On the local spirit and backbone of China’s ＂anti-epidemic＂ from the perspective of the world
Author: Zheng Guichu
During the fight against pneumonia in novel coronavirus, we were accompanied by a hit TV series, that is, "New World", which was about those people and things in old Beijing on the eve of the victory and peaceful liberation of Beiping. People in Peiping city don’t know when to liberate, just as we don’t know when to win this war without smoke. But as we all know, victory will come, and it is getting closer and closer to us. This victory will always be engraved in the history books, and future generations will know that we fought such a tough battle on the journey of realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
From a global perspective, the success of China’s "anti-epidemic" will also be a major victory for the whole world, because everyone is a family and infectious diseases are the common enemies of mankind. China is the country with the worst epidemic, and it is also a big country that can exert great ability to other countries. China’s performance and achievements are extremely important to the confidence and victory of the world. Just as the old Beijing dialect said, China recognized "Li Er"-integrity and principle, while China stood up for righteousness-caring and affectionate, while China was both energetic and courageous. Such a China will surely live up to expectations.
China, be angry!
Some people may not be familiar with the word "local gas", which is an old saying in Beijing. What does it mean? It is said that a person is reasonable, reasonable, disciplined, broad-minded, thoughtful and thick. Only the most upright, reasonable and courageous "pay attention to people" can be called local anger. China, on the other hand, is a country with local anger.
China first did his own thing well. Controlling the epidemic is the biggest thing, and the virus is our enemy. Our whole country moved up and down. We were saddened to "blockade" Wuhan, we extended the Spring Festival holiday, we "pulled out" the fire mountain and the Raytheon mountain, we stepped up scientific research, our people’s soldiers went to the front on New Year’s Eve, and we vowed to punish the "black-hearted" businessmen for bankruptcy …
There are also our hard-core village chiefs, who broadcast over and over again with loudspeakers and warned everyone not to go out in rural dialect, and their voices were hoarse. We listened to it funny, but we felt warm in our hearts. Our community’s aunts and grandfathers guard against every entrance and exit, which immediately enhances people’s sense of security, but it suddenly occurred to us that their physique is not as good as that of young people and they should be better protected.
Each of us actively responded to the call of the country, shut ourselves in, pay close attention to the epidemic situation at any time, do a good job of self-protection, and teach our families protection at the same time, and even had to quarrel with our uncles and uncles who insisted on visiting.
Even more, our medical workers who fought in the front line worked continuously for one day and one night. They didn’t have time to eat in water, and they didn’t take off their protective clothing and masks. We looked at their bruised cheeks and cried at the news of someone’s sacrifice.
Every angry us together is a angry China. A series of unprecedented strict and comprehensive prevention and control measures have gradually achieved results. We have not only effectively curbed the epidemic raging throughout the country, but also effectively curbed its spread around the world. We have tried our best to cause less trouble to other countries. Facts have proved that we have done a good job. At present, the global infection cases are less than 1% of the domestic cases in China.
Some foreign media said that China is "a province’s price for the comprehensiveness of the world". This sentence is actually not correct. It should be said that Han and Hubei exchanged their own situation for the comprehensiveness of China, while China’s efforts for the whole country will not bear the burden of Han and Hubei, and seek the comprehensiveness of the world with the comprehensiveness of China.
China communicates well with the outside world at the same time. The epidemic is the devil, and we can’t let the devil hide. China has always been in an open, transparent and responsible attitude, releasing epidemic information at home and abroad in time, and strengthening cooperation with the international community.
The Chairman of the Supreme Leader met face to face with the Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO) and frankly exchanged information on the prevention and control of the China epidemic. He also kept in touch with leaders of Cambodia, Germany, France, North Korea, Senegal, Saudi Arabia, the United States and other countries in the form of meetings, telephone calls and letters. In just over ten days, State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi has spoken to at least 22 foreign ministers or senior officials to closely communicate the progress in fighting the epidemic and express gratitude for their support and condolences. These exchanges and communications have effectively demonstrated a strong attitude of transparency and openness to the outside world, released a strong signal of winning the fight against the epidemic, and enhanced the strong confidence of the international community.
We identified pathogens in a record short time, completed gene sequencing, and immediately shared the research results with the world, which refreshed human’s understanding of novel coronavirus. WHO Director-General Tan Desai said that this is "not only protecting the people of China, but also protecting the people of the world." The chairman of the German Federal Agency for Disease Control and Prevention said, "I want to pay tribute to my colleagues in China!"
Earlier, we invited experts from WHO, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan to visit Wuhan in time, and some observers from large virus laboratories entered the country to work. National Health Commission and Wuhan Health and Health Commissions hold press conferences every day to provide information about the epidemic situation to the outside world, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs also holds the first online press conference. People are not in place, so the information should be in place. We also take the initiative to strengthen information communication with other countries and conduct regular exchanges and discussions with WHO.
We have stepped up coordination with the outside world to ensure that a large number of overseas aid materials are in place. With the continuous development of the epidemic and the attention and support of the international community, more and more overseas materials have flocked to Wuhan. International materials are also an important source of materials. If they are not in place, it will kill people and chill people’s hearts. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs responded quickly and sent a working group to Wuhan at the fastest speed. With high morale and continuous fighting, it successfully completed various tasks including coordinating international materials. State Councilor Wang Yi’s evaluation is-"Good job!"
We are always concerned about the safety of our overseas compatriots and take home our families stranded in other countries. On January 31st, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced that China had decided to send a chartered plane to take Hubei compatriots home. On the same day, the first batch of 76 Wuhan compatriots returned from Thailand. Luo Yan, who was unable to go home in Singapore, said: "When I saw on the news that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that it would take us home, tears came out at that time. Thank the motherland!" Together with 146 other compatriots, she arrived in Wuhan on February 5.
We are highly responsible and make every effort to protect the lives of overseas citizens. We have effectively responded to the concerns of the international community and provided a reliable basis for all parties in the world to formulate epidemic prevention policies. We have reached broad consensus and enhanced world confidence. This is the proper meaning and obligation of China as a big country, and it is also the anger of China. China, who is angry, can win.
China, have backbone!
Pay attention to people, not only to be angry, but also to have backbone.
We should say what we should, and we are not used to things and words that are not particular. China’s "anti-epidemic" is in full swing, and some people have done some things that are not so kind. We immediately issued a rational and objective voice, which was reasonable, beneficial and restrained, and was completely disinfected to set the record straight.
There are people with ulterior motives-some say that the epidemic in China is beneficial to their own industries, some say that China is "the sick man of East Asia", some use the epidemic topic to speak ill of the China system, deliberately incite social opposition, and even plot a "color revolution". Should these people reflect on whether their country has done a good job in the sense of responsibility for the safety of citizens’ lives, the ability to cope with the epidemic and the mortality rate of the epidemic?
Some people added fuel to the fire by adding insult to injury-some took the opportunity to pass the China-related bill to violently interfere in China’s internal affairs, but also ignored scientific facts, evacuated consular staff, completely restricted the entry of China citizens, and raised the travel warning to China to the highest level. It’s more terrible to kick from behind than not to pull when you are in trouble. Should these people presuppose whether they want to suffer such unfair treatment if they are in trouble?
Some people who danced with the wind and blindly followed-some were panicked or have it both ways-made overreactions and restrictive measures, some suggested that all citizens in China should leave China, and some unilaterally announced the suspension of all direct flights between the two countries. Should these people calm down, whether these practices are scientific, necessary and correct, and what they did in the face of the rapid epidemic in other big countries in the past.
It is the duty of every country to protect its citizens, but it should be realistic and take reasonable protective measures according to China and its own situation. In particular, it is not appropriate to joke about humanitarianism for one’s own political purposes. In the 1920s, people should believe in science and abandon discrimination and "cold war mentality". WHO has repeatedly stressed that there is no reason to take unnecessary measures to restrict international travel, and called on the international community not to believe rumors and stick to science. ICAO also issued an announcement, strongly urging countries to follow WHO recommendations. Taking care of China by deviating from scientific standards and breaking conventions will not help to fight the epidemic, but will only increase the "irrational fear" of the public.
Our comments or actions, the clarification of the clarification, the refutation of the refutation and the negotiation, supported by science, supported by professional words, supported by facts and compared with past cases of infectious diseases in the world, are well-founded and convincing, and have played a positive role.
We rely on ourselves to speed up scientific research. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out that no one will give us a bright China by relying on ourselves and taking the road of self-reliance. As the old saying goes, it is better to ask for help than to ask for help. We strengthen international cooperation and sincerely thank external support, but we have never been lazy, and we have been racing against time to break through the problem of treatment and epidemic prevention.
Our researchers identified pathogens, completed gene sequencing and isolated the world’s first strain with the fastest speed, which laid a solid foundation for global virus research and vaccine development. We constantly update the speed of nucleic acid detection, constantly find drugs that inhibit the virus, and constantly make progress in the observation and research of therapeutic drugs. Remdesivir has high hopes from the public, but many experts have warned that scientific verification is indispensable, and there is no specific medicine yet. Academician Zhong Nanshan, Academician Li Lanjuan, Senior General Chen Wei and a number of top domestic experts and laboratories devoted themselves to epidemic prevention and treatment. They vividly explained Chinese’s inner introverted character-he never despaired in difficulties and obstacles, kept his feet on the ground all the time, kept in mind rationality from beginning to end, and never believed in any savior in the world.
We quickly resumed production capacity and fully guaranteed the global supply chain and industrial chain. China is a world factory and a world market, and it is an indispensable part of the global supply chain. Since the outbreak, many enterprises around the world have been hit. Japanese Nissan, American Ford, French Peugeot, Renault and other automakers have announced the temporary closure of their factories, and IKEA in Sweden has suspended its store operations, and Starbucks in the United States has warned that it will suffer a financial blow. At the same time, we should also see that with the gradual spread of the epidemic worldwide, the global supply of medical materials may face a major test. According to WHO, the world is facing a long-term shortage of personal protective equipment such as masks and gloves, and the current demand is 100 times the normal level.
The world asks anxiously, can China’s production capacity keep up with the epidemic? China responded with practical actions. At present, the production capacity of medical materials in Hubei has recovered rapidly. The state has established a system of temporary storage and purchasing of medical materials in time, so as to improve the enthusiasm of enterprises to resume production and expand production. Many areas have also accelerated the examination and approval of the registration of epidemic prevention-related enterprises. In particular, we have a strong sense of corporate social responsibility. Many mask manufacturers have "three shifts" during holidays, diapers factories have been converted into masks and protective clothing, and petrochemical enterprises have introduced mask production lines, all of which are fully transporting "ammunition" for the front line. China’s mask production capacity accounts for 50% of the world’s total, and the world’s protective equipment supply chain cannot be separated from China. It is believed that "Made in China" can also contribute to the global "anti-epidemic" battle after the pressure of epidemic situation in China is reduced.
Our enterprises have resumed work in an orderly manner, and small and medium-sized businesses have also been fully mobilized. In the next step, the state will also cultivate and expand new economic growth points, formulate and introduce industrial, financial and trade policies and measures to hedge the impact of the epidemic according to the situation, create a better business environment, and help enterprises withstand the pressure. I believe that the effectiveness of these measures will gradually emerge. Only when this big machine, China, operates normally can the global supply and industry "remain unbroken". China’s efforts are not only for China itself, but also for the world economy.
China tried its best to eliminate external negative interference factors for its full-scale "anti-epidemic". Although China has external support, it still firmly relies on itself to find the light. China bravely shoulders the responsibility of the world, and takes a long-term view to stabilize the supply chain and industrial chain. China with backbone can win.
China, my friend!
A friend in need is a friend indeed, and it is this epidemic that makes China, who is angry with the bureau, see more clearly that we have so many friends who are angry with the bureau. The international community paid close attention to the China epidemic and offered us a helping hand.
Some donated epidemic prevention materials-by noon on February 5, at least 21 governments and UNICEF had donated prevention and control materials to China. But this is not all. Friendly people from all over the world have taken the initiative to send materials to China, Hubei and Wuhan through various channels.
Some provide technical support-on February 5, Russian medical and epidemic prevention experts arrived in Wuhan to assist China in tackling the vaccine problem. On February 6th, the clinical trial of antiviral drug Remdesivir was started in Jinyintan Hospital, and American companies provided research drugs free of charge.
Some convey friendship and love-"Come on Wuhan" has become a hot word on the global network. It is not a fashion trend, not a luxury brand, but it is more precious, because it is a true feeling and a beautiful blessing. Prime Minister Ba Yu of Thailand recorded a video and shouted "China and Thailand are United, come on together!" Singaporean Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong called on everyone not to ask nationality, but only to ask about the epidemic. "Join forces with China to win this battle!" Pakistani Foreign Minister Qureshi said, "Stand with the brotherly people of China!" Japanese Foreign Minister Motegi Toshimitsu said, "A friend who helps you when you are in trouble is a true friend!"
A French doctor insisted on staying in Wuhan to tide over the difficulties, preparing champagne at home and reuniting with his family after the epidemic ended. Croatia’s former boxing champion bought 20,000 masks and sent them to Suzhou. What impressed me the most was that British primary school students and German middle school students sang "Let the world be full of love" respectively. They stood there and sang seriously-"Gently lift your face and dry your tears for you", trying to heal Wuhan with their songs.
The above examples are far from all. Good people and deeds emerge one after another, and goodwill comes from every corner of the world. We should all thank them for every material, every love, every donation, every song and every tear they provide. Thank you, friends, thank you, children. China’s heart is stronger and the people of the world are more United. People seem to have realized a sentence from the German philosopher Schweizer overnight, "Sharing weal and woe is the only way to give meaning to all people’s lives."
We often say that we advocate the whole world to jointly promote the building of a community of human destiny. Someone asked, will the community of human destiny really be realized? I think, the more I look at human kindness, the more I will believe it will come true. "The mountains and rivers are exotic, and the moon and the sky are the same" is a common fate, or far away from the horizon, but the world is cool and hot, and you and I are all one. "No clothes, no robes" is a common fate, and there are difficulties and obstacles, but we Qi Xin work together to meet the challenges.
As the TV series "New World" said, a beautiful world "must be warm and reliable." The so-called beautiful world is not never suffering, but experiencing suffering and then overcoming it. In the play, the serial killer "Little Red Coat" will eventually appear and be tried, Beiping will be peacefully liberated and the Republic will be established. For us, the epidemic will eventually pass, the revival will eventually be realized, and a better world will eventually come. Please believe that after this epidemic, we will move from beauty to better.
