"Post-90s" and "Post-00s" may still be children in the eyes of parents, but in this epidemic prevention and control battle, their figures are particularly eye-catching, and they tell us with practical actions that they have reached the age of social responsibility.
Youth is a story of breaking cocoons into butterflies and tempering into steel. In these stories, the "post-90s" and "post-00s" volunteers who are young have fulfilled their mission and responsibility.
Liu Qiongxiang: Building a warm line of defense for the elderly
Don’t dare to go out to buy food, can’t go out to see a doctor, no one to talk about psychological anxiety… Since the outbreak of the epidemic, many of the elderly have encountered difficulties in their daily lives. In order to help this special group safely and peacefully through the epidemic prevention and control period, a short-haired and thin post-90s "female man" stepped forward to provide thoughtful services for the elderly.
Her name is Liu Qiongxiang, and the Huyuantong Social Work Service Center where she is located serves more than 13,500 elderly people over the age of 75 all year round. Since receiving the epidemic prevention and control notice on New Year’s Eve, Liu Qiongxiang has given up the time to reunite with her family and devoted herself to the volunteer service work of epidemic prevention and control for the elderly.
"Uncle Zhang, don’t worry, I’ll find a way to help you solve it." On the evening of February 2, Liu Qiongxiang received a call from Uncle Zhang for help and softly calmed the old man’s emotions. On the phone, 90-year-old Uncle Zhang said that he may have caught a cold and had a slight cough, and his words revealed nervousness and anxiety. After learning about the situation, Liu Qiongxiang carefully inquired about the old man’s contact history and medical history, and then immediately contacted the doctor to diagnose the old man remotely. After confirming that the old man had a common cold, Liu Qiongxiang breathed a sigh of relief. Subsequently, Liu Qiongxiang bought back the corresponding medicine according to the doctor’s order and delivered it to Uncle Zhang’s house overnight. Arriving at the elderly’s home, Liu Qiongxiang carefully measured the elderly’s body temperature, wrote down the time, frequency and amount of medication on the paper, and repeatedly told the elderly to keep warm and take medicine on time.
There are countless similar things. But she firmly believes that "with the joint efforts of everyone, the day to defeat the epidemic will come soon!"
Wang Xinyu: MD graduate students report to their hometown health bureau
Wang Xinyu, a doctoral student majoring in immunology at Zhongshan Medical College, returned to her hometown of Zigui from Guangzhou. When she learned that the frontline medical staff was in a hurry, she called the county headquarters on the first day of the first lunar month and volunteered to participate in the frontline "epidemic" work.

Wang Xinyu, who was born in 1996, received the first task and her most memorable task – assisting the epidemic prevention and control headquarters in preparing the epidemic observation point of the University of Geology. From cleaning and disinfecting the room to placing the hospital bed, and traveling to and from the material reserve warehouse to receive and purchase medical and living materials, in less than a day and a half, Wang Xinyu turned an extremely simple student dormitory into an observation point with basic medical conditions for receiving visitors, and welcomed the first batch of COVID-19 pandemic visitors on the sixth day of the first lunar month.
In addition to the daily replenishment of medical and daily necessities at the observation point, Wang Xinyu is also responsible for counting the personal information of the close contacts of the visitors. Many times in order to update the dynamic information of the visitors and keep abreast of the latest situation of the epidemic, she needs to be busy late at night. Up to now, she has been holding on for more than a month.
Wang Xinyu, who was fighting on the front line, did not let go of her professional knowledge. Every night, she used her spare time to write a review article on COVID-19 under the guidance of her mentor, and published it online in the "Journal of Tropical Medicine" of Sun Yat-sen University, hoping to provide a weapon for victory in the fight against COVID-19.
"Post-90s" girl Wang Mei: I just want to do something meaningful
The sun is high, the outdoor temperature has risen to more than 20 degrees Celsius, and 27-year-old Wang Mei has to wear stuffy protective clothing, gloves, and a thermometer to measure the body temperature of the car owner, instruct the car owner to scan the code registration information, and volunteer to serve on the front line of epidemic prevention at the exit of the expressway. Since February 8, she has not only been running on the front line of epidemic prevention by herself, but also organized and mobilized more than 30 volunteers from the unit to participate. "We must not only ensure that every link is properly handled for the safety of the citizens, but also ensure the safety of every volunteer in the process of participating in the activity. The current situation makes me feel that my responsibility is greater than ever!" Her thin shoulders show the responsibility of the post-90s generation.

"Hello, please check your temperature!" "Hello, please scan the code to register the information." At the exit of Huida Expressway, Wang Mei, wearing a red vest, protective clothing, and protective mask, repeated these words over and over again. Due to talking for a long time and not being able to drink water, her voice was hoarse.
After the COVID-19 epidemic broke out, she launched a publicity recruitment in her unit, and within half a day, more than 20 volunteers joined together to form a "Youth War Epidemic Commando". "Staying at home, just reading a book and swiping my phone, I want to do something meaningful at this time, and I am still an active member of the party, so I should do something at this time."
Luo Haoran: Stick to Guangdong "Peking University Gate"
"The more difficult the more forward", in the face of epidemic detection pressure, Shaoguan epidemic youth volunteer commando not forget their original intention, stick to their posts, give up the time to reunite with their families, build a strong fortress in the front line of the fight against the epidemic, and strictly guard the Guangdong health "Peking University Gate". This young volunteer commando team is mainly composed of some young party members, Communist Youth League members, Communist Youth League cadres, Shaoguan college students and other groups, most of them are "00".
Luo Haoran, a major in atmospheric science at Guangdong Ocean University, signed up to participate in the volunteer service activity organized by the Shaoguan Municipal Committee of the Communist Youth League to guard the gate of Peking University in Guangdong. The main task is to assist the staff of the Lechang North Guangdong Inspection Station to complete the temperature measurement of vehicle personnel, register into Guangdong, and distribute flyers. At the peak period of the Lechang Pingshi Expressway Lechang North Guangdong Inspection Station at the junction of Guangdong and Hunan, tens of thousands of vehicles pass through every day, which is an important pass for Guangdong Province to strictly prevent the import of the epidemic.
Luo Haoran stood for more than three hours at a time, repeating the same work constantly, not only being polite, careful, meticulous, but also doing a good job. He said: "Although it was very hard to stand for a few hours, it was very important for everyone to work together and join hands."

Liao Zeshun: Although there is a torch, I can also be a beam of light
In this severe epidemic battle, Liao Zeshun, the secretary of the Youth League branch of Jinan University’s 2019 public utilities management (emergency management direction) and an activist who joined the party, saw that party members and comrades from all walks of life actively participated in epidemic prevention and control work. He took the initiative to sign up for the community epidemic prevention volunteer team to participate in epidemic prevention and control duty and publicity work.
"The light and heat of youth is to put into the grass-roots line of epidemic prevention that serves the community and the masses, and protect the home together. There are our youthful figures in the front line of group prevention botnet and joint prevention and control." Liao Zeshun practices his oath of youth with practical actions. "Hello! Are you a resident of this community?" "Hello! I will measure your temperature now, please cooperate!" His job is to guard the entrance of the community, which is also to protect the health and safety of the residents of the community. "Although there is a torch, I can also be a beam of light".
"Every generation has a long march for every generation." In fact, what defines each of us is never the post-zero generation, but what we can bring to the country and the people after hard work and struggle.
The reason why youth is precious is that at this stage of life, we are more courageous, decisive, and pure, and able to listen to the voice of our hearts to do what we really want to do, what we should do, and what is meaningful to the country and society.
The late winter and early spring of 2020 undoubtedly gave the post-90s and post-00s a special meaning. In this war epidemic, they who fought on the front line found the responsibility of youth; they who "stayed at home" increased their reverence and thinking about life.
In this great era, please work hard to study hard and grow your talents, use scientific knowledge to protect those you want to protect, and use your life to write the stories you want to write; please strengthen your ideals and beliefs, do not fall into patriotism, and write the song of your youth where the motherland needs it most.
