Yellow Crane Tower
Cui Hao
The sage on yellow crane was gone amid clouds white.
To what avail is Yellow Crane Tower left here?
Once gone, the yellow crane will never on earth alight;
Only white clouds still float in vain from year to year.
By sunlit river trees can be counted one by one;
On Parrot Islet sweet green grass grows fast and thick.
Where is my native land beyond the setting sun?
The mist-veiled waves of River Han make me homesick.

Composition:
Spring with vitality and hope has quietly arrived, but the virus has not left with winter. At present, there are still many medical staff, soldiers, policemen, scientific researchers and grassroots workers still fighting on the front line of fighting the COVID-19.
For them, the epidemic is an order, and prevention and control is a responsibility. This epidemic is like pressing the "pause button" in Wuhan or even other areas, and in order to press the "play button" again, too many people are working hard and struggling for it: like a doctor Gan Ruyi stepping on a bicycle and stepping on it, a return journey of 4 days and 3 nights, regardless of day and night, both wind and rain, only for "return to work as soon as possible"; as the doctor in the "Life Fate" video says "sometimes heal, often help, always comfort" People know that technology is a "machine" to overcome epidemic diseases, but they also understand that humane care is indispensable; for example, the army sends people's soldiers to support Hubei medical team and Vulcan Mountain medical missions; such as Academician Zhong Nanshan and Academician Li Lanjuan, etc.
At the expense of personal rest time; like countless grass-roots workers, in order to better prevent and control the epidemic, make every effort to launch daily temperature measurements, home delivery services and other programs to reduce the incidence of personnel contact and cross-infection; The "Most Beautiful Retrogrades" supported Wuhan and united their ambitions, firmly convinced that they could win the battle against the epidemic.
But at the same time, I also saw such reports in the news: bad businesses took the opportunity to raise the prices of masks and vegetables; unreasonable people did not cooperate with the inspection of the epidemic prevention.
In the end, l believe that love and hope will definitely be faster than the virus. I hope that in this spring, everyone can become a person who is full of devotion and love.
