Wu You rides an electric bicycle to deliver medicine to those who ask for help. Profile picture
"Bang bang bang", the door is not open, and a hand is held out of the window next to it.
Wu You handed the bread, cake, box lunch, and mask to his hand one by one. Until leaving, the door never opened. Looking through the window at the ceiling, Wu Yu judged that it should be a bathroom.
This day is the first day of the Chinese New Year, and it is the first day of the medicine delivered by Wu You, a young man in Wuhan after 90. Since this day, he has traveled through the streets of Wuhan's three towns every day with an electric bicycle and a mobile phone, delivering much-needed medicines and supplies to those who ask for help.
The helper was a father, living alone with a 3-year-old child, who, suspected of contracting COVID-19, isolated himself in the bathroom and kitchen, cooked in the kitchen, and handed it to the child through the crack in the door. When wu you asked for help, the medicine and food in the family had almost run out...
From January 25 until The "unsealing" of Wuhan, Wu You has ridden thousands of kilometers and helped more than 700 strangers survive the most difficult times.
"Since they are all on the road, send them first!"
Narrow alleys, signboards, cobweb-like wires stretching everywhere... Wu You's home is on Jianghan Road in Hankou, which is full of fireworks.
Wu You's identity is a trainee teacher at a middle school in Wuhan, and he likes to shoot videos and play rap on weekdays. When the epidemic struck, the Passage from Han was closed, and the calm rhythm of life was suddenly chaotic.
Epidemic prevention materials are in short supply, and masks are sold out. As a cat owner, Wu You's 500 medical surgical masks for allergies have become a hot commodity. "Even if a person has 10,000 masks, he can only save one person, and it is useless to hoard so many masks, so let's give a point to those who need it." Grandpa was a veteran, and a sentence woke up Wu You.
Wu You's mobility is very strong, and he will do it when he says it will be done. On the first day of the Chinese New Year, Wu You came to the door of the community to distribute his own masks, and in the process, he found that many empty nesters suffered from chronic diseases, because the epidemic faced the dilemma of lack of medical treatment and medicine.
It was at that time that the parent of a student he knew asked him for help with some masks and medicines. Wu Yousuo sent a message on Weibo and the circle of friends: "I know that there are masks and medicines in a place in Hankou, and I can ride to Jiang'an District, Jianghan District, and Qiaokou District." People in the field, there are elderly people at home, I can help, no charge. ”
Wu You's original idea was to take a ride, and most of the more than 300 fans on Weibo were friends and relatives. Unexpectedly, more than 1,000 requests for help were poured out at once, and they were all strangers.
Since the words have been spoken, we must try to do them. Wu You called his post-00 student Huang Xinyuan, and the two bought medicines together and then sent them separately. There is a lot of help information, they selected eight or nine households that are more urgent and not too far away, went out from 2 p.m., and when they returned home after delivering the medicine, it was more than 10 p.m.
Wu You remembers that the first recipient was a Lanzhou native stranded in Wuhan, isolated at the hotel, already experiencing breathlessness and in urgent need of medicines and protective equipment. Wu You sent him 20 masks, a pack of Lianhua Qing plague granules, food, socks and other daily necessities.
On the way to deliver the medicine, the two really felt scared. After all, it is to send medicine to patients, and the recipients are likely to be new crown pneumonia patients, which is very risky.
"Since they are all on the road, send them first!" The two cheered each other up, "We are not very noble, but those requests for help cannot be refused." Wu You said.
More and more people are asking for help. Wu You made a decision, and the medicine continued to be delivered until the epidemic situation improved. He and Huang Xinyuan roughly divided the work, one to the east and one to the west. The money to buy medicine Wu You first cushioned, free to send, the old and young are preferred.
On January 27, the third day of delivering the medicine, Wu You received an urgent request for help.
At more than 10 o'clock in the evening, it was raining outside, Wu Yougang lay down to rest, he received a phone call, saying that his uncle and aunt in Wuhan were isolated at home, his uncle had breathing difficulties, there was no medicine at home, his relatives were not around, and he was extremely anxious.
Wu You put on a raincoat and went out, and before leaving, he also brought a box of oranges - the vitamin C that the other party needs is not available for the time being, which may be useful. It is a new community 10 kilometers away, there is no positioning on the map, you can only find it according to the approximate location and description, it is difficult to get to the community, and you can't find a specific building.
In a hurry, Wu You began to shout one building after another in the rain, and when he shouted to the sixth building, he finally had a response. The old man got the medicine and thanked him with excitement, his voice weeping.
Three days later, Wu You got the news that the old man had been hospitalized through the community and the situation was improving. The netizen who asked for help thanked him profusely, saying that the patient took medicine at the most critical time and bought time for treatment.
"From that moment on, I realized that I might be saving people." Wu You said.
"Continue to send today, send when it rains." We are retrograde in the light. ”
In the beginning, drugs were in short supply and many people needed them. Wu You cut open the medicine one by one, or disassembled a box into 4 plates to meet the needs of more people.
By mid-February, more peers began to join, and a team was gradually formed around Wu You — someone was responsible for online information verification, someone delivered medicine, and the distribution area covered the whole city of Wuhan. Wu You also set up a WeChat group of 250 people, including psychological counselors, doctors, and patients, and realized online consultation or sharing of healing experience in the group. There is also a mapping software engineer who specializes in planning daily drug delivery routes for them...
At the same time, his Weibo followers exceeded 1 million, and donations from all walks of life followed: the volunteer team in Sichuan sent key drugs and 4 tons of vegetables; a group of writers in Beijing sent protective clothing and alcohol; international students overseas sent masks...
Things got bigger, and the voices of doubt came. Some people say that he "makes a show", some people say that he is difficult to make a fortune in the country, Wu You is not willing to explain too much, only buried his head in work.
In the end, the regulatory authorities gave the conclusion: Wu You had no problem, "the only point is that there is no medical qualification, can not sell drugs, but the donor has medical qualifications."
After this incident, Wu You's work became more standardized. He and the donor agreed that all medications would be distributed free of charge as long as the person seeking help had a confirmed medical record or prescription.
Coming out of the public security bureau, it was raining, and Wu You sent a microblog: "Continue to send today, send it when it rains." We are retrograde in the light. ”
Wu You often uses vlogs to record his own journey to deliver medicines. Most of the shots are night, dim street lights, empty streets, the camera shakes, accompanied by the sound of the whistling wind, he talks about the work arrangement outside the camera...
Weibo and circle of friends record his daily whereabouts. Wuhu Lake in Hankou, Fushan in Hanyang, and Paper Mill in Wuchang,the most remote parts of wuhan's three towns—he ran to them. I often go home late, sometimes at three or four o'clock in the morning.
The farthest delivery of the medicine was to a remote medical isolation point on the border between Wuhan and Huanggang, and the round trip was nearly 90 kilometers. The maximum distance specified by Wu You is 35 kilometers – the maximum distance of his electric car in a fully charged state. On February 11, he decided to make a exception. The reason was that a helper sent 7 requests for help in a row: her family was isolated in a different location, she herself began to have a fever, and she had been out of medicine for two days.
Before leaving, Wu You and the online volunteers planned the delivery route, from Jianghan District to Wuchang District to Qingshan District, delivering medicines to 9 helpers in order, and finally arrived at the isolation point of this helper. However, the actual riding distance is much more. When the medicine was finally delivered to the helper, it was more than 11 o'clock in the evening. By the time Wu You returned home, it was already more than 4 a.m. The journey took 15 hours.
Wu You once sent a Weibo: "Treat the world gently, and hope that the world will also treat me gently." I didn't think that this microblog would soon be "fulfilled".
At the beginning of February, Wu You's grandmother suddenly suffered a cerebral hemorrhage, and during the special period, doctors were on the front line of the fight against the epidemic and could not be treated. In a hurry, he posted a help post on Weibo, and soon got more than 10,000 forwards, and with everyone's help, Grandma was injected at Nanjing Road Central Hospital and her condition stabilized.
At the end of February, Grandma's condition worsened again, and with the help of everyone's relay, Grandma underwent surgery at Puren Hospital, and her condition gradually improved.
"More help, more care. Not just when a disaster strikes, but also after a disaster has passed. ”
At the end of March, Wuhan Express began to resume work in an all-round way, buses and subways were gradually opened, and there were fewer and fewer people asking for help, and most of the sporadic requests for help were in remote areas.
Wu You said that for more than two months, while helping others, he also had a lot of unexpected gains, "Usually rare opportunities to carefully look at the city and the people in the city." ”
A nail shop owner provided him with a room for storing supplies; an electric car owner sent him a brand new electric car; a pregnant woman he helped send him a picture of the child after giving birth; and many Wuhan citizens brought him snacks and flowers...
For more than two months, he received countless "thank you" and the likes of millions of netizens.
Whenever these times came, Wu Yu felt that all the exhaustion and doubts were worth it. The only thing that made him feel guilty was the helpers who had been missed and missed in the initial hectics. "More help, more care. Not just when a disaster strikes, but also after a disaster has passed. He wrote on Weibo.
Despite the hardships along the way, interesting things will happen on the way. An old man regarded him as a master of Mo and said to him, "The young man will take me for 10 yuan to take me a foot!" Wu Youle said, "No money, I'll take you there." The old man danced happily, gave a thumbs up and said, "Come on Wuhan!" ”
There are more than ten cross-river bridges in Wuhan, and he has run over each bridge for more than two months. The favorite is the Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge, which is regarded as a landmark in Wuhan. When he grew up by the river, he liked to walk on the bridge, blow the river wind, listen to the whistle, and think about his heart.
Wu You also has a deeper understanding of his hometown: "In this heroic city, everyone has the genes of a hero..."
