On the 13th, after receiving the news of the outbreak of the epidemic, our unit immediately launched the "hardcore" anti-epidemic model, using protective clothing as a suit, using the throat test as a weapon, always maintaining the working state of "white + black" and "listening to the command + non-stop", and cracking the anti-epidemic code.

After experiencing the first two epidemics, I deeply realized that in the face of the epidemic, the most critical thing is to grab time, and every nucleic acid collection is a race against time and a contest with the virus.

Therefore, that afternoon, after I was ordered to go to the Jieshan Town Government and the Jieshan Police Station to collect nucleic acid information from public officials first, I rushed to the village without stopping to collect all the village cadres, ensuring the safety of all front-line fighters in the jurisdiction at the first time and ensuring the smooth development of the follow-up anti-epidemic work.

It was too late to take a nap, and after receiving the order, I continued to rush to the next stop to serve the returnees. When I returned to the unit after the end, it was late at night, the surrounding area was silent and dark, but our health center was brightly lit, and the epidemic prevention team was busy all night.

On the morning of the 14th, I set out into the village to participate in the national nucleic acid collection work. Due to the inconsistent timing of nucleic acid collection in the 7 townships of Quangang, I had to go from village to village every day to support, the schedule was tight, although I was tired when I returned to the unit, I did not dare to sleep too deeply, for fear of missing the emergency notification on my mobile phone. At 3:00 a.m., I slept for less than three hours, woke up and packed up and continued to set off, not daring to delay for a moment.

On the 16th, I came to Etou Village and found that there were many paralyzed villagers in the village who were paralyzed in bed and had limited mobility who could not participate in the centralized collection, so I took the initiative to ask Miao to go into the house to collect nucleic acid for them. In order to collect nucleic acids from villagers' homes, I wore protective clothing, carried specimen transfer boxes, and various samples, and went door to door to collect nucleic acids.

Liu Xingmei came to collect nucleic acid samples for villagers with limited mobility

The road in Goosehead Village is narrow and steep, and the staff in the village carried me in an electric car, bumping all the way, encountering a road that the car could not pass, and could only drop me. I walked forward carrying a bulky sample of material, and when I came down in the morning, the thick shoe covers had long been worn out, and the sweat had crumpled my clothes and palms.

"Liu Xingmei, you are now racing against time, the longer the time drags on, the greater the possibility of the spread of the virus, and we must buy time." At that time, I only remembered this sentence in my head, and I only thought of completing the task of nucleic acids for all the staff as soon as possible, not caring about the exhaustion and soreness of my body, because I had to go to another village before the afternoon to collect.

In the blink of an eye, day after day of nucleic acid collection has lasted for more than half a month, and for more than 10 days, I have been straining my nerves at all times, playing twelve minutes of spirit every day, and dare not waste a minute and a second. Although my home is only a short 10-minute walk from the health center, in order to carry out tasks at any time, I am on standby in the health center for 24 hours. My husband is also a doctor, and at this moment he is also at the forefront of the fight against the epidemic, so the young children in the family can only ask their in-laws to help carry them, and when they think of them, they are relieved by video that the thoughts and worries in their hearts are already very satisfied.

This time, there are still many people in our family who are "retrograde" with me on the "epidemic" line. My father is a rural doctor, engaged in the medical service industry for more than 50 years, although he has passed the age of ancient times, but still deeply loves the medical cause, he often told our children, as a medical worker, to save lives and help the injured as their responsibility, so that people have less grief in the world.

Under his influence, 5 of our 6 brothers and sisters are involved in the medical industry, and most of our partners are in this industry. During the epidemic period, my eldest brother served as the director of the isolation ward of Quanzhou People's Hospital, responsible for the admission and isolation of patients in the control area under his jurisdiction; my fourth sister was also a member of the nucleic acid sampling team and entered the front-line epidemic area for nucleic acid sampling; my niece was responsible for the collection and reporting of nucleic acid sampling results, close contacts, and positive patient information in the sealing and control areas...

Usually, we are parents, children, and family members, but now we have only one identity, that is, the white angels who fight the epidemic and defend the health of the people. In my father's eyes, we were his proudest children. I hope that this epidemic will pass quickly, and I hope that everyone can stay by the side of their families in good health, so that the efforts of each of our medical staff are worth it.
