Doctors deserve praise
他们用血肉之躯，筑起抗疫的“钢墙铁壁”。
“China is always well protected by the bravest (最勇敢的) of them,” former US secretary of state Henry Kissinger once wrote. Indeed, in the fight against the novel coronavirus, it is medical workers who are risking their lives on the frontlines of the epidemic.
As of Feb 17, more than 32,000 medical workers from all over China have been sent to Hubei, the center of the viral (病毒的) outbreak. They are working under unusual conditions, unimaginable stress and intensive (密集的) schedules.
In Wuhan mobile cabin hospitals, medical workers take shifts (轮流) to treat patients. They usually have to work consecutively (连续地) for six hours, as well as take one hour to put on and take off their protective clothing. To help them recognize (认出) each other, they write their names on their clothing. To save time going to the bathroom, they choose to wear diapers (纸尿裤), The Paper reported.
Many doctors and nurses were infected (感染) during the earliest period of the outbreak because of a lack of knowledge about the virus, as well as a shortage of medical supplies (供应). Some of them were treated, recovered (康复) and went back to work. Some of them, unfortunately (不幸地), lost their lives.
According to China’s National Health Commission, a total of 1,716 medical workers in China were infected with the new coronavirus as of Feb 11, while six passed away.
With the support (支持) of the central government, the working conditions for medical staff in heavily-impacted (受影响大的) cities like Wuhan have been improved. They are confident that they will win the battle (战役) against the virus.
These medical workers are just ordinary people. To fight the epidemic, parents leave their children and couples get separated (分开的). They are mothers and fathers, wives and husbands, sons and daughters, and also warriors (战士).
Teen essay on medic parent going to Wuhan warms hearts
Yang Xiayu is a sixth grader at the No 2 Experimental School Affiliated to Shanghai Normal University in Putuo district, Shanghai. His mother is a chief nurse (护士长) at No 905 Military Hospital of the People’s Liberation Army Navy (中国人民解放军海军第905医院). During the winter break, Yang wrote an essay about his mother going to Wuhan to help fight the virus. The story has touched many people. Here’s part of the essay.
“Jan 24 was the eve of the Lunar New Year. A phone call woke me up from a sweet dream. As I opened my drowsy (昏昏欲睡的) eyes, my mom was already on the phone: “Yes, director (主任), I am on holiday with my family in Changzhou (a city in Jiangsu province). When is the time? OK, we will be on our way at once.”
Click! Mom turned on the bedroom light and jostled (推了推) my dad and me awake. “Hurry up! We have to pack up and go back to Shanghai now. I need to report for urgent (紧急的) work in Wuhan at 11 am.”
…
We arrived in Shanghai in time and mom rushed home. After 10 minutes, she was downstairs again with a small bag. Looking at mom, I was about to cry. I know mom won’t be with us for a long time, and I won’t be able to eat her dishes – mom is going to fight the dangerous virus.
…
I turned on the television. It was broadcasting (播报) news about reinforcements (增援) of military medics (军队医务人员) being sent from Shanghai to Wuhan, and mom was on the screen.
...
Wuhan, tonight you will no longer be on your own! Mom and her comrades are coming!”
