Border City Battle "Epidemic": Pause button at seven o'clock at night

At 7 p.m. on November 4, it was an ordinary anti-epidemic moment in the Sino-Russian border city of Heihe.

If we press the pause button of time at this moment, we will find that this border city where the temperature drops to minus 1 degree Celsius, and there are heart-warming pictures everywhere.

From the sealing and control community to the transfer site, and then to the "FireEye" mobile laboratory, in the face of this round of epidemic "big test" with more than 200 local confirmed cases, one by one, the figures who insisted on performing their duties and responsibilities built a strong fortress on the front line of the fight against the epidemic.

In the story of the "epidemic" of the border city war, these people have a common name: communists.

The appearance of a party member

At 7 p.m. on the 4th, in Heihe, which was minus 1 degree Celsius, a light was lit in the Fulong Community Office of the Xixing Street Office in Aihui District.

"I just received a notice that there were confirmed cases living in the jurisdiction, and the people in the unit where the confirmed cases lived had to be quarantined and had just been transferred away." To help transport the 29 quarantined people away, Suo Peng, deputy director of the Fulong Community Neighborhood Committee, hurried back to the unit, and before he could eat, the mobile phone message prompt sounded from time to time urged him to continue to work.

"For me, the ringtone of the phone is the stormtrooper." Suo Peng said.

They are the ones who can't eat, go home, and sleep on time; they are the ones who move at the behest of orders and charge ahead.

In order to guard the first threshold of epidemic prevention and control, Suo Peng, like other community workers, threw himself into the battle; as a communist party member with more than ten years of party experience, Suo Peng took the initiative to provoke various urgent, difficult, and dangerous jobs.

"Busy with circulation, transfer, and sometimes help other colleagues to make reports." Now the manpower is tight, and it is a little more to do. Suo Peng said.

It doesn't matter if the bitter points are tired, Suo Peng is most worried about a pair of twin children who are more than two years old. "My lover works at the Heihe Intermediate People's Court, and she also participates in the duty bayonet during the day, and the child can only be sent to the elderly to take care of her."

"For me, playing a pioneering and exemplary role in the frontline of the fight against the epidemic is to protect every resident, implement every circulation push information, and send every material." Suo Peng said.

Practicing the original intention with actions is exactly what thousands of party members on the front line of the fight against the epidemic look like.

The war against the "epidemic" does not retreat

Almost at the same time, putting on protective clothing, pulling the car door and getting into the car, He Chen began a new round of anti-epidemic charge. On this shift, he would work until 7 a.m. on the 5th.

Born in 1982, He Chen is a staff member of the Vehicle Management Unit of the Forest Fire Protection Professional Brigade in Aihui District, Heihe City, and a member of the party member commando team of the unit's provisional party branch.

At the beginning of this round of the epidemic, he was responsible for the transfer of close contacts. As of the 5th, He Chen has transported more than 100 close contacts.

"Hey, I'm at the door of the unit, go downstairs, I'll take you to the quarantine point." At 3 a.m., He Chen dialed another phone.

This time, He Chen wanted to transport a girl in her early 20s. From her tone, He Chen heard fear and uneasiness. "Some of the close contacts may be very nervous, and we will talk to them at this time to let them relax and reduce psychological stress." He Chen said.

When the epidemic broke out in Heihe at the end of 2020, He Chen participated in the transfer of quarantined personnel. Transporting quarantined personnel, He Chen is already a skilled hand.

"To be honest, I was a little scared at first, but now I'm used to it." He Chen said that as a party member, if you don't go up at this time, what time are you waiting for?

When he left home a few days ago to carry out the anti-epidemic task, He Chen's 6-month-old daughter was just able to murmur "Daddy" sound. He Chen very much wants to accompany his daughter, but he understands more what "home country" means to everyone who sticks to the front line.

Due to the need to often look to the left and right sides of driving, He Chen's ears, which he had been wearing a mask for a long time, had worn out the skin. "If the epidemic does not retreat, we cannot retreat. The bitter points are tired, all for the final victory. He Chen said.

Great sacrifice

At 7 p.m. on the 4th, the Yinjian Jianguo Hotel in Heihe City was a busy scene.

For Yang Jing, a nurse at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University who is fighting in the nucleic acid testing laboratory of the "FireEye" mobile cabin, this is the "evening peak" of sample delivery, and it is a moment that cannot be relaxed.

After the confirmed cases were found in Heihe City on October 27, Yang Jing signed up for the war for the first time. After landing in Heihe on the morning of the 28th, her time began to be calculated in minutes and seconds - after arriving at the station hotel on the same day, she divided the peripheral environment of the mobile laboratory and formulated the resident infection control requirements; at 4 p.m., she led the nursing team of the Second Hospital of Harbin Medical University to start receiving samples.

"Being busy until two or three o'clock in the morning is the norm. During the day, it is not idle, and it is necessary to arrange nursing team work, supervise and control work, and coordinate the docking of samples. ”

The "epidemic" line charge is Yang Jing's mission. As early as the outbreak of the epidemic in Wuhan, she took the initiative to sign up to go to Wuhan, and submitted an application to join the party when she landed in Wuhan.

After more than a year of organizational training, she became a reserve party member in May this year. "I still remember writing in the application for joining the party at that time: When the war 'epidemic' started, a strong sense of mission surged in my heart, and with 10 years of experience in the infection department, I felt that rushing to the front line was my duty and responsibility, the country cultivated me, the country needed me, I must go forward!"

Because she is dressed in white, she has a mission, and she also has a sense of guilt for her 9-year-old son. "Because of the sense of professional mission, I must do this, and I also want to set an example for my children through my own front-line action to fight the 'epidemic'."

In the gap between the fight against the epidemic in Heihe, in her light sleep dreams, she sometimes dreams of her son who misses day and night.

"Wake up, or move forward." Yang Jing said.

Sometimes, behind ordinary work, there is also a great sacrifice.
