Huajian 2nd Neighborhood, where Cui Liyou is located, is located in Xuhui District, Shanghai, which is an old community with a sense of age.
There are many elderly people in the community, and there is no elevator in the building, so every time the distribution of supplies is a big test for the volunteers, but for Cui Liyou, it is a different experience: "Everyone is very human, and they are very human. Same".
Two bento boxes and a family
At noon, when it was time for the volunteers to pick up the lunch box, Cui Liyou usually chose to take the lunch and dinner together, and turned around and went to another building.
Here lives a grandfather who is in his 90s and his son who suffers from mental illness. The two lunch boxes Cui Liyou saved are their lunch.
"This 90-year-old grandfather takes care of his mentally ill son alone, which puts a lot of pressure on the caregivers, especially now that the epidemic is under lockdown, and both members of the family are in a state of high pressure. "In addition to delivering the lunch box, Cui Liyou will distribute some of the stockpiled goods in his home to the elderly, which brought great comfort to the elderly under the epidemic, especially when the supplies were tight at the beginning of the epidemic.
"I think that if there are few supplies at home, there will be a lack of security. I will send him lunch boxes and supplies. Although I can't do it every day, he can feel that someone is caring for him, and he won't have that much pressure. already."

Do not change the impression of Shanghai
After learning about the epidemic in Shanghai, Cui Liyou's friends sent greetings from Taiwan one after another. They were afraid that he would not have enough supplies and asked him if there was any risk in volunteering.
"As a volunteer in Shanghai, I have not only masks, but also protective clothing, hats, and face shields. The epidemic prevention materials and equipment here are much better. In fact, it is very safe. Every time my friends ask me, I will explain it to them clearly."

Cui Liyou said that he will not change his impression of Shanghai because of this wave of epidemics, but because of this volunteer experience, he feels that Shanghai is a very beautiful place.
"I often say that we will go to dinner when the epidemic is over. I really owe a lot of people's meals now. The 90-year-old grandpa's daughter wants to eat with me, saying thank you for taking care of his father during the epidemic; the volunteer team wants to eat because Everyone fought together during the epidemic, and there are many, many more, in fact, everyone is really cute, and you have to think in a good direction when getting along with people."
Cui Liyou chose to write this unforgettable volunteer experience of epidemic prevention and control in a diary, "Because this is an indelible memory in a person's life and a mark of an era, I chose to record it." (End)
