Huang Yang, a classmate of our class of 89, is a doctor who fought in Wuhan. At the beginning of the anti-epidemic, when faced with a serious shortage of protective materials, she made a weak cry for help in the group, which made the students nervous. Therefore, overseas and domestic, every student began to look for protective materials as much as possible. Unexpectedly, things are so serious. In order to have a supply of goods and meet the requirements of medical standards, price is no longer a factor for everyone to consider. COVID-19 swept through the silence of the Spring Festival. However, unity is strength, and we can see the truth in times of crisis.
When everyone was at a loss to find medical supplies, Zhang Chi firmly negotiated with suppliers of various channels step by step, persevering and always looking for protective supplies. The Chairman and Vice-Chairman of the Preparatory Committee made a decision without hesitation at the first time, and donated as much as possible to Wuhan with the rest of the donation from the celebration.
Faced with the uncertainty of the price and transportation of protective materials, the donation time has been delayed for a long time. The medical protective goggles reserved in advance were cancelled because they were determined to be state-controlled materials. The Preparatory Committee decided to donate medical masks according to the development of the epidemic. At that time, the mask market was basically futures speculation, and the goods were paid first. Many materials can't be obtained after payment, and some of them are of poor quality and can't be used by front-line doctors. So far, we have donated the following materials:
In this donation activity, Zhang Chi was unable to receive the goods due to the closure of his residential area. Zhang offered to help him receive the goods and deliver them. There is no high-profile publicity, no elaborate photos, and only hard-won materials are carefully and carefully packaged and sent to Wuhan. This is the responsibility of 89 students in No.2 Middle School.
At the same time, Dong, the 89th alumnus of No.2 Middle School, and the president of Qingdao Yishengjian Orthopedic Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine are also taking action. On the evening of October 29th, 65438, Qingdao Yishengjian and Qingdao Xingxin Hospital set up a medical team overnight-this is the first non-public hospital in China to help Wuhan medical team, and set out to help Wuhan on October 30th, 65438. When I arrived in Wuhan, I realized that the frontline materials were in short supply. They contacted the rear hospital urgently, purchased and donated six ventilators worth 400,000 yuan and protective materials worth 80,000 yuan to Hanyang Hospital to fully protect the front line against the epidemic.
In the process of anti-epidemic treatment, the members of the medical team, together with the medical staff of the local hospital, achieved excellent results of "zero death of hospitalized patients, quick cure and discharge, and zero infection of medical staff", which was highly praised by Hanyang Hospital and Hanyang District Epidemic Prevention and Control Headquarters. On the morning of March 25th, the medical team successfully completed the stage task of supporting Hanyang Hospital to fight against COVID-19 for 53 days and returned from Wuhan.
At the critical moment of epidemic prevention and anti-epidemic, Qingdao Yishengjian Orthopedic Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine distributed 6,543.8+0.5 million disposable medical masks worth more than 400,000 yuan purchased from overseas free of charge to enterprises in Beizhai area, focusing on ensuring enterprises to resume work and production.
On March 13, Yi Shengjian donated 20,000 masks to Haishan School again to show his concern for the safety of teachers and students, as well as his great love for medical ethics and social responsibility.
Under the same sky, Chinese Americans are preparing to celebrate the New Year as usual. When the first overseas help letter appeared on WeChat, everyone's attention was focused on Wuhan, China. There are more than 30 American alumni of Grade 89 in No.2 Middle School, distributed in more than a dozen states in the United States. Everyone cares about the domestic epidemic situation in different ways, contributes money to various Chinese associations and organizations, and actively organizes protective equipment for domestic hospitals.
Take Nanwan Town, where Aring Zhang is a classmate, as an example. The population is less than 20 thousand, and there are about 300 Chinese. From 65438+123 October, they decided to postpone the celebration of the Spring Festival Evening and shift their focus to Wuhan for disaster relief. As a member of the Chinese Association, Aring Zhang felt the enthusiasm of overseas Chinese for the motherland overseas.
On the morning of 23rd, a fund-raising call was issued, and nearly 1 10,000 USD was raised in just one day. That night, I decided to designate domestic hospitals to donate, contact the surrounding Chinese communities and integrate resources. From teleconference to division of labor and cooperation; From appealing for donations to finding sources of goods; From docking the charity Federation to finding a suitable receiving hospital; From closely following the adjustment of customs policies to determining logistics and airlines, we use American time in the daytime and China time in the evening, and we are running around Qixin together.
In the case of government procurement and large donations from major enterprises, overseas Chinese in Boston delivered the first batch of high-quality medical products to Shanghai Customs through ThermoFisher Company in the United States within one week, and finally transferred them to designated hospitals in Hubei. All the hardships and puzzles during the overseas donation disappeared at the moment when the hospital received the goods.
With the spread of the epidemic in the United States, Chinese people put self-help on the work agenda, set up various working groups, connected with public health in the town, fire fighting in schools and police stations, and reminded villagers to pay attention to personal protection and hygiene. When the American epidemic broke out in early March, the Chinese Association actively called on Chinese to donate food and medical supplies, and used the donation experience of Wuhan at that time to start a new round of reverse donation.
When I first met domestic volunteers online, I divided the donation into 100 masks and sent them to the homes of American volunteers. Parents of domestic students send 100 masks to the United States, and many a mickle makes a mickle; Thousands of overseas people who have returned to China have shipped masks; Mothers sew masks for nurses at home to protect hard-won masks; The hospitals and regions donated at the beginning helped overseas Chinese with double enthusiasm and materials!
Chinese organizations in New Jersey, where Zhang Hui is located, also began to donate protective equipment to hospitals, making contributions to local Chinese and their families.
At the same time, in Canada, the epidemic is also spreading, Ontario has entered a state of emergency, and front-line medical staff are in a very high risk situation. There are also many retired medical staff who have been recalled to hospitals and given up their wages to join the anti-epidemic front line. Many doctors collectively issued a petition calling on the federal and provincial governments to face up to the shortage of medical resources. I hope the government can provide more adequate medical supplies. These supplies include N95 masks, surgical masks, gloves, protective clothing masks, goggles and other hand sanitizers for disinfection.
Viruses have no national boundaries, and students' hearts have no national boundaries. With the support of local Chinese members, the Toronto Alumni Association of Qingdao University, to which Ma belongs, launched a donation activity of more than 50 people to overcome the difficulty of Canada's strict qualification requirements for donating medical materials, and donated N95 masks, disposable surgical masks and other medical protection products urgently needed by local hospitals to North York Hospital, nursing homes and people in need. The donation is still in progress.
In the year of Gengzi, a small mask revolves around the earth, bearing what kind of deep friendship and feelings of home and country. Although the materials donated by everyone are only a drop in the bucket, it is a gathering of love, confidence and hope. There is no winter that can't pass, and there is no spring that can't come. We believe that all the sufferings will pass, and more light will shine in this sudden darkness. When the global economy moves towards the era of community, villagers in the global village can cross national boundaries because of love, and Qi Xin will work together to defeat the virus! Come on, China, come on, world!
