Beginning of spring. At this time, Wuhan is still quiet and dignified, but life goes on and the city is running.
Sanitation worker, courier brother, "special car" driver and epidemic prevention volunteer … … When most people are forced to stay at home, they are always on the street and on the road … … They guarantee the normal operation of the city, and they are the guardians of Wuhan.
"Only by properly handling the garbage can we really create a healthy environment for everyone."
Xiong Pengde (sanitation worker) wants to say to his family most: "We must be on the top, for no reason, we just want to eliminate the epidemic as soon as possible."
At 3:30 in the morning, the city is still sleeping soundly. Xiong Pengde got out of bed on time. After a simple wash, Xiong Pengde picked up the cleaning tools and walked to Zhenxing Second Road. This is his most familiar "site", and I can’t count how many times I have to go back and forth on this road every day.
At 4:00, it was still dark, and Xiong Pengde’s work began. "I just swept over and over again, and when the cleaning work was over, I looked up and it was already bright."
This is only part of it. At 7:00, his other cleaning job started again, and he was still familiar with the street. He did it until 6:00 pm. "I can’t do anything else, but I have absolutely no problem cleaning and cleaning, and the garbage must be clean." Speaking of his own job, the 55-year-old man who came to work in Wuhan from Xiaogan eight years ago changed his previous shyness and plain face with a touch of unquestionable confidence.
"My wife is also a sanitation worker. Now, what we want most is to do a good job in street sanitation and bring a good environment to everyone. I always tell my wife that hygiene is so important that we have to be on top. Why not, I just want to eliminate the epidemic quickly. " Speaking a less authentic Mandarin, Xiong Pengde’s tone is firm.
At 1:00 pm, on the second road of Zhenxing, the reporter walked and chatted with Xiong Pengde, and met another sanitation worker — — Huang youjun The director of Changqing Street Environmental Sanitation Management Office in Jianghan District has been working continuously for six hours. After adjusting the mask, he told reporters that now, sanitation workers are not only very tired, but also very dangerous. "The garbage is full of germs. Now is a special period, and everyone will avoid it. If hospitals are the main battlefields of the epidemic, then garbage bins and discarded articles are our main battlefields. Only by properly handling the garbage can we truly create a healthy environment for everyone. "
In a special period, there is no retreat. Since the beginning of the epidemic, Huang Youjun has never returned home. "My wife also works in the community. Neither of us dare to go home. We can only stay in a hotel and leave our children alone at home."
"Worried?" The reporter asked.
"Said don’t worry is false. But everything we are doing now is to tide over the difficulties as soon as possible. At that time, our family can have a hot reunion dinner. " While speaking, the sun shone on Huang Youjun’s face, which was particularly bright.
"No matter how long it takes, we young people swear to advance and retreat with Wuhan."
Hua Yuchen (an epidemic prevention volunteer) wants to say to his family most: "Protecting yourself is also protecting you."
At 12:00, he took off his mask, held a box lunch, and casually sat down in a place where there were few people. After 90, volunteer Hua Yuchen just sent the medical staff to Zhongnan Hospital, and went to the Beihu toll station 20 kilometers away to quickly grab two lunches and get ready for work. She smiled and said that she had done two volunteer "part-time jobs".
"hello! Take your temperature. " Wearing a red volunteer vest, she stood at the intersection with a thermometer and became a member of the volunteer team for epidemic prevention and control. These days, she has been very busy. During the work break, she talked to the reporter about herself: "I am a music teacher at Ganghua Primary School and have been paying attention to the dynamics of the epidemic. On January 23, I saw in my circle of friends that the Qingshan League Committee was recruiting driving volunteers, and I immediately signed up to provide pick-up service for medical staff."
These days, she picked up more than a dozen medical staff and drove back and forth in Qingshan, Wuchang, Hankou and other districts. This is also the first time that Hua Yuchen has been in close contact with medical workers. "To my surprise, many doctors and nurses are younger than me, including ICU nurses and doctors in intensive care units." She said.
What impressed her deeply was that she picked up a head nurse. Hua Yuchen saw her step back three times before getting on the bus, saying words of comfort to her husband, and did not forget to take care of the old people and children at home. Along the way, she constantly coordinated the scheduling of department personnel on the phone, and her voice was hoarse.
"In Wuhan, there are the most ordinary people and the most amazing people." Hua Yuchen said that for volunteers, there is a principle of work that is to help, but not to add chaos, and to go wherever there is a need.
On January 25th, the number of drivers’ volunteers increased. When she heard about the recruitment of volunteers for epidemic prevention and control, she took the initiative to join in and came to Erqi Bridge in Wuhan to become a member of the inspection duty, and cooperated with the traffic police to check the temperature of people passing by.
At this time, the vehicle is slow to pass the inspection, and most drivers are very cooperative. Every time Hua Yuchen measures someone, she will smile and say "the temperature is normal", and many impatient drivers will change their attitudes and nod their thanks to her. "There are still many drivers who will take the initiative to say ‘ You have worked hard ’ Some even throw export hoods and alcohol sprays from the window, telling us to take care, and the scenes reflect the human touch of Wuhan. "
As usual, on February 3, the first thing Hua Yuchen did when she returned home was to disinfect and isolate herself in the room. "Up to now, my parents still don’t know that I go out to be a volunteer every day. I told them to be on duty at work." She went on to say, "I don’t tell them because I’m afraid they’re worried. I will also strictly disinfect and protect myself and protect them."
In Wuhan, many young volunteers have devoted themselves to the front line, which is their confidence in the city. Hua Yuchen is no exception. At the scene of delivering materials, she also met a student’s parents, who never rested and provided logistical support for the supporting medical team. At that time, I was carrying materials with the other party. I heard that another student’s mother was in this hospital ward. Her nose was sour and her eyes were moist instantly: "No matter parents or teachers, we should set an example for our children."
Some children sent her WeChat through their parents’ WeChat, telling her to pay attention to safety. She said: "We are not sensational, we will go directly if necessary. No matter how long it takes, we young people swear to advance and retreat with Wuhan."
"We can run and feel particularly meaningful."
Yuan Shuang (courier brother) wants to say to his family most: "After the cold winter, the warmth will eventually arrive."
At 14:21, the 62nd express order of Wuhan courier Yuan Shuang is about to be completed. When the reporter saw him, he wore a mask and trotted all the way, and the outside of the mask was bulging. "You put the courier at the door." The customer said in the house through the security door that this is the normal state of sending express delivery these days, and many customers don’t want to receive it face to face. Just as Yuan Shuang turned to leave, I didn’t expect the door to open. "Wait a minute, this is for you. You have worked hard these days, so pay attention to protection." Yuan Shuang took it and saw that it was two masks. "What a surprise! Our customers care about us." He smiled.
Wuhan, this city, we meet each other less often, but we can’t live without the kindness and temperature of human nature. In the past few days, he was also pleasantly surprised when he was busy. After every single package was delivered, customers always thanked him. They often handed out medical masks from the crack of the door, brought disinfectant, medical gloves and milk, and some even gave a small bag full of snacks and confession notes … … During this time, these have become very common.
Ordinary people like Yuan Shuang serve the normal operation of the whole city. The post-90 s young man is an authentic Wuhan man. As the stationmaster of the express delivery site, he chose to stay behind and started a series of runs.
At dawn in the morning, he glanced at his mobile phone, and at 6 o’clock, he was ready to get up and go out. At 6: 50, he arrived at the company, holding an electronic thermometer. The first thing to do was to take the temperature of his colleagues. At 7 o’clock, they started unloading. At 8 o’clock, they began to deliver goods.
"Today’s goods, there are many express mails with yellow marks, indicating that this is an urgent item, so we will deliver it first." Yuan Shuang said that driving on an empty street, he and his brothers in the station picked up the parcel delivery of half the Tmall supermarket in Hanyang District, Wuhan, which was very fulfilling.
It’s almost one o’clock in the afternoon before he has time to have a rest. "I know you didn’t eat." Colleagues sent him a rice covered with shredded pork with green pepper. This concern was not thanked each other, but was more a sign of eyes. He squatted on the conveyor belt and chatted with reporters while eating. In less than ten minutes, he hastily finished his meal and turned to the warehouse to see the goods to be delivered in the afternoon. He was also full of daily necessities purchased by citizens online, and delivered every expectation in time.
Ask him why he likes to deliver goods at a trot? He said with a smile, as a native of Wuhan, he is also a courier. In times of crisis, he can do something for his city in his post. "We can run and feel particularly meaningful."
The afternoon sun is shining brightly. After delivering the goods, he told reporters: "I want my parents to see that after the cold winter, the warmth will eventually arrive. Come on, Wuhan!"
"I want to be a good volunteer driver these days."
Zhang Yichi, the driver of the "special car", wants to say to his family most: "These days, I especially look forward to being able to ‘ Laid off ’ 。”
At 9: 00 pm, the "special car" arrived as scheduled. As soon as the car stopped and rolled down the window, the reporter saw Zhang Yichi wearing a mask, with the unique boldness of Wuhan people, waving his hand: "Get on the bus, these days are busy!" Talking about his work these days, he said, "Yesterday, a friend of China Construction Third Bureau contacted me and said that two colleagues had reported to the construction site in Thunder God Mountain hospital. I picked up one at 4 pm, another at 8 pm, and picked up two medical staff halfway, just in time. "
At the age of 32, he is not a full-time driver, but a member of the Youth Federation of Wuchang District, Wuhan, working in a private enterprise. "I want to be a good volunteer driver these days." Zhang Yichi said.
On January 23, public transportation in Wuhan stopped. He heard that many doctors and nurses can’t go home after work. At this time, some enthusiastic volunteers quickly started QQ group and WeChat group, and a large number of brave Wuhan citizens went out of their homes to form a volunteer team. On this day, some people roughly counted four or five thousand people, and Zhang Yichi was one of them.
The reporter opened Zhang Yichi’s diary, with simple words but full of warmth — —
January 25, the first day of the first month: I got up at 5: 50 this morning, and I picked up five people in total. It’s rare in this group, and I saw an old brother pick up more than a dozen orders.
January 26th, the second day of the first month: Today, all four orders are long-distance trans-regional, each order is 20 to 40 kilometers, so tired. Hubei Maternal and Child Hospital to Jinyintan Hospital, Hankou Station to Zhongnan Hospital … … I went out at 12: 30 noon and came back at 8: 00 pm, mainly because I couldn’t find a place to eat outside. I didn’t come back until I was hungry, and I didn’t go out until I was full tomorrow.
It’s still winter in Wuhan, but Zhang Yichi said that the small space in his car is full of warmth between people. A doctor in a car stuffed him with a pack of masks to remind him to pay attention to self-protection; A nurse sent a bottle of alcohol and showed him how to use spray in the car. Another nurse, seeing that his alcohol was running low, heard that the alcohol in the small supermarket had been replenished, bought several bottles and threw them in the car, insisting on no money.
On January 29th, on the fifth day of the first month, after getting up in the morning, Zhang Yichi found that the number of WeChat groups was obviously less. He thought this was a good sign and the capacity was eased. On this day, he found a new job, and the Youth Federation in the district recruited volunteers. A large number of overseas aid materials arrived in Wuhan and needed translators. "My English level is under no pressure, and my wife is also a French teacher, and her Japanese level is N1." He said with a smile, with some pride in his tone.
At noon on February 4, he went home to sleep, stayed at home for a while, and saw new news in the WeChat group. He said, "No matter, I’ll pull for a while, and now the demand is decreasing, otherwise I won’t be able to grab the order in the future."
Picking up his mobile phone, driver’s license and mask, he threw them at the copilot, and he drove out again. Zhang Yichi said: "When the order is gradually restored, I should ‘ Laid off ’ Yes. "
"However, I am particularly looking forward to ‘ Laid off ’ 。” He added that this is what he has often said to his family recently.
