Ye Qing remembered the last time she saw her husband. On January 24, the third day of home isolation after suspected covid-19, he was alone in the house his mother used to recuperate. She brought milk, fruit and boiling water bottles, and her husband heard the door open and came out of the bedroom, before he could put on a mask, she alerted him, and then put his things down.

"Still burning or not?" she asked.

"Every afternoon and evening I have a fever."

"Did you rest well yesterday?"

"I didn't fall asleep in the first half of the night, I fell asleep in the second half of the night."

"You don't want to come over tomorrow." The husband said: "It is not appropriate to stay here for a long time, you should leave quickly." "He drove his wife out.

Ye Qing carefully observed her husband, his mental state was very good, and he should recover soon. After two minutes in the house, she left. The husband will be fine, she said to herself, a belief that had never wavered since January 18.

Ye Qing's husband, Xiao Jun, is a general surgeon at wuhan Red Cross Hospital. He is 50 years old, not very tall, and his hair is somewhat thin, which may be the result of years of fatigue. At six o'clock in the afternoon of January 18, he came back from work and said that he was unwell, afraid of the cold, and had a cold. He was a little suspicious of pneumonia, so he did not eat with his wife and daughter, but used chopsticks to clip the dishes into the bowl and sat down to eat one meter away. He asked his wife to sleep with his daughter and not to sleep with him, and the wife was not happy, "You just have a cold." He insisted.

On 19 January, the situation got worse and he began to have a fever. He took cold medicine, went to bed early, got up at six o'clock the next morning, and went to work in the hospital.

On January 20, Ye Qing said: "If you have a cold, you will ask the department for leave." "How about that, there are so many patients now, I can't walk away." After saying that, I went to work again. Xiao Jun is used to walking to and from work, his home is about six kilometers away from the hospital, it takes forty-five minutes to walk, usually as long as he does not work overtime, he will go to the nearby park to run a lap and then go home. He maintains the habit of exercising and has always been in good health. Ye Qing also wondered in his heart, he hadn't had a cold for so many years, how could he suddenly have a cold and fever?

That day, she was a little worried, driving to the hospital in the evening to pick up her husband and then pick up her daughter from school. In the car, Xiao Jun wore a mask and did not say a word. Dinner was my husband's favorite ribs, and he didn't eat it and rested.

At six o'clock in the morning of January 21, she asked her husband, "Are you better?" "It doesn't matter!" The husband said. That day he had a 24-hour shift, from eight o'clock in the morning to eight o'clock in the morning the next day, he was supposed to go home for a meal and then go on duty, but in the evening Ye Qing received a call from her husband, "I did lung CT, there is a problem with my right lung, I will not go home at night, tomorrow I will talk about it." At that time, Ye Qing was so anxious that he cried on the other side of the phone.

Hearing his wife's crying, Xiao Jun comforted her: "It doesn't matter, even if it is new crown pneumonia, it is a mild disease, you don't have to worry too much." ”

On the morning of January 22, Xiao Jun consulted with the director of the respiratory department of the hospital, and the doctor said: "It is very likely that it is new crown pneumonia." ”

At that time, the epidemic had broken out, and the Wuhan Red Cross Hospital was requisitioned as the first batch of fever patients in Wuhan, receiving more than 2,000 fever patients every day, with a shortage of manpower, Xiao Jun's general surgery department was also merged into a fever clinic, and the doctor also received fever patients after short-term training. Each doctor receives about a hundred patients a day. Xiao Jun's colleague recalled at that time: "The patients were in a tidal wave, the basic protective measures were in short supply, and they were on the verge of collapse for a while. ”

So, a harsh reality is that the hospital no longer has beds for the infected surgeon.

Xiao Jun decided to stay at home. He bought medicine at the hospital and moved into a small house where his mother was idle. Ye Qing visited him every morning and brought some daily necessities, and his mother lived nearby and brought him some meals. On January 25, the condition worsened and the medicine was almost finished, xiao Jun decided to go to the hospital early the next morning to see.

Ye Qing wanted to drive him, but he didn't agree, "The space in the car is closed, I'm afraid you'll be infected." "The traffic in Wuhan has stopped, and he walked to the hospital alone, walking four or five kilometers. Ye Qing went to the vegetable market to buy green vegetables and beef, and wanted to wait for her husband to return from the hospital to eat. At 11 a.m., he called his wife one last time, "There is a problem with the lung examination and needs to be hospitalized." Ye Qing never waited for her husband to return. The next day all day, she did not have a message from her husband, she sent a WeChat message saying, send you some milk, he did not reply.

On January 28, Ye Qing learned that her husband had transferred to Wuhan Jinyintan Hospital the day before. In the morning, she received a WeChat message from her husband, "I am in Jinyintan now, you have nothing to do, don't call me, I will notify you when I am well." She knew her husband didn't want her to worry. In the afternoon, her husband asked her to bring some daily necessities such as slippers, masks, and tissues. Ye Qing arrived at Jinyintan and could not enter the building, so she had to entrust the items to the security guard of the complex building, who put the items in the stairwell, and the next day, her husband said, "Wife, the things have been received." ”

During the day on January 29, Ye Qing and his daughter stayed at home, Ye Qing listened to her husband's words, did not dare to disturb him, was really worried at night, sent a WeChat and asked: "Is it better today?" ”

"Today is much better, I didn't have a fever for a day."

"You just have three days without a fever." The wife said.

"Come on Dad, you have to keep a good attitude." The daughter added.

"Husband, you will definitely recover, come on, eat more dishes, improve immunity, go to bed early." The wife was overjoyed.

The bad news came one after another on the morning of January 30. The doctor from Jinyintan called: "Dr. Xiao's condition is very dangerous, his blood oxygen dropped sharply, three times. ”

Ye Qing began to cry after listening to it, and her daughter also cried next to her, "You must save him." ”

"You have to be mentally prepared, we will try our best to rescue."

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the doctor called and said that the blood oxygen had been restored to eighty. She thought, there was hope. But at six o'clock, the doctor told her to hurry to the hospital and said that Dr. Xiao was rescuing her in the South Building. She took her daughter over. The doctor took a piece of paper and asked her to sign, she did not look at it and fainted, thinking that her husband was dead, the daughter said that the father was still rescuing, and the daughter shouted at the direction of the father's ward: "Daddy, come on!" The doctor said, "It's very polluted, so go home." "She had to take her daughter home.

There was no news of her husband for the next six days. She could not eat at home, the spirit was committed, the daughter sent WeChat to her father every day, cheered him up, and stood at the window to pray in the direction of Jinyintan Hospital. "We're all waiting for you at home." The daughter said in WeChat.

On February 5, the doctor asked her to come to the hospital to pick up the valuables of Xiao Jun, a patient in the ICU's 12 bed. After hearing it, she cried, thinking that there was no hope, "He will bring these things back himself." She brought back a bunch of keys, a cell phone, a medicament card and fifteen dollars of change. Everything else is destroyed.

The time is 6:15 PM on February 8. Ye Qing remembered it very clearly, even if he wanted to forget it, he couldn't forget it. She received a call, "Dr. Shaw is gone, you hurry to the hospital to get his death certificate." "She, her daughter, her father-in-law, and her mother-in-law all went. It was in the square of Jinyintan Hospital that she received her husband's death certificate. As shown above, Xiao Jun's death time was 18:13 on February 8, 2020.

"I want to give him one last ride." Ye Qing said to the nurse.

"I don't know when the funeral home car is coming, sometimes it's the middle of the night, you can't be here, it's very polluted, you have to go." The nurse advised her.

She looked at her in-laws, who were already in their seventies, and there was no way, she could only leave with her whole family.

That night, she turned on all the lights in the house, and the death certificate was there, but she always felt that her husband would come back. Like the last twenty years.

Neither Xiao Jun's family nor his colleagues expected him to leave so quickly and so suddenly.

How did Xiao Jun get infected? Probably the woman who came to see the patient two days ago. Her husband had a fever, she hid it, and she slept in a bed in an extra bed, just across the street from the doctor's office. Xiao Jun's colleague Zhang Wenbin recalled that at that time, everyone thought that the epidemic was not very serious, and the official news said that the possibility of human-to-human transmission was very low, and it was a preventable and controllable disease, so the doctors only wore a layer of ordinary surgical masks. After Xiao Jun's accident, all eleven doctors in the department did lung CT, and three doctors were infected.

On February 2, there was a oolong. A colleague heard from nowhere that Dr. Xiao had failed to rescue him and that he had died. On the one hand, there was a sharp increase in fever patients in the department, and on the other hand, the news of the death of a colleague, everyone had a collective emotional breakdown, and once felt that the work could not be carried out. Later, I heard that Xiao Jun was still rescuing, and my emotions slowly recovered.

In general surgery, Xiao Jun is notoriously dedicated and responsible, doing six or seven appendix surgeries every day, known as the "Little Prince of appendix". "Compared with those big professors and big experts, we usually receive some common diseases and common surgical procedures, and we just do simple work in ordinary jobs." Zhang Wenbin said. But once during an operation, Xiao Jun's performance impressed him.

It was a patient in a car accident, with a closed injury to the abdomen, a ruptured intestine, and a hematoma in the spleen. On the day of the operation, the organs were bleeding again, and the amount of bleeding had reached the target of the second operation. In general, doctors will choose to operate early to prevent the deterioration of the patient's death, but the secondary trauma is very damaging to the body. It was 2015, and doctor-patient disputes were frequent, and the pressure on doctors was very high. Xiao Jun felt that although the patient was bleeding, but the blood circulation was stable, the heart rate was not fast, and he could be treated conservatively first, and if not, he would operate immediately. "I'll take all the risks." That's what he said. He stood guard next to the patients for three days. Three days later, the patient passed the dangerous period.

"After Xiao Jun successfully saved him, we all admired him. How to say it? Sooner or later, if the operation is prescribed, the risk of the doctor is lower, and the patient benefit is less. But he kept insisting. Zhang Wenbin said.

In 1991, Xiao Jun graduated from Hubei Medical College and worked at the Wuhan Red Cross Hospital after graduation. He worked in the hospital for 29 years, during which he studied for one year at Wuhan Union Medical College Hospital and Guangzhou Medical College. He had saved a lot of people, and he was on call, and when he got a call in the middle of the night, he ran to the hospital for surgery.

"I have a great sense of accomplishment in the hospital every day to save people, treat others, and solve other people's pains." He said to his wife. Every time he saved a patient, he was happy.

Xiao Jun's biggest hobby is watching movies, and if it is too late to go to the cinema, he will download it online. He loves to sing and record it with his phone app. He also loves to play games, and in that moment he can completely relax. His monthly salary is more than 7,000 yuan, which is a middle income in Wuhan, ye Qing suffered from kidney disease syndrome in 2008, unable to work, and later stayed at home, responsible for cooking and picking up his daughter. Xiao Jun is the only source of income for the family. He was frugal, but generous to his daughter, and every day after work, he remembered to bring her some plums, nuts and apples that she loved to eat.

November 3, 2019 is the daughter's eighteenth birthday, the daughter wants a pair of Apple Bluetooth headphones, some expensive, about a thousand yuan, the daughter secretly said to her mother. Xiao Jun hesitated and bought it for his daughter. Afraid that his daughter would lose her headphones, he bought another sleeve for the headphones. He was a very attentive man. Even after the infection, he was afraid that his family would catch a cold, so he paid an extra five hundred yuan for electricity and asked his wife to turn on the electric heater.

After Xiao Jun's death, Ye Qing learned from his brother that ByteDance donated 200 million yuan to the Red Cross Foundation of China to set up a medical fund, and the doctors infected in the frontline of the fight against the epidemic would receive up to 1 million yuan of relief if they had great contributions or contributions. She tried to apply. The last proof was issued on February 16, she had to go to the public security bureau to cancel Xiao Jun's hukou, the public security bureau stamped, got the certificate, she cried. The money arrived the next afternoon, 1 million, she planned to buy a cemetery for Xiao Jun, and the rest was left to her daughter, who will take the college entrance examination this year.

Ye Qing still remembers the summer of 1999. She came to Wuhan from a rural area more than 60 kilometers away in Wuhan for the third year. She met Xiao Jun for the first time.

That day, it was very hot, and Xiao Jun bought drinks for her and her mother. Mom was not used to the big city, and was too frightened by the traffic to cross the road, and he kindly escorted them home. Later, when they met, he bought her good food, looked at her, and drank only some water himself. At that time, she decided to marry him.

They got married in April 2000. They had a daughter in November 2001. On February 8, 2020, he left her forever.
