In the past seven days, Ruili I saw did not "stop"

In my impression, Ruili, Yunnan, located in the southwestern border of the motherland, is a small city with comfortable life, a busy city where people go to the country, and a live broadcast base of jade with a lot of people every night. It is also a cup of delicious Poruda...

In the evening of September 14, Ruili City announced a one-week suspension of entry and exit from the urban area due to the sudden outbreak of imported novel coronavirus pneumonia, and the city’s urban residents were isolated at home. For a time, Ruili became the focus of national attention, and the outside world used words like "press the pause button" and "stopped" to describe the city.

 In the following 7 days, I saw a group of people in Ruili who worked tirelessly all day long to fight the epidemic and keep the city running.

 In my eyes, Ruili did not panic, let alone “stopped”.


New imported cases from abroad, I also became a retrograde


 At noon on the 14th, I arrived in Ruili with more than ten reporters. The press conference that was originally scheduled for 16:00 has been pushed back and forth, let us smell a bit of unusual meaning. In the end, the press conference was scheduled to be held at 23:00.

At the press conference that night, the details of the trajectory of the two confirmed imported cases in Myanmar and the epidemic prevention measures were notified, and it was announced that after 22:00 on the 14th, no special circumstances will be allowed to enter or leave the urban area of ​​Ruili. The time is tentatively set for one week. The urban residents of the city are isolated at home. At the same time, free nucleic acid testing was carried out for all employees in Ruili City.

 After the reporters quickly reported on these heavy news, they felt a little caught off guard-some reporters originally planned to return the night after the press conference, and did not even prepare to change their clothes. While we were talking about it, the grid staff in Ruili city and medical staff from all over Yunnan have already started to take action.

 A fellow reporter said: "We have also become retrogrades."


Day 1: This time we don’t panic


 At noon on the 15th, we came to the Fortune Plaza in the center of Ruili. This was originally one of Ruili's busiest commercial centers, but now the streets in the commercial district are empty and shops are closed.

In a square in the business district, residents of nearby communities are lining up one meter apart to undergo nucleic acid testing under the guidance of the staff.

A staff member told me something that moved her very much. In the early morning of the same day, the staff knocked on the door of a household in a panic. It was a grandma who came to open the door. She did not complain, and actively asked to follow the staff to inform other residents. "The people in the community are acquaintances, and they will be willing to open when I knock on the door."

Ms. Wang in the team has a relaxed expression. She said that she felt that the government's response and actions were very quick this time, which made everyone feel at ease. "We didn't panic at all this time."

Day 2: To make everyone feel relieved

 At 22:00 pm on the 16th, we came to Mengmao Primary School in Ruili City. A computer classroom in the school became a temporary nucleic acid testing data center. More than 20 professionals and 5 volunteers maintain the 24-hour operation of the data center here, and the city’s nucleic acid testing information will be collected and processed here.

Li Chaohai is one of the volunteers here. After being interviewed by two groups of reporters, he was a little anxious: "I work too much here, I am really embarrassed." Faced with tens of thousands of messages, he has to check one by one. , When encountering incomplete or inaccurate information of the registrant, it is necessary to call one by one to check and correct. From working at 19:00 on the 15th to that time, he only slept for two hours.

 I asked him if he felt hard, and he said, "If you say hard work, it's really hard. But in order to make everyone feel at ease earlier, I think all these efforts are worth it, that's worth it!"

Day 3: Be sure to complete the test for everyone

 On the 17th, at the nucleic acid testing sites in Maoxiang Community, Nongen Village and other places, citizens of Ruili and Burmese nationals lined up for testing. Ruili launched a free nucleic acid test for all employees in the urban area on the 15th, including all foreigners living in Ruili.

 In the past few days, the medical staff at each test point have to continue to work until the early morning of the next day. Cun Jiangyun from Yingjiang County People's Hospital wears a full set of protective clothing and has worked continuously for more than 6 hours.

"People keep coming over to register information, and we will test them after we receive the registration." She couldn't wipe the sweat off her face through the protective mask. "We must test everyone in the community before our work is complete."

 Day 4: Mandalay’s mother is also proud of me

On the 18th, the nucleic acid testing and sampling work of all employees in Ruili City entered the "clearing" stage. Li Qiuying, a Chinese Burmese volunteer, worked with the staff to conduct investigation and publicity work.

"Myanmar people will feel at ease and grateful after receiving free nucleic acid testing here. There are also some Myanmar people who do not understand the importance of testing. We will come to them to promote the current epidemic prevention measures and the importance of testing." One day on the 18th, Li Qiuying has been working on propaganda for more than 10 hours, and her voice has become hoarse.

 Li Qiuying's figure in the fight against the epidemic was recorded by the media, and was quickly followed by a large number of Chinese netizens. She was a little excited and said: "I didn't expect that I would also become a'Internet celebrity'. I passed the video to my mother at home in Mandalay. She was also proud of me. She didn't support me as a volunteer before. !"

Day 5: We did it

On the evening of the 19th, Ruili City held the sixth press conference on the prevention and control of the novel coronavirus pneumonia epidemic.

Gong Yunzun, member of the Standing Committee of the Dehong Prefectural Committee of the Communist Party of China and Secretary of the Ruili Municipal Committee, announced at the press conference that as of 10:30 on the 19th, all 287,254 nucleic acid samples in Ruili had been tested and the test results were all negative.

After announcing the result, Gong Yunzun said excitedly: "We did it!"

Day 6: Raise soldiers for a thousand days

 Nongdao Town, Ruili City faces Myanmar across the river. The border is more than 40 kilometers long, and the task of border control is arduous.

Dengga Village is the most remote place in Nongdao Town, Sepengka Point. On both sides of the road are deep mountains and dense forests, and the nearest village is more than 20 kilometers away. The mobile phone signal here is weak, there is no running water, electricity relies on solar batteries, and food and lodging can only be done in the tent. In this environment, 18 militiamen have been standing here in turn for nearly 5 months.

Zhu Baoqing, a militiaman in camouflage uniforms, is of a strong figure, but he "still gets a hairy heart" when patrolling at night. He said: "The owl's call in the woods at night is a bit grim."

Zhu Baoqing said: "It is said that for a while, we have to put on this camouflage uniform and we have the responsibility to defend our homeland."

Day 7: We are all fine in Ruili

On the 21st, we met several Burmese people working in Ruili.

Zhao Hongxian, a Chinese Burmese, worked at the “Guomen Press” in Ruili. In the daytime, she was responsible for the management of the reading room; at night, she was responsible for free bilingual teaching in China and Myanmar.

After the outbreak, she was not idle for a few days in isolation at home. She took advantage of her language to translate China's anti-epidemic propaganda posters and videos into Burmese and posted them on social platforms at home and abroad. "This will allow more people to learn about epidemic prevention knowledge."

Mong Deng Suo, a Myanmar young man who came to Ruili to work for more than a year, would call his relatives in Myanmar every day, "I told them that I received a free nucleic acid test in Ruili. I am safe and healthy. Let them not worry."

On the evening of the 21st, Ruili City held the seventh press conference on the prevention and control of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, announcing that Ruili City had completed the nucleic acid test for all employees in the urban area, and the test results were all negative; except for 2 imported cases from abroad, no local cases and Spread locally. From 22:00 on September 21, 2020, Ruili City will lift the urban home isolation. "The announcement of the announcement marks the beginning of a new stage in Ruili's epidemic prevention and control work," said Gong Yunzun, member of the Standing Committee of the Dehong Prefecture Committee of the Communist Party of China and Secretary of the Ruili Municipal Committee.

 Ruili, this small city prosperous due to China-Myanmar border trade will not "shut down", but will continue to accelerate its pace of development and become more beautiful.
