In the early morning when light and shadow were intertwined, at the opening ceremony of the Liang Xiaoxia Martyrs Memorial Hall, a woman dressed in black slowly stepped onto the stage, her eyes moved, her hands trembled, and she gently removed the red curtain on her daughter's statue.
The mother stood hunched over, her hands on her "daughter's" face, her eyes filled with tears. The sharp pain in her heart made her breathless. Her fingertips stroked her daughter's face gently, as if to feel her temperature again.
She imagined that those eyes would open again and that she would continue to call her "Mommy", but she knew that would never happen again.
The mother choked up and sobbed, unwilling to put down her hand for a long time. I still remember that one night not long ago, Xiaoxia happily called her **, saying that she was finally selected into the medical team and was going to the front line to support Wuhan.
At the beginning of 2020, the plague ruthlessly swept through Wuhan, and the situation was critical and severe. Liang Xiaoxia resolutely decided to join the medical team to help the front line.
When she stepped into the leader's office for the first time, the leader was surprised by the resolute attitude of the 28-year-old ** in front of her, and did not hesitate to choose to go to the most dangerous place. The leader advised her to think twice, but she said without hesitation that she was the best for this moment.
When she got home, Xiaoxia looked directly at her parents' worried eyes and said firmly, "Please allow me to go, I am most needed there." The parents choked up and nodded, tears welling up in their eyes.
Xiaoxia hugged them, and tears couldn't help falling. She knew that she might not be able to come back, but she only thought of the thousands of lives in Wuhan.
Before leaving, Xiaoxia whispered to her old mother: "Mom, don't worry, I will come back safely." The old mother's heart was like a knife, and she couldn't cry.
After arriving in Wuhan, Liang Xiaoxia threw herself into the front line of the fight against the epidemic non-stop. She stays in the intensive care unit, caring for patients day and night – feeding, taking temperatures, changing dressings, and suctioning. Sometimes she didn't close her eyes for a week.
Once, in order to reduce the number of times she took off her protective clothing, Xiaoxia endured urinating in the protective clothing for 12 hours!Colleagues advised her not to be reckless, but she just shook her head and said, "It's okay, for the sake of the patient, it's nothing."
Many patients have been cured in her hands, and Xiaoxia is sincerely relieved and proud. She constantly warned herself that if she was not careful, she could get sick, but she did not back down.
Until one day, when she was resting for a short time outside the ward, Xiaoxia suddenly collapsed and died after rescue efforts failed.
received the bad news of Xiaoxia's sacrifice, and the doctor who rescued her was grief-stricken. He posted on the Internet to condemn himself for failing to save the flower, and it was hard for him to forgive the life of a 28-year-old who had just withered away.
Hubei Province immediately posthumously awarded Xiaoxia the title of "Anti-epidemic Hero", calling her a symbol of "boundless love". Her hometown of Guangxi posthumously recognized her as a member of the Communist Party and commended her as the backbone of the whole clan.
The patients and people in Wuhan wept bitterly for Xiaoxia and came to mourn with flowers, as if everyone was blaming themselves for not protecting her more.
After Xiaoxia's mother learned the bad news, she sat there for a whole day and a night. The daughter was still so young, so she left her. She wished that she had died ten times eight times and that she could come back in exchange for her daughter.
The joy of the family's original expectation of their daughter's triumph turned into endless sorrow in an instant.
The sacrifice of Liang Xiaoxia and other anti-epidemic heroes has inspired groups of young people to step forward bravely and volunteer to fill the gap in this place where heroes have withered.
Xiaofang is a ** who has just joined the work, she said with red eyes that if she wants to avenge Xiaoxia, she will definitely go all out to protect every patient. Lao Zhang is an experienced doctor, and he took on the work of the intensive care unit without the slightest hesitation, just hoping to save more lives.
They have become the backbone of this generation of young people to protect the destiny of the nation. It was the fearless sacrifice of heroes such as Xiaoxia that ignited the fire in their hearts. Batch after batch of retrograde people relayed up, and the souls of the heroic martyrs turned into the breeze that was always present on this hot land, making people still feel warm in desperate situations.
The great love and dedication of Xiaoxia and other anti-epidemic heroes will inspire countless people to stand up at every critical moment in their lives to protect the future of this nation.
We must always cherish the memory of the deceased anti-epidemic heroes and be grateful for their love and perseverance in life.
Xiaoxia used her 28 years of youth to protect the health of countless Wuhan citizens. Each of us owes her great love, and this kindness is immense.
It is necessary to carry forward the dedication of heroes such as Xiaoxia, so that the fire of great love can be passed on from generation to generation. No matter how difficult the environment is, in the face of refugees in China, we must stand up and protect the lives of the people.
It is necessary to educate and encourage those who come after them, so that they can remember the heroes and martyrs on the road of growth and have the courage to take responsibility at critical moments. The deeds of Xiaoxia, these anti-epidemic heroes, must be praised and praised into the teaching materials and campuses, warm thousands of teenagers with their hot blood, and cultivate their fearless dedication from an early age.
In this era of heroes, we should be proud of the heroes who have passed away. It is precisely because of their perseverance that our nation can stand firm and survive the tribulation.
This pride and pride stirred in this hot land and sublimated into the eternal blood of the Chinese people.
