When you hear the word “hero”, do you think of someone with super powers or someone you know?
“A hero is someone who, in spite of weakness, doubt or not always knowing the answers, goes ahead and overcomes anyway.” said US actor Christopher Reeve, who was best known for playing Superman.
Facing the spread of novel coronavirus, everyone is afraid of deadly disease. But some choose to hold their fear down, stand out and fight the virus. They are known as “heroes in harm’s way(最美逆行者).”
Medical workers and scientists are always on the frontlines. Experts Zhong Nanshan, 84, and Li Lanjuan, 73, for example, have worked day and night to develop rapid test kits(快速检测盒) and treat severe(重症的) patients, doctor Zhang Wenhong from Shanghai tries to tell the public about the virus in a humorous way; Li Wenliang and some other medical workers even lost their lives while fighting the epidemic.
Besides these familiar names, many heroes are still unknown, although they have taken risks and played their own part. Construction(建筑) workers race against the time to build makeshift hospitals; volunteers try hard to help; and thousands of media workers keep the public the news and inspiring(感人的) stories.
The battle against an epidemic is hard. But as long as there are heroes and historic deeds, victory will come for sure.
