The deeds and award speeches of people who touched China in 2021 include Zhang Dingyu, who is faltering and racing against time, just wanting to win one more second for his patients; who is terminally ill and dealing with the new crown, and cannot care about the death of his loved ones. In this battle, you stand between the god of death and the patient. That night, songs floated over the city: We built a new Great Wall with flesh and blood.
Jinyintan Hospital in Wuhan City, Hubei Province was the first designated hospital to receive COVID-19 patients, and all the patients admitted were severe and critically ill patients. Dean Zhang Dingyu concealed his condition of ALS and ignored his wife who was infected with COVID-19. He has been on the front line of the fight against the epidemic. He said that although he felt guilty, he did not need to make a choice at the time and felt very happy to be able to help others.
Moving China
In the summer of 2020, Lujiang County, Anhui Province suffered a once-in-a-century flood. On July 22, the Shidawei dike in Lujiang County burst. About 6,500 people were trapped by the flood and were in critical condition.
On the same day, Chen Lu, the political instructor of the Lujiang County Fire Rescue Brigade in Anhui Province, led the brigade to 5 towns and fought continuously, successfully relocating 2,665 people. During the rescue process, the breach suddenly expanded, and the rubber boat the rescue team was riding was caught in the whirlpool and rolled over. Chen Lu, who was only 36 years old, died heroically.
“Don’t worry, I will protect Lujiang” was Chen Lu’s promise to his father, and it was also a promise to the country and the people that he fulfilled with his life. We find you among the gorgeous mountain flowers. Nature hits you with wind and snow, and you respond with singing. Destiny puts you on a precipice, but you bring fragrance to the world. Don’t be afraid of being crushed into dust, have no intention of struggling for spring, and express your stubbornness to the world with your life in full bloom. You are the osmanthus on the cliff and the plum in the snow.
