China News Agency, Wuhan, April 4th (Reporter Zhang Qin and Ma Furong) The whistle blew and the river whimpered. The event of mourning the sacrifice of martyrs and deceased compatriots in the New Crown Pneumonia epidemic in Hubei Province and Wuhan City was held on the morning of the 4th in the Yuanyuan Plaza on the north bank of the Yangtze River.

At the beginning of the year of Gengzi, since the founding of New China, a major public health incident that has the fastest spread, the widest scope of infection, and the most difficult prevention and control has hit fiercely. As of April 3, 3,326 compatriots died of new crown pneumonia, including 2,567 in Wuhan.

Among them, there are ordinary people, there are doctors and nurses, as well as police officers and grassroots community workers ...

On the 4th Ching Ming Festival, China held a nationwide mourning event. In Wuhan, the center of the epidemic, the condolences are particularly heavy.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, a stern alarm sounded over the three towns of Wuhan, the whistle of the boats on the river surface rang, the street signal lights were collectively adjusted to red lights, and all vehicles on the road were stopped for 3 minutes. The Wuhan Metro was suspended at the same time, and all train passengers stood up in silence. As the siren sounded, drivers staying along Yanjiang Avenue honked the car horns, and the traffic police on the road took off their hats and stood up.

At this moment, time seems to freeze.

On the bank of the Yangtze River, above the Jianghanguan Building, the bright five-star red flag rose to the top of the pole, and then slowly lowered to the half flag position, to mourn the dead compatriots. In front of the Jianghanguan Building, the people spontaneously pulled up banners, and many people stopped in mourning holding chrysanthemums. The crowd mourning by the river couldn't help crying.

Wang Zhaohan, a 64-year-old member of the Changjiang Rescue Volunteer Team, stood in front of the Jianghanguan Building for a long time, and in this way bid farewell to Yu Guanrong, the founder of the rescue team and the eldest brother. "Brother Yu died unfortunately because of new crown pneumonia. Everyone is very sad." Wang Zhaohan said, on this special day, he came to the familiar Yangtze River and gave him a ride. He also hopes to remember those who fight for Wuhan Dead martyrs.

On this day, Wuhan ’s post-90s girl Anian (pseudonym) and her parents buried her grandmother ’s ashes in Biandanshan Cemetery. More than 40 days ago, An Nian, who also suffered from new coronary pneumonia, moved from Fangcai Hospital to Vulcan Hill Hospital to take care of the 89-year-old grandmother who was seriously ill. In the end, the grandmother still left, and Anian failed to take "Mom's Mom" ​​home with her.

"When my grandmother died, my mother failed to meet the last side, and many things she wanted to say did not have time to say." Anian said. Today, her mother specially wrote a letter and sent it to her grandmother.

In another four days, Wuhan will soon usher in "unblocking". When the factory's machinery began to roar, the pedestrians on the road gradually increased, and the familiar traffic was returning one after another ... A lot of people stayed in the early spring of 2020 forever.

Not far from the scene of the mourning ceremony, the endless stream of rivers seemed to be filled with infinite sorrow. (Finish)
