"That day I sat in the office from daytime until 12 o'clock in the evening and heard 'Wuhan Jiefeng' and saw that the vehicle was starting to leave. I really couldn't hold back (crying). It was finally carried over, which was not easy." "Raincoat "Sister" Liu Xian said in an exclusive interview with a reporter from China News Service that every day in Wuhan is not fighting alone. "Some people say that" Sister Raincoat "touched the whole country, but actually everyone touched me."

On February 2, after learning that it was difficult for Wuhan medical staff to eat warm meals, Liu Xian, a post-90s catering practitioner, wrote a suicide note, and the team went from Chengdu to Chengdu “retrograde” to Wuhan for more than 40 days. Local medical staff provided more than 20,000 steaming free lunches. Because he didn't have protective clothes when he first arrived in Wuhan, he often wore a raincoat to "run bravely" to major hospitals. People kindly called Liu Xian "sister raincoat".

More than two hundred pounds of pork, more than three hundred pounds of rice, two large bags of potatoes, and all the spices that can be found in the Chengdu store are all the belongings of this petite Sichuan girl when she went to Wuhan. "Medical staff are not very demanding on the lunch box. They always say that it is already very happy to fill up the stomach with hot home cooking, but I still want everyone to eat as much as possible, at least there is meat."

Liu Xian calculated an account, he had half a catty of pork for each lunch, which was calculated based on an average of 500 servings per day. Almost a pig was needed every day, and the materials he had brought with all his strength were only enough for two or three days. However, with the help of the Charity Association, volunteers and the media, not only did his restaurant not cut off the meat for a day, he also collected and purchased nearly 3.5 million yuan of materials for the medical staff. "The miracle was created by everyone together."

When the meal was first delivered to the medical staff, some medical staff proposed to give Liu Xian protective clothing, but Liu Xian refused. "Materials were particularly scarce at the time, and these precious materials should be used in more needed places." Liu Xian recalled that during the day he was busy buying food, cooking, and delivering food, just like a spinning top, and had no time to think about other things, but late at night. When people are still feeling scared.

At that time, Wuhan brought together volunteers from all over China. Recalling that the volunteers were helping each other in Wuhan, Liu Xian burst into tears many times, but he could not conceal his pride in his words. Liu Xian recalled that once he collected more than a dozen tons of materials, and after asking for help in the group of volunteers, only about half an hour later, there were more than 30 vehicles assembled at the highway junction, and these materials were moved to small vehicles. And sent to different hospitals.

Later, a teacher from the South-Central University for Nationalities in the WeChat group of volunteers sent four sets of protective clothing for the Liu Xian team because of going to the Thunder Mountain Hospital. "These protective suits are so precious. I wear them carefully every time I wear them." Liu Xian recalled that once her protective suit hung a small hole, she continued to use it after sticking it with tape.

As the kitchens of the hospitals in Wuhan began to return to normal operation and supplies became more and more abundant, Liu Xian decided to end the "retrograde" mission. After distributing more than 1,000 pounds of pork from the restaurant to 100 elderly households, she left Wuhan.

The raincoat that accompanied me for many days, the hats given by the police, the kitchen knife full of gaps, the rubber band of the aunt cleaning, the self-made shoe repair crochet, the "thousand clothes" donated by Wuhan citizens ... These seemingly ordinary items silently told the players We "retrograde" the day and night in Wuhan, and Liu Xian placed it in the glass cabinet of the Chengdu restaurant. The door of the restaurant was covered with post-it notes. These were the messages written by the citizens who came to cheer for the “retrovert” after they knew the story of “Sister Raincoat”.

Recently, the Office of the United Nations Secretary-General ’s Special Envoy for Youth recommended on the United Nations website the story of 10 young people from around the world participating in the fight against "epidemic", including China's "raincoat sister". In Liu Xian's view, this is an affirmation of Chinese young volunteers and affirmation of China's anti-epidemic performance. "Together with the attitude of the community of human destiny, we need more young volunteers to join the ranks of the global anti-epidemic."

Returning from "retrograde", Liu Xian initiated the establishment of "Raincoat Charity". At present, tens of thousands of caring people have joined, and members are all over the world. "On the day of the fire in Xichang," Raincoat Public Welfare "followed the" Wuhan Experience "and sent water and bread to the frontline headquarters in less than three hours. In the view of the Sichuan sister, more and more young people have already Take action, "Sister Raincoat" is not a title of a person, but a symbol of a group of people. (Finish)
