China News Agency reporter Wang Zumin

On March 23, Wuhan "closed the city" for two full months. More than 9 million Wuhan citizens and foreigners left behind in this key epidemic area can only experience the seasonal changes from winter to spring from the side of the window of the fighting room and the temperature of the body.

January 23 two months ago was the day before New Year's Eve. As you return home and reunite with your family, this transportation hub and mega city in central China was forced to press the "pause button".

The city is "down," but the lives of residents must continue. However, in the early stage of the epidemic, there was no deep knowledge of the new crown virus, insufficient testing conditions, and insufficient hospital beds. Whether it was an overcrowded clinic or an empty street, it released a panic breath. This should be the Spring Festival of the Chinese New Year of the Lantern, and the Wuhan people are frustrated. Nevertheless, more than 9 million people still closed the door to the outside world at the same time.

"(Zhengyue) I did n’t move on the first day, I did n’t move on the second day, I did n’t move on the third day, I did n’t move on the fourth day, I still did n’t move on the fifth day ... when can I move? Zhong Nanshan called to move! The "fixed rumor" spread in the helplessness was humorous, explaining the overall situation and openness of the people of Wuhan.

With the spread of the epidemic, "Wuhan" and "Wuhan People" were once the target of criticism. In the discrimination, accusations, and even verbal abuses of some foreigners, the grievances and depression of Wuhan people are beyond the knowledge of the outside world. At this time, they did not justify and complained. Instead, they wrote a "Readme" of "Sorry," famous "in this way, a song of" Wuhan, "and a" Wuhan, us Waiting for you, also please wait for Wuhan. ”The city promo shows the world, this city that fired the first shot of the 1911 Revolution. These military and civilian descendants who have fought for 4 years in the“ Wuhan Defense War ”during the War of Resistance Against Japan. Able to bear heavy tasks can withstand heavy pressure.

At the same time, Huanghelou, Guqintai, Jianghanguan, Wuda Sakura and other landmarks, hot dry noodles, sweet eggnog, Wuchang fish, Sanxian bean skin and other flavors ... also follow that readme, that song, that The picture is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and conveys the wisdom and wisdom of Wuhan people.

After the epidemic, many Wuhan citizens have voluntarily formed volunteer teams to provide pick-up and delivery services for medical staff and some front-line workers; hospitalized patients are afraid that their illness will cause medical staff to be infected. "Broken heart" ... Mr. Wang Xuelian, a member of the medical team of Hainan aid Hubei, said before the Han dynasty that "what is more beautiful than cherry blossoms is the enthusiasm and gratitude of Wuhan people", and what is said by Wuhan people's graciousness.

In early March, during the inspection of a district in Wuhan by the Central Guidance Group, some residents shouted "false, fake" in front of the window, pointing out that community property letting volunteers send vegetables and meat to the owners was superficial. This is not the case. At a time when the country's strength is helping Wuhan and the situation of epidemic prevention and control continues to improve, the alternative voice of Wuhan people comes from their inherent candor.

Under the epidemic situation, although they are no longer enthusiastic, they can still chat by shouting through the window. When they bring vegetables and food, they can put them at the door. They will remind each other in WeChat groups, encourage each other, and talk. They will be closed at home. Show warmth ...

According to a study published in the journal Science, Wuhan ’s “closing the city”, which began on January 23, has delayed domestic virus transmission for three to five days, and as of mid-February, it has reduced international transmission by nearly 80%. Some experts believe that if Wuhan closes the city a few days later, the domestic epidemic situation in China will increase several times, and its impact on the world is even more difficult to estimate. The contribution of Wuhan people to China and the global war epidemic is evident.

Located in a place where nine provinces are connected, living on the banks of large rivers and lakes, and seeing people who travel from north to south, Wuhan is a city of "firework gas" and "river and lake gas" coexisting. Wuhan people also have the multiplicity of southerners and northerners. character. After being closed for two months, they reshaped the style and temperament of the city with its forbearance, fortitude, openness, and optimism. Academician Zhong Nanshan, 84, once choked when talking about Wuhan. "A heroic city", this old man known as "National Male God" defined Wuhan under the epidemic.

Once, the "Wuhan people" were just a group divided by region without any emotional color; today, the "Wuhan people" make everyone relevant by their dedication. When the epidemic in China was under control and Wuhan was "closed to the city" for two months, all strangers had the same concerns-spring is here, the cherry blossoms are already blooming, Wuhan people, are you all right?
