My "epidemic" | retired officer: If I were still in the army, I would definitely be on the front line

"The spring light is full of memories of Jianghan, and the moonlight on the sea is sparsely populated." Haruka chi aided the horses, and the white-clad armor sang Qinghui. ”

This is a poem written by Hua Bo, a member of the Cursive Professional Committee of the Shanghai Calligraphers Association and vice chairman of the Shanghai Yangpu District Calligraphers Association, for Shanghai's fight against the epidemic, paying tribute to the anti-epidemic forces that rushed to the aid of Shanghai and the medical workers, community workers and volunteers who are fighting in the frontline.

Hua Bo composed his own poem "War Epidemic Group Poem No. 3", the verse is: Spring light is full of memories of Jianghan, and the moon on the sea is sparse. Haruka chi aided the horses, and the white-clad armor sang Qinghui.

Hua Bo, a former military officer, retired from the military in 2019 and became a member of the new literary and art group in Shanghai, and won the Shanghai Annual Calligraphy Creation Award for three consecutive years. Since march, when the new crown pneumonia epidemic hit Shanghai, he called for "fighting the epidemic with art and jointly defending Shanghai", and actively participated in the "Shanghai Calligraphers Anti-epidemic Theme Poetry and Book Works Online Exhibition", the anti-epidemic theme calligraphy exhibition organized by many professional institutions such as shanghai calligraphy and painting academy, Yangpu Painting Academy, Yangpu District Calligraphers Association, etc., to encourage the morale of the anti-epidemic in the form of calligraphy and self-composed poems.

Hua Bo led his children to learn traditional culture during the anti-epidemic period at home.

Talking about the original intention of creating anti-epidemic poems, he said, "I want everyone to know that Shanghai is not isolated, and the whole country cares about us." Hope to bring everyone positive energy, even if temporarily encounter difficulties, we should also look forward, rather than fear, complaint, negativity, low, it is better to adjust the mentality, calmly face difficulties, bravely overcome difficulties. ”

In addition to composing anti-epidemic poems, Hua Bo also raised anti-epidemic materials from many sources.

After learning about the shortage of frontline epidemic prevention materials, Hua Bo contacted a Shenzhen enterprise in early April and donated 225 sets of professional-grade medical protective clothing to the Shanghai Municipal Federation of Literature and Literature, the Yangpu District Cultural and Tourism Bureau, and the Sipingyi Residents Committee of Wujiaochang Street in Yangpu District in the name of "independent job-choosing and transferring cadres" for the use of unit personnel and front-line staff for epidemic prevention.

"At that time, the company's orders were full, and it was working overtime every day, and these more than 200 sets of protective clothing were equivalent to squeezing out of the 'gap between my teeth'." Hua Bo said, "At the most urgent moment, give everyone what they need most, this is what I want to do." ”

At that time, he had been fighting the epidemic at home and could not go out to deliver supplies, so he could only plead with the friends who were responsible for the medical supplies protection of the hospital to deliver the donated materials one by one in his busy schedule.

Huabo donated (part) of the materials.

I learned that there are friends around me because the husband and wife are both on duty at the unit, there are only the elderly and children at home, and there is a shortage of medicine and food materials, and Huabo also entrusts people to send oil, rice and vegetables.

"If I were still in the army, I would definitely be on the front line of the fight against the epidemic at this time." Although I am retired now, at the time of the Crisis in Shanghai, I still want to do something practical to defeat the epidemic and do more responsibilities and obligations. Hua Bo said.
