Chapter 39: A Thousand Trees and Flowers
Inscription: The most can't be said in the world
β’Wuhan has entered a very difficult critical juncture in the fight against the epidemic, there are a large number of suspected patients who need to be confirmed, many confirmed patients need beds, many serious patients who need urgent treatment, countless close contacts who need to be investigated, some medical staff have died or been infected on the front line, medical supplies and living supplies are still lacking, the lives of nearly 10 million residents after the lockdown must be guaranteed, how to meet the normal medical treatment of non-COVID patients? How can many social problems be eliminated? How to overcome the practical difficulties of frontline workers in epidemic prevention and control, including civil servants and community workers, and solve them in a timely manner? How to ensure the logistics service of the national emergency medical rescue team of tens of thousands of other provinces and troops rushing to help Wuhan? How can the enthusiasm and righteousness of tens of thousands of volunteers be maintained? This is indeed a big test and a tough battle.
As the main battlefield of the country's epidemic prevention and anti-epidemic, Wuhan once became the gathering center of the whole country and even the world. Sixteen provinces provided counterpart support to 16 prefectures and cities directly under the administration of Hubei, and all localities dispatched elite soldiers and strong generals with the best facilities and equipment to rush to the rescue. The whole country supports Hubei and Wuhan, planes, trains, large trucks, and ships, loaded with all kinds of materials, racing against time, day and night.
The central authorities' decision-making guidance, powerful institutional strength, profound Chinese traditions, common ideals and beliefs, fine cultural accumulation, the brilliance of the nation's humanity, and extensive ordinary good deeds have formed a powerful force in this great examination, stirring up heroic and tragic waves in the land of China, a major civilization in the East.
However, the deployment and strength of the macro strategy have united the hearts of the people and seen hope, and the key to victory is still on the front line, in the hospital, and at the grassroots level.
Zhang Dawei decided to go to the grassroots level for in-depth research, listen to the voices of the grassroots on the front line, and understand the real epidemic situation in the community.
He, Jiang Huaxin, Liu Xingfa and his party came to Jinghe Street.
Zhang Dawei said to Cheng Xiao, the secretary of Jinghe Street: "I know that you are a cheerful person, dare to tell the truth, and dare to poke leaks." We have come to hear the truth and to know the truth. β
Cheng Xiao said: "Okay, let's look while walking, and ask questions while watching." Look at the group of retrograde people at the bottom. These are sanitation workers, volunteers, couriers, supermarket workers, ferry drivers, fast-food restaurant owners, vegetable sellers, water and electricity maintenance workers, infrastructure workers, police officers, business owners, and even homeless people. β
They walked north along Ziyang Avenue and met two sanitation workers.
They are Wang Weijie and Chen Keming from Wanjia Community. The two of them have become the most common scenery on this street for dozens of days. People looked out of the window and saw only two figures in orange and red overalls moving on the empty Ziyang Street, from the north to the south of the street, they swept away the dead branches and garbage.
Someone sighed that if these two orange-red figures could not be seen on Ziyang Street, it would be as if they were dead.
Zhang Dawei walked close to them. Zhang Dawei asked Chen Keming: "Master, you have worked hard!" β
Chen Keming looked at the group, hesitated for a while, and replied: "It's nothing, as long as the street community is clean, medium!" β
Zhang Dawei asked: "Henan people? Where are the folks? β
Chen Keming smiled innocently and pointed at Wang Weijie: "My daughter-in-law can speak, ask her." β
Wang Weijie's hair was gray, and his face soaked in wind, rain, snow and frost was very rough but very simple. She said: "Originally, on the morning of January 23, the train was going back to the countryside of Zhumadian for the New Year, but when I heard that Wuhan was going to be locked down, it would definitely require people to do sanitation, the virus was spreading, and hygiene was the most important, so my husband and I decided to stay." β
Zhang Dawei asked: "What is the difference between doing sanitation in the epidemic and usual?" β
Wang Weijie said: "Oh, there are too many differences. There is more garbage than five times or ten times more than usual, and there are many more types of garbage than usual, and there are all kinds of things. Usually garbage trucks run twice a day, once in the morning and once in the afternoon, but now, six or seven times a day is not enough. β
Zhang Dawei said: "Yes, now people are staying at home, staying in the community, the crowd is dense, the garbage is multiplying, if it is not disposed of in time, there will be new pollution." β
Cheng Xiao said: "We are expropriating some public places and preparing to build shelter hospitals and isolation points, and the garbage generated is really impossible to deal with, and some places have become hills, which is very troublesome!" Now we can't hire sanitation workers, we can't recruit sanitation workers, we have to rely on some community workers and volunteers. Last time, Director Li of Fumin Hospital also asked me for help, asking for support for their 80 cleaners, and we are recruiting volunteers. β
They came to the gate of a community and met a delivery boy. He was waiting for a pile of delivery items and was calling the owner to pick up the items.
Zhang Dawei asked: "Hello courier brother, how many things do you send a day?" β
The courier brother frowned and said: "Now the business volume is ten times more than usual, some express delivery has stopped, and only our company is still holding on." Some courier buddies can't come back when they go back to the countryside for the New Year, and some riders in our city are on top. The scenery and the street don't belong to me, I take care of another block. But Liu Yuxin is gone, he is my good buddy, he sent me WeChat when he left, asking me to take him to the top and persist until the end of the epidemic. Ay! Do evil! He lost his life, I can say Mo Sisa! β
Fang Jia said: "Liu Yuxin is the backbone of the volunteer team I helped in the Wanjia community, and he died of new crown pneumonia! β
Zhang Dawei gave a thumbs up: "Courier brother, good job!" Thank you! β
When he left the courier brother, he thought that in normal times, people might think that this young man was a courier and an errand runner. But do we really know them? Do you really understand them? Most of them are very ordinary people, grass-like people! The real credit should be given to them, and they should be given great credit!
They came to an old neighborhood, where most of the people lived were elderly.
A middle-aged woman with glasses is helping an elderly man into a car.
Zhang Dawei recognized her, isn't this Liu Liben, a national model worker and the director of Guangming Middle School? Zhang Dawei stepped forward and said, "Teacher Liu! β
Liu Liben was discharged from the hospital with new crown pneumonia and quarantined at home for two weeks, and then went out to volunteer. She uses her private car to help the elderly in the four old neighborhoods around the school, including buying groceries, taking them to the hospital, and doing housework for the elderly who are lonely and widowed. Her Heart-to-Heart Ferryman volunteer team is made up of more than a dozen teachers. These volunteers were called by reporters as the patron saints of life in the old community of Jinghe Street.
Liu Liben knew Zhang Dawei, and was very surprised and happy to see him lead a group of people to the front-line grassroots. She said: "Oh, I didn't expect to see Secretary Zhang here!" Hello Sa! β
Zhang Dawei said: "I watched TV, you and your colleagues, amazing, the patron saint of life!" β
Liu Liben said: "The reporters are exalted, we are not the patron saints of life, we are just a vegetable shopping sister, a medicine brother, a delivery person, and a ferryman." β
Zhang Dawei asked: "How many medicines and how many dishes do you buy a day?" How many daily necessities? β
Liu Liben said: "Ouch, I really haven't counted it, anyway, there are no less than 200 copies every day, especially medicine and daily necessities, it's so troublesome!" We also have to register at home, fill out the list according to the need, and divide it into prescription and over-the-counter drugs. Over-the-counter drugs are bought at pharmacies, and some drugs can only be bought at five or six pharmacies. Prescription drug trouble! I have to go to the hospital first, and from the time I go in to the hospital to the time I get the medicine out, I have to take my temperature five or six times, and I have to take care of myself. After buying it, it was sent to each patient according to the list, and this was completed. There are also daily necessities, this one wants rolling paper, that one wants toothpaste, oops, thousands of needs, ten thousand requirements, only the unexpected! I haven't done this before, but now that I'm doing this, I realize how hard it is! β
Zhang Dawei asked: "How to solve the problem of collection and payment?" β
Liu Liben said: "We pay in advance, some elderly people don't know how to pay by mobile phone, there is no way, we don't accept cash, and we have to owe." β
Zhang Dawei said: "Oh......"
Cheng Xiao said: "Mr. Liu's heart-to-heart ferry volunteer team also purchased various items for the medical staff in Jinghe Street, especially the medical team from other provinces to aid Hubei. β
Liu Liben stroked her messy short hair, showed her tired cheeks, and said: "People are risking their lives and the threat of the virus to rescue us, and we should do some logistics service work, but it is too trivial and we must be careful and thoughtful." From nail clippers, sanitary napkins, skin creams, band-aids, toothpicks, glasses, etc., to warm clothes, underwear, shoes and socks, and mobile phone repairs, etc., hey, there are really only unexpected! β
Zhang Dawei thought, yes, this is the case on the front line and at the grassroots level, the most real, the most specific, the most real, only unexpected! These are unexpected, just what we need to do, and they must be in place and done well! The front line needs strength too much! The grassroots need to understand too much! The epidemic needs to be real too much!
Zhang Dawei said: "Buying supplies for the medical team in Hubei is a big deal. β
Liu Liben said: "We buy goods for them and never charge money. They insisted on paying, and I told my colleagues in the volunteer team that we would pay for it! β
Zhang Dawei asked: "How much money do you have now?" β
Liu Liben said: "I advanced 80,000 or 90,000 yuan, which is my savings, and I should only donate a year's salary!" β
Zhang Dawei was deeply touched and thought that this epidemic has seen a large number of ordinary acts of kindness and righteousness, showing unprecedented national cohesion. In fact, the backbone of the nation is that our nation has hundreds of millions of good people, good people, and heroes. Their courage and virtue support our common spiritual pillar!
The group came to a supermarket. There was a long queue of shoppers at the supermarket, and only five people were allowed in and out at a time. The supermarket manager led Zhang Dawei and his entourage to inspect the mall, and the items were basically sufficient, although the price was high, but it was not as high as rumored on the Internet.
The supermarket manager said: "Now during the epidemic period, the transportation cost is several times that of usual, the labor cost is three times that of usual, and the supermarket is sold with capital guaranteed. Now the most difficult is group buying, the demand is strange, we can't pack the needs of each household separately, we only have side dishes unified packaging, divided into different price grades, by the community group buying, unified delivery. β
At this time, some shoppers shouted: "These dishes were given to Wuhan from other places, and they actually sold them!" β
Someone said: "The supermarket is full of turnips and cabbage, no meat, and too few soy products." We are not vegetarian monks! β
Someone said: "It's a difficult time, make do with it!" Make do with it. β
Zhang Dawei asked: "The vegetables given by other provinces have entered the supermarket?" β
The supermarket manager said: "There was a situation a while ago, the Bureau of Commerce received vegetables donated from other places, and it was not easy to distribute them to thousands of households for a while, so it was decided to sell them at a fair price in the supermarket, and the money from the sale was recorded separately and handed over to the Red Cross for processing. There was a misunderstanding among the residents. β
At this time, a supermarket employee suddenly cried and said to the supermarket manager: "Manager, I quit, I served them with good intentions, and I was scolded!" I'm trying to make a mess! β
It turned out that the supermarket staff was responsible for packing side dishes for the Jiahe community group purchase, but they could not meet the needs of every resident, sometimes using carrots instead of tomatoes, sometimes using rolling paper instead of pumping paper, sometimes using Chinese cabbage instead of lettuce, and sometimes using thousands of sheets instead of dried fragrant. Not only was it returned and the price questioned, but it was also scolded in the group buying group.
"Han scolding" once became a hot search! Some people applauded, some criticized, some added fuel to the fire, some watched and were silent, some condemned, some scolded back, and some people made a picture of Han scolding, which once spread on the Internet.
The supermarket manager said to Zhang Dawei: "This employee is innocent, and she is also packing the dishes according to the actual situation and the existing materials, which is also the emergency method of the supermarket." This employee has been sick for more than 40 days, and she has high blood pressure and heart disease! Her parents recently passed away due to coronary heart disease, and she only took one day off before returning to work! β
The supermarket manager said indignantly: "Thousands of scoldings this employee should not be scolded!" If they want to scold, scold me! But scold me, what can I do? I've reached the limit! If you want to scold them to scold the virus, no one wants to live this kind of life! β
Oh, yes! No one is willing to live this kind of life, and no one wants to suffer this kind of grievance! The front-line personnel at the grassroots level not only risk the virus, but also endure all kinds of psychological trauma, which is not a sentence of "sorry" or "please forgive" or "misunderstanding" and the like, which can calm the balance! The more moments like this, the more we can't let unhealthy tendencies spread like a virus! If this invisible vulgarity is allowed to pervade, our cohesion will be destroyed, people's hearts will be dispersed, and the epidemic prevention and anti-epidemic will be affected!
Zhang Dawei said to Jiang Huaxin and Liu Xingfa: "Contact the relevant departments to find out who this woman who is scolded?" What reason does she have to publicly curse? Why did she publicly scold frontline workers on the Internet? What motive does she have for swearing? Such people should be publicly condemned and dealt with severely! β
Cheng Xiao said: "I have found out that the woman who scolded me is a bank worker, who works as a secretary in a bank office, and I heard that she can also write articles. His father and mother were retired high-ranking officials in the financial system! Such a person, not to mention anything else, did not make a good appearance to her children! β
Zhang Dawei said to Jiang Huaxin: "Notify her unit and the competent department to seriously investigate and deal with this matter, and I will hear the results within 24 hours." β
Within 24 hours, there were many articles and WeChat on the Internet criticizing and condemning this Han scolding woman. One of the **** people wrote an open letter, in which he stated that many of the donated vegetables in Wuhan are donated by poor areas. The bitter gourd of the Zhang family, the red lotus of the Li family, the potatoes of the Wang family, and the cabbage of the Liu family are carried on their shoulders and on their backs, from dozens of years old villagers to teenage students, walking dozens of miles of mountain roads to deliver their own vegetables to the town. After the town is concentrated, it is sent to the county, and the county is loaded and sent to Wuhan...... The vegetables we eat now are actually the blood, sweat and conscience of many people in other places, including poor mountainous areas! The open letter said to this scolding woman, you stay at home safely, you don't know the hard work of the front-line staff, you go out of the house and downstairs to volunteer in the supermarket, where there is a need for manpower! If you don't understand the difficulties of epidemic prevention and control, and don't understand the sacrifice and dedication of front-line personnel, you will only hide at home and break your mobile phone to scold, then, we send you four words: wolf heart and dog lungs!
