“It happened to be surrounded by five households. If you want to walk around, you have to” turn the mountain “first. But for me who never walks, this does not affect me.

She talked to me for a few moments, and she was a little at a loss. She and her husband are elderly people living alone, and the house is on the edge of the village. If you want to enter the village, you must first “over the mountain”.

I also expressed a bit of concern: There are many elderly people in the village. If any elderly person suddenly becomes ill, his car cannot get out, and the ambulance cannot get in. It may be better for someone to stand guard and let go selectively. Of course, standing guards are not necessarily outdoors, like this intersection, put some obstacles, and send a staff member at the neighbor’s house or my house to “guard”.

Back in the room, I clicked on 12306, and refunded the tickets that I had tried so hard. My dad said that our family’s stored food would be fine for a month.


Village officials noticed door to door, grandpa 70th birthday cancelled

Fan Fan, 27 years old Villager from a village in Jingmen City, Hubei Province

My hometown is a small village under Jingmen, Hubei. I returned to Wuhan on January 9, and the company happened to host an event here. After the event on January 17, I returned to my hometown. At that time, the epidemic had not yet erupted, but it was consciously and simply prevented when returning home, and most of the people wearing masks on the street were young people.

The initial outbreak of Wuhan epidemic should be on the 19th and 20th, and the two days have seen news reports of the epidemic. However, the awareness of prevention in rural areas is particularly weak. When I returned, basically no one in my hometown was concerned about it. At first, I advised the family to pay attention to protection and wear a mask. But no matter what I say, they don’t listen, and even feel like I’m scaring them. In the end, the village cadres talked and worked. On the day of the 30th of the year, village cadres wore masks and went from house to house to inform them that there should be no group activities during the Spring Festival. People in my hometown realized the seriousness and started to wear masks.

Catch up with Wuhan to close the city. This year, the uncles and uncles in Jiangsu did not come back. Although the family members are not uniform, they still have to prepare the annual dinner. Affected by the epidemic, Grandpa’s 70th birthday was also cancelled.

According to the custom in the village, at the beginning of the new year, we will go from house to house to say hello to the New Year. All of them have been cancelled this year, and no relatives have come to the New Year. They also couldn’t come, and the village was blocked. Some village cadres stared at the several roads into the village, and the village entrance was piled with stones and dirt to prevent people and cars from entering.

To be honest, after the epidemic broke out in Wuhan, I still had a psychological gap. Before returning to my hometown, I made a special hair and planned to come back to see my friends and relatives. As a result, he was isolated from Wuhan. This week, I also wore a face mask at home. I had to separate the tableware for dinner from my family. I could n’t find anyone to talk to. Today is the first time I go out. Basically I can’t see anyone in the village. I only saw a person wearing a mask on the road. Usually, there are only a few magpies on the road. The village hospital door was also open, but nobody was there.

Basically no one can be seen in the village Source / Respondents

Received notice from the company that our Wuhan branch office has been postponed to work after the year and is currently working from home. Several of my classmates were isolated after returning to work in Wuhan. Most of my friends work in Wuhan, and some from Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou are helpless and can only wait for the company to notify them at home. A friend was unemployed a few years ago and was about to start looking for a job in the New Year. The credit card was spent waiting to be repaid.

Too many online information these days, there is really no way to judge true or false information. However, donations from people from all walks of life and spontaneous support from the people in Wuhan have alleviated the overall situation. In addition, there are basically confirmed cases in every province, which is about everyone.

I think the most useful thing for the society at present is staying at home for 15 days before going out, keeping an eye on the epidemic situation, taking effective protective measures, drinking plenty of hot water, and washing your hands frequently. Rural protection measures are still too weak, hope toMore people joined the protection team and guarded the village with the village leaders. Some villages and towns in Henan have already done very good demonstrations. I think they can all learn from them. Visiting training is very important.

A small place is an acquaintance society, who understands the local situation but has a weak ability to discern information

Ma Xin, 29, a villager from Cangzhou, Hebei Province

My home is in a small town in Cangzhou City, Hebei Province, and it belongs to the transition from rural to township. I went home on the 22nd when few people were wearing masks on the road.

I have been following the epidemic in Wuhan, so the news is very timely. I told my family that this was SARS, and the family did n’t care much at first. I told an elder brother to ask them to stock up masks quickly. They could n’t buy it in Beijing, but he did n’t hear it at all. He joked and said, “Well, I ’ll go to Beijing to sell masks.”

The last thing I care about is my father. On New Year’s Eve, my father had to go out to visit an older relative, and my persuasion was useless. His reason is: there are many etiquettes among relatives in rural areas, and some elders have to move around often, otherwise the relationship will be weak. And he does not wear a mask, saying that wearing a mask to go to the door is not the same thing.

No. 23 was closed in Wuhan. News about the epidemic broke out in the next two days. Then I heard that a case appeared in the province, and the atmosphere in the town suddenly became tense. Relatives have called one after another and said that they would not move around during the Spring Festival. It would be OK to call on the New Year. Everyone started to be vigilant. Only then did his father stop thinking about going out.

People in towns and villages have weak discernment of the authenticity of news. Rumors have a considerable market here, such as conspiracy theories by overseas forces. The most exaggerated thing is that after a case appeared in the province, someone said in the village that the central government would send a plane to spray disinfectant in the air.

In the second day of school, I heard that the town had finished the meeting, and then the big horn on the outside square started to ring. I was urging everyone not to go out, not to go to relatives to pay New Years, and not to crowded places . Then I saw that the town’s hotels, restaurants, chess rooms, bathhouses were all closed, and the village roads were closed.

A small place is an acquaintance society, and locals are quite familiar with local conditions. When the blockade began, monitoring people returning from the field became a common task for all. If someone comes from a foreign country, the news will come immediately, and everyone will be more vigilant. But overall, our local measures to prevent and control the epidemic are still orderly and civilized.

Officials should publish specific villages and towns with confirmed cases to prevent blind optimism

Chongming 30 years old, a villager from a village in Jingzhou, Hubei Province

Jingzhou is about two to three hours away from Wuhan. There is a large population movement between Jingzhou and Wuhan. At present, the propaganda has a certain effect, but the villagers’ attention is not too high. Fortunately, the awareness of prevention is constantly increasing.

At the village level, there are currently three measures: registration of all returnees has been completed before New Year’s Eve; the radio broadcasts daily precautions to prevent everyone from going to the door, prohibiting red and white weddings and other gathering events, including some notifications; The roads are basically closed. There is a road out of town next to our village, which is equivalent to the road out of the village. We also have the custom of returning to our mother’s home during the Spring Festival, and now the road back to my mother’s home is blocked.

The road out of the village has been blocked Source / Respondents

There is not much outside information in the village. I have a speaker next to my house. After the outbreak, the village increased the frequency of broadcasting. In general, publicity has a certain effect. There are actually many relatives and friends who come back from Wuhan. Rural people like nothing to do when they have nothing to do with each other. This year’s Spring Festival, everyone basically has no offline contact. I lived next door to my house when I was young, and I never went to say hello to him. Including relatives who came back from the city, just had a meal and left after a day or two.

If you are from Wuhan, everyone will be very sensitive. People coming back from the city are also worried that they will bring the epidemic into the village, because dozens of cases have been confirmed in Jingzhou.

But in general, I feel that most people in the village still don’t pay enough attention. Our village is relatively empty, not as dense as the city, the residents are relatively scattered, the personnel flow is not large, and there is a certain sense of security in the geography. There is also anxiety, and the anxiety of more people is joking, and a little self-deprecating. They feel that despite being in Hubei, they are still far away from themselves. Because although the total number of confirmed patients was officially announced, we don’t actually know where they are.Sometimes there are rumors that cannot be confirmed. I suggest that you write clearly who the diagnosis is from which town and village.

Of course, everyone ’s defense consciousness is also changing. When I first came back, except for the importance I attached, everyone else in the village did not wear a mask or other protective measures. With the closure of Wuhan and the closure of roads in the town, the villagers’ consciousness took a very big turn. On the 29th day of the first lunar month, I went to our nearest bazaar to buy masks. After the New Year, even the vegetables are not available in supermarkets and bazaars, and many merchants have not sold out. I actually saw a few people wearing masks today, for the first time in so many years.

Village cadres sent out epidemic prevention voices in various WeChat groups, and parents heard them all at once

Zhang Jian 30 years old, a villager from a village in Hengshui, Hebei

My home is in the south of Hebei Province, about 300 kilometers from Beijing. Because of the epidemic this year, I chose to take a ride on a windmill to go home. The original train took three hours and took me a whole day.

When I returned to my hometown, the village entrance had already piled up thick “obstacles” with mounds. Some were guarded by someone to block and register strange vehicles. Not that local cars were not allowed to enter, which is equivalent to half-closed villages.

After staying at home for two days, the village clinics started to register personal information of the floating population from house to house. A red banner hung at the entrance of the village-no parties, no public places, no public transportation. The village’s horn broadcasts calls every day to reduce activities such as New Year’s greetings and family dinners, which must be broadcast several times a day.

Compared to the Spring Festival in peacetime, according to the epidemic prevention requirements, my family basically does not go out except to burn paper on the grave. There is no more relatives and family meals. , Really “no year taste”.

My family generally pays more attention to the prevention of the epidemic situation. I also prepared masks and hand sanitizer for my parents, but other people in the village still don’t wear masks well.

I also shared the news of the epidemic in the family group, and popularized its severity. I did n’t have a lot of effort in persuading my parents. It was just that my father was not used to it. He did n’t wear a mask a few times. He picked.

My parents did n’t hear about the pneumonia epidemic in Wuhan at first. Later, I learned about the epidemic situation through TV and mobile video. Then I forced them to wear masks, wash their hands, and taught them to do it. Protection. The turning point was when the village cadres sent voice messages to various WeChat groups, which strengthened the science of the epidemic, and they heard it all at once.

Then they are also closely following the epidemic situation. The father used the short video in Today ’s headline client, and the mother used the radio, TV, and WeChat group. There are many villages in the WeChat group. And the situation in the town, the spread speed is very fast, even which one
