"It is false to say that I am not afraid, but it seems that it is useless to be afraid, so I have to let myself calm down first, do a good job in front of me, take care of the two dolls, and let her work with peace of mind on the front line, which is the greatest support for her." This passage in the diary of Guo Weijun, a 58th Chinese language teacher in Lanzhou, will make Du Wenzhong, deputy director of the school's high-level department, unconsciously sour whenever he sees it.
Guo Weijun's wife, Zhao Yan, is a nurse at Lanzhou Pulmonary Hospital, and as soon as she went to work on the morning of October 19, she received a notice from the hospital to enter the negative pressure ward to start the nursing work of new crown patients, and she is still fighting in the frontline.
His beloved wife once again rushed to the front line of the fight against the epidemic, Guo Weijun is not only responsible for taking care of the elderly and two dolls, but also the strongest backing of the frontline of the fight against the epidemic; at the same time, he must conscientiously prepare lessons, carry out dingtalk live broadcast, correct homework, and supervise early reading and afternoon reading, statistical nucleic acid testing, and hold theme class meetings.
Colleague Tan Jianglong said that Teacher Guo's lover works in the new crown pneumonia designated treatment hospital, is the forefront of the fight against the epidemic, the hardest, but also the most dangerous, often a ward less than 20 days, more than 1 month, with a baby cooking has become a compulsory course for Teacher Guo, the younger son only went to kindergarten, naughty, often noisy with the computer to watch cartoons, but also let the father play, Teacher Guo comforted his son and continued to take online classes, which has become the norm. "What I admire about Teacher Guo is his orderliness in the midst of hecticism and the self-discipline of life. The other day he sent a video asking me if I would make braised pork? I thought that he was going to send me braised pork, and he was secretly moved by the thought of this, and as a result, he came to me to 'learn the scriptures'. I think he found the wrong place, braised pork I will only eat and not do, but Mr. Guo in such a busy period of baby and online teaching is still thinking about developing dishes, the love of life can be seen. Chen Jianglong said.
Guo Weijun wrote in his diary: On the morning of the 19th, he received a call from his lover saying that he was going to enter the ward. Suddenly, I knew, it meant she couldn't go home for at least another month. But I was also calm inside, telling her to pay attention to safety and not to think about anything else, because I was ready for class...
Since the outbreak of the epidemic in 2020, our family has experienced this situation many times. But it is false to say that she is not afraid, but it seems that it is useless to be afraid, so I have to let myself calm down first, do a good job in front of me, take care of the two dolls, and let her work with peace of mind on the front line, which is the greatest support for her.
At noon dinner, I told the girl that I would not see my mother for another month, and the girl did not say anything on her mouth, but I knew from the expression that she was in a bad mood... In the first few days, the little baby didn't seem to have any reaction, and he had a lot of fun every day; but when I and the girl started to take online classes, he would cry and shout for his mother when he was playing alone, and he would run over and pull me to play with him...
Recently, I always slept late, waiting to sit in front of the computer, it was more than eleven o'clock, the next class, the students' homework and the students who did not submit homework, the constant troubles caused by the big and small troublemakers at home, three meals a day, the epidemic situation... When the epidemic spreads again, I know that there are many people who can't take care of themselves, their families and children, those who are fighting in the frontline, brave street community volunteers, traffic police, etc. Whenever I think of this, the pressure and busyness of the moment seems to be nothing.
I have always felt that many things happen so naturally, and then we ignore them, and even some dissatisfaction and complaints arise! But what we ignore, many times, is precisely the warmest. Therefore, for life, for ourselves, for the people and things around us, we still have to look at it a few times, think more, let ourselves calm down, and pass on the warmth, after all, warmth is the most worth pursuing.
Finally, salute to the "you" who fought in the battle against COVID-19! The whole family is looking forward to the epidemic coming soon, and looking forward to your early return home!
Guo Weijun's daughter Guo Yuexin wrote in her diary: Mom, are you okay in the hospital? My father and brother and I miss you very much, and we all hope that you will go home safely, and we also hope that the epidemic will end soon and all the medical staff will return safely. I'm at home worried about you, afraid of your accident, because it's a life-and-death battle. Since the epidemic spread to Lanzhou, we have all been afraid, and it is the protection of your medical staff, police and many workers that has brought the rampant new crown pneumonia virus under control. Thank you, Mom!
