When the "big commander" turns into a "big poke leader"

　　In the past, his image in people's hearts was Wu Song in "New Water Margin" and "Commander Meng" in "Langya Bang". Now, he wears a green vest and holds a loudspeaker to become a community volunteer.

Some people call him a "Wu Du head" who urges people to wear masks, or a "cute collar" who informs neighbors to do nucleic acid.

　　He is Chen Long, a native of Shanghai. When his hometown was battling the epidemic, he chose to overcome the difficulties with his neighbors as a volunteer.

　　After the volunteer's video was posted on the Internet, Chen Long was called "the most down-to-earth star" by netizens. He believes that choosing to become a volunteer is just a very common thing. Epidemic to the best of my ability.

　　After becoming a volunteer, the first task Chen Long received was to assist residents to complete nucleic acid testing, "First of all, we must call everyone down, each household is different, some children are taking online classes, some have not yet. When I got up, I went from house to house at first, but in order to improve efficiency, I simply rode a small motorcycle and ran around the community shouting.”

　　Recently, Chen Long has another identity - a hairdresser.

"In the beginning, I only cut my own children's hair, and other children wanted to cut their hair when they saw it, so I cut it together. Later, more and more people came to me for haircuts, from three-year-old children to seventy-year-olds, plus There are fifty or sixty people up."

　　Chen Long said with a smile that although he is not good at craftsmanship, everyone does not dislike it. Such a harmonious and warm interaction between neighbors also reminds me of the alley life when I was a child.

The young people actively participate in the front line of anti-epidemic support such as medical rescue and service guarantee. While contributing their strength, they also plant the seeds of goodness in the hearts of the next generation. .

　　Affected by the epidemic, Chen Long has not been able to start work for the time being. "Recently, I have been posting some short videos every day to share my life experience, and more importantly, to pass on an optimistic and positive attitude towards life to more people." Chen Long said that if Shanghai If the anti-epidemic theme can be put on the stage or screen, I want to play a volunteer and present heart-warming stories to the audience.

　　In film and television works, Chen Long has created many images of young people with a strong sense of justice, and according to his own understanding, "Youth are the most active and energetic social forces, and they should have a broad mind and a big heart."

foreign volunteers

Experience "a distant relative is worse than a near neighbor"

　　At the critical moment of Shanghai's epidemic prevention and control, many foreign volunteers also joined the community epidemic prevention volunteer team, and such a group of "special" figures contributed to the protection of Shanghai.

Le Gaixi, a French living in Shanghai, is one of them. She speaks fluent Chinese and recently became a community interpreter.

　　"There are some foreign residents in our community who have difficulties in communication. When they encounter problems in nucleic acid testing and group purchases, I will help them translate. I also signed up as a volunteer to assist in organizing antigen self-testing, nucleic acid testing and other work. ."

　　Le Gaixi said, "There are more than a dozen foreign residents in our community from France, the United States, Brazil and other countries. Although the current social software has translation functions, sometimes the translation results are not accurate enough, and it is easy to cause misunderstandings. These foreign residents pulled into the community chat group and translated the notice of the neighborhood committee in a timely manner so that they could understand the situation.”

　　"Choice is very important for young people and determines the future direction of life." Le Gaixi said that she chose to learn Chinese when she was in junior high school in France. This important choice established her fate with China in the future; Being a volunteer during the epidemic is also an important choice, which brings her closer to her neighbors and makes her feel more at home in the city of Shanghai.

　　"Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors", this is a simple life principle that Chinese people often talk about. The special anti-epidemic experience has made Le Gaixi have a deep understanding of this sentence.

　　"Once I used the oven to help a neighbor roast lamb, and he gave me a bottle of Coke. Although it was a very small thing, it was enough to pass the warmth."

　　Le Gaixi founded a company in Shanghai two years ago that focuses on Sino-French exchanges and outdoor activities, and organizes some offline and online activities related to Shanghai's history and culture, such as outdoor script killings, city walks, and company team building.

　　In Le Gaixi's eyes, the younger generation at home and abroad have too many future topics that they can and must face together, for example, "I hope that the epidemic will pass as soon as possible, and more foreign friends will come to Shanghai to explore the beauty of this city together. "
