Wake up（25）

 

25

 

As soon as the sun came out, the ground seemed to be on fire. There is not a shred of cloud in the sky, a scorching sun overhead, no wind, and all the trees are listlessly and lazily standing there. The weather is so hot, as if a little spark will cause an explosion. The earth is like a steamer, so hot that people can't breathe.

The summer is so hot that the little bird has gone to hide somewhere; the grass and trees hang their heads down; the dog is so hot that he sticks out his tongue and pants non-stop.

Lin Huiting and his wife Wanyan were walking together on the way to the old Chinese medicine doctor Chai Jianhua's clinic, and the wind was blowing like a heat wave. In summer, the clear river has become a good place for children to escape the summer heat and play. They frolicked in the water, playing water fights for a while, and fishing for a while, having a great time. Only Zhizhi could not stop making irritating calls on the branches, as if cheering for the scorching sun.

Although Lin Huiting is an old man in his 90s, he is very tall and very handsome. It can be imagined that he was very handsome and mighty when he was young. Lin Huiting still exuded a youthful look all over her body. Lin Huiting's head is bald, with only some hair around it, which is very similar to "Mediterranean". As long as there is a light shining on the top of his head, it can be described as golden, making people unable to open their eyes. He was wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses, and he looked very scholarly, and one could have a hunch that he was a professor. In fact, he was a student studying in the Soviet Union when he was young, and worked as an interpreter in the Foreign Affairs Bureau after returning to China. Apart from diabetes, Lin Huiting actually has no other diseases, and is quite healthy. Because he has a very good temper and seems to have a broad mind, everyone who knows Lin Huiting likes him very much.

Lin Huiting's wife Wanyan is also over eighty years old. She has a beautiful oval face, with gray hair hanging on both sides, she is very temperamental. Wanyan has a pair of curved willow-leaf eyebrows and smiling eyes, giving people an amiable feeling. Her smile is like a crescent moon, giving people an amiable feeling. His piercing eyes can easily detect everything around him. The beautiful voice is sometimes mellow and deep, and sometimes impassioned. Before she retired, she was a gentle, beautiful, and kind history professor. She also studied in the Soviet Union.

She is also tall, with a well-proportioned figure, and her mouth under the high bridge of the nose can always speak eloquently and eloquently. She always reminds students with a smile. She is very funny in class and always quotes some real life examples to add laughter to the class. But she is not as good at dressing up as other women, and she doesn't like to wear high heels. However, although he is old, he is not too old.

Lin Huiting and his wife Wanyan went to see old Chinese medicine doctor Chai Jianhua together today. They originally wanted to learn about the new crown epidemic.

On December 30, 2019, Li Wenliang, an ophthalmologist at Wuhan Central Hospital, saw a patient's test report showing a high-confidence positive indicator for the detection of SARS coronavirus. From the perspective of reminding fellow clinicians to pay attention to protection, he told his classmates In the group, a message about the epidemic situation in the South China Seafood Market was sent, and an early warning of prevention and control was issued to the outside world, and it was called the "whistleblower" of the epidemic.

But soon after, Li Wenliang and seven other doctors were warned and criticized by the local police station for "publishing false statements on the Internet", and he also faced the threat of criminal prosecution.

Li Wenliang was called to the police station on January 3. The Public Security Bureau asked him to sign a letter of admonition and issued a stern warning to him, admonishing him that if he does not follow the advice and repent and continue to engage in illegal activities, he will be punished by law.

The Wuhan police also issued a notice saying: Some netizens posted and forwarded false information on the Internet without verification, causing adverse social impact. After investigation and verification, the public security organ has summoned 8 offenders and dealt with them according to law. Li Wenliang is one of the eight "offenders".

After signing the admonishment, Li Wenliang continued to work in the hospital.

On January 8, Li Wenliang received an elderly patient with glaucoma. The next day, the patient developed a fever and symptoms of pneumonia. At that time, Li Wenliang highly suspected that the patient was suffering from this new type of pneumonia.

On January 10, Li Wenliang started to cough, then his condition worsened and he was admitted to the intensive care unit. Not only that, but later Li Wenliang's parents were also infected with the new coronavirus and were sent to the hospital.

Li Wenliang issued a warning message. In fact, what he didn't know at the time was that it was not the SARS virus, but a brand new virus. However, with the ferment of the virus epidemic, the death and infection cases are increasing day by day.

At this moment, the Wuhan authorities have been trying to prevent people from "making rumors and spreading rumors" and to stabilize people's hearts.

On January 20, China finally acknowledged the seriousness of the virus outbreak and subsequently imposed a lockdown on Wuhan. Wuhan implemented an unprecedented lockdown plan. No one said that these eight "whistleblowers" were rumor makers. But the problem is, it's too late, the virus has already spread in Wuhan and all over China.

At the beginning of January 2020, the vast majority of Chinese people were still at work, immersed in preparations and anticipation for the upcoming Spring Festival. But unbeknownst to many, a new type of coronavirus is quietly wreaking havoc in the Chinese metropolis of Wuhan.

"The nucleic acid test result was positive today, the dust has settled, and the diagnosis is finally confirmed," Li Wenliang said on January 30. His previous tests were negative, but the last one finally confirmed his diagnosis.

Li Wenliang's Weibo post immediately had thousands of comments expressing support. Some described him as a hero, but worried about what Li Wenliang's experience reflected in China's national conditions. "In the future, if doctors find signs of infectious diseases, they will be even more afraid, and they will not dare to warn in advance." Some people commented: "China needs tens of millions of Li Wenliang to have a safer public health environment."

Suddenly, news came that Dr. Li Wenliang, the "whistleblower" who was the first to disclose the epidemic in Wuhan, died of pneumonia caused by the new crown virus. Based on reports from China's official "People's Daily", "Global Times", "Beijing News", and Jiemian News on February 6, Li Wenliang's heart stopped at 9:30 that night. He is only 34 years old, leaving behind his wife and 5-year-old child. But within two hours of Chinese state media announcing Li Wenliang's death, numerous online posts were deleted. Many Chinese media have even changed their tune and said that Li Wenliang is "still in a state of rescue."

However, the official microblog of Wuhan Central Hospital later released a message saying, "Li Wenliang, an ophthalmologist in our hospital, was unfortunately infected in the fight against the pneumonia epidemic caused by the new coronavirus infection. Passed away at 1:58pm, for which we are deeply saddened and condolences."

The World Health Organization (WHO) immediately expressed its condolences to Li Wenliang's death through its official Twitter page, and thanked him for "the work he has done in this epidemic." The spread of the virus later triggered a public health emergency of international concern.

Many Chinese people have described Li Wenliang as a tragic hero on social media, blaming local government authorities for their ineffective response to the outbreak. The death of a Chinese doctor who tried to warn the world about the novel coronavirus has been tragically lost.

Chinese President Xi Jinping had earlier spoken out to reassure the public and the rest of the world that China would defeat the novel coronavirus. The Xinhua News Agency quoted Xi Jinping as saying, "The whole country is united as one, responded with all-out efforts, adopted the most thorough and strictest prevention and control measures, and launched a people's war to prevent and control the epidemic."

The People's Daily finally wrote on its US Twitter, "Deeply mourn the death of Dr. Li Wenliang in Wuhan... After all-out rescue efforts, Dr. Li Wenliang passed away at 2:58 a.m. on February 7."

Some Chinese media have described him as a "hero willing to speak the truth", while other commentators have paid tribute to him with poems, photos and drawings. "Light up the candles to pay tribute to our heroes," one person wrote on Weibo. "You are a ray of light in the dark."

The National Health Commission of China released the latest situation on the pneumonia outbreak of the new coronavirus infection as of 24:00 on February 6. 31 provinces (autonomous regions, municipalities) and Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps reported 3,143 new confirmed cases (2,447 cases in Hubei) , 387 new cured and discharged cases (184 cases in Hubei), and a total of 31,161 confirmed cases. There were 73 new deaths and a total of 636 deaths.

Lin Huiting and his wife Wanyan met Chai Jianhua, an old Chinese doctor, and asked about the new crown epidemic.

Chai Jianhua, a veteran Chinese medicine doctor, said: "I have noticed the epidemic. A Chinese official said that the crisis may be nearing its peak, but there are only more than 1,300 cured and discharged patients, and new confirmed cases are still rising. The official said, 'I With every confidence that we can win, the biggest challenge remains controlling the spread of the outbreak and getting all suspected cases to hospital.' However, the World Health Organization (WHO) said it was too early to say the outbreak had peaked .”

There have been two deaths outside mainland China, in Hong Kong and the Philippines, but uncertainty over the virus's lethality and contagion has led countries to quarantine hundreds and limit travel to and from China.

The epidemic spread rapidly around the world. In Japan, about 3,700 passengers of the Diamond Princess cruise ship face health screenings and at least two weeks of quarantine on board, with 61 confirmed cases of the novel coronavirus on board.

In Hong Kong, about 3,600 passengers and staff members of the World Dream cruise ship have been quarantined for three days, with three confirmed cases on board. Taiwan has banned international cruise ships from docking.

In China, the world's second-largest economy, cities have been shut down, flights have been canceled and factories have shut down, severing supply chains critical to international businesses.

Concerns about the virus and its related fallout reignited in financial markets on Friday, with stock indexes in China, Hong Kong and Asia falling again after days of gains. Investors are watching Chinese trade data due in the morning for an early look at how the virus and draconian measures to contain its spread are affecting the flow of goods.

Lin Huiting and Wanyan are both worried about the new crown epidemic. The old Chinese doctor Chai Jianhua was also lost in thought.

In that winter, there was no lush vegetation, the leaves of the holly were very dry, and the old elm had few branches and leaves. But the sun in winter is no longer like that big stove. The ground is frozen and necrotic, and even the air is frozen.

But what is really worrying is not the severe cold in winter, but the suffocation brought by the epidemic to the whole society.
