Three days on New Year's Day passed in a hurry.

The first snow of 2003 finally came.

The snowflakes flying in the sky made the sky and the earth suddenly change a color.

I have to stay up in school for a week and a half, and then after the final exam, I can go home for the holidays. The heavy snow covered the ground and the temperature dropped, suppressing the hormones produced by Zhang Tan's young body. Except for classes, he spends the rest of his time hiding in a rental house where he has been warm with radiators.

Playing the piano and singing, writing and homework, and sit-ups, I really quieted down.

Once in a while, when you're tired, just watch the news and relax.

However, watching the news on this day made him frown. Because of news reports that there is a serious respiratory infection suspected of pneumonia in Guangdong, several medical workers have been infected. The news was unremarkable, and seemed to be just a casual report of the oddity.

But it suddenly made Zhang Tan's scalp explode, and he felt numb.

Because the case reported in the news looks too much like the SARS he experienced in his previous life. The SARS epidemic in the last life almost paralyzed China for half a year, and the Minister of Health and the mayor of Beiqi resigned because of SARS.

After Zhang Tan was reborn, he recorded this major event in his notebook, but after a long time, he gradually forgot about SARS.

Indeed, SARS was a national shock at that time, and everyone was in danger. But Anwei is not the hardest-hit area of SARS, and no one around Zhang Tan has contracted SARS, there are only a few cases in the province, and I have never heard that Anwei died in SARS, and they were all cured. So the sense of crisis caused by this incident to Zhang Tan was not enough.

At that time, Zhang Tan was still young, a little kid who was only a sophomore in high school, and he only remembered that it was lively, only the adults were all nervous. It is also a series of chaos such as snatching banlan root, vinegar, salt, injecting globulin, wearing masks, not going out, and so on. Even the entrance exam that year didn't even take physical education.

"SARS is still coming."

Zhang Tan grabbed his hair and felt the force majeure of the general trend of history.

He wanted to change, but he couldn't do anything about it.

Because of the outbreak of SARS, in addition to being relatively contagious, a large part of the reason was that the government did not pay attention to it at that time, and after receiving the report, it did not control and isolate the flow of people at the first time, resulting in the spread of the epidemic from Guangdong. When SARS also broke out in Beiqi and the World Health Organization reported it, the government began to respond in a panic.

"All I can do is post an appeal on the Internet, right? And the effect is almost zero. ”

Having said that, Zhang Tan still anonymously posted several posts on forums such as Tianya, reprinting reports on the news, reminding everyone to pay attention to prevention, and to go out less and meet strangers. However, it is obvious that this newly registered trumpet post is more like a gossip to confuse the public, and several forums directly deleted Zhang Tan's account, and no one liked the undeleted posts.

It doesn't help.

Posting, you can only make your conscience feel better.

And Zhang Tan is not sure what the country's response will be this time.

Maybe we can avoid the crisis.

……

Zhang Tan searches for news about SARS every day.

But there isn't much of this kind of news.

I don't know if SARS hasn't broken out yet, or if it's been covered up, and when Zhang Tan successfully finished the exam at school, nothing happened. packed up his things, Zhang Tan returned home that afternoon, and reminded his parents again that there was an outbreak of infectious diseases in Guangdong, and it was best to close the Internet café at home.

Zhang Quanshun and Tan Mingxia didn't believe it at first, but a few days later, the National Center for Disease Control went to the scene for guidance and named the patient atypical pneumonia, and a little news came out.

When Zhang Tan persuaded his parents to close the Internet café again, although it was unsuccessful, he received some results, that is, his parents decided to hand over the Internet café to a few cashier network administrators, and they did not go to the Internet café.

"You kid, the infectious disease over there in Guangdong, what do you want us to worry about, isn't there a country when something happens?" Tan Mingxia also complained.

In short, this New Year was successfully spent in Zhang Tan's worries.

The haze of SARS did not envelop many places, only in a few places in Guangdong, and there may be some tension. Elsewhere, what should be celebrated continues to be celebrated, because the government doesn't say it, and no one knows about it. There is basically nothing unusual in the entire Heqi City, but Zhang Tan still does not dare to relax in the slightest, and has prepared many health defense measures at home.

I don't want to go out more during the Chinese New Year.

Who knows if there will be a SARS patient running over from the Guangdong side.

Prevention is better than prevention, it is not easy to live again, and live a high-quality life, Zhang Tan does not want to die.

In this tense environment, his seventh volume of "Shooting to the Legend of Heroes" was put on the shelves on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year. He has now begun to work on his next work, "The Condor Heroes", which has already conceived the outline.

Jin Yong's Condor Trilogy, "Dragon Babu", "Smiling Proud Jianghu", "The Legend of Deer and Ding", this is a novel that Zhang Tan has a very deep memory, with sufficient help from film and television and novel memory, and it is not difficult to write. Other novels are not good, and the memory of many plots is seriously lost, so you can only integrate some classic passages into other novels.

Now Zhang Tan's fame is on the rise, and he has the posture of becoming a god in one fell swoop, and it is most important to make persistent efforts to stabilize the godhead. And he also has a hunch that he won't be able to write novels for a long time. After entering high school and entering a film and television school, and systematically learning the knowledge of directing, he will definitely develop as a director.

So take advantage of the past few years to write the most classic novels one by one.

For other classics, the only thing is to write a script and so on, and shoot it yourself or find someone else to shoot it.

……

The weather in the first month of the lunar calendar is cold. The People's Festival and the Lantern Festival are separated by one day.

After the Lantern Festival, the school opened, and the school was relatively closed, and Zhang Tan couldn't think of a reason not to go, so he could only continue to go to school.

"If you can go to the Internet café, don't go, aren't a few network managers very busy, the salary is high, and you can spend a while at home." Now it is getting more and more serious in Guangdong, three or four hundred cases have been found, five people have died, and even doctors have been infected more than 100 people. ”

Before leaving, Zhang Tan once again reminded his parents and told his sister, who was studying medicine, to stay away from SARS and pay attention to safety.

Although the SARS epidemic was concealed and has not attracted everyone's attention, after Zhang Tan's rendering, and there are indeed some relevant reports in Guangdong, Zhang Quanshun, Tan Mingxia, and Zhang Yan still listened to Zhang Tan's words. As for Lao Zhang's family, they are all in Gangji Town, a small rural town, and the probability of contracting the disease is basically close to zero.

Rural towns and cities have low population mobility, and infectious diseases are not easily contagious.

In the blink of an eye, it's March.

The last volume of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was published, and the publishing house was preparing to arrange a book signing meeting in Huainan, and "Condor Shooting" sold particularly well in Huainan, second only to the sales figures of Hehuai. Of course, Zhang Tan decisively refused, others didn't know anything about SARS, but he knew it clearly.

If you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what if, if you get infected, even if you are cured, there will be various sequelae, and the whole person will be ruined.

In this regard, Anwei Literature and Art Publishing House was still a little dissatisfied, and felt that Zhang Tan did not cooperate with the propaganda work.

However, after a few days, the leaders of the publishing house will no longer propose such activities as book signings.

The World Health Organization issued a global warning on March 12, saying that SARS has spread in Guangdong, Hanoi and Xiangxiang, and the Ministry of Health cannot hide it anymore. The epidemic could only be announced to the public, and in a hurry, the response was out of balance, which led to the sudden arrival of the SARS panic.
