CHAPTER XVII

Inscription: At the end of the song, beware of drawing the four strings like a cracked silk

Late at night, Shin Min eagerly knocked on Shin Chung-kun's door.

Shen Zhongkun is studying literature, history and philosophy in his study, and he has been very interested in Gengzi culture recently. He looked through the cat's eye and found that it was his daughter Shin Min knocking on the door and hurriedly opened the door. Seeing that his daughter looked a little nervous, he asked uneasily: "It's so late, it's almost the clock, are you in a hurry?" ”

Shen Min sat down, calmed down, and said, "Dad, call Mom, I have something urgent, hurry up, don't keep an eye on me." ”

Shen Zhongkun went to the back room to wake up his wife Lu Jing. Lu Jing is a retired employee of a state-owned textile factory, this old lady is very energetic, don't look at her small, thin, but she does housework, better than Shen Zhongkun, she often trots all the way when she walks, with Jiahe community as the center, she often rides a bicycle for more than ten kilometers, shopping, shopping, watching the excitement, dancing square dance, catching temple fairs, etc., she is indispensable. She knows all about which shops sell what, what stalls there are in which alleys, what clothes are mended, shoes are repaired, and cheap local products are bought and so on, and the information is very accurate. The old lady was kind-eyed, enthusiastic and cheerful, helpful, she looked at money relatively lightly, and she was not in a hurry when the sky fell, and she never seemed to be distressed or anxious. After a long time, the people in Jiahe community heard her sing, and this mezzo-soprano sang without shyness and crampedness, only freedom and happiness, and people knew that it was Shen Zhongkun's wife and Lu Jing in that temperament.

Lu Jing saw that Shen Min arrived late at night, and estimated that something must be wrong, but she didn't ask directly, just said, "It's so late, have you eaten (no)?" Why don't you cook some dumplings for you? ”

Shen Min waved his hand: "Don't talk about anything else, sit down and listen to me." ”

Shen Zhongkun and Lu Jing sat on the sofa, looking a little nervous.

Shen Min said hurriedly: "Tomorrow, that is, at ten o'clock tomorrow morning, Wuhan will be locked down!" ”

Shen Zhongkun didn't believe his ears and asked in surprise, "What?" What do you say? Lockdown?

Shen Min nodded: "I'll tell you, the lockdown of Wuhan is now absolutely secret, and you can't leak the slightest rumor, do you hear it?" ”

Shen Zhongkun asked: "How is the closure of the city?" Don't let people out of town? Don't let people into the city either? ”

Shen Min nodded, "Now you listen to me, early tomorrow morning, you go to the supermarket to shop, you have to stock up on dozens of days of food, drink, and supplies, and we also have to stock up on some things, you can help buy them on your behalf." ”

Lu Jing nodded: "There is no impermeable wall, there must be a lot of people who know, old man, grab shopping items tomorrow, do you hear the risk?" ”

Shen Min said: "It's the Spring Festival soon, and the news of the lockdown may leak, which is inevitable, as far as I know, many people are ready to leave Wuhan now, and at this time, there are a lot of private cars running out of the city." ”

Shen Zhongkun was very calm, got up and paced a few steps in the house, and asked, "What are you doing in the lockdown?" Is there going to be a war? If you want to fight, you don't need to lock down the city. As far as I know, Wuhan was closed down once in 1840, and once in 1900, when foreign invaders were rampant, internal troubles were swarming, wars were like clouds, the people were struggling to make a living, and the national disaster was at the head, but when is it now? Lockdown? Against whom? With whom to fight? ”

Shin Min said: "Fight against the new coronavirus, fight against the new coronavirus!" ”

Shen Zhongkun stopped, and suddenly remembered the new coronavirus pneumonia that people have been talking about recently, and also remembered the mainstream media reports about the new coronavirus pneumonia that was still holding the pipa and half-covering his face, especially last night, he watched Zhong Nanshan's appeal on TV, warning and reminding people that the new coronavirus pneumonia that occurred in Wuhan has been transmitted from person to person! In addition, the old man Lin Weiyin in Jiahe Community died suddenly, Yao Lin was hospitalized with fever and asthma, and I heard that it was also new crown pneumonia, and now the hospital is overwhelmed and close to paralysis. He understood that a catastrophe was looming over Wuhan, and it was attacking more than 14 million people in Wuhan, threatening people's health and even their lives.

Shen Zhongkun asked: "Now I want to hear your opinions, should I leave or stay?" ”

Lu Jing said: "Let's leave, what should I do with Zhu Xiaojing, what about Zhu Yi and Shen Min?" ”

Shen Min said: "I have to prepare daily necessities for Zhu Yi for two or three months, he can't go home from today onwards, and he will stick to the front line of the hospital, even when we meet!" “

Lu Jing said, "Stay, right?" In the face of the threat of the virus, life will have many constraints and difficulties, but the two families can pull each other and take care of each other. Don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case. ”

Shen Zhongkun nodded and said, "I'm inclined to the latter!" With you, with Wuhan! I believe in the country, the central government, and the people! ”

Shen Min said, "Tomorrow I wish Xiaojing to come and live with you." You take care of him, supervise his homework, now his grades are declining, listen to Mr. Liu, a few girls in the class handed him a note, alas, the current girls, too, too open, this is so bold, unlike when we were in high school, we didn't dare to look up when we saw the boys, and the boys blushed and heartbeat when they talked, alas, the babies now, they are really Mo's law! ”

Shen Zhongkun said: "I have a room here, everything is arranged for Zhu Xiaojing, don't worry." ”

Shen Min said: "The city immediately set up a new coronavirus pneumonia epidemic prevention headquarters, and the leaders talked to me, I am a staff member of the epidemic prevention headquarters, responsible for the work of the comprehensive team. ”

Shen Zhongkun looked at his daughter and encouraged her with a firm gaze.

Although Shin Min was a little panicked, she was calm, and her beautiful face was full of determination and confidence, much more mature than before.

Shen Zhongkun encouraged his daughter: "Shen Min, you are now a substantive cadre at the deputy department level and a party member, I believe you will do better, you know, this is a war without gunpowder." Since it is a war, on the one hand, we must fight a good war, and on the other hand, we must pay attention to ourselves and do a good job of protection. We are national cadres, we talk about faith, abide by the rules, fulfill our duties, and make dedications, but we are also flesh and blood with families and relatives! ”

Shin Min nodded and left.

Lu Jing quickly found a piece of paper, and after a while, he wrote down dense words, this is a list of materials to be snapped up tomorrow, he is a careful but no lofty ambitions, but also no low-level interests and bad tastes of a good wife and mother, is an extremely competent mother, is a very qualified grandmother, is a careful and thoughtful wife, and is also a warm and kind neighbor. She told a few of her girlfriends, friends and relatives about the imminent lockdown of Wuhan. She thought that they should know at the critical moment that what they did was their own business.

At the same time, in a conference room of Fumin Hospital, the lights were bright. Li Ming, Zhu Yi, Wu Aichun, Sun Aibing, Liu Xinxin and others are analyzing and studying the current new crown pneumonia epidemic and formulating effective response methods and measures.

Zhu Yi said: "It is necessary for us to set up an expert group for the prevention and treatment of new crown pneumonia in Fumin Hospital to conduct centralized consultation on critically ill patients. Adopt more optimized and effective methods to reduce the rate of severe disease and reduce the mortality rate. ”

Li Ming nodded, his expression very serious. He said: "The central government will send military medical personnel to help Wuhan, and will also send some people's soldiers and military doctors to our hospital, we must do a good job of cooperation, help, contact, service and other work, and work together to fight the new crown epidemic to fight and win!" This is an unprecedented people's war, this is a life-and-death battle that took place in our Wuhan, comrades, I have no self! ”

Zhu Yi said: "We should issue an initiative to all hospitals in the city to divide the new crown pneumonia inpatient department into a safety area, a work area, an isolation area, a severe area, and a critical area. Implement differentiated hierarchical management, strict work processes, and achieve three key points: one is to strictly prevent mild patients from becoming critically ill, the second is to control severe patients from becoming critically ill, and the third is to try to reduce critical deaths.

President Li Ming agreed, he said: "The health and life safety of the people is a matter of great concern and concern to the central government, and it is a top priority. ”

Wu Aichun said: "Director Zhu's triage diagnosis and treatment advice is very important, we should issue an initiative in a timely manner, all hospitals should do a good job of safety protection, and build several lines of defense against the new crown epidemic on the front line of the epidemic." Only by doing this can we treat the disease and reduce the occupational hazards of health care workers. ”

Li Ming nodded in agreement.

Liu Xinxin was recording quickly, and after a while, she handed over a draft proposal to Zhu Yi.

Zhu Yi hurriedly finished reading it, nodded, gave a thumbs up and said, "I wrote the proposal so quickly." He handed the proposal to Li Ming.

After reading it, Li Ming revised a few places, handed over the draft of the proposal to the staff around him, and said, "Print it immediately, and send out the proposal at dawn." ”

At 8 a.m., TV stations, radio stations, newspapers and official public accounts announced the news that Wuhan would be locked down at 10 a.m. almost simultaneously. There are only two hours before the lockdown, and this news is another thunderclap after Academician Zhong Nanshan announced that the new crown pneumonia can be transmitted from person to person! This thunderbolt stunned almost everyone. At this moment of great urgency and worry, there are two choices in front of everyone: stay or leave. In the choice of staying and leaving, there are several situations: one is that it is too late to leave, only to stay; The second is to leave as much as possible, and it seems safe to leave; The third is hesitation, let's leave, I can't leave all of a sudden, I haven't done a lot of things, if I don't leave, what should I do if I'm trapped in the city? What is even more anxious is that those who are running to seek treatment and beds in major hospitals, they cannot leave at all, only stay, only wait, and they are very anxious and helpless in waiting. At the same time, those who want to rush out of the city, some drive private cars, all the way, some taxi taxi does not hesitate to pay a high price, and is not afraid of carpooling, as long as it can be delivered to several major exits in Wuhan, and then find a way to get out of the city. Some ride shared electric vehicles or pedal shared bicycles, hoping to reach the location where they can transfer as soon as possible.

All traffic leaving Han has begun to prepare to close, and epidemic prevention personnel and police have been deployed at all major exits of Wuhan, and all the passages are blocked when the time comes. Most people knew about the lockdown at around 8 a.m., but some of those who knew it before had successfully left the night before, and the authorities had to admit that at least 5 million people had left Wuhan early before the lockdown due to the leak of the lockdown.

When the news that more than 5 million people had left Wuhan and were flowing to the whole province and the whole country was announced, it aroused the alarm of some provinces and cities. On January 22, the day before Wuhan announced the lockdown, Hubei Province launched a second-level emergency response to public emergencies, and some provinces have taken the lead in initiating a first-level response to public emergencies, and at the same time, relevant departments reported the epidemic on the same day, and there were 105 new cases of new crown pneumonia patients in the province.

Xiong Jun is working on the manuscript in the office. He found that the relevant parties were slow to act, and such a dire situation was actually a second-level response, and the number of new crown patients announced was inaccurate. He was angry, suddenly slammed his fist on the table, and said loudly: "Unconscious official! Mediocre! ”

His move shocked his colleagues, who were working in the same hall, and people looked at Xiong Jun in dismay.

Xiong Jun angrily tore up a press release and said loudly: "Now that the Wuhan epidemic is coming, disaster is coming, this is not so much a natural disaster, but also a human disaster!" I strongly appeal to the provincial and municipal commanders! Some officials can take a half-time break! I advise the Lord of Heaven to be vigorous and reduce talents without sticking to one pattern! ”

Someone advised him: "Old bear, don't shake and fight, stop your anger, stop your anger, come, smoke a cigarette." ”

Some people say: "If your arms can't twist your thighs, you can't do anything about yourself!" ”

Some people think: We really need a cannon like Lao Xiong, as soon as the cannon goes off, not to mention any golden taels, at least it can attract people's attention and attention. Shock!

Someone said more directly: "Xiong Cannon, you have to shut up, since ancient times, illness comes from the mouth, and disaster comes from the mouth." ”

Someone said: "I heard that the new crown virus is transmitted by wild animals, and the disease enters from the mouth, and now you have another disaster from the mouth, you guy, you don't know the current affairs!" ”

Colleagues, you say a word to me, and there is a lot of discussion.

Xiong Jun said a little impatiently: "Don't talk about it, everyone, I am alone in charge, I immediately issued an appeal, the province and city should change the commander, and some officials should immediately take a break, so as not to bring disaster to the country and the people!" ”

He is a person who does what he says and is not afraid of heaven and earth, and he issued an appeal for the change of provincial and municipal commanders on his personal Weibo on the same day, which stirred up a thousand waves with one stone.
