Escape from Edmonton

author:Yi Yi Ru is also in Chiang Mai

In this life, there are always a bunch of bumpy roads to go. Fate is a very mysterious thing, you feel that you are in hell at the moment, and others may not be in heaven. Born in the world, you can't escape the suffering you should bear, and the darkest part of the road always has to be completed by yourself.

When I watched Ben Affleck's "Escape from Tehran", the rescue process was full of dangers, the atmosphere was tense, one link was tightly linked, and without any link, the rescue operation could not succeed. When the plot of the movie is truly interpreted in my life, the trepidation and uneasiness are the same, and I am choked by fate and cannot breathe.

In November, Edindon entered the second round of the outbreak of new crown pneumonia, the number of confirmed cases reported in real time in Alberta province is increasing, the active cases of Edmington have spread red, and the residential areas on the map have fallen into a red. These freedom-loving people around them are still gathering and partying, and the rapid growth of the epidemic has not allowed them to restrain somewhat, and everyone is as sure as the king that they will never be infected with new crown pneumonia.

When there were 531 new cases every day, I didn't want to continue to endure day after day, and I was determined to return to my country and return to my family, who worried about me day and night. Just when I was preparing for returning to China, I got the notice from the government that overseas personnel must complete the double yin test within 48 hours when they returned to China, and a stone stirred up a thousand waves, and a terrifying wave was set off in the Chinese circle, and everyone panicked.

At this time, Canada's medical institutions are already in chaos, and the daily addition of critically ill patients has made the hospitals that are usually idle and on the verge of coping. The burden of nucleic acid testing is growing, and the heavy overload of operations is making healthcare workers miserable. When the avalanche occurs, not a single snowflake feels responsible, and everyone is anxious.

In order to reduce the cross-border spread of the epidemic, the Chinese Consulate in Canada notified: from November 7, Canada to take a flight to China needs to board the plane with a double negative certificate of nucleic acid testing and IgM antibody testing within 48 hours.

In just one day, the Tunli Chinese who wanted to return to China quickly gathered into groups with the help of ticketing, and for a time I was mixed in various groups of testing returnees, everyone was unprecedentedly united and offered advice, the atmosphere in each group was depressed, anxious, and all kinds of gossip news flew all over the sky, not looking panicked, looking more panicked. It's like an ant on a hot pot, and you can't live forever.

The first girl to set off on the seventh day had no choice but to save herself. She ran to Dynalife for a serum test, and it only cost 85 knives. Told that there was no guarantee that the results would be available within 48 hours, luckily received a report in the early morning of the 是️7th, and boarded the plane smoothly with the results. Later, she shared her experience with her friends in the group, and we envied it and gave birth to hope.

Then some people said that they did not get the report before boarding, had to argue with the airline to change or refund the ticket, and paid the fine and bad mood, and the mood of the big guys also rose and fell with the personal encounter.

Because there were too many Westerners to be tested, dynalife was really unable to receive them, so Chinese who wanted to return to China began to refuse reception. At this time, three and a half hours away from Tunli, Cagary came up with a capable big brother, repeated communication with the consulate, quickly cooperated with Ichor to start helping the first batch of returned Chinese to do testing, the cost of double yin testing per person was 420 knives, the process was after Ichor drew blood to do throat swabs, a batch of samples were transferred through international express three times to the laboratory in the United States to make a report, the speed of the hour in the process was unpredictable, and the weather in November was abandoned once the transmission was interrupted by snow. Everyone was anxiously waiting for the fate of the first batch of mice, and the results came, the first reports could not be obtained within 48 hours, and the result of the total annihilation of the army made everyone feel cold.

The spontaneous Chinese volunteers quickly improved, and under the continuous communication efforts with Ichor and the consulate, the second and third batches of guests got the report before boarding, and when the news of the successful boarding of all the guests came, the crowd was excited, and everyone once again lit up the hope of successfully returning home.

There are people sharing in several groups every day, and Vancouver is worthy of the elite and many respond quickly, from the first one to the next three, so fast that we who are hopeless in the tun are very envious. Some people in Tunli took the lead in flying to Vancouver three days in advance, and after staying one night, they went to the Chinese clinic in the early morning of the next day to do testing, 650 knives per person, and the speed was not guaranteed. The anxiety of the crowd followed the ups and downs of the report of the person who was about to travel.

Kagari volunteer Xiaohua also joined the group of helping Aitun Chinese, and began to let the Chinese people who are about to return to Aitun sign up in the test group of Kagari, although it is still timeless, but fortunately there is still hope for success, which has made us who are overwhelmed in Aitun envious.

The snow in Aitun this year did not come as early and heavy as last year, and the intermittent snow has made me sigh. The three-and-a-half-hour drive will take the road before the dark sky, the driver's license expires and cannot be verified, and once caught, the prison disaster and deportation will make people shudder when they think of it. As for Vancouver, thousands of new cases are added every day, the risk of getting to and from the plane and the hotel, the hardships of the road, no matter which road is difficult, the daily entanglement in the choice of road and gossip almost collapses.

From morning to night, when you don't close your eyes, you gather information in various groups, and the bad is better than the good. Everyone who was about to travel was anxious, and the body and soul were in a mess. An old aunt was completely sleepless and did not wait for the test results, took the plane to Vancouver in the early morning, the plane at 12:45 noon, every second and every moment of sitting and waiting, what kind of hot ordeal, I can imagine her watching the people who received the report cheering to print the results of the frustration and despair, the report arrived at twelve o'clock, the aunt rushed to print it out, and then rushed all the way to the boarding gate, and finally Xuanzhi mysteriously caught up with the flight home, we all breathed a long sigh for her.

It was more than ten o'clock on the morning of this day, and suddenly someone in the detection group said that dynalife suddenly reopened the appointment, you can choose the date, and then posted a screenshot of his successful registration. In an instant, the people in the group flocked to the dynalife website, and after five crashes, we finally made an appointment, and immediately went to buy a plane ticket, and after doing all this, it was past midnight. Many days of night can not sleep because of this moment of peace of mind to sleep. At the moment of falling asleep, I dreamed that I was standing on a thick vine, my fingers clenched, and suddenly I saw myself shrinking rapidly, being pushed into the sea with a thunderous momentum, and the huge waves overturned and the waves were turbulent, and I tried in horror to maintain my balance and roll with the big waves.

The reopened dynalife is still not guaranteed to be out in 48 hours, and the result is not up to fate. I was still watching with the people in the group who were close to the date, and finally waited until the two groups of little mice who were about to travel before me quickly got the good news of the report, and as the good news arrived day by day, I began to no longer doubt the possibility of going home.

It was the day of my testing, my daughter took her to the designated dynalife after class, remembered the wrong time, arrived 20 minutes late, a chubby Western girl very kindly checked our information, told me to follow her to the testing room inside to take samples, while preparing and chatting, I told her how grateful I was to her dynalife, she listened happily and thanked her, while skillfully doing pharyngeal test sampling with her hands and feet, without any discomfort. Then a beautiful Western sister drew blood, a needle to the blood, exquisite technology, less than five minutes, the double yin test was done.

I lost sleep the night I waited for the results, looked at my phone for a while, and didn't wait for the report. These days, moving and toiling, sleepy to the point of being unable to support, waking up in sleep to find that the serum report has arrived, which is extremely surprising. When cooking in the morning, my daughter screamed and went downstairs to tell me that the nucleic acid report had arrived. With all the tickets in hand, homecoming is just around the corner.

The blizzard forecast of the eighteenth day rose up one after another, and my heart was raised again, full of wild thoughts, what to do if the blizzard broke the route, and a heart was woven into hemp. The days passed hecticly and worriedly, and I couldn't help but shed tears when I thought of my husband who was thousands of miles away and was also anxious.

On the afternoon of the nineteenth, the old classmates sent us on the road of black ice and slippery on the way to the airport, and the many days of suffering and fatigue numbed our minds, and we were full of fear of unknown changes like birds of fright. Outside the airport, they hugged and said goodbye, cherishing each other, but their hearts were heavy and difficult to understand Tarzan.

Wearing protective clothing and wearing an N95 head covering, the N95's airtightness makes breathing short, the breath of carrying luggage fogs the hood, and the whole world is blurred. Boarding the Edmonton plane to Vancouver, an hour and forty minutes of flight, the protective suit was unusually hot, the N95 hoop was tightly stuck to the bridge of the nose, the leather band was stuck in the ear, every exhale, every inhalation was a gnawing pain, fear intimidated the soul, did not dare to move.

Vancouver's airport is deserted, and the doors of the once lively shops are locked and depressed. Due to the epidemic, it is impossible to find a small cart to use along the way, carrying a heavy backpack, replacing the previous bag with masks, gloves, disinfectant and diapers. Sprinting all the way, tired and sweating and panting.

In front of the floor-to-ceiling bay window at Gate D55, the sunset was red and the snow was endless, and I lay down in the waiting hall and fell asleep. The flight attendants boarded the plane, the two flight attendants of Xiamen Airlines sent out forms for passengers to fill out, the passengers who were ready to take the flight back to China were chattering, and I didn't know anything when my daughter woke me up. After filling out the form and taking a screenshot, we boarded the MF806 flight to Xiamen one after another.

Along the way, without eating or drinking, N95 broke the bridge of the nose and hurt too much to touch. I had to change into three layers of medical masks, hold my breath every four hours and change three new masks. Protective clothing exploded, adult diapers are very uncomfortable, tried many times have failed, only to find that the original pants are also technical work, I can not pee at all. Woke up and slept for a while, chased three dramas, and finally saw the plane fly into China, with mixed feelings, excited to cry.

Arrive at Xiamen Airport, line up in your seat and wait for instructions to leave the warehouse. After collecting the luggage, queue up to leave the customs and then go to the testing rooms to do nasopharyngeal and serum tests. Then take the bus to the diversion center, and the staff is already fully armed and waiting. After scanning the code, scan the code in front of the lined table to register, ready to go to the quarantine hotel. The leader of the working group, Lin, was extremely friendly, and when he heard that the children were going to take online classes during the quarantine period, they assigned us to the best Wyndham Grand Hotel Xiamen Hailu, full of gratitude in their hearts.

On the bus to the hotel, the lucky people of our car were relieved. The car is on the Haicang Bridge, the sea is in two rows, and people along the way breathe freely and walk freely on the road by the sea. We expressed our envy with all our tongues, and our hearts surged with pride and pride as Chinese.

Arriving at the Wyndham Hotel, around the corner, a bouquet of brightly colored bougainvillea is blooming. The temperature was so good, twenty-six degrees, and the air was warm and comfortable. Filled out the form again and the staff informed us about it. After arranging the rooms in turn, there are staff members to help carry the detoxified luggage to the elevator. The moment you open the door, in front of the floor-to-ceiling window is a beautiful ocean, dotted with green islands, fishing boats moored on the sea, and the long-lost sea has been waiting for a long time.

As the staff said, knowing that we had been hungry all the way, we sent a hot lunch at eleven twenty, which tasted good and sufficient, and ate well and satisfied. Dinner time can be taken out, download the Hungry App, a variety of food to see I dazzled. How many years in the country, the powerful takeaway is really dazzling, watching the electric car of the small blue car come quickly, full of happiness.

After a while, Chongqing noodles and fat sausage noodles arrived, as soon as the doorbell rang, I immediately rushed out of the door to get a hot meal, I and the children ate while admiring the kung fu, the doorbell rang again, snacks and fruits also arrived. The child said: "It is so happy to return to the embrace of the motherland!" ”!

At night, the neon of the Haicang Bridge flickers and falls like a waterfall of fireworks. The sea was silent, the world was gradually quiet, and I fell into a deep sleep, a night without dreams.

At this moment, I was lying in bed, physically and mentally safe, and recorded this difficult journey back home. Why sad and love why to worry and suffer, the human world is just a heartless dream, a dream left by chance, a dream in a dream with the body, a dream in the body, although life is bumpy, but impermanent regrets, the world is still a piece of light.
