On January 12, 22 members of the 25th batch of China's (Ningxia) medical aid team to Benin set off from Yinchuan Hedong International Airport and went to Benin, an African country, for a one-and-a-half-year foreign aid medical mission. Member Wu Jing will also become one year Half of the "absent mother".
In April 2020, Wu Jing entered the list of the 25th batch of China (Ningxia) medical aid team to Benin through selection.
"At that time, I was hesitant inside, but I thought (foreign aid) was a very unforgettable experience, maybe once in a lifetime, and finally decided to take on this task."
When she went to a foreign country, Wu Jing's 4-year-old son Chenchen was the most reluctant: "The pediatrician is busy, and I usually spend less time with the child. When I come back, the child will be five and a half years old."
In order not to make Chenchen too sad, Wu Jing said goodbye to him in advance on January 10.
"The child heard that I was going to Africa before and was happy to ask me to bring him an African drum. On the day of the separation, he cried and pulled me, saying that I don't want the African drum and I want my mother to accompany him." Speaking of his son, Wu Jing choked up in tears several times, "Even if you have done a lot of psychological construction, it is still very sad when you are separated from your child."
On the second day after the separation, Wu Jing and her husband drove to the kindergarten again, watching from a distance their son was picked up by her grandfather after school, but she finally realized her last wish before leaving.
"In the next one and a half years, my son will not be accompanied by his mother, but after all, there are fathers, grandpas, grandma, kindergarten teachers, and friends with him. There are many people who love and care about him." In Benin, There are countless children waiting for Wu Jing to be treated.
Wu Jing learned through the previous batch of medical teams that Benin’s climate is hot and humid, medical and sanitary conditions are very backward, many children are infected with malaria, and it is far more difficult to carry out diagnosis and treatment services than in China. “So I especially hope to do my best to help there. Children, let them be less sick and more happy and healthy."
In the suitcase that Wu Jing carried, there are many "white rabbit toffee", "because I heard that children in Africa like to eat our Chinese "white rabbit toffee", I want to bring the toffee to the children over there , Let them feel the sweetness of life."
As the plane took off, Wu Jing also embarked on the road to Benin. Before leaving, she bought a pot of succulents for her mother-in-law to transfer to her son, "I asked her mother-in-law to tell the child that we must take good care of this pot of florets. It will accompany you like a mother. When the florets grow up, mothers will Come back." (End)
