The girl in the photo called Ying Cheng, Five other colleagues from her hospital received an emergency notification from the hospital: the negative pressure ward will be activated at any time! After receiving the notice, she didn't have much time to explain to her family one by one, and she immediately returned to the hospital to prepare to enter the front line "battlefield". Since then, Ying Cheng has stayed in the negative pressure ward every day, guarding the diagnosed patients against a distance. In front of the infection building of the Fourth Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine, her boyfriend met across the glass. This is the first time they have met in 11 days.
