"I want to anonymously like a post-00 college student volunteer in my community..." On August 10, the Chutian Metropolis Daily Jimu News Hotline received a line from readers, wanting to ask reporters to report on the deeds of Zhou Kevin, a post-00s volunteer in the community, and give him some encouragement and support at the same time.
The 20-year-old Zhou Kaiwen is a resident of the Forehead Bay community in Wuhan's Dongxihu District, who just went to college this year, but is already a "veteran" on the battlefield of the fight against the epidemic. In March 2020, when Kevin Zhou was still preparing for the college entrance examination, in order to share the burden of the community, he volunteered in the community to distribute supplies to residents. In recent days, Wuhan has carried out nucleic acid testing for the whole people, and Zhou Kaiwen has taken the initiative to return to the community as a volunteer to help enter nucleic acid collection information and maintain on-site order.
"I'll go to the nucleic acid testing site to maintain order in a moment." On the morning of August 10, when the reporter contacted Kevin last week, he was ready to go to the community nucleic acid testing point to support. He had just finished a three-day mission to assist the community with nucleic acid testing.
Working an average of ten hours a day against high temperatures
In the past two days, autumn rains have fallen in Wuhan, and the high temperature weather has been temporarily alleviated. But in the past few days, the temperature in Wuhan has exceeded 35 ° C every day, and Zhou Kevin and other volunteers have braved the high temperature to carry out their tasks at the nucleic acid testing point. The working hours are more than 10 hours a day.
"Please wear a mask, show your health code, and register your personal information." Kevin Zhou walked through the middle of the line with a horn, sweat dripping from his hair from time to time. At the scene, there were residents who spontaneously moved ice cubes one after another, and when they saw the ice cubes transported, Zhou Kevin immediately got up and put the ice cubes next to the medical staff. The hot weather made the ice cubes that cooled off quickly melt, and Kevin Zhou quickly picked up a broom to sweep the water aside, and then moved the new ice cubes again.
In addition to maintaining order and transporting materials, Kevin Zhou is also responsible for the entry of nucleic acid collection information on the spot. Due to the tight time, on the first day of nucleic acid testing, there is no machine on the spot to automatically read the ID card information, and Zhou Kevin can only manually enter the ID number of the resident. "14 numbers is not much, but at the end of the day it is all spent." Kevin Zhou said that manual typing is slower, and staring at the computer screen for several hours in a row is indeed a challenge.
"I'm not alone in the fight"
"The fan on site was broken, but fortunately some residents brought out their own fans for us to use." Zhou Kevin said that he is not alone in the battle, there are community workers who work overtime to shout and break their throats, volunteers sweating under the hot sun, enthusiastic people who send ice cubes and fans, and ordinary citizens who cooperate with nucleic acid testing in an orderly manner.
When talking about why he insisted on volunteer work, Zhou Kaiwen said, "Many people are not afraid of hardships to come to Wuhan, I was born in Wuhan and grew up in Wuhan, what is the reason to sit at home?" "Another reason is that Kevin Chow's mother is also a community worker, running on the front line of the fight against the epidemic every day, and at the height of the epidemic, Kevin Chow rarely saw her mother." Every day, she came out early and returned late, going door to door to check her temperature, carry out epidemic prevention propaganda, and distribute supplies. He told reporters that his mother was his role model.
In the interview, Kevin Zhou recalled an incident in the community during the epidemic last year, distributing supplies to residents in the community. At that time, there was a grandmother who lived alone in the delivery range that he was responsible for, and every time he went to deliver food, the grandmother would pull Kevin Zhou to chat. Because of a cold and fever, Grandma was sent to the hospital for isolation treatment, during which Time Grandma borrowed the nurse's mobile phone and Kevin Zhou's video.
"Grandma said she wanted to go home and missed me, and she was very scared, and my tears were already swirling in my eyes, and my heart was full of mixed feelings." Zhou Kevin said that he did not expect that at this time, his grandmother chose to call him, and what he did could be said to be insignificant, but he gradually became a very important person to the other party, which was also one of the motivations for him to participate in many anti-epidemic volunteer activities.
"Like Kevin Chow, there are many dedicated volunteers in the community like him." Yang Qiong, secretary of the Forehead Bay community, said that the community is not enough manpower, and the sinking party members and resident volunteers are "one hundred responses".
