"Mom, I'm going to leave for the night shift in a minute!" Liu Yuhang, a nurse in the emergency department of Beijing Shijitan Hospital who rushed to Wuhan' aid, video-called his mother Liu Defen who was far away in Beijing before taking over, and his mother on the other end of the screen
Wearing a white coat and a round hat, although there is a mask to cover it, the care for her daughter still leaks out from the smile lines in the corners of her eyes.
On February 4, Hondo released "When I Grow Up, I Became You!" The article "Fighting the Epidemic" between mother and daughter in Beijing and Han Dynasty has aroused great concern among netizens and readers. On February 6, the reporter deliberately found her daughter Liu Yuhang on the front line in Wuhan to understand her "war epidemic" situation.

Liu Yuhang is 25 years old this year, the youngest member of the team of Beijing Millennium Monument Hospital, but like his predecessors, as long as he stands on the front line, he is also a fearless warrior against the epidemic.
"I'm totally adaptable." Liu Yuhang has been treated in the isolation ward three times so far. She said that at first, she was also a little nervous, because the infected patients were inevitably emotionally anxious or even afraid, and it was a nurse's duty to calm down their emotions, and she was worried that she would not be able to soothe the emotions of patients. However, as the number of patients continued to increase, the initial uneasiness gradually disappeared. "It's good to learn to empathize and compare hearts to hearts, we need to know the root cause of each patient's anxiety and constantly encourage them."

"All actions are directed, and everything that must be done is done." Infusion, hydration, temperature measurement... The procedures are too familiar for an emergency department nurse to be familiar with, ms. Liu said she felt like she had just moved her beijing emergency room to Wuhan.
When it comes to her work, she always downplays it, but her predecessors don't see it that way. "They're really not easy." Many doctors told reporters that in the ward, the work of nurses is often heavier than that of doctors. If you encounter a patient who needs emergency rescue, there is almost no difference in the physical exertion of doctors and nurses, but in the daily care of patients, nurses are the ones who are really on the front line. They also have longer exposure to patients and are at higher risk than doctors. Before these factors, there is also a premise to add, that is, this protective clothing that doubles the physical exertion.
About to go to the night shift, Nurse Liu Yuhang seized the time to talk to her mother. Short conversations are basically reminding each other to do a good job of self-protection. At this time, they are not only a mother and daughter, but also a pair of teachers and students.
Recalling the moment when he received the notice of voluntarily signing up to help Wuhan, Liu Yuhang's choice was almost the same as his mother's choice 17 years ago when he fought against SARS. For the country, they chose "call to come", for the family, they chose "cut first and play later". Nurse Liu Yuhang said that she wanted to be like her mother and become a soldier on the front line.
"I want to say to mom and dad, you must also take care of yourself, especially the mother who is also on the front line, you must protect yourself, dad don't worry about us, be our strong backing, waiting for our mother and daughter to defeat the virus and go home safely." Stepping out of the reporter's camera, the young Liu Yuhang once again rushed to the front line.
