Great anti-epidemic spirit is a vivid interpretation of China spirit.
The great anti-epidemic spirit, which is in the same strain as the Chinese nation’s long-term idiosyncratic endowment and cultural genes, is the inheritance and development of patriotism, collectivism and socialist spirit, a vivid interpretation of China spirit, and enriches the connotation of national spirit and spirit of the times. We should vigorously carry forward the great anti-epidemic spirit in the whole society and turn it into a powerful force for building a socialist modern country in an all-round way and realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
-Excerpt from the speech of the Supreme Leader General Secretary at the National Commendation Conference on Fighting COVID-19 Epidemic.
COVID-19 epidemic is a major public health emergency with the fastest spread, the widest infection range and the most difficult prevention and control in China since the founding of New China, and it is also the most serious epidemic of infectious diseases in the world in the past century.
The Party Central Committee regards epidemic prevention and control as a top priority. The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader personally commanded and deployed, insisted on putting people’s life safety and physical health first, and put forward the general requirements of firm confidence, helping each other in the same boat, scientific prevention and control, and precise policy.
After arduous efforts, China initially curbed the epidemic spread momentum in more than one month, controlled the daily new cases in the local area within single digits in about two months, and achieved decisive results in the defense wars in Wuhan and Hubei in about three months, and then fought several wars of mass epidemic annihilation in local areas one after another, and achieved major strategic achievements in the national anti-epidemic struggle.
On September 8, 2020, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out at the National Commendation Conference on Fighting against COVID-19 Epidemic: "In this life-and-death contest with a serious epidemic, the people of China and the Chinese nation, with their dauntless spirit of daring to struggle and win, have forged a great anti-epidemic spirit of life first, national unity, giving up one’s life and forgetting one’s death, respecting science and sharing a common destiny."
Life comes first
In order to protect people’s lives, we can do anything.
Life is supreme, which embodies the profound tradition of benevolence of China people and the people-centered value pursuit of the Communist Party of China (CPC) people.
The virus came by surprise, and the epidemic situation was fierce, which threatened people’s life safety and health. The Party Central Committee adheres to the principle that people are supreme and life is supreme, and quickly launches a people’s war, an overall war and a blocking war for epidemic prevention and control.
A big epidemic is like a big exam. The CPC Central Committee and the State Council made overall plans for epidemic prevention and control and medical treatment, adopted the most comprehensive and thorough prevention and control measures, adopted unprecedented large-scale isolation measures, and mobilized national resources to carry out large-scale medical treatment as never before.
Set up a central leading group to deal with the epidemic situation, and strengthen the unified leadership and command of the national epidemic prevention and control. A central steering group was sent to Wuhan to guide Hubei and Wuhan to strengthen epidemic prevention and control. The State Council established a joint prevention and control mechanism, played a coordinating role, strengthened the dispatch of medical personnel and medical materials, and adjusted the prevention and control strategies and key tasks accordingly according to the development and changes of the epidemic situation. Establish a strict epidemic release system, and release epidemic information in a timely, open and transparent manner according to law.
Life is more important than Mount Tai. Wuhan and Hubei are the main battlefields for epidemic prevention and control. In just over 10 days, Volcano Mountain Hospital and Thunder God Mountain hospital have been built successively, 16 shelter hospitals have been rebuilt on a large scale, 346 national medical teams, more than 40,000 medical personnel, the most urgently needed resources and the most advanced equipment have been mobilized to help, and the unprecedented life rescue has been carried out with the help of the whole country. Adhere to the combination of traditional Chinese and western medicine, go all out to treat every patient, and all the treatment costs will be borne by the state.
Party committees, governments, departments and units at all levels are moved by orders, and rural areas, communities, enterprises, medical and health institutions, scientific research institutions, schools and military camps are in their respective positions. The strategic layout of unified command, comprehensive deployment and three-dimensional prevention and control was quickly formed throughout the country, which effectively curbed the spread of the epidemic and protected people’s lives and health to the maximum extent.
the whole nation is of one mind
More than 1.4 billion people in China share the same fate, shoulder to shoulder and heart to heart, drawing a picture of the times when unity is strength.

More than 1.4 billion people in China share the same fate, shoulder to shoulder and heart to heart, drawing a picture of the times when unity is strength!
"I insist on not going out at home, and I contribute to epidemic prevention." At the worst of the epidemic, Wuhan citizens encouraged each other in the circle of friends. The people of Wuhan and Hubei know the general situation and take care of the overall situation, consciously obey the needs of the overall situation of epidemic prevention and control, take the initiative to participate in the epidemic prevention and control struggle, strive for strategic initiative to stop the spread of the epidemic and fight the epidemic nationwide, and make great sacrifices and contributions.
All walks of life shoulder the responsibility of epidemic prevention and control. State-owned enterprises and public hospitals shoulder the heavy burden bravely. More than 4.6 million grass-roots party organizations are in the forefront. More than 4 million community workers are on duty day and night in 650,000 urban and rural communities across the country. All kinds of private enterprises, private hospitals, charities, nursing homes and welfare homes actively contribute. The vast number of party member and cadres take the lead in fighting.

Millions of couriers rush about with the epidemic, 1.8 million sanitation workers get up early and get greedy for the dark, journalists go deep into the front line, and thousands of volunteers and ordinary people in Qian Qian silently contribute …
disregard one’s own safety
With the feat of knowing that there are tigers in the mountains and preferring to walk in the mountains, the people of China wrote a magnificent chapter that is touching and touching.
Forgetting one’s life and dying embodies the tenacious will of the people of China who dare to overwhelm all difficulties without being overwhelmed by any difficulties.
In the face of the epidemic, the people of China have not been intimidated. Instead, they have written an epic and stirring chapter with the feat of knowing that there are tigers in the mountains and leaning towards the mountains! The Chinese nation has been able to go through numerous disasters and continue to grow and develop, never because there is a savior, but because thousands of ordinary people in Qian Qian stepped forward and moved forward generously before the disaster!
In times of crisis, heroes are everywhere. The majority of medical staff are dressed in white, retrograde, and risk their lives to save lives. They are the most beautiful angels and the most lovely people in the new era!
"When the state is in danger, the doctor is a soldier. I would rather bear myself than the people. " Zhang Boli, an academician of China Academy of Engineering, rushed to Wuhan at the age of 71 to make a TCM treatment plan for patients.
"I have to run faster to get more patients back from the virus." Zhang Dingyu, then the president of Jinyintan Hospital in Wuhan, regardless of his physical illness, took risks and rushed ahead.
"You protected us during SARS in 2003, and it’s our turn to protect you today." A large number of post-90 s and post-00 s medical staff gave up the opportunity to reunite with their families during the Spring Festival and joined the front line of fighting the epidemic in Wuhan and Hubei.
In the Battle of Wuhan and the Battle of Hubei, 540,000 medical personnel from Hubei Province and Wuhan City rushed to the front, and more than 40,000 military and local medical personnel from all over the country resolutely rushed to help. In the front line of the national anti-epidemic, millions of medical staff stick to their posts and race against the virus. With their sincerity to the people and their respect for life, they fought against time and continuously, saving one dying life after another, and building a great wall of steel to stop the virus with their flesh and blood.
