Outside the wall
Wang Peter
In my career career, there has never been a single incident. Like crown disease, it has been reported every day and has never been interrupted for more than three years.
Recently, Singapore has lifted the mask order, and the response level has officially changed from yellow to green. After the announcement of a white paper that summarizes resistance to epidemic and covers forward views, it can be determined that this major epidemic disease that will be included in the history book has been determined.Enter the final time.
I can't make a grand narrative, I can only try to write some people and things fragments, and the moment I moved into the column of this period as a memory for memory.
Thousands of things, let's start with a mask.I don't know what materials are, but the most conspicuous logo in this era.
The first wearing a hood for the first time was in Shanghai in early 2003.At that time, Shas had a burst of outbreaks, but China was secret, and almost no one knew.I walked alone in the Xiangyang market, and a aunt came on the face, and said very politely: "Wearing a mask during the day, weird!" I still don't understand why she responded so much, but each word, stillWith that tone, I still remember it clearly now.
About half a year later, Shasan was hidden, the mask became a past style, and was even completely forgotten, but did not think that after more than 10 years, the mask returned, and it was more than three years.
Lianhe Morning Post conducted a survey in the first year. People said that the least adaptive was to wear masks.At the end of the year, the reader was selected as the Chinese character of the year.Everyone can take a wallet without going out, and no one cares about you when you forget to bring your mobile phone, but you do n’t wear a mask.
Gradually, most people are also used to it, especially before the vaccine came out, masks were the most primitive protection; followed by becoming a etiquette and social responsibility; later added visual factors, and a little fashionable, for exampleYou can see the Hello Kitty mask on the street.A painter friend recently opened a painting exhibition. I went to support it. He gave a mask with a sense of design from his brush.In short, the mask is everywhere, and I rarely hear the grievances again. Because of it, it is only a few wonderful plans to go to court or even in jail.
Just every face is hidden behind the mask, it is awkward.For a while, I read the Lianhe Zaobao for a while, and I almost couldn't see what the news characters looked like.I thought, many people have rare interviews that may be only once in their lives, but they cannot show people with their faces. How much regrets are left?So I reminded my colleagues that if one or two people are taking one or two people, try to ask the other party to remove the mask.Otherwise, a newspaper without a "face" and expression, has anyone still want to watch it for a long time?
Lonely in three years, no one can hide
In life, the mask also causes a gap.Once and a woman wearing a mask, I asked twice in a row after entering the company's elevator. I asked her to press several floors, and then suddenly realized the surprise in her eyes.Editor colleagues!The scene suddenly became funny and embarrassing.Such a simple greeting experience must have hesitated for half a second, and everyone must have had it.
There are even more absurd.Because of most of the time, I met with some new reporters, and one of the new reporters, one, I tried her manuscript for more than two months on the system. Because the name was relatively neutral, I always thought it was a man.It wasn't until the morning of the Woodlands Customs Platform that I read on the live report on Lianhe Zaobao's Facebook that I found that they were girls, and it was really outrageous.
Listen to experts that children wear masks, and language learning and communication skills will be slowed down.But I think deeper, and children do not know each other. When they grow up, how many young children can I remember?
Crown disease also tests the friendship of adults.For example, the dinner is limited to five people first. You can only find the other four, one more, and one more. Later, eight are allowed, but from who is the sixth, it becomes the ninth, and the entanglement in your heart is the same.I believe I have been excluded, but there is no way to ask, and I should not ask. Ask me intentionally.
Due to the limitation of the number, I played five people's basketball for more than a year.Anyone who understands this sport knows that this can only be a half -time play of the three of them "bullying". He is so aggrieved and boring. There is also an Activesg staff to monitor the sidelines, for fear that you will secretly add people in violation of the rules, or and another other.A half of the ball friends have intersection.In short, every week, I have a loneliness, but the epidemic prevention is too much, and it can only be sweet.
In fact, the most deprived thing is the elderly.When medical resources are the most tense, many people's chronic disease care must be slowed down, and then this may not be able to make up.Those who live in the treatment of treatment are difficult because of the difficulty of seeking visits, and loneliness may be more terrible than the virus.
My mother suddenly asked me recently, whether she was her grandson, which surprised me.Before the epidemic, she could go out by herself.Differentians are coming, and so sharply, I wonder if it is rare?But in the past three years, it will definitely have an impact on her.
I am here, my mother is there
The greatest helplessness is that the people who have caused them to be separated by the two places. I know that someone has passed away and could not see the last side.
These foreign people are next to you and me.I walked through the company's elevator exit that day, and the two Chinese cleaning employees talked about the issue of air tickets. The phrase "I haven't returned home for three years", I heard it particularly clearly.
In October last year, a friend took a ping pong team to the Chengdu competition.There is a Chinese coach who stays in Singapore because of the epidemic, and has been separated from his wife and four -year -old daughter for three years.As a result, it was difficult to get the closed -loop manager of the game venue.For the first time in the past three years, my friend said that when he saw this, his heart touched almost tears.
What I can't forget is the first year. The first year, a good -hearted person arranged for the trapped local Malaysians to meet the family on the woolan seaside and see the family members driving on the yacht in the middle of the sea.One of the young mothers, went to see the younger son alone, said that it had been separated for more than 200 days.In the photos taken back, she had tears with her eyes, silently looking at the sea, and the title of "I am here, my mother on that end", and read the same sourness.
Disasters will be temporarily, human nature will be amplified, and selfishness, cowardice, ignorance, anti -wisdom, anti -society, tribalism, etc. are all unprecedented.But at the same time, many good quality will also be seen, such as rationality, courage, kindness, determination, tolerance and tenacity ...The latter is worth leaving a few pens, especially the spirit of mutual assistance.
Like a gas seller, he paid for his own pockets, acquired disinfection water, and gave them to his own hawkers and family customers for free.Some residents kept replenishing hand -toilet in the elevator out of good heart.During the gap, a Singaporean and his Vietnamese wife ran to the subway station for free distribution for a few days in a row.There are also volunteers to stand up and cheer up front -line medical staff in various ways.These are just news, and there must be more ones.
True heroes do not ask the source
In my mobile phone, there is still a very interesting WeChat list.When I took a screenshot, there were more than 40 people on it. What are the little beauty 100 in the Northeast dragging the RMB 1,000?Noodles, milk, canned.The reason for the incident was that there were infections on the dormitory. Many Chinese guest workers were ill, and almost no one cared about it.After the news came out, the sincere heroes emerged, and people spontaneously joined the assistance.Move.This list was said to have more than 200 people later. Some people left after putting down the items, and left without saying a word.
I believe there are other groups who are doing the same good things, especially new immigrants friends.During the interview, the reporter also saw a donation list of a trailer driver. At first, he thought it was garbled. Later, he knew it was a license plate number, and no one left his name.
Indeed, it is not important for the name and money and less money.Later, I also saw a very positive video: it was a dormitory worker. After receiving and removing the items, everyone lined up and bowed down.The ending of joy.
Churchill has a famous saying: Don't waste a good crisis.
The government with a long -sighted and responsible government will always do so, so that the country will become stronger and more competitive, and prepare for the next Great Plague.The medical community has consensus. This gray rhino will come again sooner or later.
As for the individual, I have lamented it more than once: life seems to be deducted by for three years.However, some people say that the epidemic taught them to see a lot of things and re -placed the priority order. It is more important to know what, and what has become optional.Some people have discovered new fun, or the original intention of the loss.In short, how to live slowly and enjoy the lucky luck. I could n’t go to school before, and now I have opened up.
What about myself?The epidemic was difficult, but it seemed to pass in a blink of an eye.In mid -October last year, the day when the border of Taiwan was unsealed, I flew, and then I remembered that before the epidemic, my last trip was also Taiwan.It seems only a few months between the two times, as if taking the time to the shuttle — the image is clear, the personnel are still, it is not like three years.
Maybe I am not unemployed, infected, and my loved ones and friends have gone due to crown disease.There are really not many who are lost.There is a saying in the blooming blooming of the Tibetan Hori Rongbo Kandobu: "Life is a very difficult practice ... Except for life and death, the rest is just abrasion." In the past three years, I should have even scratched scratchingIsn't it?
This is not Ah Q, it is how much toughness is generated after three years of epidemic.real.
