Chen Juan, Head of the Emergency Department in the Critical Care Medical Center of a hospital in Pan'an County, gave a special lecture to left-behind children whose parents have migrated to other places for work at an activity held by the Women's Federation of Pan'an County, on April 11, in the county's Waitiankou Village, in Jinhua City of East China's Zhejiang Province.

In the lecture, she told the children stories about the frontline anti-epidemic fight in Wuhan, the former epicenter of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak in China and capital city of Central China's Hubei Province. The children learnt about the truth of life and moral codes from the touching stories.

Chen signed up for the second group of the medical team from Zhejiang Province supporting the fight against the COVID-19 in Hubei Province and was also the county's first medical worker assisting Hubei in the fight against the virus.

It was not easy for frontline medical workers to protect themselves since it took about half an hour to "arm" themselves from head to toe. In bulky protective clothing, Chen did not drink water or go to the toilet so she could keep nursing patients for six hours in a row.

Because of Chen's excellent performance in putting on and taking off protective clothing, her movements were recorded as a teaching video for her teammates.

"The experience in Wuhan is impressive, and I hope the children will cherish the hard-won happy life and remember the heroes who devoted themselves to serving the people. I also want to inspire children to study hard and play their roles in all walks of life when they grow up," Chen said.

The Pan'an Women's Federation organized the lecture in which more than 60 left-behind children, disadvantaged children and women volunteers participated.

The county's women's federation also invited Dong Lanfang, a national-level psychological consultant, to teach the children how to make fully prepared for the upcoming classes and campus life.
