China News Service, Wuhan, April 9 (Ma Furong and Wu Yili) On the first anniversary of Wuhan’s “unblocking”, Zhang Boli, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and President of Tianjin University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, returned to Wuhan. He was accepted by China News Service on the 9th. In an exclusive interview, the reporter said that seeing people live and work in peace and harmony in society, "all the hard work last year is worth it!"
After the outbreak in 2020, Zhang Boli, who was more than 70 years old, went retrograde to Wuhan to guide Chinese medicine in the whole process of intervention in the treatment of new coronary pneumonia, and led a Chinese medicine team to Wuhan Jiangxia Fangcai Hospital.
The overload of work caused him to have cholecystitis and had to remove his gallbladder, so he left a touching story of “following the liver and gallbladder” with Wuhan.
Zhang Boli said that in the year since he was evacuated from Wuhan in April last year, he has returned to Wuhan about five times. This time he has a different mood.
On the evening of the 8th, he went to the Yangtze River and saw the neon flashing on the two rivers and the four banks, and the people running and walking at night were endless. He said with infinite emotion, "We are looking for Wuhan like today."
Jiangxia Fangcai Hospital has now completed its standardization transformation and has become a "New Crown Vaccination Site in Dahuashan Fangcai Hospital", and the familiar meeting rooms and locker rooms have become today's vaccination rooms.
The anti-epidemic exhibition board displayed in the shelter records the story that took place in the shelter of Jiangxia... On the afternoon of the 9th, facing this scene, Zhang Boli choked up several times, took off his glasses from time to time, and wiped away the tears overflowing from the corners of his eyes with a tissue.
"The mountains and rivers are full of spring, and the family and the country are all well..." When he evacuated last year, Zhang Boli wrote a poem "Going Home" to bid farewell to Wuhan.
He chanted again this time: "Last year we defeated the epidemic and resumed production. This year, it has improved further. Why is it not exciting?"
"China is very safe now, but the world is not peaceful." Speaking of the current situation of epidemic prevention and control, Zhang Boli pointed out that China's foreign defense import has a long way to go when the foreign epidemic continues or even develops.
He emphasized that external defense input must not only guard against people, but also against objects.
Zhang Boli urged everyone to get vaccinated as soon as possible, "The effectiveness and safety of China's new crown vaccine have been evaluated, and you can rest assured."
But he reminded that personal protection cannot be relaxed.
"Hundred immunity means that society is relatively safe, and does not mean that individuals are absolutely safe." He emphasized that some good habits such as wearing masks, washing hands frequently, frequent ventilation, and reducing intensive contact still need to be maintained.
