Fortunately, after two months of magic confusion and struggle, our life gradually began to return to the right track, and the streets began to smell of vendors setting off fireworks.
The actual epidemic has not sounded the alarm, and I finished watching Plague at home. At the end of this book, there is such a passage, which was drowned by the noise and caught my heart.
"So the relatives snuggled up and went home. They have no time to see the outside world. They are just immersed in the superficial phenomenon of defeating the plague. They forgot all their sufferings, and the people who arrived in the same car did not find their relatives. They were preparing to go home and test the fear caused by long silence. "
"These people-mothers, couples, wives, lovers-have no joy now, because their relatives have been scattered in nameless graves, or mixed in piles of ashes, beyond recognition. For them, the plague is still not over. "
People are easily forgotten animals.
We will still remember the beginning of 2020, the day when we took off our masks, and what we experienced every night after that? What have you lost? What did you get?
1. Remember those who left us.
In 2020, when many people haven't had time to show their fists and feet, some people have left us in a hurry and can't wait for the footsteps of spring.
On the evening of February 20th, 2020, a doctor in Jiangxia District, Wuhan City, 29-year-old Peng, was unfortunately infected with COVID-19 in the front line of fighting the epidemic. His condition deteriorated and he died after being rescued. In this way, his young and lively life will always be fixed at the age of 29.
This younger brother, who is 1 year younger than me, originally planned to hold a wedding during the Spring Festival. But when the epidemic came, he chose to postpone the wedding and take the lead in fighting the epidemic.
This Spring Festival should have been the happiest day in his life, but in order to fight the epidemic, he missed the wedding forever and left the bright world with regret for his fiancee.
One day, when we can see the people we want to see again, do what we want to do, go where we want to go, eat what we want, and enjoy the most ordinary but precious happiness in the world, can we still remember such a young doctor buried in the dust for us?
And he is just one of many heroes, doctors, nurses, police, epidemic prevention workers ... Everyone's death is a broken family, which is the heartbreak and despair of many parents, wives and children.
In this "epidemic" without smoke, more than 3,000 patients died, and they silently bid farewell to the world in the ward.
When relatives embrace each other and cry with joy, these 3,000 families can only cry silently. The virus took away their loved ones without saying hello, and some people's goodbye became never seen again.
The figures broadcast in the news every day may be just data for us. We only care about the increase or decrease of numbers, and each 1 in this number represents the joys and sorrows of a family.
The netizen has a sentence that pokes a lot of people's tears. "We are just trapped at home, and some people are trapped in 2020."
2. Remember those who have experienced the storm.
On February 14 this year, a snowstorm raided Chengde, Hebei Province, and the temperature plummeted. A video of the day was on fire, and the protagonist of the story was a janitor who still stuck to the front line of epidemic prevention in the snow.
Grandpa wore a mask, his hands stuffed in the cuffs of his coat and curled up at the epidemic checkpoint. It was snowing heavily, and there was a thick layer of snow on his cotton hat, military coat and the table beside him.
This is the epitome of many ordinary people in this war "epidemic".
A driver in Shouguang, Shandong Province drove a heavy truck to Wuhan to deliver vegetables. The reporter asked him, "What do you think of the family going to Wuhan this time?"
With pancakes in his hand, he just smiled and said, "Everyone is very happy and supportive. Because there is no money to contribute, right? "
It is such an unpretentious sentence that touched many people's hearts and represented the voices of many ordinary people who are as ordinary and simple as him and eager to shine.
Some people say that this epidemic has made us see the importance of drivers, cleaners, couriers and community security. In fact, people like them, like the fresh air we breathe every day, have always been indispensable, but they are not always taken seriously.
After the epidemic, they will be submerged in the bustling crowd and quietly shuttle through every corner of the city and countryside.
They are still them, but can we become different, no longer ignore their work, no longer criticize their work, and no longer dislike their rough hands, weather-beaten faces and dusty clothes?
3. Remember the most difficult times in those countries.
This is a disaster and a lesson.
Young us, perhaps this time, have personally, truly and profoundly understood the meaning of the country to us.
Our generation, in fact, lives happily, but they always don't think so.
When I was a child, most of them had nothing to worry about, and some people could eat luxuriously; As a teenager, the biggest worry may be getting up early every day to go to school, and then taking a nap on a clean desk and chair; When we grow up, our parents will have to work, buy a house, buy a car, get married and take care of the children. ...
We always thought that society should be like this, but we forgot how our ancestors sought independence and self-improvement in turbulent and chaotic China 0/00 years ago, and how our fathers sought survival and development in economically backward China 50 years ago.
We complain that jobs are hard to find, society is unfair, housing prices are expensive, subways are crowded, and all kinds of inefficiencies exist. ......
But we have never asked ourselves, have we ever contributed a brick and tile to this society and our country?
We forget that our country is actually a growing child. When the epidemic came and more than one billion people looked at him with eager and anxious eyes, he never complained to us or showed his vulnerability, but only gave us the greatest sense of security with his actions.
He quickly coordinated resources and quickly established Raytheon Mountain and Vulcan Mountain Hospital.
He quickly recruited personnel and sent more than 40 thousand medical staff from all over the country to help Wuhan;
He quickly deployed materials, and the necessities of life such as rice, noodles, oil and vegetables continued.
......
My mother, a peasant woman who is nearly 60 years old, said to me one day, "The country is too difficult, the economy is affected, and it will cost so much money."
An ordinary peasant woman can think why I, a young man who has been educated for more than 20 years, never feel sorry for my country.
Because our fathers grew up with the country, they experienced countless lows and difficult moments together, while our generation only enjoyed his happiest and peaceful moments.
One day, when we take off the mask and the familiar noise of missing comes back, please be more tolerant and loving to our country, because he is working hard, and we should work hard with him. Just like a passage circulating on the Internet some time ago:
"The place where you stand is your China; Hello, how is China? China is you; If you are bright, China will not be dark. " May all young people in China get rid of air conditioning and go straight up without listening to the self-destructors.
"Can do things, can make a sound. If you are a little hot, you can emit a little light, just like fireflies. You can also shine a little light in the dark without waiting for the torch. If there is no torch afterwards, we will be the only light. "
Lu Xun said that because people can forget, they can gradually get rid of the pain they have suffered. Because they can forget, they still have to make the mistakes of their predecessors.
I hope that after this epidemic, we can forget what we should forget and remember what we should remember.
