  The ICU ward on the 7th floor of the South Building where the head nurse of Jinyintan Hospital, Qu Zhaohui, was at the forefront of the war. At the commendation ceremony, recalling the past 120 days of anti-epidemic experience, Qu Zhaohui sobbed several times.

  "It's 120 days to say whether it's long or short? It's not until my child grows eight centimeters taller secretly. I only saw one side and closed my eyes shortly. It felt the same as yesterday on December 29." Qu Zhaohui said. From the initial overwhelming when faced with a sudden outbreak, to the successful treatment of the first endotracheal intubation patient, and then to the ward to achieve zero clearance, the outbreak made her realize her responsibility and mission as a nursing staff.

Seeing the patients getting better and returning to health is the biggest affirmation of her work.
