Wuhan Writers in Action | Guchi: Let's Give All the Praise to Them

facing viruses, seeking safety is human nature
a war without smoke and fire
charging to the front lines is a call to their professional spirit
brave warriors setting out, hoping for a triumphant return!
all we can do is offer them sincere praise
please send all the praise to them
High Pool
ice rain mixed with snow
dead branches hanging in the wind
the gloom has not dissipated
many days we see
are always what we most don't want to see
turbid sky
they have come
they turned back during their New Year's Eve return journey
they risked danger during critical moments
they separated from their loved ones at reunion times
how can we not be moved?
it is their arrival
that allows our city
to be silent
silently silent
there are still over 10 million anxieties and fears
no smoke and fire
no cannons and gunfire
no red
they entered the city
they were charging and launching assaults
cutting off a lock of hair
wearing heavy protective suits
isolated in isolation rooms
hearing the beat of their own hearts in the breath of the patients
one motionless race against death
there is a speed called tracking under the microscope
eating ration meals
drinking mineral water
sleeping in tents
millions of families celebrate New Year's Eve
they could only send a longing for reunion across the starry night
to the night sky without stars
who doesn't have children?
who isn't a parent?
crying for parents is like crying for children
kissing and saying goodbye to children is like a parent's kiss
this love, this affection
tears that cannot be understood are deeper than the Yangtze and heavier than the mountains
who is not frightened?
they conquered fear in fear
who has extra life?
they used their lives to guard life
the precious silence of Jiangcheng
we understand their composure
Wuhan, keep going!
Wuhan is going all out!
Wuhan, hold on!
Wuhan will surely hold on!
because they are standing among us
we feel boundless strength
as long as there is sunlight, the gloom will not dissipate
we have heard the hurried footsteps of spring
victory must belong to us
we want to give them due recognition before victory arrives
please send all the praise to them
white coats are the angels of our city
those in uniforms and those without uniforms are all heroes in our hearts
please send all the praise to them
they are the most lovable people in the new era
they are the greatest moving stories of Wuhan
2020-01-26 Houganhu
in the past, reunion is joy
this spring, safety is joy
at this moment, we wish you peace and safety
