Since March, a new round of covid-19 has swept through Jiangsu again, and many cities in Jiangsu have been pressed the "pause button". The epidemic "spring cold" did not stop the retrograde footsteps of the American Volunteers, they put on the battle robes and asked them to fight on the front line; they "gave up their small homes and cared for everyone", built a solid defense line for epidemic prevention and control with love and responsibility, transmitted love and warmth, and guarded the lights of thousands of families with the strength of the American years.
"Mom is going out again to fight the virus"
At 8 o'clock in the evening of March 31, 2022, Liu Jiagang, the head nurse of Wuxi Meinian Health, returned home from work, when the company's WeChat group popped up with a message: Tonight from 00:00 to 4:00 monitoring point needs emergency support from volunteers. Seeing the message, Liu Jiaqun replied with a simple three words: I signed up.
"Start work early this morning and continue to work in the evening, okay?" The leader sent a message asking. "I can", Liu Jia understood that the leader was worried about whether she could hold on, and she had confidence in herself.
The husband who was on the side already knew where his wife was going, and he silently helped his wife pack up some simple items, pack them up, and put them aside. "Mommy's going to fight monsters again?" The six-year-old son asked. Liu Jia kissed her son's face and nodded.
At more than 11 o'clock in the evening, Liu Jia was ready to leave, but she did not think that her son suddenly woke up, perhaps because of intestinal problems, and the child suddenly vomited. The task was urgent, Liu Jia instructed her husband to give the child medicine, and then disappeared into the night. She thought to herself: Just four hours, come back at night, I will observe the child's situation again, and I will not take him to the hospital tomorrow.
At 4:00 a.m. on April 1, after the end of the emergency support work, Liu Jia received a new notice and waited for the task at the monitoring point. Morning dawn dew, received a new task, the next stop is to participate in community nucleic acid testing. Until the end of the nucleic acid testing point mission, it was 11:30 midnight when we arrived at the hotel. Taking off the heavy protective clothing, she found that the scalp on her body had been smothered by the protective clothing and the urticaria was smothered out, and she was allergic. By this time, she had been working 36 hours straight, with only an hour and a half off in between.
Four days after the volunteer team's emergency support, Liu Jia returned home, and her son gave her a big hug, which eliminated all the fatigue she had at that moment. The son had long since adapted to her parting, and the four days and four nights when his mother left to fight the "monster" were still short for him. As a child, he remembered that just a few months ago, his mother "disappeared" for more than a month.
Originally, in August 2021, the epidemic prevention and control situation in Yangzhou was suddenly tense, and Liu Jia signed up for the temporary epidemic prevention commando team for the first time and threw herself into the frontline of epidemic prevention in Yangzhou. Liu Jia's husband is a company leader, and her five-year-old son takes turns eating and living in her colleague's house.
No one is born a hero, just because someone needs it. "I always feel a little indebted to my children!" My husband also silently supported me behind my back, although we are all in ordinary posts, in the country, when the people need it, to make a modest contribution of their own, so that I can be at ease. Liu Jia's simple belief supports her every day and night in volunteer service.
"Hurry up and save people"
"Quick, you get out of the car first and grab her, I will turn off the fire, it is important to save people." Zou Tao roared and said to his friend Sha Daxi.
At more than 4:00 a.m. on February 23, Zou Tao, an employee of Taicang Meinian Health, and Shaxi Daxi, a staff member of Shaxi Daxi Building Materials City, drove to the nucleic acid testing point to participate in volunteer service, and the volunteer point was gathered at 5:30 a.m., and they left from home before 4:30, and rushed to the community nucleic acid monitoring point in 40 minutes.
At 4:50, they were passing the Liuhe South Zhu Bridge. At this time, Zou Tao saw a person standing faintly on the flower bed of the bridge not far away. This is too dangerous, although there is a guardrail, but standing on the flower bed can easily fall into the Liu River. Without much time to think about it, Zou Tao asked his friend to get out of the car first to stabilize the other party, and he stopped the car on the bridge urgently. After getting out of the car, he approached and saw a young lady in a down jacket, emotional and crying. Only then did she realize that the woman might be about to jump into the river. Zou Tao and his friends quickly called the police and patiently persuaded and waited for the arrival of the police.
After a thrilling battle, they breathed a sigh of relief, too late to recall the scene of saving people on the bridge in their minds, they restored the combat effectiveness of the "full grid", and quickly rushed to the community volunteer point, a more tense "battle" was waiting for them...
"As a beautiful person who once wore a military uniform, you must have a sense of social responsibility"
"In order to guard the gate of Baoying, everyone's efforts and efforts are worth it!" At 22:42 on April 13, Pan Jinhai sent several photos of the service site at the highway intersection and wrote two sentences like this.
Pan Jinhai, general manager of Baoying Meinian Health, is a retired veteran who has been in the military for more than 30 years, as a former Wuhan person who experienced the epidemic in Wuhan in 2019, Pan Jinhai, general manager of Baoying Meinian Health, knows the importance of epidemic prevention and control. A slight slack in prevention and control work will cause the spread of the epidemic and the previous achievements will be abandoned. Recruit volunteers, write letters of request, organize epidemic prevention training, help build awnings, assist with nucleic acid testing, participate in prevention and control meetings, and all these things are busy every day.
In August 2021, at the critical moment of the epidemic in Yangzhou, he led the company's employees to form a volunteer service team, from August 10 to September 12, the Baoying Meinian volunteer team has been sticking to the Baoying epidemic prevention bayonets, measuring the temperature of vehicles and personnel, "three code" inspection and registration work.
Since March this year, in the face of the increasingly severe and complex epidemic prevention and control situation of Baoying, Pan Jinhai has led employees to participate in the "nucleic acid knocking" campaign, some communities are old communities, there is no elevator, they climb the building to distribute nucleic acid notices and nucleic acid test kits to the disabled and the elderly with limited mobility.
With the escalation of epidemic prevention and control at Baoying highway intersections, many truck drivers have also been blocked and stranded on the highway, and Pan Jinhai and Fan Fanglin, an employee of Baoying Meinian after the "90s", appeared on the list of volunteers at the highway intersection. "Every night from six o'clock to one o'clock in the morning, go back to sleep for three or four hours, work normally during the day, tired, but with our hard work and tiredness can be exchanged for the country's no 'epidemic', it is worth it!" Fan Fanglin is a non-active military man, and he feels that soldiers must have the responsibility and responsibility of "if there is a call, the call will be returned, and the battle will be won" and the responsibility.
"Mom, come back early"
In early March, a sudden outbreak of the epidemic enveloped Nanjing. On March 10, He Jing, the head nurse of Nanjing Meinian Health Jiangning Branch, was sealed in his community due to close contact, and it was only unsealed on April 2. The day after the unsealing, she left her two-year-old son behind and joined the support and nucleic acid collection ten-member group organized by Chang Huiying, secretary of the party branch, and carried out nucleic acid sampling tasks in different communities and streets for many consecutive days, every day at a rhythm of 7:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. The outside temperature for those days was 30 degrees Celsius, against the scorching sun, wearing airtight protective clothing, clothes wet, gloves full of sweat.
"Mom comes back early" Whenever night falls, my 2-year-old son will always send a childish voice from a neighbor's mobile phone. In the implementation of nucleic acid testing and sampling tasks these days, the husband is stranded in the field because of the epidemic, the neighbor has a playmate of a similar age, in order to let He Jing work with peace of mind, the neighbor took the initiative to take over the task of helping him take care of the baby. Every day after busy with the work of the sampling point, it was basically more than ten o'clock, and He Jing rushed to the neighbor's house to pick up his son. The child has dry eczema, the scalp joint calves scratched in the season are blood marks, until the end of the phased sampling task, He Jing took the time to take the child to the hospital to see.
"Thanks to China's good neighbors", He Jing supported the nucleic acid sampling work in the front, and her neighbors helped her guard the rear. During the epidemic period, the warm love between neighbors touched He Jing, and also strengthened her confidence in continuing to stick to the front line and defeat the epidemic.
"The epidemic is not dispersed, we are not dispersed"
At the end of March, the epidemic struck Suqian, a cozy and warm city, and the bustling streets became empty overnight, and all the shops on the street were closed. On the evening of March 31st, Suqian Meinian Health received instructions from its superiors and immediately organized a sampling team of 20 people to join the national fight against the epidemic.
"I can", Hou Sunliu quickly replied in the group, Suqian Meinian as the dean of the group sent out volunteer recruitment messages in less than a few minutes, the sampling team was successfully formed.
"Girlfriend, my mother heard that this epidemic is more serious, and the contagiousness is particularly strong, I don't want you to go, believe in my mother's words, we don't go", Hou Sunliu's mother learned of the news of her daughter's registration, and sent WeChat in the early morning.
Mom is a health care worker, she knows that the virus is coming, and she is a little worried about her daughter's safety. But the next morning, when Hou Sunliu saw this WeChat, her mother had already made breakfast for her. As a medical worker,at this critical juncture, even if she didn't give up, she couldn't back down, and she chose to unconditionally support her daughter's decision.
There are no heroes who fall from the sky, only ordinary people who stand up. At the moment of the epidemic, Mei Nian people are shuttling through communities, streets, highway checkpoints everywhere... Wherever there is a need, they charge there.
"The epidemic is not dispersed, we are not scattered", the figure of the American volunteers disappeared into the starry night, the sweat flowed under the hot sun, and this sentence has become the most authentic insistence of all the American people. A volunteer from the retrograde frontline of Meinian Great Health Jiangsu Province Company gathered the most tenacious force in the fight against the epidemic with a small individual strength. From March 1 to April 19, under the leadership of Cui Lan, the provincial general manager, the branches of Meinian Health in Jiangsu Province attached great importance to and resolutely supported and cooperated with the local government's various anti-epidemic work, and the branches of Nanjing, Wuxi, Changzhou, Suzhou, Kunshan, Taicang, Zhangjiagang, Nantong, Taizhou, Yancheng, Yangzhou, Baoying, Suqian, Huai'an, Yixing and other places sent about 2,000 person-times, with a total of more than 2 million nucleic acid samples.
Mo Dao spring light is difficult to pick up, floating clouds after the sunny day. Mei Nian people believe that after experiencing the "wind and waves" of the epidemic, our cities will be more "resilient", and the "epidemic" dusty spring will eventually come.
