China News Agency reporter Xia Chunping
When the hour hand of the big bell on the top of the Jianghanguan Tower, which witnessed the centuries-old vicissitudes of Wuhan, points to zero on April 8, 2020, the 76-day control of the departure route from Han Dynasty is immediately lifted.
On the eve of the Spring Festival in the Gengzi year, China launched an unprecedented war on the prevention and control of a new coronary pneumonia epidemic. And Wuhan is the "storm eye" of this war. A pneumonia epidemic caused by the new crown virus was rapidly spreading across the city of Wuhan at that time. This city with a population of tens of millions is in the darkest moment of "the dark clouds overwhelming the city".
Seal a city and protect a country. Only by sealing the gates of Wuhan can the spread of the epidemic be blocked. On January 23, a "closing city" order closed all external traffic channels in Wuhan, known as the "nine provinces", and the former bustling city was almost closed.
Wuhan wins Hubei wins, Hubei wins nationwide wins. Wuhan's "unblocking" signifies that the spread of the local epidemic in China, with Wuhan as the main battlefield, has been basically blocked, the epidemic situation has achieved major stage results, and the economic and social order has been restored quickly.
Read through the 76-day answer sheet from "Fengcheng" to "Unblocking" in Wuhan, which is full of strength from top to bottom, internal and external forces, and concerted efforts. In short: the power of the people, the power of the country!
The tenacious support of the heroic people of the heroic city is the first force to restart the gate of the "closing city" of Wuhan. The "closure of the city" is a necessary act for "internal anti-proliferation and external anti-export". Ten million Wuhan citizens have made huge sacrifices and dedication for this purpose.
During the period of "closing the city", more than 60,000 local doctors in Wuhan and the medical team members from other places fought side by side to save the people from the fire and water, dissolve the people from the upside down, and fight the poisonous demon in Jiangcheng.
During the period of "closing the city", countless Wuhan grassroots cadres, police, volunteers, community workers, courier brothers, sanitation workers, and firefighters risked being infected by virulent infectious diseases. The city's operation and social order are orderly. More than 50,000 patients with new coronary pneumonia suffered from it. A group of cadres, civilian police and community workers were killed for the war epidemic, and more than 2,500 patients died unfortunately.
During the period of "closing the city", Wuhan citizens took care of the overall situation, understand the general situation, isolate the whole people, keep their walls intact, closed their feet in closed doors, 76 days of suffering, patience, restraint, and self-discipline. Rhythm.
It is precisely because of this sacrifice and dedication of the people of Wuhan that we have ushered in a better day of epidemic prevention and control; it has also won time and space for the epidemic prevention wars in provinces and cities outside Wuhan and Hubei.
The sea flows across to show the true character of the hero. In the face of this war of anti-epidemic, which was launched by the fierce, fast-spreading, wide-ranging infection, and difficult to prevent and control, it is necessary to push the city gates of Wuhan to be "sealed". It's obviously not enough to support and fight against each other. It needs another stronger hand to form a thunderous trend. This powerful hand is China's institutional advantage.
Any war is not just a contest of national strength. The advantages of the Chinese system are reflected in the concentration of power to do great things. After the outbreak of the New Coronary Pneumonia, General Secretary Xi Jinping attached great importance to it, personally commanded and deployed in person, presided over several meetings, listened to work reports, inspected and surveyed, made important instructions, and fully deployed the prevention and control of the outbreak. Under the centralized and unified leadership of the central government, the whole country is in the same boat together. It is difficult for one side and supported by the eight parties. It continues to deliver "human and material resources" and "grass and ammunition" to Wuhan's first line. Every effort should be made to protect.
On New Year's Eve, the first medical team arrived to support. Subsequently, 35,000 medical personnel from 314 medical teams from all provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities across the country went to Ronghan and arrived in Han Dynasty. They were dressed in white shirts and participated in this intense battle against time and race against diseases. Zhong Nanshan , Li Lanjuan, Wang Chen and other top infectious disease experts and academicians in China and even the world "retrograde" Jiangcheng "sitting in the clinic", saving tens of thousands of patients with new coronary pneumonia who are struggling to die.
During the period of "closing the city", medical equipment, protective equipment, medical equipment, meat, vegetables, fruits, grains and oils that were badly needed in Wuhan continued to flow from Tiannan to Beihai.
Just as the world authoritative medical journal British Lancet commented: No country except China can mobilize various resources at this speed. The speed and scale are rare in the world.
With the hearts of people together, Mount Tai moves. The power of the people, the power of the country, and the power of love work together to bring back to heaven; it has gathered 1.4 billion hands of the Chinese people, and it has become a city, thus pushing the gate of the "closing city" of the big rivers and big Wuhan.
