"I can't be on the front line, so I can only provide services to front-line personnel and be the wings of angels."

On February 4, the 11th day of Wuhan’s lockdown, Chen Chen drove a shiny Trumpchi GS8 through the city where the pause button was pressed.

Half an hour after going online, Chen Chen’s phone was buzzing with calls, and there were still dozens of WeChat messages and text messages on his phone that he had no time to reply to. Most of the callers were strangers, and their tone was very concise, such as one of them: "There is a person from Zhuankou, go to the West Branch of the Affiliated Hospital of Huake University of Science and Technology, 14:10, can you pick me up?"

Chen Chen drove while driving , while only answering "can" or "can't", and occasionally saying "10 minutes after the error".

"The streets of Wuhan are almost empty now, and there are occasionally two or three cars passing by. The time on the road can be very accurate." Chen Chen did not expect that the first day on the job would be an exhausting day. .

This position is obviously unpaid. Chen Chen brought his own car and initially paid for gas himself. However, a week later, the "Medical Travel Platform" took over the gas bill, and Chen Chen was left with only vehicle wear and tear, and felt less stressed. He is a member of the Wuhan medical travel volunteer team.

After Wuhan was locked down, Chen Chen, who lives in Wuhan, felt that he should do something. Born in 1994, he is an Air Force veteran who has served for more than five years. As soon as the Amap "Medical Care Vehicle" navigation software was launched, he immediately signed up as a volunteer without telling his wife.

On February 3, after the volunteer quota was approved, the soft-spoken daughter-in-law and Chen Chen had a big fight. They understood each other, but felt more distressed. . After all, the child is just over a year old. In the end, the wife couldn't defeat him. Before leaving home, she carefully arranged the protective clothing for him, then silently took out her mobile phone and took a photo of the fully "armed" Chen Chen and his son.

While opening the "Medical Car" software, Chen Chen also sent a message to the "Jiangchengqi Corps" of Wuhan Trumpchi owners: "Any medical staff in Wuhan who cannot find a car, please contact me. , Responsible for pick-up and drop-off." He left his phone number. Soon, he was pulled into several medical travel groups.

In less than half an hour, the first call came in. Since then, the phone calls have almost never been disconnected. Chen Chen put his mobile phone on the mobile phone holder on the center console and pulled the charging cable, just like a taxi driver. car driver. However, he turned off the WeChat message reminder because he was driving and could not reply to the hundreds of WeChat requests for help. Soon, Chen Chen was overwhelmed by the influx of information.

He was so anxious that his voice became hoarse and he did not dare to drink water. Drinking water meant going to the toilet, and he couldn't bear to waste a minute. "I just want to be able to take a break in my car when the medical staff are exhausted after a long day of work, and send them back safely."

The list is distributed at Union Hospital, Tongji Hospital Hospital, Red Cross Hospital, Central Hospital, Zhongnan Hospital, Central Theater Hospital, Wuhan General Hospital, Hubei Provincial Maternity and Children's Hospital, Chen Chen is now familiar with all major hospitals in Wuhan.

Some people went to the front line, some escaped, some died, and some people crowded into the hospital, queuing for five or six hours, and collapsed and cried when they couldn't get a bed. Chen Chen did not run away or retreat, but silently scrubbed his beloved "battleship" - the GS8 filled with metallic luster, until it was spotless. He flattened the back half and turned it into a narrow bunk.

At this time, Chen Chen’s volunteer team had already “made a name” in major hospitals. After the lockdown of Wuhan, except for vehicles related to epidemic tasks, other vehicles are not allowed on the road. Anti-epidemic supplies are in short supply and difficult to obtain, and supplies from other places are difficult to transport in. The same goes for hospitals. There are not enough protective clothing and goggles, only masks. The travel platform distributes protective clothing to each volunteer, one for two days, but they usually come into contact with front-line medical staff. To avoid cross-infection, every time he places an order, he will use alcohol to carefully inspect the entire vehicle, especially the back seat. Wipe and disinfect.

After more than 10 days, Chen Chen took more than 300 orders, which was more powerful than the most diligent taxi driver. Within the "Qi Corps", Chen Chen got a nickname - "Wuhan Madman". Car owners in the Trumpchi APP community sent red envelopes to cheer him on. Many car owners also forwarded his post and left messages: As a member of the Qi Corps, I hope to have the opportunity to contribute to the fight against the epidemic.

Chen Chen has always been very active in the "community". Everyone has organized activities and is familiar with each other. In the "community", there are enthusiastic car owners who post epidemic information every day, and some people talk about their feelings as community volunteers. More and more people are using ordinary actions to join the anti-epidemic action. "Your warmth will illuminate my path forward." Chen Chen said.

Of course, he will also be in trouble. "The most worrying thing is that my Big 8 has been maintained for almost 5,000 kilometers. Now there is no place to do maintenance. I am afraid that there will be problems with the car's condition, which will affect the transportation of medical staff." But he also understands that all industries in Wuhan have stopped working. The management of the city cannot be ruined because of a broken car.

As the days passed, Chen Chen once had the experience of driving for 20 hours in a row, and he was so tired that he was shaking. When he was hungry, he would eat a piece of bread. After a month, he lost a lot of weight. "There is no need to lose weight anymore," he told "Autobot" with a smile.

At night, Chen Chen lived in an apartment with another volunteer. If he didn't go home, he was worried about infecting his wife and one-year-old son. I leave the car at around 7:00 every morning and finish work at 11:00 in the evening. It’s already midnight when I get home. Such days lasted for almost a month.

Some doctors and nurses cannot go home after get off work. Some of them performed high-risk intubation operations. Although protection was basically in place, the aerosol exhaled by the patients still put the medical staff at risk of infection. Even though they have thoroughly disinfected themselves before leaving the hospital, they still need to find a hotel or hotel to sleep in to prevent bringing the virus home.

Some small hotels and express hotels have proactively contacted hospitals and promised to allow doctors and nurses to rest for free after get off work. There are even owners who use their long-term rental apartments to provide free rest for medical staff.

After picking up and delivering medical care, Chen Chen would ask on WeChat: "Has the bus to work been arranged in the morning? If not, I will call you in the morning." While sending out his mobile phone number, he also Forgot to carefully remind: "Don't be embarrassed, it's cold in the morning, don't ride to the hospital."

He will also create some small surprises to show care and warmth to the medical escort. On February 14, he prepared a rose for the female doctors and nurses in the car. "I'm really touched, especially on this day, a single dog actually received flowers." A doctor said.

Volunteers have also delivered instant noodles and lunch boxes to the hospital. Those with protective clothing are responsible for picking up and dropping off people, and those without protective clothing are responsible for delivering supplies. Sometimes, Chen Chen was heartbroken when he heard some nurses say they hadn't eaten all day. At this juncture, Chen Chen, who had always been stubborn, couldn't bear to see the nurse's tears.

"Their tears were all drained when their colleagues and family members fell." Chen Chen gritted his teeth in discomfort: "I can't go to the front line, so I can only serve the front line personnel and be an angel." "Our wings."

"Aren't you afraid of pulling these doctors and nurses?" "Autobot" asked.

"I'm afraid, but I still have to grit my teeth." Chen Chen said with palpitations. In the volunteer convoy, some people were infected, some were scared, some people kept quitting, and some new ones joined. But overall, there were fewer people and he was busier.

The doctors sat in Chen Chen's car and could lie down in the back. The car was very spacious. Many times, the doctors and nurses who just lay on the "bunk" have stopped moving.

As time passed, Chen Chen lost count of how many doctors and nurses he had visited. But he always remembered that the two night shift nurses came out of the small door of the hospital in the morning and cried all the way to the car. They sat in the back seat and kept crying silently. The other nurse started to call her family and started to choke. Of course, Chen Chen couldn't see their faces, which were all tightly covered by masks.

"The mask won't work if it gets wet." Chen Chen glanced at the rearview mirror and reminded. He said, you should have expected such a result when you were studying medicine...

The one who was comforted cried, maybe because the patient he had worked so hard to treat left, or he watched helplessly Mentors, friends and colleagues passed away. Chen Chen didn't ask. He didn't know what to say. That feeling of powerlessness could make people paralyzed and lose their fighting spirit. The words must be pale, and he couldn't let them turn their sorrow into anger, because the enemy was invisible.

After holding it in for a long time, Chen Chen said softly: "I know what this feels like. I have to hold on to survive..." He didn't know if the two people in the back heard him clearly.

"How long do you plan to do this volunteer service?" "Autobot" asked.

"As long as there is demand, I will continue until the epidemic is over. I am in good health and can hold on."

"Are you mentally prepared to be infected?" Reporters felt like asking this question This question is cruel.

"Yes." Chen Chen's answer couldn't be simpler. "I have also provided psychological counseling to my family. I have thought of all the bad consequences you have thought of."

"Why do you want to do this work?" It is inevitable that there will be questions that go straight to the soul.

"If you want to do something, you have been educated by the army for so many years." Chen Chen said succinctly: "Besides, a person's power is always limited, and he can only help one person."

"Have you ever thought about telling your children what you are doing now when they grow up?"

"Being a role model is enough. No matter what, you must be kind and upright." Chen Chen I feel that words are not as good as teaching by example.

After chatting, Chen Chen suddenly said: "I want to come back to the familiar Wuhan."

Chen Chen grew up in Wuhan and likes to travel around in his beloved GS8 He claimed to have visited many cities, villages and market towns throughout the provinces. He said that there had never been a city as big as Wuhan, with four banks, three towns and two rivers, and a rare city atmosphere. He likes to look at the wedding dress windows on Yangzi Street; he likes to see the boys and girls wearing bright dresses and holding freshly bought flowers on the single-dong street; he likes to smell the smell of Tan Hualin’s hot pot and bozi cakes; he likes to visit the Simenmen Overpass The street stalls, the hidden corner shops, and the smell of mung bean cake soaked in kraft paper have made him linger since he was a child.

These breaths made Chen Chen feel the real passage of time and the flavor of life. Now, he wants it all back. Moreover, now he also sees hope from the words of doctors and nurses, and sees the dawn of Wuhan returning to its past.

At dawn, Chen Chen got out of the car again. Needless to say, it was another exhausting day. (Text/"Autobot" Zhang Min) Copyright Statement This article is an exclusive original manuscript of "Autobot", and the copyright belongs to "Autobot".
