We designated1October 16 as World Food Day. On this day, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations selected "food heroes" for the first time in the world, hoping to reward ordinary people who transported food from farms to the table during the COVID-19 epidemic. In this selection, there is a very surprising news, that is, a China person won the title of "food hero", and that person is Li Zhifang. You know, there are 26 "food heroes" in the world this year, and Li Zhifang is the only one from China, which shows how powerful he is. So, why was Li Zhifang named as a "food hero"? What the hell did he do?
According to the exhibition of official website of FAO, the introduction of Li Zhifang is as follows: As the sales manager of Qiangxin Vegetable Production and Marketing Cooperative in Wuhan, Hubei Province, Li Zhifang won this honor because he ensured the vegetable supply and stabilized the price in Wuhan during the epidemic. At the beginning of the epidemic, the price of vegetables was once very high. Li Zhifang had to work hard to persuade vegetable farmers to sell their vegetables to cooperatives at normal prices, and ensure the supply of large supermarkets such as Box Horse, Wu Shang and Zhong Bai. At the same time, Li Zhi also offered to help the government distribute vegetables to some communities lacking fresh food, including those close to the seafood market in South China. Li Zhifang said that because these communities are close to the birthplace of COVID-19 epidemic, many people are reluctant to accept orders from these communities.
Obviously, from this point of view, Li Zhifang's election as a "food hero" really deserves its reputation. In fact, when the road was closed in Wuhan at the beginning of this year, Li Zhi and his team transported as many as 1300 packages of vegetables every day, each package was 15 kg, which was nearly 5 tons. After the meal is delivered every day, Li Zhi and his colleagues have to disinfect before they can go home. At that time, my daughter was also worried about his safety and told him not to go to work again. But Li Zhifang said to her daughter, "Have you ever seen a war movie? The charge sounded, and someone had to go. If you don't do it, I won't do it. Who else will do it? " Obviously, Li Zhifang is a man with ideals, and he has nothing to fear about the country's anti-epidemic cause. It can be seen from here that Li Zhifang is a very respectable person and a fearless person.
On this year's World Food Day, FAO takes this opportunity to thank these "food heroes": "No matter what the circumstances, they insist on providing food to the community and contributing to the development, nourishment and maintenance of our world." Obviously, judging from the evaluation given by FAO, Li Zhifang is worthy of the title of "food hero". During the epidemic, he delivered vegetables to every household and worked tirelessly. Such behavior is commendable and such spirit is worth learning.
