Chinese People Fight Tenaciously against Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, SARS
People say that Corona Virus came from China. Chinese people
have a good history of fighting against epidemic. They are like brave warriors.
SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) struck 17 years ago. In the fight
against this disaster, many heroes worthy of people’s memory emerged, and Ye
Xin was one of them.
Ye Xin was born in 1956 in a medical family in Xuwen,
Guangdong. Ye Xin joined the Communist Party of China in 1996 and was
repeatedly rated as "Advanced Worker", "Excellent Nurse"
and "Excellent Head Nurse".
During her time as head nurse, she worked hard on new knowledge.
In 1995, the paper "A Study on the Application of A Yellow Membrane Liquid
to the Treatment and Care of Bedsore" won the third prize of the Science
and Technology Progress Award of Guangdong Provincial Administration of
Traditional Chinese Medicine. Until his death, Ye Xin published a total of 13
papers.
Around the Spring Festival in 2003, an atypical pneumonia of
unknown etiology began to spread in some areas of Guangzhou.
Just after the
beginning of February, the emergency department of Ersha in Guangdong
Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine began to treat patients
with confirmed or suspected SARS, with a maximum of 5 people per day.
There was rapid increase of SARS patients
With the
rapid increase of SARS patients, the work intensity of the department continues
to increase. Ye Xin took the lead and started working overtime from February 8.
When she was busy, she even refused to answer her family's calls, and just said
to the nurse who answered the phone: "Tell him, I am in class, it's
okay."
At noon on March 4, Ye Xin, who was extremely tired, began to
show symptoms of fever and was diagnosed with SARS. At 1:30 on March 25, less
than a week after the patient who was last rescued by Ye Xin, who was also
infected with SARS, was discharged from hospital, Ye Xin left her beloved post,
comrade-in-law and relatives forever. 47 years old.
On the battlefield against
SARS, she gave her precious life and was regarded as a revolutionary martyr by
the Guangdong Provincial People's Government.
Tenacious fight against SARS regardless of personal safety
On April 16, 2003, the "Health News" published a
newsletter "Forever White Soldiers-Recalling Ye Xin, Head Nurse of
Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine", telling
the touching stories of Head Ye Xin's tenacious fight against SARS regardless
of personal safety.
Ye Xin left, but it seemed that he had never gone far. Every
Qingming Festival, Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese
Medicine will organize medical staff to visit Ye Xin martyrs' tomb. To promote
Ye Xin's spirit, Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine
established March 25 as "Ye Xin Memorial Day".
In addition, the Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional
Chinese Medicine annually commemorates Ye Xin's theme activities and the
"Ye Xin Cup" post skill competition to promote all medical staff to
establish the character of "patient first, love and dedication, unity and
cooperation, sacrifice sacrifice".
