On the 15th, Lukou Street in Jiangning District, Nanjing City, Jiangsu Province, was adjusted from a high-risk area to a medium-risk area. Previously, since July 29, the entire area of Lukou Street has been adjusted to a high-risk area. How is the livelihood of ordinary people in high-risk areas guaranteed? The reporter of China Youth Daily and China Youth Network interviewed a number of volunteers working in high-risk areas.
Wearing thick protective clothing and protective face shields, Huang Yongkun, born in 1994, feels like a "warrior". On August 3, after he entered the Yongxing community in Lukou Street, Nanjing, he almost "broke off" with the outside world. Every night before going to bed, he would call his parents and say that he was safe.
Wearing protective clothing and moving in the sweltering weather, Huang Yongkun felt difficult. At the end of the day, he felt sweat in his pants, "when you walk, you can feel the sweat flowing on the soles of your feet, and as soon as you take off your protective clothing, you can get a pool of water."
Huang Yongkun is a social worker at the Nanjing Jiangning Youjia Youth Care Service Center. After the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, the service center pressed the "pause button". On August 1, Huang Yongkun saw the post of volunteer recruitment on the official WeChat public account of the Jiangning Youth League District Committee and signed up. As a "new Nanjing native", he hopes to contribute to the city.
There are 73 volunteers like Huang Yongkun who go deep into Lukou Street. Wang Ating, a staff member of the Social Liaison Department of the Nanjing Municipal Party Committee, is the leader of the volunteer team. "Entering Lukou Street means that volunteering and isolation will take at least a month." At the time of registration, Wang Aating told the volunteers that they would not be able to meet with friends and family for a month. But what he didn't expect was that none of the 73 volunteers flinched.
In the past two days, Zhai Jinglong, a post-85 boy in Xuzhou, has almost run all over the two buildings of the Qunli Community in Lukou Street to assist medical staff in conducting nucleic acid testing. He is a staff member of the marketing department of Zhongke Health Industry Group Co., Ltd., and when he saw the volunteer recruitment notice in the unit work group, he signed up with his wife who worked in the same unit.
"Lukou Street is the 'frontline' of the epidemic in Nanjing, and I want to go there to 'fight'!" What Zhai Jinglong did not expect was that feng Peng, the leader of the unit, was the vice chairman of the Nanjing Youth Federation, and he was very supportive of his "absenteeism" for nearly a month, "If there is difficulty, tell us, we all support you."
On July 30, after safety training, he went to the Qunli community to "report". Nucleic acid testing, distribution of supplies, addressing the living needs of quarantined residents... Zhai Jinglong wore protective clothing and ran around the dozens of floors of the building, "at the end of the day, it was particularly hot and stuffy, like heat stroke."
Zhai Jinglong, who was conscientious and careful in his work, also took the initiative to undertake the logistics of volunteers, coordinating box lunches, protective clothing, pure water, fruits, etc. for the first batch of 51 volunteers who entered Lukou Street.
Due to the control of medium- and high-risk areas, pure water has become a hot commodity. Volunteers who took off their protective clothing urgently needed to replenish sufficient amounts of pure water to ease their efforts. As a "big housekeeper", Zhai Jinglong contacted the unit, and the company immediately sent two truckloads of supplies.
Wang Molin, 30, is the executive director of the general office of Nanjing Hengxi Project Company of China State Construction Equation Investment and Development Group Co., Ltd. At present, he has been volunteering for 13 days, mainly responsible for the epidemic prevention and control work of 555 residents in 352 households in 4 buildings and 352 buildings in Haitangyuan Community, Qincun Community, Lukou Street.
Wang Molin has regarded the residents here as his own family. Every once in a while, he and three other volunteers would go door-to-door to deliver supplies and ask them about their living needs. He found that some older residents urgently needed drugs to treat chronic diseases such as diabetes and heart disease, so he took pictures to record the names of the drugs. Under the coordination of all parties, volunteers inside and outside the region are linked, and volunteers outside the region are responsible for driving in major hospitals to purchase relevant drugs, distributing them to the outer bayonets of Lukou Street, and then the volunteers in the region will deliver the drugs to the hands of residents.
In the corridor where Wang Molin was in charge, a grandmother with mild Alzheimer's disease would smile every time she saw him, stuff him with fruit and drinks, and say: "Young man, you need to pay more attention to rest, don't be too tired." ”
In the Yongxing community, Huang Yongkun and 15 volunteers work together to deliver milk, eggs, rice, noodles, oil and other daily necessities to each resident door to door. In his impression, there are endless steps to climb every day. Coming down from a building, it is common for heat stroke reactions to occur. Every morning, Huang Yongkun would drink two small bottles of Huoxiang Zhengqi water to prevent heat stroke.
What touched Huang Yongkun the most was that an old man who lived on the first floor moved the electric fan out of the door to cool them down. The boss also took out popsicles from home and let them put them on their backs to cool off.
At the end of each night's volunteer service, the volunteers have to go through a careful killing before returning to their accommodation to rest. Every two days, they have a nucleic acid test. "We have to protect ourselves to protect everyone." Huang Yongkun said with a smile.
Lu Jing, secretary of the Nanjing Municipal Party Committee, said that under the epidemic situation, the Nanjing Regiment organized rapid mobilization and rapid dispatch. In a short period of time, a large number of young volunteers went deep into the "frontline" of the epidemic to carry out volunteer services, they gave up their small homes, were not afraid of hardships, helped the people in high-risk areas to solve their problems, helped the local epidemic prevention and control, and showed the excellent spiritual outlook of Nanjing youth.
