Despite the tension and anxiety, but more than the feeling is warm and warm, more than 9,000 stranded tourists encountered an "unusual" Ejinna: golden poplar, a heart-warming city.

A "life-saving medicine" that spans thousands of miles

Nearly half of the stranded tourists are elderly tourists, and ensuring their physical health is the focus of local tourist resettlement work.

Ms. Wang, who traveled with Ms. Xu on the same tour train, has cancer and needs to take medication all year round. Before leaving, Ms. Wang estimated the time of the trip and brought enough medicine for 15 days, but the journey was suddenly pressed the "pause button" in Ejin. During the stay, the medicine box became more and more empty, and Ms. Wang became more and more anxious.

Ms. Wang lives in a closed area, and personnel cannot go out. The tour guide told her about her situation to Tian Derong, a cadre of the Baolian Federation in the sealing and control area and deputy director of the Transportation Bureau of Ejin Naqi. "The two medicines she needed could not be bought in Ejin Naqi, so I sent a circle of friends with my colleagues for urgent help and called friends I knew." Tian Derong said that finally, one medicine was found in Xi'an, and another was found in Alxa Zuoqi, and the vehicles transporting rescue materials were contacted to send them into Ejina Banner. Three days later, the "life-saving medicine" was delivered to Ms. Wang across thousands of miles.

Two days later, along with the new list of drug needs, Tian Derong's hand was also a handwritten thank-you letter from Ms. Wang — "I feel the warmth of a big family." ”

Some elderly tourists have a shortage of daily medication due to their stay, and the heart-warming "Medicine Delivery Record" is frequently staged on the Gobi Desert of Ejina.

"Ejina is as strong as a poplar"

Mr. Wang, a Tourist from Beijing, planned to travel to Ejin Naqi for 3 days, but because of the epidemic for 14 days, he used a small video to record every day he stayed in Ejin Naqi.

On the 3rd day of Ejin Banner, Mr. Wang went to a supermarket to buy, and the boss insisted on settling at the wholesale price, saying: "I am a wholesale supermarket here, and I want to sell it at the wholesale price." ”

On the 10th day in Ejina, because of the small number of people and many rooms, the meals delivered by the hotel were some cold, and Mr. Wang suggested setting up a microwave oven in the common area, and the next day there was a microwave in the corridor.

On the 14th day of Ejina, Mr. Wang stepped on the bus of the transfer and came to Baotou City, Inner Mongolia to start centralized isolation, and after 14 days of health monitoring, he will return to his hometown.

"The sudden outbreak of the epidemic has made me know Ejin na more deeply." Mr. Wang said, "The people here have warmth, tolerance, dedication, and enthusiasm. ”

Ms. Wang's family of four from Yinchuan also recorded life here through a small video during her stay in Ejina due to the epidemic.

Ms. Wang likes to read, this time with her parents to travel without taking books out, during the stay she mentioned a word to the hotel delivery staff, the next day the hotel staff sent her a book, and a small bag of rice, convenient for her to boil some porridge for the elderly.

Ms. Wang said that stranded in the hotel, everyone was a little anxious at first, but there was a sister from Wuhan among the tourists, who told everyone the precautions for protection; there was a big brother in Guangzhou who was passing by on a business trip, who participated in the material security work when fighting the epidemic in Guangzhou, and gave the hotel a lot of rationalization suggestions... "More than 80 people in the hotel, from all over the world, we are united and actively respond to the epidemic, I hope everyone can go home as soon as possible." She said.

Ms. Wang said that Ejina is as strong as a poplar and hopes to defeat the epidemic as soon as possible.

"Silent" thanks

Ejin Naqi Bayan Tao Lai Sumu is close to the Poplar Forest Scenic Area, and many tourists live in the homestay in between. After the outbreak of the epidemic, 22 tourists were stranded in Sumu, including 8 hearing-impaired tourists from Xi'an, staying at the home of the owner of the homestay, Bilige.

Tourist Hao Yajun wrote that we were quarantined in the Folk Customs Garden, and we were taken care of by the Biliger family, and this "safe island" was very good.

Biliger provided them with three meals a day, and also reduced the room rate from more than 100 yuan a day to 70 yuan including food and accommodation. Hao Yajun said in sign language: "When we encountered difficulties, Bilig helped a lot. ”

Local farmers and herdsmen heard that some tourists were stranded in Sumu, and they fried oil cakes, steamed steamed buns, and pressed noodles to give to stranded tourists. Once, Sumu staff sent daily necessities to 8 hearing-impaired tourists, Hao Yajun expressed his gratitude in sign language, and Bilig "translated" on the spot: "He is saying: Thank you for coming to visit us, thank you for providing us with living materials." ”

Spending more than a dozen days with deaf tourists, Biliger also learned simple sign language. He said, "I started communicating through texting, slowly learned a little sign language, and now I'm like a family." ”

At present, 8 deaf tourists have chosen to stay in Ejin Naqi for isolation and health monitoring. They said they hoped to defeat the epidemic as soon as possible and come back to Biliger's house next year. (Contributors: He Shuchen, Wang Xuebing, Behe)
