After Wuhan announced its closure at the end of last month, thousands of volunteer drivers became people who eased the traffic dilemma for the city.

According to a report on the website of the New York Times in the United States on February 4, Zhang Lei had a long day, traveling around the city for 12 hours, picking up local residents to buy food, medicine, and hospitals. Almost all of the roads he passed were empty. To control the new coronavirus, Wuhan has been closed, public transportation has been suspended, and private vehicles have been banned from the road.

Zhang Lei, driving a blue and white car, is a rare out-of-towner in Wuhan.

Zhang Lei, 32, is a taxi driver in Wuhan, China. But after the local government announced its closure at the end of last month, he became one of thousands of people who volunteered to help alleviate traffic difficulties.

It is reported that Zhang Lei was wearing light blue protective clothing, masks and goggles while driving. Residents suspected of being infected with the new coronavirus are not allowed to board his car, and those are to be picked up by ambulances. Most of his passengers are poor elderly people who have no children or whose family members are outside Wuhan and unable to return home due to the closure of the city.

“Too poor,” he said, “no one takes care of them.”

The free car is arranged by the community neighborhood committee. Neighborhood committees are often the bridge between residents and local governments. In the current crisis, they are responsible for allocating community resources and helping patients coordinate with hospitals. There are about 1,000 neighborhood committees in Wuhan, and each neighborhood committee has an average of about 11,000 people.

Like other drivers, Zhang Lei does not get paid. He paid for the car by himself, but he believes the government will eventually issue subsidies to compensate.

The report said that many Chinese praised the volunteer drivers for their time and energy to help other citizens.

Zhang Lei said, “Everyone is at home all day, so I may be able to make a contribution to society.”

Zhang Lei said that the job is time-consuming and laborious. Each neighborhood is usually equipped with four drivers, and many residents say it is difficult to get a car. According to reports, some sick elderly people walk for two hours to get to the hospital. Zhang Lei said that the number of times he gets out of the car every day is not necessarily.

Some of the passengers are sick, and driving them in the city is also risky. Nowadays most residents choose to stay indoors as much as possible, the silence envelops this once noisy city, and the sound of ambulance siren or dog bark is occasionally heard.

“Of course we are also worried about being infected,” Zhang Lei said, “the family members are very worried about us, they do not want us to go out.”

The sudden outbreak of pneumonia caused by a new type of coronavirus has changed our lives. This Spring Festival of this year has been extraordinary.

Recently, there are photos of a group of medical personnel taking off their masks on the Internet. As a result of wearing medical equipment for a long time and experiencing overloaded work for many days, many people’s cheeks are allergic and swollen. Adult diapers; To avoid cross-infection, the female nurse cut her beautiful long hair and shaved her head; and the nose bridge was worn out by masks and goggles, which was really tearful and distressed. But deep indentations and tired expressions can’t stop the beauty of the doctor; the firm eyes still transmit the winning light; young children visit the nurses and mothers who haven’t returned home for a few days across the fence; some still The boy in his early 20s changed his clothes and learned to be like his predecessors, “take what I have learned, do my best”, race against time, and grab people with death!

How difficult it is to rejuvenate. Whether facing floods, earthquakes, SARS epidemics, or encountering financial crises or trade frictions, our party has always led the people of the whole country to make unremitting and unremitting efforts to overcome difficulties one after another and create miracles one after another. The Chinese nation, which has been in existence for more than 5,000 years, has experienced countless storms and waves, and is on the brink of extinction. Instead, it is becoming more and more powerful. Why? The answer lies in one mind and one mind. After the epidemic, Beijing ‘s nearly 80-year-old party member and designer of Xiaotangshan Hospital, Huang Xizheng, volunteered to go to Hubei to support construction; nearly 300 medical staff in Hunan embarked on the journey to aid Hubei, and many people wrote the same in the “petition book” Reason: “I’m a Communist” … In the face of sudden challenges, a group of fighters loved the war generously and went forward retroactively to sign up to the front line of the epidemic: “I volunteered to join the medical rescue team” “I have performed a fight The mission of SARS and aid to Africa has passed the test of actual combat. I applied to join the epidemic prevention and control team. “I have been working in the infection department for 10 years and can be competent for the care of patients with respiratory virus infection.” … Giving up time with my loved ones, no Fearing the risk of being infected by the virus, they are fighting on the front line of the epidemic prevention and control, regardless of remuneration, fear of life and death, and no conditions, these busy figures flashing with humanity and fighting on the battlefield against epidemic disease, converge into an all-out attack Invincible Chinese power!

Where there is an epidemic situation, the battlefield is where the sacrifice is. This is common sense. The 84-year-old academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, Zhong Nanshan, went into battle and rushed to the front line of the most dangerous fight against the epidemic; Deng Tiantian, a young nurse in the ICU of the Second People’s Hospital of Yichang, Hubei Province, who had just been married for one year, rushed to Wuhan without regard to his family’s persuasion Jinyintan Hospital, she said: “As a party member, you must rush ahead”; “If you are unfortunate, donate my body to study the virus”, Wuhan “Little Post-95 Nurses” generously promised; Doctors and sons cheered each other through protective glass, yes Father and son, but also comrades in arms … For the patients, “I don’t know who you are, but I know who you are for.” At the moment of crisis, the angel in white became a steel warrior; Behind it is the benevolent healer of the healers, who are holding hands, side by side, building an indestructible line of life.

The dark clouds can’t cover the sun, and the haze will eventually disperse, but the effort will not be disappointed. Who is the most beautiful in this game of battle? Who is the most tired? Combat comrades in the front line, brothers and sisters fighting in the rear! We have reasons to believe that with the strong leadership of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core, with the help of all nations, scientific prevention, and precise policy, we will surely win the battle against epidemic prevention and control.
