如果这世上真有时间机器，可以带你从未来返还，我想你一定会记得人类历史上的公元2020年是多么的不平凡，又多么的不寻常。你一定会记得那些因为长时间佩戴口罩而被勒出血痕的脸庞，也一定会记得那些因为拯救生命而精疲力竭、席地而眠的身躯。

面对这场突如其来、肆虐人间的新冠疫情，习近平总书记做出重要指示：“人民的生命和健康是第一位的。”战役打响，百万医疗工作者，从年逾古稀的专家医者，到青涩稚嫩的年轻医护人员，从世界闻名的医学大师，到初出茅庐的实习医生，军队医务、地方医务，白衣执甲，逆行出征，驰援武汉。他们以对人民的赤诚和对生命的责任，争分夺秒，舍生忘死，挽救了一个又一个生命，无论是出生仅30个小时的婴儿，还是百岁老人，不惜代价，积极医治。医者仁心，大爱无疆。

没有人生而英勇，只是选择了无畏。

英雄也是血肉之躯，但他们不屈不挠、坚韧不拔。正是这种义无反顾，他们被称颂为白衣天使。正是这种磅礴力量，他们的眼神中充满光明和希望。正是这种生生不息，他们生如夏花，璀璨夺目。

英雄也有至亲好友，但国难当头，危急时刻，他们舍小家为大家，为了全中国人民的父母双亲，子孙后代，他们顾全大局、不辞辛苦。“伟大”一词已经不足以形容这样的奉献精神，为守护祖国疆土，捍卫人民生命，他们做出了巨大的牺牲。

我的女儿今年11岁，她快乐地在家人陪伴下茁壮成长。但与此同时，看到那些因为父母在这场抗疫战争中奔赴前线的孩子们，只能形单影只，留守家中，无人照料，我无数次泪目，无数次揪心。为人母亲，深知这种不能照顾子女，不能陪伴其左右的切肤之痛，那是怎样的舍身取义，怎样的刻骨铭心。

有这样一个小男孩儿，妈妈是护士，爸爸是警察。在这场抗击病毒的战争中，他早晨自己起床，自己出去买食物，自己回家做饭，自己写作业，晚上自己洗漱，自己一个人睡。尽管年幼，仅仅十岁，但因为这场疫情，小男孩儿却和他的父母一样，咬紧牙关，坚强地生活、学习、工作，践行着自己的责任和使命。他的品格，和他尽职尽责的父母一样，伟大而崇高。一张张稚嫩的脸庞，一个个鲜活的生命，一代代年轻的斗士，正在上一辈人铺垫的道路上学会担当、承担责任。至今，我依然记得那个小男孩儿在与父母电话时脸上洋溢的微笑，温暖平和，令人动容。那样的笑容，就是我们心中国家的骄傲。

不得不承认，这场疫情给我们带来难以磨灭的伤害和损失，数以千计的生命逝去，国家经济深受打击。但我们是中国人，不管历经多少磨难，饱经多少风霜，我们内心深知，只有在以习近平总书记为核心的中国共产党领导下，我们才能奋发图强，披荆斩棘；也只有在党的领导下，我们才能和衷共济，国家富强，民族振兴。全世界没有任何一个国家可以像我们一样，14亿中国人携起手来，不论年龄，不论性别，不论民族，不论分工，自觉行动，无私奉献，共同抗击全人类的敌人。同舟共济，百折不挠，众志成城，矢志不渝。

黑暗总会过去，但对那些最美时代英雄之赞歌，声声入耳，字字留心，荡气回肠，响彻云天。

The Most Beautiful Heroes of the Day

If you came from the future by a time machine, you would remember the year of 2020 as a remarkable and extraordinary era in human history. You would remember the faces which have been stamped out by masks, and those figures sleeping on the floor after exhausting life saving work.

In this war against the unexpected, and devastating COVID-19 outbreak, Our President Xi Jinping, firmly gave important instructions that people’s lives and health must come first. Wearing white armor and travelling in reverse,millions of medical workers, military and civilian，from the very young to the very old, from students to the worldrenowned experts， with responsibility , kindness and devotion rooted in their hearts, work around the clock to treat each and every patient, from an infant only 30 hours old to a centenarian whatever it cost.

No Man is born brave, but they choose to be.

Heroes are also made of blood and flesh, but they are tolerant of hardship and toughness. That’s why we call them angels in white, that’s why we see light and hope in their eyes, that’s why they are as beautiful as the bright summer flowers.

They also have families and loving friends, but at this critical moment, they gave up personal feelings and left their parents and children, for all the parents and children of Chinese people, the word of “greatness” is not enough to describe this spirit. They are sacrificing for this land and devoting themselves to our nation.

I have a daughter of 11 years old, who lives happily with the companion of my family, but when I realized there were many kids whose parents are medical workers or social workers who fought against the epidemic were left alone to take care of themselves, I couldn’t stop shedding tears.Because I am a mother, I know how hard it is to leave your own children alone at home without help and care from parents.

There is a little boy whose mother is a nurse and father is a policeman. during this war against virus, he got up in the morning by himself, went out to buy food and cook,ate alone, did homework alone, washed at night and then went to sleep alone. He is only 10 years old. But because of the epidemic, this little boy, like his mother and father, is doing what he thinks he should do. His greatness is no less than that of his parents fighting in the front line. Children like him, with the other young generations, are learning to take responsibility. I still remember

his shiny and sweet smile when he was talking to his parents on the phone, that smile is what we call nation pride.

We have to admit we’ve suffered a lot from this pandemic, thousands of people died and the economy declined. But we are Chinese, we have been through so many tough times that we all understand the only way we could survive and thrive is to rise to every challenge under the leadership of the Communist Party of China with our Chairman at its core. There is no other country like our nation that the 1.4 billion people together, men and women, old and young, regardless of the division ,regardless of the labor,have consciously devoted themselves to the fight against human’s common enemy, united in perseverance, united in solidarity, united in a mighty force.

The darkness will pass, but the tribute and respect to the most beautiful heroes of the day will always be engraved in the history and in our hearts.
