The waving of the Hong Kong police, the bowing of the little girl, the hand-painted greeting cards of the Hong Kong citizens, and the "comparison" of the volunteers... In the one month that the mainland's anti-epidemic medical and epidemic prevention team to aid Hong Kong has gone "retrograde", it has paid It is sweat and hard work, and the harvest is recognition and gratitude.

  On February 19, the second batch of anti-epidemic medical and epidemic prevention teams dispatched by the mainland to support Hong Kong's anti-epidemic work went to Hong Kong through the Shenzhen Bay Port to carry out research, treatment and nucleic acid sampling and testing.

  The Hong Kong compatriots who came and went remembered the bright eyes of the medical team members, and sincerely said a sentence: "Don't be exposed (thank you)".

In the private cars passing by the roadside, some car owners silently gave the team members a "refueling" gesture.

Regardless of whether it is cold rain or sunny day, the team members will be there all day long, and they will be on the scene in time and have quick tests.

  In their spare time, the medical team members responsible for nucleic acid sampling recorded their feelings in fragments for nearly a month.

The nucleic acid sampling in just one or two minutes has set up a "heart bridge" connecting mainland medical staff and Hong Kong citizens in the storm.

  thanks everywhere

  The medical team arrived in Hong Kong overnight in the rain.

With the temperature plummeting and the cold rain pouring in, the team members from the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University were assigned to the Ma'anshan Playground to be responsible for nucleic acid sampling.

  Nucleic acid sampling in Hong Kong requires nasal and throat swabs to be tested together, and some citizens are very nervous about nasal swabs.

Situ Miaoqiong from the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University is already "going out" to Hong Kong for the second time, the last time was in 2020.

This time, she took the initiative to invite Ying to go out, hoping to contribute to Hong Kong's ability to withstand the fifth wave of the epidemic with the experience of fighting the epidemic in the past few years.

  Situ Miaoqiong wrote in her diary: "A Hong Kong female citizen was very scared when she came to test nucleic acid for the first time. When doing a nasal swab, I put 0.5 cm of the front end of the swab into her nasal cavity and asked her how she felt. After accepting it, put 0.5 cm in, stop for a while and then put in 0.5 cm, and gradually let her have a psychological acceptance process, and finally successfully completed the nucleic acid sampling." For scientific prevention and control, vaccination and other issues, Situ Miaoqiong will habitually introduce relevant knowledge and give advice, "I am very happy to be able to help everyone with professional knowledge."

  Tang Chunyuan of the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University wrote in his diary that many Hong Kong citizens came here from other places to do the test, and they still gave the medical team a thumbs up and a thumbs up after the test.

"Although I can't hold your flexible and slender hands, I feel your gentleness and proficiency. Thank you!" After a 40-year-old woman finished the nucleic acid, she suddenly gave the medical team a hand-painted card with a pattern. It's "Bing Dundun" wearing a mask.

After receiving this card, everyone was very moved when they saw "Thank you" written in both Chinese and English.

  On February 23, the weather in Hong Kong finally cleared up.

The number of citizens queuing up for nucleic acid testing has increased significantly. After a busy day, Wang Jiamin from the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University was walking towards the return bus when a gentle voice suddenly came from her ear: "It's okay to post (thank you) you guys, it's hard work. After two seconds of delay, Wang Jiamin turned around and saw a mother and daughter.

"It really shouldn't be posted (thank you very much) you!" The little girl suddenly bowed halfway to thank you, and Wang Jiamin, who was overwhelmed, could only wave her hand and said, "No need to thank you!"

  In Wang Jiamin's view, nucleic acid sampling is not complicated for nurses to operate.

But for different periods and different groups of people, the meaning of the operation is different.

"For patients who are going to be hospitalized, it is an admission ticket; for working people, it is a certificate to support the family economy; for Hong Kong in this period, it is a major prerequisite for living and working in peace and contentment. The eyes of the little girl and her mother, It strengthened my sense of mission. It turned out that my uncomplicated test could bring them such a touch." Wang Jiamin said.

  During the support of Hong Kong, the medical team moved to the hotel and testing site every day at two o'clock and one line.

After a short 15-minute drive, the team members saw that the quiet streets were not as noisy as they remembered, and they met people with lovely smiles under their masks.

Under the big epidemic, in the small mask, you can feel that every citizen is eager to return to the way they used to be.

  "The affirmation of the citizens is the recognition of our work. Let's work together!" The medical team members of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Southern Medical University conducted nucleic acid sampling at the Fung Kam Street Gymnasium in Yuen Long, Hong Kong. One day, a Hong Kong citizen in his 50s asked Player Liu Qiaofang: "You are the 'national team', right?" Liu Qiaofang nodded, and just wanted to ask how to identify it, the other party continued: "We used to queue for two or three hours, but today we will do it in less than half an hour, thank you !"

  "I'll try the 'national team' method." A Hong Kong citizen asked Liu Qiaofang a lot of questions when he came to do the nucleic acid test, and said in surprise: "The weather is so hot now that I work in a protective suit for 4 hours without drinking. You must be very uncomfortable if you don't go to the bathroom for water, right?" Liu Qiaofang said, "I can restrain myself and don't drink water before work."

  Wang Ping of the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University found that there are only three types of people who communicate with the medical team every day: "First, the hotel staff, they will say to each of our team members every morning and evening, 'Thank you for your hard work, Pay attention to safety" "You have worked hard, rest well"; second, the drivers and tour guides who escort us to and from get off work on time every day, no matter the weather is stormy or sunny, did not forget to explain Hong Kong culture to us on the way to and from the nucleic acid sampling site The third is the citizens who came for nucleic acid sampling, and they kept thanking us.”

  In many cases, the communication between the team members and the Hong Kong compatriots is also silent.

"Every time we go to and from the nucleic acid sampling site, there are always Hong Kong police waving to us from the car window; while the car is waiting for the traffic light, the citizens on the private car or bus next to us are cheering for us through the car window instead of 'come on'. In these moments of silent communication, I heard the encouragement of Hong Kong citizens for us, and also saw the confidence and expectations of Hong Kong citizens to actively fight the epidemic. "Wang Ping wrote in her diary, which made everyone more confident and motivated. Win this war without gunpowder.

  Healthy "green" will be back soon

  In March, the weather in Hong Kong is very hot.

  "The most frequently spoken word today is 'it's so hot'. Even during the nucleic acid sampling interval, the picture of ice lemonade suddenly flashes in my head." On March 1, Chen Yubing from the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University wrote in his diary. It wrote: "Even though the sun is scorching hot, we continue to improve our work efficiency in order to minimize the time citizens spend queuing under the sun. After work, each team member takes off his airtight protective clothing, and all the surgical gowns inside are Drenched. At this time, some team members joked, 'The surgical gown is dried, and it will crystallize and turn white later'."

  The number of nucleic acid samples collected by medical teams every day often breaks the previous day's record.

One day, a little boy was brought by his grandmother for nucleic acid testing. Grandma was already full of white hair. After the child cooperated with the nucleic acid test, he stood outside waiting for his grandmother.

Looking at the distant backs of grandparents and grandchildren, Chen Yubing wrote in his diary: "Even the children are so actively cooperating with the nucleic acid testing work and have such a strong sense of self-protection. I believe the dawn of overcoming the epidemic is at hand."

  Yin Liangchun from the Third Affiliated Hospital of Southern Medical University found that Hong Kong citizens cooperated very well with their work, queuing up as required, and orderly, "Their cooperation has greatly improved the efficiency of the sampling work. Some team members are not so fluent in Cantonese, and they will understand us. , cooperating with our inquiry in less standard Mandarin, which is very heart-warming."

  On the morning of March 6, the medical team of the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University came to the Ma'anshan Playground and saw that the strong wind the previous night had blown the more than 20 neat and tidy canopies temporarily built at the sampling site into a mess: They were gone, scaffolding was broken, supplies were scattered, and the ground was littered with dry leaves and sand from the wind.

The team members need to re-build nucleic acid sampling points before they can start the day's nucleic acid sampling work.

At a temperature of 23 degrees Celsius, the team members wearing protective clothing frequently raised their heads and bound the canopy, already sweating profusely.

  "I must grow taller in my next life!" "You can grow taller after tying it up, hahahaha!" In Wang Jiamin's diary, he recorded how the team members cooperated with each other and laughed again and again throughout the whole process.

"At that moment, I felt that what was rebuilt was not only the tent, but also the love of the medical team for the people of Hong Kong."

  As one of the few boys in the team, in addition to the sampling work, Hu Zhikun from the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University took the initiative to undertake a lot of heavy work.

On the way from the mainland to Hong Kong, Hu Zhikun kept telling himself that he must protect his own safety in order to play the greatest role in this fight against the epidemic, do his best for Hong Kong compatriots, and do a good job in sampling.

  "Beautiful Hong Kong, a prosperous Hong Kong, cannot be defeated by the epidemic. The motherland is gathering more forces to support it. When the big army arrives, it will be the day of victory." Sitting in the car, I saw the red light on the road. , Zhong Jianqing from the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University firmly believes that the "red light" is not scary, it is temporary, and the healthy "green" will come back soon.

  "Everything that is happening is moving in a better direction!" Situ Miaoqiong believes that the strong support of the central government, the strong measures of the Hong Kong SAR government, and the efforts of the people of Hong Kong have converged into a force for upward growth. The strength of the motherland to fight the epidemic!"
