The great anti-epidemic spirit is in line with the characteristic endowments and cultural genes of the Chinese nation that have been formed for a long time, is the inheritance and development of the spirit of patriotism, collectivism and socialism, and is a vivid interpretation of the Chinese spirit, enriching the connotation of the national spirit and the spirit of the times. We must vigorously carry forward the great anti-epidemic spirit in the whole society and transform it into a powerful force for comprehensively building a modern socialist country and realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
——Excerpted from General Secretary Xi Jinping's speech at the National Commendation Conference for Fighting COVID-19
The new crown pneumonia epidemic is a major public health emergency with the fastest transmission speed, the widest scope of infection and the greatest difficulty in prevention and control in China since the founding of New China, and it is also the most serious infectious disease pandemic in the world in the past century.
The Party Central Committee has taken epidemic prevention and control as a top priority. General Secretary Xi Jinping personally commanded and personally deployed, insisted on putting people's life safety and physical health first, and put forward the general requirements of firm confidence, mutual assistance, scientific prevention and control, and precise policy.
After arduous efforts, China has spent more than 1 month to initially curb the momentum of the spread of the epidemic, used about 2 months to control the daily new cases in the mainland within single digits, and used about 3 months to achieve decisive results in the defense war in Wuhan and Hubei, and then successively fought several local cluster epidemic annihilation battles, and achieved major strategic results in the national anti-epidemic struggle.
On September 8, 2020, General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out at the National Commendation Conference for Fighting the Covid-19 Epidemic: "In this deadly contest against the serious epidemic, the people of Chinese and the Chinese nation have forged the great anti-epidemic spirit of life first, national unity, sacrifice life and forget death, respect for science, and common destiny with the courage to fight and win. ”
Life is supreme
In order to protect people's lives, we can open up anything
The supremacy of life epitomizes the profound tradition of benevolence of the Chinese people and the people-centered value pursuit of the Chinese Communists.
The virus has struck suddenly, the epidemic is menacing, and people's life safety and physical health are facing major threats. The Party Central Committee adheres to the supremacy of the people and the supremacy of life, and quickly launches the people's war, the overall war and the obstruction war of epidemic prevention and control.
Pandemics are like big exams. The Party Central Committee and the State Council have made overall plans for epidemic prevention and control and medical treatment, adopted the most comprehensive and thorough prevention and control measures, adopted unprecedented large-scale isolation measures, and mobilized national resources to carry out large-scale medical treatment as never before.
Establish a central leading group for epidemic response to strengthen unified leadership and command over epidemic prevention and control throughout the country. A central steering group was sent to Wuhan to guide Hubei Province and Wuhan City to strengthen epidemic prevention and control work. The State Council has established a joint prevention and control mechanism, played a coordinating role, strengthened the scheduling of medical personnel and medical supplies, and adjusted prevention and control strategies and key tasks accordingly according to the development and changes of the epidemic. Establish a strict epidemic release system, and release epidemic information in accordance with the law, in a timely, open and transparent manner.
Life is heavier than Tarzan. Wuhan and Hubei are the main battlefields in the fight against the epidemic. It took only more than 10 days to build Huoshenshan Hospital and Leishenshan Hospital, rebuild 16 square cabin hospitals on a large scale, mobilize 346 national medical teams, more than 40,000 medical personnel, and the most urgently needed resources and the most advanced equipment to help, and carry out unprecedented life rescue with the strength of the whole country. Adhere to the integration of traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine, go all out to treat every patient, and the cost of treatment is borne by the state.
Party committees and governments at all levels, departments and units have moved in all aspects, and rural areas, communities, enterprises, medical and health institutions, scientific research institutions, schools, and military barracks throughout the country have all taken up their seats. The country has rapidly formed a strategic layout of unified command, comprehensive deployment, and three-dimensional prevention and control, which has effectively curbed the large-scale spread of the epidemic and protected people's life safety and physical health to the greatest extent.
The whole nation is united
More than 1.4 billion Chinese people breathe together, share a common destiny, shoulder to shoulder, heart to heart, painting a picture of an era when unity is strength
The unity of the whole country epitomizes the great unity of the Chinese and the people as one heart and one mind, sharing weal and woe.
Under the strong leadership of the Cpc Central Committee, the Chinese people are in the same boat and united in will, carry forward the spirit of difficulties on one side and support from all sides, and build a solid defense line for epidemic prevention and control.
In the face of the raging epidemic, the broad masses of the people are not afraid of the battle of life and death, do not shrink back from all difficulties and dangers, or go to the danger, or silently stick to it, and contribute to the prevention and control of the epidemic in various ways. More than 1.4 billion Chinese people breathe together, share a common destiny, shoulder to shoulder, heart to heart, painting a picture of the era when unity is strength!
"Insisting on not going out at home, I contribute to epidemic prevention." At the most severe time of the epidemic, Wuhan citizens encouraged each other in the circle of friends. The people of Wuhan and Hubei have a general understanding of the overall situation, take the overall situation into consideration, consciously obey the needs of the overall situation of epidemic prevention and control, take the initiative to participate in the fight against the epidemic, and have won the strategic initiative to block the spread of the epidemic and fight the epidemic nationwide, and have made great sacrifices and major contributions.
All walks of life shouldered the responsibility of epidemic prevention and control, state-owned enterprises and public hospitals bravely shouldered heavy burdens, more than 4.6 million grass-roots party organizations charged into the front, more than 4 million community workers were on duty day and night in 650,000 urban and rural communities across the country, all kinds of private enterprises, private hospitals, charities, nursing homes, welfare homes, etc. actively contributed, the majority of party members and cadres took the lead in fighting hard, the commanders and fighters of the People's Liberation Army, officers and men of the armed police force, and public security police bravely took the lead, the vast number of scientific research personnel worked hard to tackle key problems, and millions of couriers braved the epidemic. 1.8 million sanitation workers get up early and go dark, journalists go deep into the front line, thousands of volunteers and ordinary people silently dedicate...
Give up life and forget death
Chinese people knew that there were tigers in the mountains and were partial to the feats of the tigers, and wrote a magnificent chapter that could be sung and wept, and the intestines were swept away
Sacrificing one's life and forgetting one's death epitomizes the tenacious will of the Chinese people to dare to overcome all difficulties and not be overwhelmed by any difficulties.
In the face of the epidemic, Chinese people were not intimidated, but used the feat of knowing that there were tigers in the mountains and biased towards the tiger mountain line to write a magnificent chapter that could be sung and wept, and the intestines were swept away! The Chinese nation has been able to continue to grow and develop through countless disasters, never because of a savior, but because thousands of ordinary people stepped forward and moved forward generously before the catastrophe!
In times of crisis, I saw heroes everywhere. The vast number of medical personnel dressed in white armor, marching retrograde, sacrificing their lives and forgetting death to save lives. They are the most beautiful angels, the loveliest people of the new era!
"When the country is in crisis, the doctor is the warrior. It is better to bear oneself than the people. Zhang Boli, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, rushed to Wuhan at the age of 71 to formulate a traditional Chinese medicine treatment plan for patients.
"I have to run faster to get more patients back from the virus." Zhang Dingyu, then president of Wuhan Jinyintan Hospital, disregarded his physical pain and rushed forward.
"You protected us during SARS in 2003, and today it's our turn to protect you." A large number of post-90s and post-00s medical staff gave up the opportunity to reunite with their families during the Spring Festival and threw themselves into the frontline of the fight against the epidemic in Wuhan and Hubei.
In the Defense War of Wuhan and Hubei Province, 540,000 medical personnel from Hubei Province and Wuhan City charged ahead, and more than 40,000 military and local medical personnel across the country resolutely rushed to the rescue. On the frontline of the national fight against the epidemic, millions of medical workers have stuck to their posts and raced against the virus. With their sincerity to the people and their respect for life, they raced against the clock and fought continuously, saving one dying life after another, and building a great wall of steel to resist the virus with their flesh and blood.
Respect science
Follow the scientific laws throughout the whole process of decision-making and command, patient treatment, technical research, and social governance
Respecting science epitomizes the practical character of Chinese people seeking truth and pragmatism, pioneering and innovating.
In the face of the unprecedented unknown new crown virus, the Party Central Committee upholds the scientific spirit and scientific attitude, and runs the scientific law through the whole process of decision-making and command, patient treatment, technical research, and social governance.
In the absence of specific drugs, the implementation of the combination of traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine, has launched eight versions of the national new crown pneumonia diagnosis and treatment plan, screening out the "three drugs and three parties" and other clinically effective traditional Chinese medicine Western medicine and treatment methods, which have been used by many countries.
Implement scientific research emergency research. The first time to develop the nucleic acid detection kit, the introduction of a number of high sensitivity, easy to operate detection equipment and reagents. The development of a new coronavirus vaccine with five technical routes. At present, 5 technical routes have achieved full coverage of clinical trials, 4 vaccines have been approved for conditional marketing, and 3 vaccines have been approved for emergency use.
According to the epidemic situation, the joint prevention and control mechanism of the State Council has successively launched 8 versions of the national covid-19 epidemic prevention and control plan. Make full use of new technologies such as big data and artificial intelligence to conduct research and judgment on the trend of the epidemic. Epidemiological investigations are conducted in an effort to locate every infected person, exhaustively trace close contacts and isolate them. With the authorization of individual residents, promote personal health codes and communication big data itinerary cards as vouchers for travel, resumption of work and school, daily life and access to public places, and carry out control and classification and disposal according to the results of inquiries, so as to achieve accurate prevention and control of partitioning and grading.
Whether it is rushing to build a square cabin hospital, or developing vaccines on multiple technical routes; whether it is carrying out large-scale nucleic acid testing, big data tracking and traceability and health code identification, or differentiated prevention and control at different levels and orderly promotion of the resumption of work and production, it is a respect and promotion of the scientific spirit and provides strong scientific and technological support for defeating the epidemic.
Fate is shared
It has fully demonstrated the image of a big country that emphasizes faith, attaches importance to righteousness, promotes justice, and abides by morality
The common destiny epitomizes the moral responsibility of Chinese people to help each other and love peace.
The avenue is not lonely, and great love has no boundaries. Adhering to the concept of "one in the world", China is not only responsible for the safety and health of Chinese people, but also for global public utilities. China has launched the emergency humanitarian action with the most concentrated assistance time and the widest scope since the founding of New China, injecting a steady stream of impetus into the prevention and control of the global epidemic, fully demonstrating the image of a big country that emphasizes faith, cherishes righteousness, promotes justice and abides by morality, and vividly interprets the responsibility of a big country that seeks common ground for the world and promotes the construction of a community with a shared future for mankind.
During the epidemic prevention and control period, China actively fulfilled its international obligations in an open, transparent and responsible manner. The first time to inform the World Health Organization, relevant countries and regions of the initiative to inform the epidemic information, the first time to release the new crown virus gene sequence and other information, the first time to publish the diagnosis and treatment plan and prevention and control plan, without reservation with all parties to share the experience of prevention and control and treatment.
The mountains and rivers are exotic, and the wind and moon are the same day. Our people will never forget the support and assistance given by the international community during the most difficult time in the fight against the epidemic. While its own epidemic prevention and control is still under great pressure, China has done its best to provide assistance to the international community.
Since the normalization of epidemic prevention and control, China has grasped the prevention and control of the epidemic on the one hand and economic development on the other, and steadily promoted the resumption of work and production. In 2020, China's GDP increased by 2.3% year-on-year. China has become the only major economy in the world to achieve positive economic growth, with decisive achievements in the three major battles, major progress in scientific and technological innovation, important breakthroughs in reform and opening up, and strong guarantees for people's livelihood.
The major strategic achievements in the fight against the new crown pneumonia epidemic have fully demonstrated the remarkable advantages of the leadership of the Communist Party of China and China's socialist system, fully demonstrated the great strength of the Chinese people and the Chinese nation, fully demonstrated the profound foundation of Chinese civilization, fully demonstrated the conscious responsibility of China's responsible major country, greatly enhanced the self-confidence and pride, cohesion and centripetal force of the whole party and the people of all ethnic groups in the country, and will surely inspire us to cut through thorns and forge ahead courageously on the new journey of the new era.
