"For help, more than a dozen children with leukemia in Putian Xianyou are facing drug withdrawal. Is there any way to get the drugs in?" A number of social workers from the Fujian Provincial Public Welfare Association for the Difficulties issued an emergency call in the circle of friends.
The local epidemic of new crown pneumonia that started on September 10 put Xianyou County, Putian City, Fujian Province in the “eye of the storm”, and put 8 children with leukemia in Putian into the predicament of stopping the drug.
According to official disclosures, from September 10 to 8:00 on September 14, Fujian Province reported a total of 139 cases of local positive infections, including 75 cases in Putian.
In order to strengthen the prevention and control of the epidemic, 64 expressway toll stations in Fujian Province are under control, of which 12 toll stations in Putian are completely closed.
"If the medicine is not supplied today, it will be cut off at noon." A Lin (a pseudonym), who lives in Huating Town, Chengxiang District, Putian City, panicked.
A 6-year-old child suffers from leukemia and needs long-term medication.
What happens if the drug is stopped?
Ali (pseudonym), who lives in Licheng District, Putian City, said that as soon as the medicine is stopped, the child's blood level cannot be controlled, and the white blood cells will run up.
The shortbread (pseudonym) social worker of the Fujian Public Welfare Association for the Poverty told the China News Agency reporter that some time ago, Xiaoyan, a child with leukemia, was admitted to the ICU because he missed a medicine.

Due to limited medical conditions, most Putian children go to the Union Hospital of Fujian Medical University in Fuzhou, and medicines are also delivered from Fuzhou.
In particular, some medicines used by children need to be transported cold chain.
Asking for help appeared in concentric circles on social media.
The Propaganda Department of the Xianyou County Party Committee responded. The local media gathered to report on the epidemic responded. The Putian police responded, and the patient circle in Fuzhou also responded.
After a lot of planning, the first stop of the drug plan was first sent to the junction of Fuqing Expressway in Fuzhou, then divided into two routes, and sent to Putian City and Xianyou County by police vehicles.
The first stop of the relay delivery of medicines was shortbread. Huang Da (a pseudonym), who was also the parent of a child with leukemia, served as the driver.
Dad Huang is a member of "Iron Man". This title comes from the belief of the father of a group of children with leukemia in Fuzhou.
In order to solve the huge cost of medicine for their children, they gathered together, washed the air conditioner, delivered food, and worked hard to make money, and their reputation was very good.
"We hope to protect the children with our own hands and be their'Iron Man'." Dad Huang said.

Two female police officers Jiang Pengshan and Lin Qiaoli from the Public Security Bureau of Putian City, together with media reporters, used a police car to deliver the medicine to the second stop.
During the "epidemic" of the war, two female police officers were responsible for docking volunteer services.
Lin Qiaoli said that not long after the call-up order was issued, thousands of people signed up, from all walks of life.
Jiang Pengshan told reporters the story of Gao Feng, the driver and police officer at the second stop.
In the eyes of his colleagues, Gao Feng's luck is not very good: his home is in Shandong, because of the epidemic, he did not go back to his hometown to visit his old mother for two full years.
A few days ago, he finally took a month’s family leave to visit him, but he did not expect to receive an order to assemble the outbreak before boarding the plane.
"Actually, he didn't have to come back at the time." Jiang Pengshan said. Gao Feng's inability to return home was not because of bad luck but "out of responsibility and responsibility."

At 11 o'clock on September 14, the urgently needed medicines purchased by patients were packed in boxes and set off from the Fujian Public Welfare Association for Poverty Aid.
At 15:00 on September 14, in Xindu Town, Licheng District, Putian City, the last medicine box was delivered to Mother Yang.
With this four-hour “retrograde” relay of love, Alin from Xianshui Village, Bangtou Town, Xianyou County received the first medicine box. She said to a six-year-old child: “They are helping us. You grow up. If you don’t, you have to help others."
Ali also got the medicine and felt that the child's luck was very good.
Ali was worried that the epidemic would bring a psychological impact to her children. “Maybe this delivery of medicine will show him that the isolation city does not isolate love. There are many people in this world who love him.” (End)
