China News Service, Shijiazhuang, January 7th (Zhang Fan) Shijiazhuang at this moment has changed from the past.

Standing in front of the window at home, looking at the empty streets, and living in this city since I was a child, I once again realized that the busy road is the bustling avenue, and the crowds of people are the country and the people.

  Since January 2, the first confirmed case of new coronary pneumonia broke out in Shijiazhuang. By January 5, 19 confirmed cases and 41 asymptomatic infections were added.

  On the evening of the 5th, Shijiazhuang held a press conference on epidemic prevention and control.

From the evening of the 5th to the 6th, the citizens of Shijiazhuang successively received notifications to implement closed-loop control in their communities and rural areas to carry out nucleic acid testing for all employees.

Starting on the 6th, Shijiazhuang city-wide nucleic acid testing has been launched for all employees.

  Early in the morning, groups of medical workers worked tirelessly and feared danger, went deep into communities, and used their actions to "restart" this city with a long-term population of 11 million.

  And I, after submitting the manuscript in the early morning of the 6th and returning home, I was also closed in the community, waiting for nucleic acid testing.

  Unable to go out, I can only turn on the phone and look for clues around me, hoping to help my colleagues who are fighting ahead.

I found that the WeChat group of the owners in my community became active.

  Because of the epidemic, neighbors who did not prepare daily necessities in time or did not know the current epidemic prevention measures had a lively chat in the group.

  More owners may remind everyone that personal information that needs to be registered for nucleic acid testing must be prepared in advance, or cheer up.

Some neighbors also reminded that when doing nucleic acid testing, you must remember to bring your home key...

  In the past, the owner group was more quiet, and the neighbors might not know each other for several years.

After the epidemic broke out, the owner group suddenly broke into everyone's hearts.

At night, I finally waited for the news that the cell will conduct nucleic acid testing.

With a hello, the owners have signed up for volunteers in the group and voluntarily maintained order.

  "Really distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors." These are words that an owner lamented in the WeChat group.

The reason was that an old man in his family was unable to go downstairs for nucleic acid testing. The neighbors helped to report the trivial matter to the neighborhood committee, but it also truly reflected Shijiazhuang under the epidemic. Although people are separated, their hearts are getting closer.
