This Spring Festival is a different year.
There is also a different way for the general secretary to communicate with grassroots cadres and the masses in a different way-video connection.

Who is on the other end of the video link?
Yu Shihuan is the Director of the Department of Respiratory Medicine at the First Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University.
His daily schedule is very fixed: morning meeting at eight o'clock in the morning and ward rounds at nine o'clock.
This hospital is the Heilongjiang Provincial New Crown Intensive Treatment Center.
In order to treat as many critically ill patients as possible, the hospital adopts the "one bed for the whole hospital" admission model, and the wards of orthopedics, pediatrics and even obstetrics and gynecology are all used.
These are also within the scope of Yu Shihuan's guided treatment.
After checking the room in the morning, the mobile phone showed that he had walked more than 10,000 steps.

Yu Shihuan is an expert in respiratory medicine who has practiced medicine for more than 30 years.
After the outbreak in Wuhan, he led 45 medical staff from the First Hospital of Harbin Medical University to rush to the West Hospital of Wuhan Union Medical College Hospital.
During the more than two months in Wuhan, they have accumulated valuable treatment experience.
Now, the epidemic prevention and control has entered a new stage, and the focus of prevention and control has shifted from infection prevention to health care and severe disease prevention. Yu Shihuan and his colleagues dare not slack off at all.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the Tarim Oilfield deep in the Taklamakan Desert was still shrouded in the mist of dawn.
The outside temperature is only minus 20 degrees Celsius.
Tian Meixia, a 24-year-old metering engineer, started daily pipeline inspections.
When she was five years old, Tian Meixia came to live in Korla with her parents.
When she was a child, she passed by the oilfield base countless times, and the words "Tarim Oilfield" were always shining in her memory.
In 2020, Tian Meixia graduated from Northeast Petroleum University and chose to return to the desert to join the Tarim Oilfield.
She said that it's not that she doesn't know the loneliness of sticking to the desert, but she just thinks that "doing this job is very cool".

Lu Dechuan from Ma'anshan, Anhui, is a well-known "King of Southern Cuisine" in Beijing's Xinfadi market. His main products are lentils, green beans, green peppers, sharp peppers and other varieties.
From October to May of the following year alone, his turnover can reach 200 to 300 million yuan.
In the new year, it will be Lu Dechuan's 60th birthday.
He said that he has stayed in Xinfadi for half his life. He has been here for 28 years, and he has never returned to his hometown during the Spring Festival.

After three years of the epidemic, the memories are bitter and sad.
In June 2020, Xinfadi was temporarily sealed off due to the epidemic, and the purchased vegetables had to be sealed up on the spot, watching them all rot in the car.
Later, when the merchant subsidy was distributed, Rude said that he didn't ask for a penny.
He said, "Xinfadi has made me a success. We can solve it ourselves without bothering the market and the government."
Today, Lu Dechuan feels "reliable".
"I used to dare not buy goods because I was afraid of being blocked on the road or in the market. Now, these worries are gone."

On the morning of January 18, Yu Shihuan and 20 colleagues from the hospital came to the nurse station of the Department of Respiratory Medicine. Tian Meixia and 40 other workers gathered at the first station of the West-East Gas Pipeline of Tarim Oilfield Company. Lu Dechuan and Xinfadi Many merchants and the masses in the wholesale market gathered in the open-air trading area of the first vegetable area.
At this moment, although they are separated by thousands of kilometers, the screen in front of them leads to the same place - the East Hall of the Great Hall of the People.

a special encounter
That morning, there were people from all over the world who had a video connection with General Secretary Xi Jinping.
At 5:30 in the morning, the Fuzhou Social Welfare Institute, the apartment for the elderly on the 9th floor, the room lights were turned on one after another.
82-year-old Liu Xiaolan started to get up and freshen up as usual.
"My wife is gone, and I live alone at home. I'm very lonely, but I don't want to trouble the children." After the Spring Festival in 2018, Liu Xiaolan came to the orphanage, and it has been five years in a blink of an eye.
In addition to having a special escort every day and fresh three dishes and one soup, what the elderly are most satisfied with is the various activities organized by the courtyard.
"We can do handicrafts, learn sign language, sing songs, watch movies, talk about the world, and every day is very fulfilling."
△In the welfare home, the elderly gathered in the handicraft room and completed each piece of handicraft work under the guidance of social workers.

On this day, the courtyard organized a special Spring Festival event and invited everyone to participate.
Elder Liu Xiaolan deliberately put on a red down jacket and a red scarf.
At ten o'clock in the morning, in the meeting room of the orphanage, when the figure of General Secretary Xi Jinping appeared on the big screen, the elderly realized how "special" this Spring Festival event was.

On the same day, Gao Shan, the head of the passenger workshop on duty at Zhengzhou East Railway Station, saw the general secretary through a video connection, and he couldn't hide his excitement.
As a "post-90s", her work includes being on duty at the service desk, answering passengers' inquiries, and collecting lost items.
From the departure of the first train at 5 a.m. to the arrival of the last train at 1 a.m., "there are a large number of inquiries from passengers every day, and there is hardly a minute of stopping."
During the epidemic prevention and control period, the work pace of Gao Shan and his colleagues slowed down.
As one of the largest high-speed rail stations in the country, Zhengzhou East Railway Station had less than 10,000 passengers at its lowest point.

Today, the popularity of the train station has returned, and the passenger flow has grown to more than 100,000 people every day.
Seeing the busier and more tired waiting hall once deserted, Gao Shan said, "This makes me feel more fulfilled and full of positive energy."

Before six o'clock in the morning, there were bursts of cooking smoke rising from the misty village.
Chen Jiliang, the operator of the farmhouse, lit a fire with charcoal and began to prepare the roasted whole lamb ordered by the guests.
Shiyi Qiang Village is located in Beichuan Qiang Autonomous County, Mianyang, Sichuan.

In 2013, Chen Jiliang, who had been working as a bricklayer all year round, returned to his hometown to start a business and opened a farmhouse for husband and wife.
There are fresh fruits such as loquats and plums in summer, and New Year’s goods such as bacon and pork ribs in winter.
Last year, the couple earned more than 200,000 yuan, which is more than what he earned in the past four or five years of working outside.
As the end of the year approaches, Chen Jiliang and the farmhouse operators in the village welcome a large wave of tourists before the festival.
What the villagers did not expect was that the general secretary made a video connection to six locations across the country on the eve of the Spring Festival, including Shiyi Village.

The general secretary asked us these things
On the morning of January 18, in the East Hall of the Great Hall of the People.
General Secretary Xi Jinping visited and expressed condolences to grassroots cadres and the masses via video link, and extended good wishes for the New Year to people of all ethnic groups across the country.
The General Secretary's first connection was the First Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University where Yu Shihuan was located.
The general secretary inquired in detail about the situation of fever clinic reception, intensive care, drug allocation and patient recovery after the optimization and adjustment of prevention and control measures.
The person in charge of the hospital reported to the General Secretary that the number of critically ill COVID-19 patients admitted here peaked on December 31 last year, and then declined slowly.
At present, the utilization rate of ICU beds in the hospital is 85%, which can meet the treatment needs of critically ill patients.
Hearing these situations, the general secretary was very pleased.

The general secretary communicated online with the 83-year-old patient, Uncle Qi.
On the 7th of this month, Uncle Qi was transferred to Yu Shihuan's Department of Respiratory Medicine for treatment due to severe pneumonia and respiratory failure.
After careful treatment by Yu Shihuan and his colleagues, Uncle Qi will be discharged from the hospital before the Spring Festival.
The general secretary wished him a speedy recovery and discharge from the hospital, and went home to celebrate the New Year happily.
During the connection, the general secretary specifically mentioned that it is necessary to strengthen the care and love for medical staff, and Yu Shihuan's heart warmed after hearing this.

During the video connection with the Fuzhou Social Welfare Institute, the general secretary asked about living and medical conditions, epidemic prevention and control, and vaccination of the elderly.
The person in charge of the orphanage told the general secretary that 203 elderly people will spend the Spring Festival in the orphanage this year.
Elderly Liu Xiaolan is one of them. She feels that staying in the courtyard for the New Year is more at ease.

As a representative of the elderly in the hospital, Liu Xiaolan introduced her daily life to the general secretary. For example, square dances are organized here every week.

"Hello, General Secretary!" Greeted from the oil workers in the Tarim Oilfield, with a powerful voice.
Behind them is a spectacular oil and gas pipeline.
Can everyone take turns during the holidays?
Are you all ready for the New Year's Eve?
During the Spring Festival, how do you ensure safe production and ensure a stable gas supply?
The general secretary asked very carefully.
Tian Meixia stood in the first row. When the general secretary asked about the New Year's goods, the microphone was handed to her.
She didn't expect that the general secretary was like the elders in the family, thinking about how they celebrate the new year.

In addition to her job, Tian Meixia is also involved in trade union affairs.
She is making arrangements for the staff of the station during the Chinese New Year.
During the Spring Festival this year, 280 people stayed at their posts for the New Year.
Tian Meixia told the general secretary that they have prepared sumptuous dishes and rich cultural and entertainment activities. Everyone will watch the Spring Festival Gala together, make dumplings, and eat New Year's Eve dinner.
The general secretary urged everyone to stand on guard and provide good energy to ensure that the people have a happy and peaceful Spring Festival.

General Secretary's words give us confidence and strength
Half of the six locations that General Secretary Xi Jinping connected this time are the front lines for ensuring energy supply, market supply, and transportation.
He visited and condoled not only the grassroots workers at specific locations, but also the cadres and workers on the entire front.
In order to ensure the Spring Festival transportation, the Zhengzhou East Railway Station where Gaoshan is located has increased the number of trips, reaching more than 700 trips every day.
As the on-duty station master of the passenger transport workshop, her work is even busier.
During the Spring Festival this year, Gao Shan stayed alone in Zhengzhou for the New Year.
On the first day of the new year, she will spend the first day of the new year with passengers traveling from south to north at the service desk.

During the video connection with Zhengzhou East Railway Station, the general secretary said that for a long time, the cadres and workers of the transportation system have worked hard and made contributions.
The general secretary's words made Gao Shan feel the value of his work even more.
"To protect the reunion of thousands of families, all the sacrifices are worthwhile."

Facing the merchants and the masses in the Beijing Xinfadi Wholesale Market, the general secretary said that "vegetable baskets", "rice bags" and "fruit plates" are related to thousands of households and are the most basic livelihood of the people.
He asked to strengthen the production and sales of important livelihood commodities such as grain, oil, meat, eggs, milk, fruits, vegetables and fungi to ensure sufficient quantity, rich variety, assured quality, and stable prices.
Lu Dechuan, the "King of Southern Cuisine" who listened to the general secretary's speech, noticed that the general secretary added "bacteria" after "grain, oil, meat, eggs, milk, fruits and vegetables".
In his view, this reflects the importance that the General Secretary attaches to further enriching the "vegetable basket".

According to Lu De's legend, every merchant in the market is a "guardian" who guarantees supply and price stability.
As the Spring Festival approaches, his own purchase volume has nearly doubled, from 100 tons per day to 180 tons per day now, while the price is basically the same as usual.

"Last year we had more than 200,000 tourists, and the per capita income of the whole village was more than 40,000 yuan!" At the scene of the video connection in Shiyi Qiang Village, the village party secretary reported the good news to the general secretary.
The general secretary said that in the new era of rural revitalization, we must do a good job in characteristic agricultural products and rural tourism. You are a good example.

In the new year, Chen Jiliang plans to rebuild his small courtyard and further expand the scale.
At the scene of the connection, the general secretary said that after the optimization and adjustment of the epidemic prevention and control measures, I am most worried about the rural areas and the majority of farmers.
Chen Jiliang told "Shizheng News Eye", "Our family is healthy, and there are medicines in the village." In his opinion, if we do a good job in epidemic prevention and control, villagers and tourists can feel more at ease.

"Strengthen your confidence, shake your spirits, work together and work hard"
East, West, North, South, and China share this time.
After video connection with the six locations one by one, the split screen is switched to the same screen.
General Secretary Xi Jinping delivered an important speech to the cadres and masses in the six places.
In previous years, it was a walk at the grassroots level, but this year it was changed to a video connection. The general secretary talked about the reason.
He said that this year, the method of video connection is adopted, and there are more places to watch, including east, west, north, south, and central. Although separated from the screen, I can still feel the strong flavor of the new year all over the country, and feel the happiness and joy of everyone. My heart is always connected with everyone and the hearts of people of all ethnic groups in the country!
The general secretary said, "My greatest wish is that everyone can have a happy New Year."
When leaving the old and welcoming the new, the general secretary praised the past year, "Everyone is amazing"; he also cheered for the new year, "I hope everyone will strengthen their confidence, cheer up, work together, and work hard in the new year. There will be greater achievements and greater gains!"
In the new year, Yu Shihuan, a doctor at the First Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University, has his own plans.
Since the outbreak of the epidemic, many academic exchanges have been suspended, and he hopes that he can resume his previous learning state as soon as possible.
He said that only when medicine continues to develop and his own medical skills continue to improve, can he benefit more patients.
Liu Xiaolan, an elderly person from the Fuzhou Social Welfare Institute, returned to her room and found that the word "Fu" had been pasted on the window.
"In the new year, I hope that the country will be good, and we will be well. Our big family and small family are in harmony, and the old people will spend their old age safely and happily together."
Tian Meixia, a "post-90s" girl from the Tarim Oilfield, said that looking at the steady flow of gas being exported every day, she felt very proud when she thought that she and her colleagues ensured the lives of more than 400 million downstream residents.
"I didn't dedicate my youth, but Tarim lightened my youth."
The general secretary encouraged the Xinfadi wholesale market to work hard on expanding the supply of goods, enriching varieties, and ensuring quality, which made the merchant Lu Dechuan more motivated.
This Spring Festival, he will work with more than 2,000 left-behind merchants to provide a steady stream of fresh supplies for the tables of the citizens of the capital.
Gao Shan, head of the passenger transport workshop on duty at Zhengzhou East Railway Station, is from Xinxiang. Although it is not far from Zhengzhou, she can only go home after the end of the Spring Festival travel season on February 15.
She said, "After the epidemic is over, the one thing I want to do the most is to make time to go home and have a look."
"The general secretary also said that bacon is delicious, eat more!" Chen Jiliang, a farmer in Shiyi Qiang Village, Sichuan, has been immersed in the excitement of meeting the general secretary. "The moss tea here, the general secretary said that he has never tasted it. General Secretary Chance came to our village to taste our specialties and see the new look of our village."
