It has been said that because God could not be everywhere, he created the mother. Today is May 8th, a holiday for mothers. On this day, some mothers gather with their children and families; some mothers are still fighting in the front line of the fight against the epidemic.
On this special day, we interviewed several healthcare workers, who are both mothers and angels in white, who are guarding their beloved treasures while doing their best to protect thousands of patients and those who need them in their own jobs.
Peking University International Hospital
Director of the Pharmacy Department Duan Jingli
At the beginning of 2020, the outbreak of the new crown epidemic made the hospital busier. Director Duan Jingli's son in the third year of junior high school and his youngest daughter in the first grade began to take online classes at home.
In order to make their mother work with peace of mind, they never let their mother worry about their own life and living, and even made their own lunch. At the end of a semester, my sister only consumed 7 masks – which means that she has only been out of the house seven times this semester.
"Although I spend less time with them, every year on Mother's Day, my children make greeting cards for me. At home during the epidemic, the parents' voices are all looking forward to the 'return of the sacred beast', but my pair of children at home have made me feel at ease. On Mother's Day, I feel so happy to have them! ”

Pediatric Attending Physician Lifang Cao
Cao Lifang's daughter is only 4 and a half years old this year and has just started kindergarten. Due to her busy work, as a mother, she can give her children very little time to accompany. Her daughter is strong and sensible, and when her mother is busy and cannot go home, she is an independent "little adult", and when her mother comes home, she becomes "clingy". When I have time, my daughter likes to go to the hospital with her father to pick up her mother from work. She is young, has understood a lot, know that her mother works in Peking University International Hospital, know that her mother's job is to treat the baby, and also know that if the mother receives a work call, she must keep quiet and cannot be disturbed, if sometimes the mother has to go to the hospital in the middle of the night, it must be a baby who needs help. Recently, the epidemic has recurred, the hospital received the task of supporting nucleic acid testing, and the daughter will also ask Cao Lifang: "Mom, if you go to support nucleic acid testing, will you also dress like your uncle and aunt downstairs as 'big white'?" ”
"The innocence and cuteness of the child, every day is like a seal, engraved in my mind, when I am tired of work, I think of her appearance, which is my greatest satisfaction." 」

Director assistant zhang xuan
As the assistant director of the radiology department, Zhang Xuan deals with many important large-scale medical equipment every day, and often can't take care of anything when she is busy, so she always has a little debt to the family and children. As a mom, she says there are times when it feels like her daughter takes care of her more. Recently, the epidemic has risen again, Zhang Xuan, as the backbone of the department, has participated in many nucleic acid collection work, and in the double test of high temperature and high intensity, the whole person feels that he is going to suffer from heat stroke at the end of the day. Back home, the daughter saw that her mother was not in a good state, hurried to ask for warmth, poured tea and water, and carefully cut the fruit for her mother to eat.
As a child of a medical worker, her daughter is proud that her mother is "white", but at the same time full of worry, she often asks her mother whether it is hard to collect nucleic acid, the danger is not dangerous, and she also advises her to protect her own safety. Whenever Zhang Xuan had a rare rest time, her daughter always pinched her shoulders and pounded her back, "Feeling the soft little hands on her body at once, as if all the soreness disappeared in an instant." ”
Peking University International Hospital
ICU Nurse Chief Guo Miao
Working in the ICU, the psychological pressure is high, the work intensity is high, as a party member and head nurse, Guo Miao leads by example and often rushes to the front line. Recently, the epidemic has recurred, and the hospital has received the task of supporting nucleic acid testing, "supporting during the day and returning to the department to continue the treatment of critically ill patients" is her daily routine, and when she returns home from work, the child is usually asleep.
She said: "The intensity of my work is in the eyes of the children, he takes the initiative to share the pressure for me, and the self-consciousness and independence are particularly strong." Although he was only a primary school student, he never asked his parents to help pack his school bags, nor did he have to supervise my father and me with his homework. He was very upset with me and often said to me: Mom, don't come home when you work so late, and you can sleep a little more in the hospital. ”
"I don't think Mother's Day is Good Friday for mothers, nor do I need my son to express gratitude to me. On the contrary, I feel extremely happy to have such a sensible son with a grateful heart! ”
Peking University International Hospital
Gynecological Clinic Nurse Zhang Jing
On the afternoon of April 25, the gynecological clinic received an urgent task of collecting nucleic acids, due to the large workload of the gynecological clinic, there was a shortage of on-the-job personnel, as the person in charge of the clinic, Zhang Jing bore the brunt. For 7 consecutive days of nucleic acid collection tasks, she got up early every day and was greedy, completely unable to take care of the children, and sometimes when she came home, the children were already asleep. On the third day of the collection mission, Zhang Jing received a call from the eldest daughter, who said with a little crying nasal voice and Zhang Jing: "Mom, these two days you are not at home at night, your sister is crying to find her mother, but you can rest assured, I have grown up, these days I can coax my sister to sleep, she listens to me, at night I tell her stories, she is very well-behaved, you can work with peace of mind, don't worry about us." You are our role model! "Zhang Jing, who was busy, listened to these words, and her tears couldn't stop flowing." My baby has grown up, as a mother I am very happy and very happy, the children are my greatest gain and happiness as a mother in this life! ”
Mother's Day is only one day in May, and the love of mothers is soaked in the children year after year.
As medical workers, many times they can't give their children the company of their children all the time like others, but because of this, they can better appreciate the growth and understanding of children, they are the pride in the eyes of children, and they are also the heroes in our hearts.
Let us say to all mothers and all the medical workers who are fighting in the frontline of the fight against the epidemic on this special holiday day: Happy Holidays!
