On The day of International Women's Day, as the deputy leader of the intensive care team of the first batch of medical teams in Chongqing, I suddenly received a notice to receive holiday gifts for the female compatriots in the team.

"And the gifts!" I was full of anticipation and joyfully got the beautiful, delicate, sweet chocolate.

A colleague from Xiaogan Central Hospital, who brought the gifts, solemnly said to me, "I must tell you the origin of these gifts!" ”

And then I heard the story —

An uncle in his 50s whose daughter was infected with the virus and hospital 17 years ago when SARS was raging, was eventually restored to health with the full force of medical staff. Now, the new crown pneumonia epidemic has swept in, medical staff across the country have once again charged the battle, these touching deeds have touched this uncle a lot, watching the TV with his daughter's age medical staff in the front line of the fight against the epidemic to overcome many difficulties to save lives, as a father, he can feel the worries of parents.

I heard that the Chongqing medical team lived in a nearby hotel, the uncle could not sit still, although he was not rich, he still took out the ten thousand yuan he had saved, personally came to the hotel, handed it to the staff, and gave thousands of instructions, hoping to use this money to buy some gifts for the girls of the Chongqing medical team, and express his gratitude to the medical staff in Chongqing for supporting Xiaogan. After that, no matter how the staff asked, he refused to tell his name and address, and left silently.

And now, the chocolate I'm holding in my hand is a gift from this uncle. I don't know who he is, I don't know what he looks like, and I don't have the opportunity to say thank you to him, but I can feel the love and warmth he brings us. Holding this special gift, I can't help but think back to the 40 days I received in Xiaogan Central Hospital, just like a wisp of warm winter sun constantly shining into my heart.

I remember the orchard owner who specially brought red strawberries to our Chongqing medical team in winter, but refused to leave his name; I remember the workers of the State Power Company who urgently assembled to renovate the power grid for us in the cold winter and completed it in one day; I remember the security brother who shivered in the wind but still registered for us at the dormitory gate to take our temperature; I remember the chef who chased me every day to ask chongqing people what kind of taste they liked and how the meals needed to be adjusted; remembered in the cold and dry weather. A staff member of Xiaogan Central Hospital gave all the lotion of himself and his sister to our medical staff in Chongqing; I remember the father who stood downstairs of the Chongqing medical team holding his daughter and said loudly to his daughter that they were Chongqing doctors, they came to help us, we want to thank them; I remember the 81-year-old mother-in-law in the ward who was suffering from new crown pneumonia held my hand and cared about when our Chongqing doctors could go home; I remember another mother-in-law with bad legs and feet, every time I checked the room, Insisting on waddling out of the ward on crutches...

For 40 days, in Xiaogan, everyone gave us care, support and help regardless of the return. Some people say that medical staff are the "most beautiful retrogrades", in fact, many ordinary people in various positions, people who give us help and encouragement, are beautiful "retrogrades". In the cold winter day of Xiaogan, I can feel the warm sunshine, and I will continue to spread this ray of sunshine to illuminate more people...
