　　Li Jun, the sales manager of the Air China Johannesburg sales department in South Africa, wept on the 42nd birthday when his daughter said to him during the video call: "Dad, you sent so many people back to China, but why don't you come back?"

　　When he said this, Li Jun had not seen his daughter for more than half a year, especially the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, which made "reunion" a luxury-whenever he was free, he would always repeat it again and again. I turned on the phone and looked at the family’s photos again and again, “This is my daughter, she is 11 (years old) this year, and is already an older child.” Whenever I talk about my daughter, Li Jun cannot help but talk more. Guilty.

　　At the beginning of this year, the sudden new crown pneumonia epidemic caused Li Jun to send back his wife and daughter who had just come to South Africa to accompany him during the Spring Festival. Soon he rushed to Durban to take part in Air China's task of transporting anti-epidemic supplies back home.

At that time, he wore protective glasses, gloves and masks throughout Durban's weather of more than 30 degrees Celsius, and was responsible for the inventory of anti-epidemic supplies.

During the period, the mist that dissipated on the protective goggles several times, and the hands covered in white and wrinkled, made every colleague who worked with Li Jun still fresh in his memory.

　　Even so, Li Jun stayed with his colleagues in the airport cargo warehouse, working all day and night to make the "Durban 24 hours" good show of grabbing supplies successfully staged.

To this end, local employees at Durban International Airport later gave him the nickname "super Li".

　　However, "Super Li"’s anti-epidemic story is not over: Since July, Li Jun has personally participated in the weekly evacuation flights, from the personnel assembly point three kilometers away from the airport to the airport check-in counter. At the boarding gate, Li Jun, wearing a full set of protective equipment, "accompanied Chinese and overseas Chinese throughout the journey"; in the face of the increase in passenger flow brought by the gradual opening of international flights after the relaxation of the "blockade order" in South Africa in October, Li Jun has already agreed Colleagues worked out a detailed work plan in advance.

　　A few days ago, a "standard photo" of Li Jun, with sweat and strangles on his face after taking off his protective clothing and mask, quickly spread throughout the South African Chinese circle, and he suddenly became a "hero"-now in Joburg, even if he wears Wearing a mask, most Chinese can recognize him at first sight and will take the initiative to greet him.

Accompanied by this, up to now, Air China's Johannesburg sales department has sent more than 2,400 passengers during the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia epidemic.

　　What is less known is that Li Jun’s overseas work term has actually been "ended" for half a year, but because he is more familiar with the local situation in South Africa, he chose to "exceed service" to stay to fight the epidemic, and this is why his daughter is often confused about his The reason for going home.

The picture shows that in February of this year, Li Jun "seeking off" Air China's cargo class after returning to his country to deliver anti-epidemic supplies.

　　Li Jun said frankly that his daughter's questions always make him feel embarrassed, and his heart is full of mixed feelings.

Especially every time I see my daughter say in the video, "Dad, you have to take care of yourself, mom and I are waiting for you to come back", his eyes get wet again and again.

　　At the moment, what concerns the Beijing man most is the development of the new crown pneumonia vaccine. Once the development is successful, he will be able to go home soon. Either cook her favorite fried liver meal for his daughter, or take his family to drive out. Turn around, or just chat with the old neighbors in the alley where I grew up...

　　As he spoke, an airplane whizzed past his head. Looking up, Li Jun's eyes were full of expectation.

"Really homesick," he said.
