Xinhua News Agency, Colombo, October 3rd (Reporter Tang Lu) October 1st this year is not only the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day in China, but also the full moon festival in Sri Lanka. In order to enable all employees to work more energetically, the China-aided Sri Lankan National kidney disease hospital Project in Polonnaruwo, central Sri Lanka, announced that the whole camp would have a day off.
"You’re not here, it’s not convenient for me to visit relatives alone. You pay attention to your health outside … … Don’t worry, I’m physically weak. The Mid-Autumn Festival company gave out moon cakes and fruit benefits. You can also feel the taste of home here … …” Yin Shaoxi, a bricklayer who has been away from home for more than two years, confided his affection with his wife in his hometown in Hubei on the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Vipur, a local driver in the kidney disease hospital project, said that the Mid-Autumn Festival in China, like the full moon festival in Sri Lanka, is a family reunion festival. "China friends came to my hometown to build a hospital away from their families. We are very grateful. There are many patients with kidney disease around, and my family knows that I am working in kidney disease hospital. Everyone is looking forward to the hospital being built soon. "
Naruwo, Bronn is the highest incidence area of chronic kidney disease in Sri Lanka. A few years ago, the Chinese and Sri Lankan governments agreed to build a national nephrology hospital here as an aid project in China. According to the plan, the building area of the hospital is 25,917 square meters, which will include 200 general inpatient beds and 100 hemodialysis beds.
After two years of fighting, this hospital with red theme, located in a green field, has gradually taken shape. Sri Lankan leaders have said on more than one occasion that the National kidney disease hospital has brought hope to local patients with chronic kidney disease, and the hospital will become the largest specialized nephrology hospital in South Asia after its completion, and they are very much looking forward to the day when it is officially put into use.
It is also the hope of Chinese builders to build hospitals as soon as possible. During the interview, many employees from China who participated in the construction of kidney disease hospital said that the kidney disease hospital project has a short construction period and heavy tasks, and they are very proud to work here on behalf of China. They will do their best to build the hospital as soon as possible so that the hospital can serve local patients as soon as possible.
Zhou Guohua, who came to Sri Lanka in September 2018 to participate in the construction of kidney disease hospital, has spent the Mid-Autumn Festival here for the third time. His main responsibility is engineering quality inspection. "We must have high quality and strict requirements and hand over a quality project to the Sri Lankan government and people. What impressed me most after coming to kidney disease hospital was working overtime for a long time. There are basically no holidays here. It is a luxury to have a Mid-Autumn Festival holiday. I only took a half-day holiday last month. " Zhou Guohua said.
Zhou Guohua told reporters that before the epidemic, some local villagers and patients often came to visit the hospital. Whenever he saw the local people’s expectant eyes on the hospital, he would think of his wife. "Seven years ago, my wife died of kidney disease. I know the pain of patients with kidney disease." For Zhou Guohua, besides shouldering the heavy responsibility of the country like other Chinese builders, there is also a deep feeling: building a hospital for patients with kidney disease to comfort his wife.
Because of this, Zhou Guohua has been devoted to the construction site. He said: "After every working procedure of the workers, I must complete the quality inspection in the shortest time. Only in this way can the whole construction process not be delayed."
According to Zhi Li, the project manager of Huashan International Engineering Company, who is responsible for the construction of the hospital, at present, more than 80% of the project construction in kidney disease hospital has been completed, and the interior decoration and equipment debugging have also started. The project was originally planned to be completed by the end of July this year, but due to uncertain factors such as the epidemic situation, some work was forced to be postponed. "At present, it is the most critical moment of construction. In order to complete it as soon as possible, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, ‘ Main melody melody ’ Still can only catch up with the construction period. "
Zhi Li said that the reason why the project department decided to take a day off was to let everyone relax after a long-term fatigue, to make full use of the Mid-Autumn Festival to express their thoughts to their families, to redouble their efforts to pay tribute to the motherland, to contribute to the Sri Lankan people and to contribute to the friendly cooperation between China and Sri Lanka.
