peaceful years

Spring Festival is the most important traditional festival in China, a time for family reunions, visiting relatives and friends, marking the end of one year and the beginning of another. People working away from home, students studying abroad, and friends scattered across the country all gather from all directions, sharing their experiences of the past year. Households gather together, immersed in the joy and busyness of the approaching New Year. However, a silently erupting disaster struck everyone unexpectedly.

Since 2020 the beginning of the year, some news about the novel coronavirus pneumonia epidemic could be seen on social media. However, because the reported number of infections remained low, and coupled with other events, we didn't pay much attention. But when we went home for the holiday, the news started to change. Still immersed in the joy of the holiday and the approaching Spring Festival, we didn't take it seriously. Later, an expert said that the disease was not contagious, and those following the news breathed a sigh of relief. However, as the New Year approached, Academician Zhong Nanshan arrived in Wuhan, and bad news spread rapidly. A terrible virus had swept through China during our negligence and spread abroad. When it was taken seriously, we awoke as if from a dream; this was a catastrophe. The number of infections reported daily increased relentlessly, surpassing 2003 SARS in terms of severity. " At first, no one cared about the disaster. It was just a large fire, a drought, the extinction of a species, the disappearance of a city. Until the disaster affected everyone. ” This is a line from the Spring Festival film "The Wandering Earth," which unexpectedly became a reality this year.

The novel coronavirus pneumonia epidemic has touched the hearts of every Chinese person. While we adopted the method of staying home to isolate ourselves from the outside world and avoid infection, a group of people became the most beautiful reverse-flow heroes. They stayed at their posts day and night, unable to reunite with their families during the Spring Festival. They researched the virus strain, developed vaccines, treated patients, and comforted families. They worked day and night, racing against time to treat patients, build hospitals, and overcome difficulties. The strength of the nation was once again demonstrated to the world. As one saying goes: China is like this, there are always the bravest people protecting us. Only in times of difficulty can we have a deeper understanding of this.

In this epidemic, we saw doctors fighting on the front lines, tireless party cadres, ever-ready People's Liberation Army soldiers, and 1.4 billion lovely people paying attention to everything. Although in the past few days, we have witnessed some bad and heartbreaking things, such as 2 month 3 day, the Wall Street Journal openly published an article "China is the real sick man of Asia China is the real sick man of Asia )” , such as the death of whistleblower Dr. Li Wenliang on 2 month 7 day due to ineffective rescue. There are many things that always touch the nerves of the Chinese people. There is no such thing as peace and quiet; it's just that some people are carrying the burden for us. However, bad things are always in the minority; more good things have happened, are happening, and will happen. Everything is worth looking forward to.

We must deeply understand that our party and our country have made many efforts, and the efforts made by China have been recognized by most countries in the world. The WHO has stated: " Facts have proved that China's methods are successful ” . We must move forward resolutely, facing all this with a positive attitude. Those who are eager for chaos online can rest. Spring has arrived, and a vibrant China will emerge from the gloom, standing tall in the world with an inspiring appearance.
