Chapter 39: Appreciation of American Literature (2)

Stand at the window and look at the street

My daughter's home is on a high-rise building, and there is a crossroads below, standing at the window, you can not only see the bustling streets, clear days, but also the winding Wei River, and even the shadowy buildings in the Economic Development Zone on the north bank of the Wei River. I don't go out at home, but every day I stand at the window and look down and into the distance for an hour.

On the streets, on the sidewalks on both sides of the street, there are significantly more parked cars than before, the number of cars running has dropped sharply and the traffic lights are still flowing, and the traffic lights are strictly fulfilling their duties. The shops are open, the streets are sparsely populated, and when you enter the store to buy things, you can take them away with a purpose, and rarely watch and linger in the past. Most of the restaurants did not have an accurate time for the switches, and they were completely closed later. I noticed that the door of the "Handmade Noodles" restaurant I frequented was closed and not opened. Looking at the city, the residential areas of the buildings are one by one, the surface is quiet, and in each room, like me, the family obeys the rules and the law. The terrible epidemic is under strict control. At night, the lights are still bright, but there is no crowd to decorate. The doors of the pharmacy were open, and the neon letters of the central hospital in the distance were shining, indicating that the angels in white were ready to fight at any time. At the beginning of February, cases were confirmed in Weinan City, and designated hospitals became the focus of attention. The angels in white fight the virus day and night.

On the Internet information, there is no lack of resentment, sarcasm and scolding of the two characters in Wuhan who love wild meat and tear bat meat, the horror and worry of the people who have entered Wuhan, and the anger and hatred of some ignorant and fearless people who run around and cause illness, and scold very ugly words.

Standing at the window looking at the street, watching the city, imagining in the gaze, the poems quietly flowed out.

Far from the hustle and bustle of the past,

Lack of hilarious and bustling fashion.

The streets and alleys that seem deserted,

Sparse and rushed,

The mask covers the face,

What is left is a cautious eye.

The epidemic hides in the gutter and snickers,

Dreams are raging and rampant.

Everything is changing,

It's all about one goal,

Mobilize the whole people and strictly control and prevent it.

There is movement in the stillness, ready to go,

Always ready to rush into battle!

The whole country opened its net,

The virus must be buried completely.

The city is tormented in the smoke of gunpowder,

Gather the strength of unity.

After the baptism of war,

It's bound to be a beautiful new outfit!

The Chinese New Year of 2020 is the most unusual New Year we have ever had. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Secretary ** presided over a ***** meeting and made strategic arrangements for the prevention and control of the new crown pneumonia epidemic. The epidemic is an order, and prevention and control is a responsibility! For a time, the people of the whole country canceled their visits to relatives and friends, and began a vigorous battle of epidemic prevention and control.

The second day of the first lunar month, 9:43 a.m

Secretary Yao Le presided over the briefest deployment meeting of ten minutes in the village department, and the difference between the usual is that the cadres of the two committees and seven team leaders who participated in the meeting moved quickly, and after half an hour, the five key intersections of the village were all closed, and the personnel on duty were in place, with high efficiency and fast action, unprecedented. It reflects the remarkable results of the theme education of "not forgetting the original intention and remembering the mission".

As a witness and participant in the past month, I have witnessed the township and village cadres leading by example, perseverance, and the dedication of the personnel on duty. Because they wore red armbands, ordinary villagers took responsibility and had the courage to take responsibility, and witnessed the strong support and cooperation of the people of Wuxing for the work of the village. In particular, there are some touching people and things that need to be shared with you, and I hope you will remember them, those who have contributed silently.

The hardest part of this epidemic is the cadres

Zhang Li, deputy secretary of the town party committee, is a young girl, but she has courage and perseverance that is not commensurate with her age. Since the beginning of the Lunar New Year, I must go to the village once a day, either to convey the latest instructions and requirements of the town, or to inspect and guide the prevention and control work in the village, often inspect the whole village, register the returnees in the first row, be on duty at the checkpoint, and personally register the personnel and vehicle information. Comrade Zhang Bingcang, a cadre of Bao Village, appeared in the village on time at 11 o'clock every day, and was only absent for one day, which was on the 23rd, he was on duty outside the ** gate, it can be said that he has been sticking to the front line, conscientious and conscientious about his work, and keeping all the situation in the village in mind. After the water in the village was cut off, he used his water card to pour drinking water from the town. For the past month, our village has been eating the water on his card. In order to protect the water and soil of our Wuxing Village, the masses have worked hard for their health and well-being, and they have fulfilled their responsibilities wholeheartedly, which reflects the mind of a Communist Party member.

Our secretary Yao Le devoted himself to the front line of epidemic prevention and control, as the commander-in-chief of the Wuxing Theater, with the courage to command the battle, strategize, take charge of the overall situation, and build an iron wall of epidemic defense in our village. Caring for the masses and loving management, we will provide subsidies for the bereavement of the bereavement homes, and send masks and disinfectants that are in short supply to solve practical difficulties. In order to reduce the travel of the villagers, they did everything they could to meet the needs of many people who needed to buy small things to return home. The implementation of the policy is not only serious and serious, but also lacks human care, and it has sacrificed itself for the sake of the masses and resolved many contradictions. It also reflected its responsibility and responsibility in the face of the national disaster, and paid a special party fee of 3,000 yuan to the party organization, which has a variety of considerations and good intentions, and does not want everyone to follow the trend and make it difficult for them, nor does they want to increase the involuntary burden among the cadres. So far in the epidemic, a very handsome young man, he has no time to shave his beard when he grows long, and he is still busy on the front line.

The masses are at home as a contribution, and the cadres are busy on the front line. Our security director Sun Shengli, is the first member of the two committees in our village to donate a precedent, since he donated 200 yuan, all the cadres responded positively, Tian Baoshan, deputy secretary followed, donated 500 yuan, two minutes, all the in-service cadres donated. All our cadres are sincere and united, no one has taken a day off in the past month, has missed a single attendance, every day is busy, many times missed meals, hungry to make a bowl of instant noodles, thirsty to drink a glass of boiled water, everyone is highly conscious of discipline, highly responsible for hard work, highly enthusiastic front-line duty. Our Comrade Guo Yonghong insisted on sitting on duty until he was the last to leave; Sun Ke, director of our supervisory committee, went to the duty station to stick to his post after handling the affairs of the village; and I, as a clerk who had just taken office, was even more busy keeping records and conscientiously and meticulously keeping all kinds of accounts.

At 12:40 p.m. on the eighth day of the first lunar month, all the cadres of the members of the two committees solemnly swore an oath at the Samsung duty point: I am a member of the Communist Party, and I take an oath. Stick to the front line of epidemic prevention and control, have the responsibility to defend the land, take responsibility for the land, do your duty to defend the land, the epidemic will not retreat, I will not retreat, and vow to work hard, hard, and hard again for the safety and health of the Wuxing people, until complete victory!

At present, it is a time to inspect, inspect, and identify cadres. I don't want to take up more space on these deeds here. In the face of such an epidemic, how inconsistent is the cadre team with the advocacy of "going out less, wearing masks, washing hands frequently, and ventilating more". This group is a well-deserved "retrograde" in this battle, but we are tired but full, busy but happy.

The spontaneous consciousness of the masses gives us strength

In this people's war, three elderly people in our village unfortunately passed away, and the mourning home all understood the general situation, took the overall situation into account, reduced personnel, and handled the funeral simply, which gave us great support.
