hall of the People. As in the frontline fight against COVID-19, journalists are participants, recorders, witnesses, witnesses and witnesses to and document the process by which attendees receive recognition.

A "Happy Meet"

At about 7:40 a.m. on the 8th, the crowd of outsiders in Tiananmen Square surged and representative teams from all over the country walked to the Great Hall of the People one after another, and suddenly someone greeted Kang Yan, director of the Department of Critical Care Medicine of West China Hospital of Sichuan University, in Cantonese. "Professor Guan Xiangdong!" The two joyfully came to an "elbow salute". After more than 5 months, Kang Yan and his "comrades-in-arms" reunited here.

Guan Xiangdong is the director of the Department of Critical Care Medicine of the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University, and together with Kang Yan, he is known as the "Eight Immortals of Severe Illness", and the two have conducted joint consultations for seriously ill patients many times during their time in Wuhan. "Today's opportunity is so rare, Zhou Fachun of the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University, and Yu Kaijiang of the First Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University..." Kang Yan happily told reporters about his old friends, and it is precisely because of the sincere cooperation of medical experts across the country that one life in danger has been turned into a safe one by one.

I think back to a few months ago, under the layers of protective clothing, although there was communication and cooperation, we never saw each other's smiles. "Today we finally have the opportunity to say 'Happy Meet' to each other!" Kang Yan said.

A "special experience"

The Great Hall of the People, for most of the awardees, is a solemn and sacred place. Entering the middle of receiving awards is even more difficult for many people to achieve.

For this rare opportunity, the reporter specially prepared a pair of five-centimeter high heels. Although wearing high heels to "shuttle" through the Great Hall of the People is a big challenge for journalists and a special experience, journalists choose to challenge. The reporter observed that in the Sichuan representative team, there were also quite a few female representatives who were willing to accept the challenge, including Nie Chunping, head of the infection management section of the Jingyang District Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital (People's Hospital) in Deyang City, and Liu Zhichao, director of the Propaganda and United Front Work Department of the Party Committee of the Third People's Hospital of Chengdu City, chief nurse of the second ward of the Department of Gastroenterology, and deputy head nurse of the Department of Internal Medicine. "We often stop for more than 10 hours a day and I haven't worn high heels in years. But today to make myself look more energetic, I decided to wear high heels. Liu Zhichao said.

Zhao Yong, the head of the village committee of Lohas Village in Sanjiang Township, Wenchuan County, Aba Prefecture, has never worn a tie before. Before setting off this time, he specially chose a dark red tie. In the morning, he got up before 6 o'clock and asked the hotel staff to tie him carefully. He said that he was representing the whole village to receive the award, "to have a spirit."

A "true feeling"

At about 8 o'clock, representative teams from all over the world entered the banquet hall of the Great Hall of the People one after another, waiting for a big group photo. In between waiting, the staff of the Sichuan team was particularly busy. He has been in a semi-squatting position, taking pictures of the Sichuan winners one by one.

"Nursing group", "Intensive care group", "Worked in the square cabin hospital", "Hospital sense field"... In the special place of the Great Hall of the People, at the special time node of entering Beijing to receive commendations, everyone hopes to take photos according to different "standard" classifications, leave wonderful moments as much as possible, and freeze the rare friendship.

During the epidemic in Wuhan, the reporter contacted many people in the Sichuan team. At that time, they were wearing protective clothing and goggles, running and busy rescuing patients every day. For them, the scene of relaxing and taking pictures in front of them can be described as a long-lost "true feeling". (Sichuan Daily reporter Li Huan)
