The first anniversary of the unblocking of Wuhan: a tribute to the city of heroes and live up to the path of the past
■ Editorial
At the node of the first anniversary of the unblocking of Wuhan, we once again salute the heroic city and the heroic people.
Today, April 8, is an extraordinary day for Wuhan.
At 0:00 on April 8, 2020, Wuhan, Hubei officially lifted the control of the Lihan-Lihu channel, and the "City of Heroes" that had been pressed for 76 days with the pause button began to restart.
The plumbing in Jiangcheng has revived in spring.
On April 8, 2021, the first anniversary of Wuhan’s unblocking, significant results have been achieved in China’s fight against the epidemic, while the shadow of the global epidemic has not yet completely disappeared. Looking back at this "historical" node in China’s fight against the epidemic, people can’t help but feel deeply moved. Thousand, there are too many sentiments to express.
At the beginning of last year, the new crown epidemic raided Wuhan and spread rapidly in a short period of time. At this critical moment, the central government made the decision to close the city of Wuhan. At 10 o'clock on January 23, a city with a population of tens of millions of people pressed the pause button and opened the lockdown of Wuhan. The prelude to the fight against the epidemic.
In just over two months, Wuhan was unblocked, writing an important course in the prevention and control of the world's epidemic. Now it seems that it is still moving.
"Wuhan wins, Hubei wins, and Hubei wins, the country wins."
The unblocking of Wuhan is of great significance to Wuhan and Hubei, but its significance is not limited to Wuhan or Hubei, one city and one place, but is related to the direction of the national anti-epidemic chess.
Therefore, the unblocking of Wuhan is essentially opening a new chapter in China’s fight against the epidemic, and it is an important turning point for Wuhan, Hubei, and the whole country to enter the normalization stage of epidemic prevention and control and accelerate the resumption of work and production.
The performance of Wuhan, which has been unblocked for a year, has been promoting the combination of epidemic prevention and control and resumption of production, which is actually a microcosm of the economic and social recovery under the normalization of epidemic prevention and control in China.
In 2020, the total economic volume of Wuhan will reach 156.161 billion yuan, recovering from a 40.5% decline in regional GDP in the first quarter to a decline of 4.7% throughout the year, embarking on a firm V-shaped trajectory.
In the spring of 2021, the cherry blossoms in Wuhan will bloom again, and the cherry blossom viewing crowds across the country will also return to Jiangcheng.
During the Qingming holiday, Hubei received more than 10 million tourists, and Wuhan was also among the top ten popular destinations during the Qingming holiday.
Various signs indicate that after an arduous battle against the epidemic, a vigorous Wuhan, a vibrant Wuhan, and a resilient Wuhan have returned again.
These achievements are inseparable from the perseverance, dedication, and even sacrifice of thousands of people in Wuhan, and they also rely on the solidarity of the people from all over the country.
In this process, we witnessed scenes of life and death, and also witnessed too many moving moments; we saw the tenacity and responsibility of Wuhan, the city of heroes, and felt the tenacious anti-epidemic spirit nourished Wuhan in the "post-epidemic" period. The vigorous development of the times.
On the first anniversary of the unblocking, looking back at Wuhan’s anti-epidemic efforts before unblocking, reviewing the economic and social restart path that Wuhan has taken in the past year after unblocking will help us have a deeper understanding of Chinese society’s resistance. The price and contribution of the epidemic, the strong endogenous driving force of China's economic and social development, and the importance of scientific prevention and control and precise prevention and control.
From the current point of view, including Wuhan, China has handed in an eye-catching response to the epidemic, taking the lead in controlling the epidemic on a global scale, in order to fulfill its commitment to "put people's lives and health first". Provides a strong guarantee.
At the same time, we must also see that the current global epidemic is still at a high-risk state as a whole, and the protracted battle against the epidemic is far from reaching the time when Mingjin will retreat.
Especially in the context of the gradual acceleration of global flows, the pressure of China's epidemic prevention and control on "foreign defense import" still cannot be underestimated.
The recent "second epidemic" in the border city of Ruili has given a realistic reminder.
At present, the focus of global epidemic prevention and control has shifted to vaccination. At this new stage, China insists on continuing to respect the principles of scientific epidemic prevention in order to defend the anti-epidemic results to the greatest extent.
If you don't forget the time and the way, you can move forward.
On the first anniversary of the unblocking of Wuhan, we once again pay tribute to the heroic city and the heroic people.
At the same time, the results of epidemic prevention and control from Wuhan's arduous efforts have also inspired us to cherish the hard-won epidemic prevention situation more and carry out scientific and precise epidemic prevention to the end.
The most important thing is that the concerted efforts to fight the epidemic at the most critical moment of epidemic prevention, the empathy and civic responsibility that arouse in the face of catastrophes, and the hard mental temperament that does not win battles and do not triumph should be internalized into us. The motivation to continue to move forward, continue to do a good job in epidemic prevention and control, so as to return the people of the country to a safer and more secure normal life as soon as possible.
