Wearing the armband that reads "Party Building Rally Callo", I had a sudden excitement in my heart. Since the 24th, I have become a volunteer in the frontline of the fight against the epidemic in Gansu Province.
The person who gave me the armband was Guo Jia, secretary of the Party Working Committee of Jiuquan Road Street in Chengguan District, Lanzhou City.
Guo Jia's Jiuquan Road subdistrict has jurisdiction over 5 communities with a total of more than 55,000 residents. The Yangjiayuan community where the reporter is located is one of them.

The first task that journalists participated in as volunteers was to organize nucleic acid testing. From the 24th, Lanzhou City launched the second round of nucleic acid testing for all employees, and Chengguan District required it to be completed within 48 hours.
After the sudden hectic task, the community staff and residents have experience, and they are more and more tacit in cooperating with each other. Nevertheless, the new round of nucleic acid testing for all community workers and volunteers is still an "uphill battle".
"The biggest pressure is to check the hidden dangers as soon as possible, and we have to race against time." Guo Jia took the reporter to measure the temperature of the residents, and briefly introduced the most important work of the community now.
In the alley, residents lined up from the Xinhua branch of Changjia lane primary school. This is a nucleic acid collection point in the Yangjiayuan community. Walking along the line into the school playground, the reporter saw that it was divided into several areas such as personnel diversion, temperature measurement, information registration, queuing, nucleic acid testing, etc., and the ground was pasted with red bars marked with a distance of one meter, and community workers and volunteers wore masks to command, and everything was in order.
"In order to improve efficiency and avoid crowding of people, we divided the time period for nucleic acid testing according to the house number and notified them one by one." Guo Jia said that for residents with inconvenient travel, the community also provides door-to-door services.

Yang Jing, secretary of the Yangjiayuan Community Party Branch, held a horn in her hand and kept reminding everyone to pay attention to the interval between queues. Carefully organized by street community officials, citizens participating in the queue waited quietly, and students recited English words in a whisper.
Since the outbreak of the epidemic, Yang Jing has led more than a dozen staff members in the community to rotate continuously, and only rested for 2 hours on the 23rd and 24th. Ms. Yang's husband works in another community, and the couple haven't seen each other in nearly a week.
"Despite the tiredness, community work conveys emotion at all times." Yang Jing said that during the epidemic, all sides have reached out to the grassroots.
Guo Jia introduced that during the epidemic, more than 230 cadres of government organs sank to the streets of Jiuquan Road, enhancing the grass-roots anti-epidemic force. There are also many citizens who take the initiative to ask for help.
Gou Yongsheng, a 71-year-old veteran who is responsible for maintaining the order of the team, has worked continuously for 12 hours; Duan Wei, a 32-year-old veteran medical soldier, has brought his own materials to undertake the elimination of nucleic acid collection points and some streets; Ren Yujia, who works in the Lanzhou Employment and Talent Service Bureau, has sunk to participate in the epidemic prevention work in the Yangjiayuan community, she ate cold steamed buns in the tent, endured stomach pain and returned to her post...
Many volunteers, who don't want to be named, turn around and go into busy work.

By the early morning of the 25th, the temperature was constantly dropping, and the number of people queuing was slowly decreasing. Although the reporter wore a plush and thickened storm jacket, he still felt that his hands and feet were cold. Some volunteers began to stretch their legs and support their waists. After standing on duty for 6 hours, the reporter personally experienced that this was an unconscious action to relieve soreness and numbness.
Suddenly, a bottle of hot drink was handed to the reporter, and the warmth instantly flowed to the whole body. I saw an enthusiastic citizen holding two bags of heated walnut dew distributed to the crowd. The reporter chased after the interview, he waved and left. "This is the second time he has sent us, and when he is finished, he will leave." Volunteers said.
At 1 a.m. on the 25th, the crowd dispersed. According to the unified arrangement of the street, reporters and other community workers and volunteers temporarily returned to rest. Yang Jing said that this is the earliest time to go home in the week since the outbreak occurred.
The medical staff were taking off their protective clothing, they were covered in sweat during the day, their bodies were wet and wet, and they couldn't help but shiver slightly when they encountered cold air. In order to save protective clothing, they have not eaten or drunk for 6 hours. The community workers joked with them: "You are wearing diapers and it is not convenient to squat, we are squatting down and can't stand up." ”

Shi Hui, director of the Government Affairs Service Center of the Jiuquan Road Subdistrict Office, said that as of now, the number of medical staff who have sunk into the community has increased from the first batch of 60 to more than 240, and they come from provincial medical institutions and neighboring cities and states.
At 6:30 a.m. on the morning of the 25th, the reporter rushed to the Jiuquan Road Street Office Government Service Center. It was still dark, and the staff member Yang Liuqing was washing. She had worked overtime the night before to count supplies and had not returned home. Like her, there are many people living in community service centers these days.
On the morning of the 25th alone, Shihui has received donations from three caring enterprises, including instant noodles and fast food. These volunteers have just arrived and are immediately engaged in community work.
Lei Min, a 47-year-old resident, was scheduled to undergo a nucleic acid test between 12 noon and 13 p.m. "We see everyone's hard work in our eyes, as long as we cooperate well, the epidemic will definitely end as soon as possible." She said.
On the evening of the 25th, it rained lightly in Lanzhou, and the temperature dropped to 9 degrees Celsius. Night has fallen, but the work of nucleic acid testing is not over. (Reporter He Asked)
