People's Daily Lanzhou, October 31 (Gao Xiang) "Folks, take your ID card, wear a mask, and hurry to the village committee to do nucleic acid testing" "Don't run outside if you have nothing to do", "Wash your hands frequently, ventilate more, don't gather"... This is the "horseback propaganda team" in Rendoma Village, Zuogadom Township, Gansu Province, which is publicizing the knowledge of epidemic prevention and control to the masses.
Zogadoma Township is the only pure pastoral township in The Cooperative City, with an average altitude of 3,600 meters. The land here is sparsely populated, the herders live scattered, and the information is relatively closed.
"Every winter, herders will move to the winter pasture, and the roads in the pastoral area are covered with wind and snow all year round, making it difficult for vehicles to pass, so we can only ride our horses to every household to preach." Dojita, deputy director of the Rendoma Village Committee, said that in order to pass on the party's policies to the herdsmen in the first place, the local co-heads of households and herdsmen formed a horse team to go to the pastoral area to give a lecture, and the herdsmen affectionately called them the "horseback propaganda team."
During the epidemic prevention and control period, the "Horseback Propaganda Team" traveled day and night through various pastures, using loudspeakers to loop and broadcast Tibetan and Chinese bilingual "Proposal for Epidemic Prevention and Control in Farming and Pastoral Villages" and "Ten Uniforms" for the prevention and control of the new crown pneumonia epidemic in cooperative cities. They use the most primitive means of transportation to make the epidemic prevention and control propaganda have no dead ends, no gaps, and full coverage.
"Thanks to the horseback propaganda team for sending us masks, disinfectants and other protective equipment, these two days I originally planned to take my daughter-in-law to the city to transfer relatives, after listening to their propaganda decided not to go first, wait for the epidemic to pass, at this time we can not add chaos to the government." Herdsman Gonglao said.
