[Commentary] The fifth wave of the epidemic in Hong Kong is fierce. On February 19, a nucleic acid sampling team composed of 106 people from the mainland to Hong Kong braved cold wind and rain to enter Hong Kong to support.
After the team arrived in Hong Kong, after sampling training and on-site observation, from February 21, more than 100 mainland nucleic acid sampling team members rushed to Hong Kong nucleic acid sampling sites at sampling sites in Yuen Long, Yau Tsim Mong, North District, Ma On Shan and To Kwa Wan. Get to work together.
14 years ago, Wei Lin was one of the specialist nurses jointly trained by Guangdong and Hong Kong. 14 years later, she was the leader of the nucleic acid sampling team of Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, leading the team to support Hong Kong's fight against the epidemic.

We received such a task of assisting Hong Kong to fight the epidemic on February 18. As a member of the specialized nurses trained in Guangdong and Hong Kong, after studying in Hong Kong for a year, in fact, we have a deep relationship with Hong Kong, so As soon as I heard that there was a need in Hong Kong, I did not hesitate to sign up.
[Explanation] Zhang Nu, the leader of the Central Aided Hong Kong Anti-epidemic Nucleic Acid Sampling Team and Deputy Dean of the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University, said in an exclusive interview with China News Agency recently that the average age of the mainland's aided Hong Kong nucleic acid sampling team is 35.7 years old, and all members of the team have aided Hubei. , nucleic acid support or fever clinic/isolation ward work experience, rich experience in nucleic acid sampling and good professional quality of infection prevention and control.

On the first day we went, we were still very impressed. At that time, I went to the spot in Ma'anshan on the first day. That spot was open-air, in an artificial football field. It was also raining heavily at that time. Seven or eight degrees, then there were a lot of people at that time, and everyone was lined up in a long queue like a snake for testing, but the people in Hong Kong who were impressed were very orderly.
[Explanation] Zhang Nu said that the specific sampling operations in the two places are somewhat different. For example, the mainland adopts "pharynx swabs and mixed inspections", and Hong Kong adopts "bilateral nasal swabs and throat swabs mixed, single-person single inspection".
Due to the preliminary training, the players quickly became proficient.

After we went, after 106 people went, we reached 5 points, and most of the time, we helped them to open 34 more sampling stations, so we probably completed such a one-hundred thousand person-times from the time of the visit to the return. (sampling).
Therefore, the workload is still very large, so it should be said that nucleic acid sampling for Hong Kong has effectively alleviated their manpower shortage, and the effect is still relatively obvious.
[Commentary] Xu Chaoyan, captain of the first batch of nucleic acid sampling team of the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University, told reporters that due to the impact of the epidemic in the past two years, many Hong Kong citizens could not return to the mainland, when they knew that the personnel responsible for sampling were from the mainland , it feels very kind.

There are many things that left a deep impression on us. For example, we took the language aspect. After that, we found out that the people of Hong Kong knew that we were from the Mainland. He took the initiative to ask us to speak Mandarin. He said that I wanted to hear the local dialect, and when he saw that we often met, he didn't say he wanted to cry, but he felt very cordial.
[Commentary] When it comes to the recognition and gratitude of Hong Kong citizens, the hearts of the nucleic acid sampling team members in Hong Kong are particularly warm.

As for the team members, in fact, everyone has deep feelings for Hong Kong, because everyone in our team members also has some relatives or friends and teachers who are in Hong Kong, so when these relatives know that our team members come to Hong Kong to support, they also take the initiative. We offered to send greeting cards, some food, etc., but we also refused. We thanked them for their kindness, and we are very grateful to the people of Hong Kong for their affirmation and support.
[Explanation] Zhang Nu said that the current round of the epidemic in Hong Kong is gradually coming to an end, and society is gradually returning to normal.
In this joint fight against the epidemic, the two sides have cooperated seamlessly, which is very gratifying.

That is to say, we have been in touch with each other for so long since we went there, including the tour guide in Hong Kong, the driver who pulled us in Hong Kong, including the staff of the hotel in Hong Kong, then we have not encountered a single unpleasant thing, then (now) Hong Kong basically Lastly, the fifth wave of the epidemic should enter a final stage. Of course, it cannot be said that it is our contribution. It is just that we happened to be, and it should have appeared when Hong Kong needed it most.
