Charge with a soldier's posture (China's "epidemic" · reportage)
The hero of the story is two young girls, one from Yifeng, Jiangxi, and one from Siping, Jilin. I drew a small circle at each of these two points on the map, and then drew an arrow indicating the direction of travel. I believe everyone knows that from late January to February 2020, those arrows representing the direction of action will almost point to the same destination: Wuhan, Hubei.
January 21
After the little year, the girl from Jiangxi Shu Chun returned to her home in Yifeng, put down her luggage, and took a hot bath comfortably. Her mother brought a lot of delicious food, and the family was happy.
Unlike the previous trip home, Shu Chun took some caution this time chatting with her family. Due to her professional relationship, she heard some wind when she left Wuhan. But the excitement of reunion and the coming New Year dilutes that little bit of worry in her heart.
Shu Chun is a nurse in the military clinic of the PLA General Hospital.
At the same time this evening, Wang Huan, a nurse who was on vacation in Siping, Jilin, was in a similar situation to Shu Chun. They were both colleagues and good friends, with similar age and experience. None of the two girls expected that in the next few days, a sudden epidemic would break their wonderful holiday.
January 22
There are too many things that need to be busy at home for the New Year. The two girls are at home in their hometown. Frequent news in the group makes them start to be alert, and the feeling of uneasiness gradually deepens.
The two nurses who went home on vacation did not know. On January 22, the PLA's UNPROFOR troops went into wartime from top to bottom.
On the morning of the 22nd, the joint logistics support force held a video conference on the prevention and control of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, and fully deployed the prevention and control work. After the meeting, the joint logistics support forces in the southeast and northwest of the country began operations.
In the morning, in the hall of the Fifth Medical Center of the General Hospital of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, an oath-of-practice conference was held in the hospital to combat the new crown pneumonia epidemic. As the designated third-level hospital for the treatment of new crown pneumonia cases in Beijing, the Fifth Medical Center has a glorious history: it has performed tasks such as combating SARS and assisting Africa and Egypt, and has extensive experience in handling outbreaks.
The mobilization words of the Oath Division are simple and clear: the epidemic is the battlefield, and now it is wartime. They are party members and soldiers. Everyone said, what should I do?
All the medical staff stood upright, raised their right hands, and the powerful voices echoed in the auditorium: bravery, fearlessness, resoluteness, hand in hand, anti-virus.
After the meeting, the leaders of the center received a snowy application form and registration form overnight.
I saw a familiar name in the thick pile of application books: Xin Shaojie. Xin Shaojie is a member of the Military Infectious Diseases Professional Committee and the director of the Liver Failure Diagnosis and Treatment and Research Center of the Fifth Medical Center. He has been teaching and researching clinical medicine for infectious diseases for more than 30 years, and has undertaken a number of major national and military issues. He stated in his application that he "would be a first-line physician with the liver failure center as a general physician."
Expert scholars' appeals are also different. Xin Shaojie puts the facts at a glance and makes sense. He wrote this way: 1. (I) have a wealth of SARS front-line experience. Participating in the first-line treatment with the team this time can provide timely suggestions for improving the success rate of treatment. 2. Having experienced the test of life and death during the SARS period, as the secretary of an old party branch, participating in the front-line treatment with the team will certainly play an active role in stimulating the morale of young comrades who have been working together for a long time. Third, good health. The 3000-meter test results meet the standards required by young people in their 30s and 40s, proving that their cardiopulmonary function is good, and they can beat any line of work, without delaying and affecting team work. "
At the end of the request book, Xin Shaojie wrote such an affectionate sentence: "For more than forty years in the army, the party organization has given me nothing. I cannot repay it. I raise troops for thousands of days, and I ask the organization for approval."
This day, the Southern Theater General Hospital. The telephones and WeChat of the hospital leaders and the medical department came one after another. The hospital's medical staff, from high-level experts to ordinary employees, use WeChat SMS, write battle letters and other forms to take the initiative to apply for battle.
In the battle against SARS 17 years ago, Huang Wenjie, the director of the respiratory department who successfully treated the world's first SARS patient in the battle against SARS, undoubtedly stated that he would fight again.
There are all kinds of generals as long as there are generals. Respiratory departments are commanded by "old heroes", and all colleagues in the respiratory department will not let them go. Thanks to today in the Internet era, the efficiency of soldiers to battle is so high that it is measured in seconds. Their WeChat invitations are as short as they can be, but they are concise but bold. The self-confidence and bloodiness made me deeply moved:
My name is Zheng Linxin, Mai Yumei, Chen Can, and Yuan Weifeng from the Department of Respiratory Diseases. I have volunteered to sign up for hot clinics without pay, regardless of life or death.
Respiration department Li Li, Chen Hong, also signed up for hot clinics. Thank you!
These medical fighters, when they were determined to go head-to-head with life, kept the blood and sincerity of the soldiers.
At the same time on this day, the Eastern Theater General Hospital has begun the implementation of anti-epidemic battles. The hospital organized emergency medical departments, fever clinics, and infectious disease departments to simulate the response to emergency outbreaks, and refined the procedures for the admission and treatment of new coronary pneumonia patients. And diagnosis and treatment. All employees do not need the approval of their superiors. After pressing the bright red handprint on the volunteer letter, they each took up their posts.
On this day, the Northern Theater General Hospital. More than a thousand medical staff in the hospital rushed to submit application documents to the party organization, and applied to join the team to fight the new crown pneumonia epidemic.
The General Hospital of the PLA is the largest general hospital in the military system in Beijing. On this day, a three-level response mechanism was launched, and 10 hot clinics and 60 screening sites were opened. At the same time, pre-store related medicines, testing reagents and consumables, anti-killers, protective gear and emergency vehicles according to demand, and be ready to receive batches of patients at any time.
On this day, the Western Theater General Hospital launched secondary protection, and rescue preparations were launched across the board ...
On this day, the People's Liberation Army Center for Disease Control and Prevention immediately launched an emergency plan for prevention and control and held an epidemic consultation. After several days and nights of hard work, he was the first to detect a new type of coronavirus nucleic acid, determine the full sequence of the genome, and develop a rapid test kit. This test reagent has played a huge role in the diagnosis of the disease.
At home, Shu Chun and Wang Huan did not know. This evening, their hometown held an emergency deployment meeting for the prevention and control of the new crown pneumonia epidemic. However, the mother of the two girls said the same thing: Thank you for coming back.
January 23
Wuhan closed the Li-Han corridor.
The county began to investigate the people who returned from Wuhan. It was reported that there was a suspected case in Maoping Village, Yifeng. Shu Chun, who has medical knowledge, understands that the epidemic has begun to spread and is more serious than expected.
Shu Chun and Wang Huan have been swiping their mobile phones these past few days. The sensitivity of their careers has made them aware that their colleagues at the hospital must be in the position of soldiers in the front line of the epidemic. They couldn't sit still.
Shu Chun talked with her parents and said, "The epidemic is very serious. I want to return to the hospital in advance."
The mother said, "Isn't the unit approved of your vacation?"
Shu Chun said, "Everyone is busy in the hospital."
The mother looked at her daughter's eyes and got wet: "Tomorrow is the thirtieth year. At the end of the year, I want you to go home and reunite in the thirties. Besides, how do you go back?"
Wang Huan is the character of a girl from the Northeast. In a noticed tone, she said to her family: I am going back. Mother said, Wuhan is like this now, how can you go there! Wang Huan said bluntly: It's just like Wuhan now, I just want to go back!
January 24
This day is New Year's Eve. The People's Government of Yifeng County issued a notice that the county's live bird trading market was closed. The virus is showing more and more danger.
The whole family gathered together in the evening, and the mother kept adding vegetables to her daughter's bowl, as if she had predicted that her daughter would soon leave the house.
During the Spring Festival Gala, Shu Chun has been watching WeChat, and the news of the PLA medical team helping Wuhan swipe the screen.
This night, the Tianhe International Airport in Wuhan, the medical team members and materials from the hospitals affiliated to multiple military medical universities of the Chinese People's Liberation Army arrived one after another. Combat boots, neat steps and loud passwords will become unforgettable memories of our generation for many years.
The night was already deep. Shu Chun couldn't sleep. There was a message in the WeChat circle of friends. She watched it for a long time: a simple large iron basin filled with a pile of dumplings. A dozen medical staff wearing medical coats stood and ate . They can't talk, because the time for eating dumplings is calculated in minutes. After this group of people finish eating, they must quickly go to shifts and eat the next group of people.
This is a new diagnosis of coronary pneumonia in the emergency department of the First Medical Center of the General Hospital of the Chinese People's Liberation Army. This is the New Year's Eve of the medical staff on duty.
Shu Chun cried. She didn't know that her mother was crying in another room.
January 25
In the early morning of the Chinese New Year, Shu Chun called Wang Huan and said bluntly, at this time, I should go back. Wang Huan immediately responded: I was about to tell you, I also think we should go back. The two girls hit it off, stopped their vacation and booked a ticket back to the hospital.
At this time, the hospital's notice arrived, requiring all medical personnel to stop vacations and return to their posts without special circumstances.
The military order is like a mountain. They immediately booked a ticket back to Wuhan. They want to make it simple: Wuhan ’s Lihan channel has been closed, but access should be possible. Shu Chun planned to take the high-speed rail from Nanchang, and Wang Huan decided to take a plane. However, as soon as the booking information was sent out, their mobile phones showed news of high-speed rail tickets and air ticket cancellations. This is how to do? Wang Huan said arrogantly, then take a long-distance bus, don't just work hard, just carry it.
The two girls split up again and called a colleague in Wuhan. The result of the confirmation was: the high-speed highway was closed in Hubei, and the long-distance bus to Wuhan was stopped. Private cars are not allowed in or out.
On this day, when the two girls were sizzling on the Internet and calling around to find the return car, a tense joint logistics support task was being carried out in Shenyang United Logistics Support Center.
At 10:00 am, a storage and supply base in Shenyang Lianqin Security Center received an urgent assignment of 10,000 sets of C-level protective clothing by a superior. With an order, officers and men operated in multiple ways: some personnel quickly entered the warehouse to release supplies, some personnel arranged the vehicles for loading and transfer, and some personnel urgently coordinated the resident railway transportation department to open emergency channels. Several people flew on a timeline.
An hour later, the inventory was sorted out of the warehouse in order. Immediately, the convoy responsible for delivery started on the road. At 13:26, the train slowly entered the platform, and the long-awaited transport officers and men swarmed up, carrying them on their shoulders, and loading all the materials into the car in just 10 minutes. At 13:43, the trains rushed to the front line of the epidemic with these C-class protective clothing.
On the same day, another team of special personnel from Lianqin Security Center sent 200,000 medical protective masks, 5,000 pairs of protective glasses, 5000 sets of male and female doctors' work clothes, medical protective clothing and medical isolation gowns from Guilin and Zhengzhou Lianqin Security Center. Each 2000 sets, a total of 219,000 sets of 6 varieties of urgently needed sanitary protection quilts were installed, and they also rushed to Wuhan in an emergency.
At 11:20 on the 26th, the first batch of joint security support troops arrived in Wuhan smoothly.
Unfortunately, neither of the girls had this information. Under the conditions at the time, they could not get on such a "wind ride". The two girls discussed the action over the phone: Wang Huan first came to Yifeng, and after the two met, they moved on to Wuhan together. Two girls together are always better than one.
"You start early tomorrow morning, the sooner the better. I'm afraid we're in control here as well."
Shu Chun's analysis was correct. On the 27th day after their departure, on January 27, the Yifeng County Epidemic Prevention Joint Control Command issued a notice that the county's buses and taxis were suspended.
January 26
In the early morning of winter in the northeast, water drips into ice. Wang Huan got up at 5 o'clock and got on the plane from Changchun to Nanchang. After three and a half hours of flight, at 12 noon, Wang Huan arrived in Nanchang. She didn't care about eating and called a taxi and rushed from the airport to Yifeng County.
At 14:30, Wang Huan arrived in Yifeng and met Shu Chun. This is the second day. There are almost no pedestrians on the road. The two girls, WeChat colleagues, said that everyone is busy on the job and it is impossible to go out.
They called again to the head nurse. The head nurse must be very busy, and her voice was dumb: "I can't figure it out without a car!" The phone hung up.
There are no roads in the sky, and there are more than 300 kilometers of road. How can I get there?
A moment later, the head nurse's WeChat came again: "You find a way to find a car and lean forward. When you get to the edge of Wuhan City, we will pick it up. The other comrades who came back will also solve the problem."
They decided to book a car online and chartered a car to Wuhan. The news came out. After waiting for a long time, only one person answered on the Internet, but the price offered by the other side still scared them: it costs 3,000 yuan to pack a car. They talked about it, no matter what, they must go back today. Two people immediately replied: OK, it was 3,000 yuan. Go right away.
But the other party stopped talking. Wang Huanliang said in identity: We are nurses at Wuhan Military Hospital, and we went back to perform the task. We can show you proof.
The other party gave up.
An hour passed and no one answered. The two were hungry, but no one had the mood to eat. At present, the epidemic in Wuhan is serious. Who would take them out? Even if someone is willing to accept the order, it will definitely be stopped by the control personnel on the road.
Regulators? Yes indeed! The two jumped together: road management must be solved by the management department! Having trouble finding the police! Yes, we go to the police!
15:30. The two dragged their suitcases and walked for almost an hour before finally finding a police station.
There was only one police officer in the duty room, and they carefully explained the situation. The two girls said firmly: We must go back. And as soon as possible! The hospital needs us.
The police couldn't say anything more, and gave a reply: the personnel control is the decision of the county headquarters. I have no right to make decisions in a township police station. In this way, I report to a superior.
After asking the address of the county public security bureau, the two girls left without any hesitation with their luggage. Looking at the back of the two men, the police are still feeling: two young girls who are so fragile will go to such a dangerous place, where do they have so much courage?
16:30. Shu Chun and Wang Huan continued to walk, both of them were too tired. They were overjoyed when they saw a shared electric car at a street crossing. Fortunately, the suitcases were not large. They rode electric bicycles and sailed all the way to the county public security bureau.
The comrades of the county public security bureau have received the report. They arranged the two girls to sit and rest in an empty room, and then reported to the Yifeng County Epidemic Prevention Command. Half an hour before work, this information was reported to the county government, county epidemic prevention center and county hospital.
Around 18:00, two men, one man and one woman, came in full-armored protective suits. They were from the county epidemic prevention center and the county hospital. The two exhausted girls then realized how much their actions had caused the reaction.
The comrades of the county epidemic prevention center and the county hospital gave them a careful physical examination, and everything was normal. Everyone was relieved. Two box lunches were delivered, and the two girls were hungry and ate deliciously. During this period, they learned that this morning, the Information Office of the State Council held a press conference on joint prevention and control of the new crown pneumonia epidemic.
When the two girls ate, the leaders of the Yifeng County Government and the County Public Security Bureau held a simple and effective meeting. They decided to escort the nurses of the two military hospitals to Wuhan. Yifeng County Public Security Bureau issued a special certificate letter, arranging a police car to escort the two to Hubei.
The two of them immediately reported the progress to the head of their hospital department. The leader of the department said that it was great. I will report to the hospital leader immediately. We will find a way to meet you at the highway junction. be careful on the road! Take care!
At 18:30, two police officers selected by the County Public Security Bureau drove up. They got in the car and set off. During this period, the leaders of the Public Security Bureau also coordinated and communicated with the traffic police along the road. Police cars flowed smoothly. At 22:30, the car arrived at the Wudong Expressway intersection in the suburbs of Wuhan. Further down is Wuhan. Because the county public security bureau and the county epidemic prevention headquarters have already contacted the traffic police in Hubei in advance, the transfer work is not costly.
At 23:00, a vehicle dispatched by the Central Theater General Hospital arrived at the Wudong Expressway intersection. When seeing people wearing military uniforms, Shu Chun and Wang Huan shouted: It's us! We are here!
At 23:30, nurses Shu Chun and Wang Huan returned to the Central Theater of the Central Theater.
I measured the route of the two girls returning to the fighting post, from Siping to Yifeng and then to Wuhan. They took nearly 18 hours to travel the longest distance. The straight line distance on the map was more than 2200 kilometers.
The outpatient building of the hospital is brightly lit. Although it is late at night, there are still crowded patients here. All the medical staff come and rush to trot all the way.
At 10 o'clock, the two nurses who had changed their work clothes stood together at the clinic, reporting to the anxious department leader who was waiting for them:
Reporting director, nurses Shu Chun and Wang Huan return to the team!
