Human beings are enduring a heavy and difficult time together. After the outbreak of viral pneumonia at the end of 2019 in Wuhan, it shocked the world and shocked different countries and different nations. People with conscience will always connect the lives of others with their own destiny.

At this time, an old man in his 70s rushed to the inland from Hong Kong to visit his father's old comrades-in-arms Chai Jianhua and He Jiafu. He Jiafu was very excited after hearing the news, so he took his three grandchildren, granddaughters Nanyangsheng, Nanshanyun, Nanliwa, and younger brother to Chai Jianhua's home.

Leaning on crutches, He Jiafu told the three children along the way that this old man was a reporter for mainland and Hong Kong media before retiring, and his name was Pan Guangfu. Back then, Pan Guangfu’s father was also forced to join the national army when he was arresting a young man. During the civil war, he went to Hong Kong, abandoned the army to practice medicine, and worked in Zhengrong Pharmacy in Causeway Bay, Hong Kong. Later, he opened a Guangfu clinic and let his son Pan Guangfu run the clinic. Pan Guangfu also has a lot of research on Chinese medicine. He came to the mainland this time to accompany Chai Jianhua to Hong Kong to meet his old father.

He Jiafu sighed and said: "They also hoped that I would go to Hong Kong together, but I have poor legs and feet, so I gave up this opportunity. I asked you three brothers and sisters to meet this Pan Guangfu, and I also let you listen to what Uncle Pan said about the outside world. story. If possible, I suggest you also go to Hong Kong to see.”

The three brothers and sisters seldom chatted with their grandfather, talking and laughing along the way, very happy.

After a while, He Jiafu and his party arrived at Chai Jianhua's house.

Chai Jianhua was already waiting in the yard with a kind old man named Pan Guangfu. Old Pan's hair was carefully combed without any mess. But the silver-like white hair is still clearly visible in the black hair. The silver hair is half hidden and half hidden, looming. The wrinkled lines on his face seemed to be the twists and turns of the past. A pair of benevolent eyes are piercing. In the slightly sunken eye sockets, the dark brown pupils quietly tell the vicissitudes of the years.

After seeing Pan Guangfu, He Jiafu happily asked, "How is your father? Your father should be the same age as me and Mr. Chai. He is 95 years old this year."

Pan Guangfu smiled and said: "Yes, yes, he is very good. My father has been studying traditional Chinese medicine. Recently, he has been paying attention to the epidemic situation in Wuhan and studying the epidemic prevention and treatment of epidemic viruses. Influenced by him, I also helped him collect some relevant data. "

After making arrangements for the guests, Chai Jianhua sat in the yard and chatted together.

Pan Guangfu said: "My father has a special affection for Wuhan. He once participated in the defense of Wuhan. He loves Wuhan. He told me that Wuhan, also known as Jiangcheng, is one of the super-large cities and national central cities in China and the capital of Hubei Province. , a sub-provincial city, the largest city in central China and the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, and also the center of politics, economy, finance, commerce, logistics, science and technology, culture, education, transportation and communication in the central region, and a national historical and cultural city. The reputation of "the thoroughfare of nine provinces". During the civil war, my father went to Hong Kong, abandoned the army to practice medicine, and opened a Guangfu clinic by himself, so I was in charge of the clinic. But after I entrusted the clinic to my two sons, I chose The job of a reporter. I came to the mainland this time to follow my father's instructions to take Mr. Chai to Hong Kong."

Pan Guangfu added: "When I came to the mainland this time, I first went to Wuhan to visit some media friends. Although I have retired, writers will never stop writing. Wuhan is enduring a heavy and difficult period. Recently, I began to collect and edit media reports about the outbreak of the Wuhan epidemic, and named the relevant materials "World Epidemic Chronicle". As a media person and writer, in the face of this sudden world disaster, it is important Dayi, pick up a pen and use the truth to record this period of time, which requires responsibility and reflection. This is the responsibility entrusted to me by the times. The world focuses on Wuhan, and I have a new understanding of Wuhan. With the continuous spread of the epidemic, media reports have become It has become the focus of people's attention, but rumors, rumors, and rumors are also flooding everywhere, and people began to question the authenticity of the news. How to truly record this period of history? I have collected some relevant reports."

Pan Guangfu began to tell stories about patients with pneumonia of unknown cause in Wuhan, but these things are not reported in China.

Chai Jianhua and He Jiafu and the three brothers and sisters of Nanyang Sheng fell into confusion.
