If 2023 is one more day
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it has come to the end of 2023.
365 days, 8,760 hours, 525,600 minutes, 31,536,000 seconds.
Every moment of 2023 is full of complicated lines. They meet, entangle, delight, warmth, excitement, cheerfulness, regret ......Stories and encounters follow, and experiences and touches are born.
The four seasons alternate, and the world is warm and cold. Standing at the end of the year and looking back, how many moments make you unforgettable?
Zeng Cheng, director of the second district of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine, always remembered the middle-aged woman who was as white as paper in the outpatient clinic.
As a senior ** doctor, Zeng Cheng has seen too many cases like her - severe anemia caused by uterine fibroids.
She was worried about whether the surgery would make her identity as a woman incomplete, and the cost of the operation. There are too many outpatients, and Zeng Cheng can only give simple answers in a "process-based" way.
It may be that the answer did not dispel her concerns, or it may be that she has obtained the information she wants to know, and she finally did not choose to be hospitalized**, but dragged her sick body out of the hospital.
After the end of the outpatient clinic, the more Zeng Cheng thought about it, the more uneasy he became. He dialed the patient's mobile phone number, but no one got through. If she had told and explained a few more words at that time, maybe she would have been able to get ** in time. Hopefully, now that she's been properly treated and is back to health. ”
On October 4, 2023, Zheng Ting, director of the Flood Drought and Wind Disaster Relief Division of the Guangdong Provincial Emergency Management Department, was the most impressive day. It was his grandfather's 100th birthday.
As the eldest grandson in the family, Zheng Tingzheng and his colleagues at this time were busy defending against typhoon "Little Dog". Since the beginning of this year, Guangdong has suffered 30 rounds of heavy rainfall and 6 typhoons. During the 17 days of the most critical command and dispatch, Zheng Ting was almost on duty in the office.
Fighting the wind and rain and fighting drought, Zheng Ting and his colleagues successfully completed the task. Absent from his grandfather's birthday party is a regret he has to say: "I hope to light birthday candles for my grandfather and sing a birthday song for him." ”
For Tu Zhihui, an overseas Chinese in Fiji, the theme word for 2023 is reunion. In April this year, he returned to his hometown of Guangdong after several years. One of the most important arrangements in the trip back to his hometown is to visit the elderly in Xinsha Leprosy ** Village, Guangzhou.
15 years ago, Tu Zhihui became acquainted with these leprosy elderly people through volunteer activities. Since then, he has regularly organized volunteers to deliver needed supplies and spiritual companionship to the elderly.
In 2015, Tu Zhihui went to Fiji to engage in TCM teaching and diagnosis and treatment. As long as he returns to China, he will go to Xinsha to take a walk and take a look, and this time is no exception. When they reunited again, the old people held his hand, and he also held the old man's hand, "I really want to freeze that day forever."
Wang Songtang, president of the Guangdong Association for the Promotion of Charity and Orphans, is 85 years old. This year marks his 62nd year of non-stop work. For nearly 20 years, he has devoted all his energy to charity, helping sick and out-of-school children get out of trouble.
How much money he receives each year is his biggest concern. "Charitable organizations can only help those in need if they raise money. Wang Songtang has been looking forward to the arrival of 0:00 on December 31, 2023, the total amount of donations is officially determined, and the annual "report card" is released, "that moment is the most happy".
What would you do if there was one more day in 2023 before the dust settled?
Keep working. This is Wang Songtang's answer. "I've been doing it for most of my life, whether it's one more day or two, it's the same for me, I have to work hard. ”
Zeng Cheng hopes that all medical staff can take a day off and go home to spend time with their families. "But the premise is that all the patients in the hospital are discharged, and we go home together!”
At the end of December, the old people in Xinsha Leprosy ** Village moved to their new residences, and Tu Zhihui was very concerned about them. "If 2023 is one more day, I want to see how they're doing now and if they've made new friends”
For emergency responders, every day is 'on duty'. Zheng Ting said with a smile, if there is December 32, I will still stay at my post and continue to do a good job in the three defenses.
Suppose ......Suppose ......
It's true that 2023 won't really be one day longer. The years pass through everyone in the same way, and everyone spends the years in a different way.
You can't chase the last day, but you can especially look forward to the coming day. The sun will always rise as usual, and you and I will continue to move forward.
In the coming year, Zeng Cheng hopes that his body will stay healthy;Zheng Ting hopes that the wind and rain will be smooth and everything will be healthy;Tu Zhihui hopes that more people will care about and love the old people with leprosy;Wang Songtang hopes that everything will go up and make charity more powerful......
With the expectation from 2023, open your arms and welcome the first morning light of 2024.
