一場突如其來的新冠肺炎疫情,讓2020年這個春天變得非同尋常。
在這場沒有硝煙的戰爭中,湧現出無數凡人英雄:
他們是聞令而動,以捨我其誰的精神奮戰在抗疫一線的醫護人員;他們是保證城市正常運行,進行消毒和垃圾清運的環衛工人;他們是趕赴疫區,深入救治現場採訪報道的新聞工作者;他們是警察、是建築工人、是社區工作者……他們是抗擊疫情的中堅力量。
從陰霾籠罩到春暖花開,他們的付出在這場疫情中得到見證。
下面幾個“小人物”的故事,是千百萬中國抗“疫”凡人的縮影。
這個“五一”國際勞動節,一起來讀讀他們的故事。
The 2020 International Workers' Day is destined to be an unusual holiday. In the past four months, millions of workers have stick to their positions in the fight against the coronavirus and to safeguard our society. Among them are medical workers, bus drivers, sanitation workers, community volunteers, and so on. Now, the epidemic has eased in most parts of China, and industries across the country began to resume production, so we look back to some stories of coronavirus heroes and helpers to mark Workers' Day today.
“防護服是冰冷的,我們的心是熱乎的”
The medical worker who fought Ebola 5 years ago joins coronavirus front-line
1月24日大年三十,萬家團圓之時,重慶陸軍軍醫大學第二附屬醫院宋彩萍接到了出征武漢的命令。
時間緊迫,她甚至來不及吃上一口擺上桌的年夜飯。
臨別時,16歲的兒子給了媽媽一個有力的擁抱。
五年前,宋彩萍即將出徵利比里亞抗擊埃博拉病毒時,也有過一個這樣的擁抱。
那年,兒子11歲,哭著抱住媽媽不讓走。
宋彩萍不得不把疫情中的利比里亞描繪成一個美麗的童話世界,她告訴兒子,自己要去那裡照顧非洲的孩子。
這次,兒子已經比她還要高了,也終於理解媽媽肩上的責任。
農曆新年的鐘聲即將敲響之際,包括宋彩萍在內的陸軍軍醫大學150名醫療隊員,乘坐軍機抵達武漢天河機場。
Song Caiping is a member of the medical team from the Army Medical University dispatched to help treat coronavirus patients at the Wuhan Jinyintan Hospital at the end of January. But that's not the first time she finds herself at the center of a viral outbreak. Five years ago, she was deployed to Liberia to help with the fight against Ebola as part of a medical team from China.
進駐金銀潭醫院後,宋彩萍即帶領隊員連續奮戰,一天一夜就將普通病房改造成專業傳染病病房,為高效收治病人贏得了時間。
有隊員給她算了一筆時間賬:從1月25日到1月28日,宋彩萍總的睡眠時間不到7個小時。
轉戰火神山醫院後,宋彩萍被任命為護理部副主任。儘管事務繁多,她還是堅持每天到病房看望病人,得把兩個病區的120多個病人全部看一遍,她心裡才踏實。
為了紓解患者的焦慮情緒,她常常用手勢傳達問候,在防護服上畫笑臉。
宋彩萍說:“外人看隔離病房,以為充滿了緊張氣氛,甚至有點恐怖,我覺得完全不是這樣。不論男女老少,我每次看到他們都會有說不完的話。”
同在火神山醫院奮戰的感染科醫生李琦,曾將宋彩萍對患者的陪伴稱為“話療”——她在,就感覺有人陪著你,有人看著你,有人護著你。
“防護服是冰冷的,我們的心是熱乎的”,宋彩萍說。
Song dedicated her body and soul to the task at hand in Wuhan, and according to her colleague, she slept less than seven hours in the first few nights after arriving in the city. She's been busy teaching young nurses different techniques and encouraging them to be confident.
"Remember, the place where we are standing is our battlefield. As long as we are bold, careful, and intelligent, we can unite to defeat the virus and complete the task," said Song.
白衣戰士的“擺渡人”
The bus driver who shuttles medical staff to and from work
疫情防控期間,武漢對城市交通進行嚴格管控,幾乎所有公交線路都停止運行。
然而,武漢的馬路上每天仍穿梭著少量的公交車。
其中一輛,就有聶三華開的739路。
1月23日,武漢公交司機聶三華收到公司暫停運行的通知。看著空蕩蕩的馬路,他心裡很不是滋味。
沒休息兩天,他就瞞著家人到戰“疫”前線,開起了一輛特殊的“公交車”——接送醫護人員上下班。
為了家人安全,當過兵的他捲起一套行軍被,和醫療隊一同住到了酒店裡。1998年參加湖北抗洪搶險時,他也揹著這床行軍被褥。
During the coronavirus pandemic, China's epicenter Wuhan strictly controlled urban traffic, and all bus lines ceased operation. However, a small number of buses were still running to help front-line medical staff. Nie Sanhua was a bus driver who voluntarily shuttled medical staff between hotels and hospitals every day.
“這裡,這裡!”到了晚上,醫院門口都是等待接送醫護人員回休息駐地的車輛。
聶三華怕有人上錯車,總是站在路邊招呼大家。他還要在微信群裡反覆確認,確保醫護人員都上車了,再發車。
從酒店到醫院大概20分鐘車程,聶三華每天要跑8個來回,一天平均下來要接送約320人次。
但他始終覺得自己的工作比醫護人員輕鬆太多。
聶三華說,有一次收末班車時,上來5名醫護人員,從後視鏡裡看,他們一上車就靠著椅子睡著了。
“一路上我都不知道該怎麼開車了,開快了怕把他們顛醒,開慢又怕耽誤他們的時間”,聶三華說。
他接送的醫護人員說,聶三華讓他們很感動——
“抗擊疫情是醫務工作者的職責所在,但其實老聶可以選擇不在這裡。”
聶三華卻說:“聽得最多的就是醫護人員說‘師傅,謝謝您’。相反,‘謝謝’這兩個字恰恰是我想對他們說的。”
據統計,疫情防控期間,聶三華安全行駛了1.2萬公里,運送了2.5萬餘人次醫護人員及500餘件(箱)醫療物資。
4月17日,住了77天酒店的聶三華回家了,揹著那床褪了色的行軍被褥。
To not infect his family, Nie lived in the same hotel with medical staff and didn't went home for over one month. There are nine kilometers from the hotel to the hospital, Nie had to do eight round trips a day, and picked up more than 320 people a day on average.
"The bus stopped operating, but I can't stop working," said Nie.
環衛夫妻:方艙醫院內外的堅守
Sanitation couple in a makeshift hospital
2月5日晚,武展方艙醫院建成,開始接收新冠肺炎患者。
當晚,52歲的環衛公廁管理員李玉鳳接到電話,得知需要環衛工進艙進行保潔與消殺。
“算我一個。”李玉鳳沒多想就報了名。
第二天上午,她與5名同事一同進艙前,發現跟平時的公廁保潔完全不一樣,需要“穿戴防護服、護目鏡和口罩、手套後,再進艙”,而這使得每一個動作都十分費力。
方艙設置了120座移動公廁與艙內的2座固定公廁,被選為公廁班班長的李玉鳳與同事的主要任務是清潔衛生與消殺。
“來一個人如廁後,除了清掃一次,還要用84消毒液進行消殺一次。”李玉鳳說,這個工作量相當大,一下沒盯住,就有可能漏過消殺,給病毒可乘之機。
為了做到不漏一次,她將5名班員分成兩組,其中3人負責移動公廁,她自己則帶一名同事,進入更加危險的方艙內的兩個固定公廁。
方艙內的兩個公廁,清掃保潔更麻煩。由於使用人員較多,便池與洗手檯下水管時不時就堵住了。
“汙水漫溢如同疫情蔓延。”李玉鳳說,只有及時疏通、消殺到位,才能確保安全。
從進艙到出艙,一天10個小時,脫下防護服,秋衣早已是溼透。
由於工作強度太大,李玉鳳他們只能在艙內幹7天,然後出艙隔離7天,隔離完後,再進艙幹7天,如此反覆。
李玉鳳的丈夫蘇啟雲,是方艙正對面一座鐘樓式環衛公廁的管理員。
每次在穿上防護服進艙前,李玉鳳都不忘“遙控指導”同為公廁管理員的丈夫,囑咐他用最嚴格的消殺標準對方艙對面的公廁進行消殺。
“我已在方艙,你要做好保潔和消殺,保護好自己”,李玉鳳每次在進艙前都會在視頻電話中囑咐丈夫。
蘇啟雲說,“你放心,做好消殺,既是保護前來如廁的醫護人員安全,也是保護我自己的安全。”
疫情期間,蘇啟雲將保潔的時間提前了2個小時開始,推遲了3個小時下班。
“醫護人員衝在了戰疫的最前沿,他們最危險。”他說,我幫不上什麼忙,只有把廁所搞乾淨,讓他們在整潔、安全的環境中方便。
Fifty-two-year-old Li Yufeng and her husband Su Qiyun are both sanitation workers in Wuhan. On February 5, Jianghan makeshift hospital was completed and began to receive COVID-19 patients. Li learned that the hospital was in need of sanitation workers, so she signed up for the mission without hesitation.
疫情發生後,這對環衛夫妻,相距僅一路之隔,卻只能以視頻的方式,相互關心鼓勵。
但蘇啟雲笑著說——
“妻子在艙內,我在艙外,我們夫妻能夠在一起戰鬥,是件幸福的事。”
Jianghan makeshift hospital has 120 portable toilets and two fixed toilets. Li was selected as the squad leader to disinfect toilets. She said that cleaning the hospital is much harder than cleaning the streets, because the protective suits, gloves, masks, and goggles hindered her movements. Every time Li finished a 10-hour work shift, she was soaked in sweat.
When Li was disinfecting inside the makeshift hospital, her husband Su was cleaning another toilet outside the hospital. Sometimes they encouraged each other through video calls.
"What a happy thing that we can fight together," Su said with a smile.
社區“送藥人”:能幫別人減輕點痛苦就值了
The community volunteer who purchases medication for residents throughout the city
1月23日開始,武漢多家醫院陸續改造為新冠肺炎定點醫院。2月11日,武漢開始對小區進行封閉管理。
在封閉管理的抗疫期間,武漢40多萬重症慢性病患者面臨巨大困境——
接下來,他們該怎麼買救命的藥?
按照武漢市社區封閉要求,各區嚴格落實藥品社區代購,由社區安排工作人員或志願者幫助門診重症慢性疾病患者進行購藥。
很快,社區購藥志願者的身影出現在武漢各家藥店裡,這其中就包括49歲的葉九思。他說,“在家裡聽到外面喊我沒藥吃怎麼辦啊,我就知道我該站出來了。”
葉九思自己也是一名重症慢性病患者,這讓他對患者吃不上藥的無助感同身受。
於是,略懂醫藥知識的他,於2月24日主動申請為居民提供買藥送藥服務。
On February 11, the Wuhan Center for Disease Control and Prevention ordered all residential areas to restrict the movement of people who live there. The move limited access to necessities such as medicine, which could only be accessed through online procurement or distribution by shopping malls and supermarkets. With more than 400,000 people with severe chronic diseases in Wuhan, access to life-saving medicine became a serious problem.
疫情暴發初期,武漢只有兩家重症慢性病藥房。下午2點半開始排隊,晚上10點多拿到藥,這是葉九思的常規節奏。送完藥回家躺在床上,他常常渾身難受。
為了避免因為過度勞累發病,葉九思只能加大自己的藥量。
因為有些藥品要跑好幾個藥房才能買到,葉九思每天都要騎行20多公里。代購才半個月,他的車就騎壞了,不得已只能徵用女兒的車。
On February 23, Wuhan recruited volunteers to provide food and purchase medication for residents in closed communities throughout the city. Ye Jiusi was one of the volunteers who answered the city's call. Having once worked in the healthcare industry and living with a severe chronic illness himself, Ye was keenly aware of the anxiety and helplessness people living with chronic illnesses felt under such circumstances.
成為志願者後,葉九思的妻子怕他感染新冠肺炎,堅決不讓他去醫院代購藥。
然而當葉九思看著腫瘤患者已經斷藥一個星期,他還是一路小跑奔向醫院——蛇形跑位,儘量減少感染的概率,只為能讓患者在當天能吃上藥。
這一刻,他是重症慢性病患者心中的藥神。
沒有利益回報,冒著生命危險,甚至有時還會遭到居民誤解……對於這些,葉九思看得很淡,“只要能幫別人減輕點痛苦,這輩子就值了。”
他說,只想在別人需要幫助的時候,儘自己作為平民百姓的一份心。
In the beginning, there were only two severe chronic disease pharmacies in Wuhan. It was Ye's daily routine to start queuing at 2:30 p.m. He would receive the medicine at 10 p.m. or even later. Because some medication was scarce and difficult to buy, Ye rode more than 20 kilometers a day on average.
"As long as there is another patient in need, I will continue to do it," said Ye.
世上沒有從天而降的英雄,只有挺身而出的凡人。
在2020年這個特別的“五一”,與他們一樣的,千千萬萬個閃爍著人性光輝的凡人,都將被永遠銘記,永遠感念。
