.

Integrate China and the West, gather elite parents at home and abroad, and broaden the vision of international education.

Recently, the topic of how strong children are growing up in the epidemic has gone viral, and children with small bodies have shown a lot of energy:

Going to the quarantine point in the early morning, the little body struggled to climb into the car.

Both parents were diagnosed, and the 5-year-old went to quarantine alone.

Pull grandma in a rickshaw to do a nucleic acid test; the isolation suit is longer than the body.

After reading it, many parents and friends shouted, "what a breach of defense!"

It was supposed to be the age of the most clingy parents, and it was supposed to be the most naughty age, but because of the sudden epidemic, they seemed to have grown up all of a sudden!

Facing the epidemic situation

The strength of the children is touching.

In the three years since COVID-19 's attack, Chinese children under the epidemic have been much stronger than we thought.

When the epidemic broke out in Zhengzhou last year, the young infected person was only 3 years old. Zhengzhou opened all the nucleic acids in the school, and the students were urgently sealed in the classroom.

It is gratifying that they did not panic, the pupils sat quietly in their seats and waited for instructions, and even the kindergarten children were surprisingly clever.

At the nucleic acid testing site, the children in the kindergarten were affixed with their own detection codes and lined up neatly under the guidance of the teacher.

Putian, Fujian Province, a 4-year-old child, wearing protective clothing, because his parents can not travel together, walked into the hospital alone for CT examination.

With a small figure, a long protective suit and a heavy backpack, a man walked bravely into the consultation room.

A video of an one-year-old diagnosed baby in Xi'an also hit a lot of people.

After half an hour's drive, the nurse's little sister gently hugged him to sleep without moving her posture.

The baby is very cooperative, does not cry also does not make, as if knows the nurse little sister's hard work, very cooperative.

There is an 8-year-old boy in Panzhihua, Sichuan, whose parents are fighting the epidemic on the front line.

When the reporter asked him what it was like for his parents to go to the front line to fight the epidemic, he cried: "A bad feeling, because at home alone, I feel very lonely."

And asked him how to adjust himself.

The 8-year-old child suppressed his desire to cry. After calming down, he said like an adult, "take a deep breath."

He knew that what his parents were going to do was meaningful, and he didn't have an emotional breakdown, but tried to control his emotions and control himself in a calm way.

Do you still remember the scene called "the cutest bow" by netizens?

In October last year, when the 2-year-old boy in Zhejiang was discharged from the hospital, the nurse sister who took care of him saw him out and was about to wave goodbye when the little boy suddenly bowed to her and she immediately returned the gift.

Coincidentally, some netizens turned out a century-old photo of Mr. Meitengen, the then director of Hangzhou Guangji Hospital, when he was inspecting the ward, when a small patient bowed to him and Mr. Meitengen bowed back. This scene was also captured by the photographer.

With the change of times, the benevolence of the doctors remains the same, and the sincere gratitude of the children remains the same.

The epidemic is like a mirror. We have seen not only the unity of 1.4 billion Chinese people, but also the sudden growth of many children.

Children may not understand exactly how powerful a virus COVID-19 is, nor do they understand the impact COVID-19 has had on the world.

But they are no longer naughty, quietly do a good job of their own at the same time, but also quietly contribute their part to the society.

Youth / childhood is only a few years old

The epidemic accounted for three years.

This spring, the national epidemic was once again in a state of emergency.

Recently, a popular saying is: "Youth / childhood is only a few years, the epidemic accounts for three years."

A mother said that the day after the outbreak happened to be a period when her one-year-old daughter was exploring the outbreak and was interested in everything. Unfortunately, she was blocked at home again and again, and twice on her three birthdays.

This struggle with novel coronavirus has been going on and off for three years, and children born during the epidemic may not have traveled abroad.

Although the epidemic has occupied most of the children's childhood, it is surprising to find that children have found a way to "reconcile and coexist" with epidemic prevention.

The unified theme of children going from house to house has become-- nucleic acid testing and checking health codes:

Now this wave of children know from an early age to wear masks when they go out, just like wearing clothes, socks and shoes when they go out.

@ small balls

My meatball has put "wear mask, wash hands frequently" into the bone, this is a very good thing! Meatball said every day: "Mom, the security uncle downstairs is asking everyone to do a nucleic acid test again." The 2-year-old meatball never cried when he did the nucleic acid test. He was very cooperative and would say thank you to the doctor when he finished.

@ lazy bugs

The free nucleic acid of the whole nation has been done, and the charged nucleic acid in the hospital has also been done. My child will rank the uncomfortable degree of nucleic acid everywhere. Where the doctor does the nucleic acid poke is the most painful, and where the nucleic acid is very gentle.

@ Bear

Our baby memorized the most familiar "poem": wearing masks, washing hands frequently, often ventilating, one meter line, not gathering, not believing rumors, safety and health is the most important.

If the change brought about by the epidemic can not be rejected, then choose to accept it, choose a better way to get along with it, these children have taught us a lesson.

Hu Yuexi, a sixth grader, is an army boy. Her father, Hu Yu, is a member of the Hubei medical team supported by the army.

Hu Yu is particularly busy on weekdays, and has participated in many operations such as Wenchuan earthquake relief and peacekeeping in Lebanon. After COVID-19 appeared, he did not hesitate to go to Hubei.

In the 12 years since Hu Yuexi was born, her father has only spent five birthdays with her. After the outbreak of the COVID-19 epidemic, her father was absent again.

In her letter to her father, Hu Yuexi wrote:

"I don't blame you at all. I know it's your duty to do difficult things. I hope that the difficult things you do will lead to the recovery of the patients."

Parent-child relationship under epidemic situation

Subtle changes have also taken place.

Three years of epidemic situation and three years of online lessons.

Although the life of chicken flying and dog jumping in the online course is still fresh in my mind, the parent-child relationship has also undergone some positive changes and gained a lot of warmth and emotion.

Since the Spring Festival holiday this year, primary and secondary school students in Hohhot have been in the mode of online lessons without stopping classes.

With the increase of time spent with their children, parents who are too busy at work to accompany their children have more opportunities to contact and communicate with their children.

A mother Zhao reflected that over the years she was always staring at her daughter's grades, smiling when her grades were good, and losing her temper if her grades were not good.

Usually because of the busy work, I seldom care about what my daughter likes to eat and what she likes.

Due to the lack of communication between mother and daughter, she has no idea what her daughter is thinking at the bottom of her heart.
