The Chinese are really a nation that is not afraid of hardship and works hard without complaining.

Following Captain Qi's order, all the doctors and nurses from Haidong Province put down their luggage, picked up their tools, and started cleaning up this dilapidated camp.

Chen Qi looked at the two cute little nurses in the Yuezhong team. They didn't complain at all. One picked up the sickle and the other picked up the shovel and rushed to the grass. He couldn't help but admire them.

As a result, when he turned around, he saw that Yi Zewen had brought a rag over.

Chen Qi was a little strange: "Lao Yi, what are you doing? All other girls have sickles, but you just get a rag?"

Yi Zewen was a little embarrassed: "This, Dean Chen, this is prepared for you. This is an easy job and you won't be tired."

Chen Qi rolled his eyes and said unhappily:

"I am such a sneaky person. Everyone is doing manual labor. You want me to use a rag to show off? Get out of here and go to work. As the deputy leader, I have more important work to do.

”

After saying that, Chen Qi took out a Shanghai-made Seagull DF-1ETM SLR camera from his backpack.

This is a new thing that has just been launched. It cost Chen Qi 690 yuan to buy two large boxes of film alone. Comrade Chen Wanwan is determined to become "Photographer Chen".

Yes, Chen Qi decided to take photos for everyone.

This is the first time that the Haidong Provincial Medical Team has arrived in Sierra Leone. The first day was spent in labor. Whether it was hard or not, it was at least quite meaningful.

When everyone saw Chen Qi taking out his camera, everyone became even more excited.

"Dean Chen, come and take a picture of all the members of our Yongbo City Medical Team."

"Dean Chen, can you take a personal photo of me? I want to send it to my lover."

"Dean Chen, is it okay if I take a photo like this?"

An old aunt took out a silk scarf and fluttered it in the wind, looking like a fairy. Chen Qi quickly clicked one at her.

Then a large group of old aunties rushed over, pulling out their silk scarves and asking Chen Qi to help take a photo. For a while, the atmosphere in the camp became more and more lively.

Chen Qi couldn't help but sigh in his heart

After all, these doctors have all experienced hardship. They are either educated youths who have gone to the mountains and countryside, or they are young people like him who did not have enough to eat when they were studying.

None of us have deep material needs and desires, we value honor very seriously, and we also have national sentiments in our hearts. Otherwise, how could we be willing to abandon our families and children and come to this distant Africa when given an order?

Not everyone is like Chen Qi, who was forced to come here.

Facing this group of respectable and lovely people, Chen Qi doesn't care whether he knows them or not. Anyway, as long as the members make requests, he will do his best to satisfy them, and the sound will continue.

Finally, Chen Qi took out his camera and took a video, leaving behind this precious scene.

Chen Qi brought all these cameras with him. The cameras were not just for fun, he still wanted to do some scientific research projects in Africa.

His situation is special. Because he is a double director of the International Medical Association, the province has specially approved that Chen Qi can leave Sierra Leone at any time and go to other countries to attend various academic conferences.

This also means that Chen Qi can still carry out his own scientific research and projects during his two years in Africa. If he can do some creative research, wouldn't it be a double success?

So it is not as some people have guessed that Chen Qi really has to spend two years in Africa chewing cassava, unable to move, and living like a savage.

For him, leaving Africa is just a matter of a plane ticket, and he can come and go freely.

Even for air tickets, he doesn’t necessarily have to pay for them personally, he has his own sponsors to pay for them.

Moreover, Japanese Nipro Pharmaceutical Company has also assured Chen Qi that Nipro Pharmaceuticals can provide whatever equipment and instruments he needs, even daily necessities and food.

Look, this is how top international doctors are treated.

On this day, Chen Qi took 10 rolls of film, and finally took a group photo with the help of the embassy and consulate staff.

Everyone in the photo is a big man with a full head, holding a working tool in his hand, smiling very happily at the camera.

Many years later, this group photo has become the most precious memory of all members of the Haidong Medical Group, and everyone praises it.

What is especially precious is that during those two years, they were the closest colleagues with the legendary medical guru Chen Qi. This experience became everyone's pride.

Fortunately, there is electricity in the camp, although the electricity is not very stable, which is good news within the bad news.

Chen Qi and his new colleagues began to build a brand new operating room, assembling when it was time to assemble, and disinfecting when it was time to disinfect.

The operating room was built in a dilapidated house, which could only be described as bare walls. Yi Zewen had to paste newspapers on the walls, while several young nurses sprayed disinfectant all over the room.

With the help of an electrician, Chen Qi had just assembled the shadowless lamp when his face suddenly felt itchy and he quickly slapped it.

You wouldn’t know if you didn’t hit him, but when you hit him, he was startled, his face was covered in blood, and there was a huge mosquito that had been swatted all over. This scared Chen Qi quite a lot.

For all the Chinese medical team members in this hellish place in Africa, the most terrifying thing is not the harsh conditions, but the too many infectious diseases.

For example: Dengue fever, malaria, epidemic, febrile disease, cholera, Enterobacteriaceae diarrhea, hepatitis A, fluke, typhoid fever, etc.

Many diseases are spread by insects, and mosquitoes and other small insects are difficult to prevent.

The only effective thing is vaccination, but in the 1980s, there was a lack of vaccination in this area.

And the most terrifying thing is AIDS.

Although this disease was still a newly discovered disease in 1986, when Chen Qi was here, the first case was discovered in the distant country of Mold.

But Chen Qi knows that the hometown of AIDS is in Africa. Two-thirds of the world's AIDS patients are in Africa. The AIDS infection rate in many poor African countries is very alarming and exaggerated.

For example, in countries such as Swaziland, Botswana, Lesotho, and Zimbabwe, the proportion of people diagnosed with AIDS has reached 40%.

But think about it, many places in Africa are in a primitive tribal state, and local people have no chance to come into contact with modern medical testing.

Therefore, the true infection rate may be higher. In some countries, more than 50% of the citizens may be infected with AIDS.

Moreover, countries with high HIV infection rates also have another characteristic: they are poor.

Sierra Leone completely complies with this point, and there is another fatal thing about Sierra Leone, that is, this country recognizes polygamy.

Let alone having sex in private. Anyway, the prairie is a vast expanse of sky and wild fields. Dogs and boys get into the grass and have sex, who knows?

Others don't know the dangers of AIDS in Africa, but Chen Qi knows that it is an incurable and terminal disease.

But there is no vaccine to prevent this disease.

Faced with the threat of so many deadly infectious diseases, Chen Qi decided to focus on personal hygiene and hospital hygiene, especially when treating African black uncles.

This is because the needle stuck itself, or it came into contact with the patient's blood or body fluids, who knows whether it will win the bid.

This is what Chen Qi is most worried about. He hopes that there will be more than 100 medical staff and logistics staff when he comes.

But often when you are most afraid of accidents, accidents will come.

The next morning, when Chen Qi and the others had just eaten corn mush and were preparing to continue repairing the camp, a patient came to their door.

The camp where the Chinese Medical Group is located is not far from the seaside. It is said to be within the city limits of Freetown, but it is surrounded by slums.

For the sake of international friendliness, let’s call it a small fishing village for the time being.

Although Chen Qi has never left the camp, he has used a telescope to observe his surroundings before, and he probably has some idea.

The fishing level of African Black Uncles should still be relatively primitive. Just look at their fishing boats. You can tell that there is not a single modern fishing boat in sight.

The accident happened among this group of fishermen.

Fisherman Vivian is in her 30s this year. Yes, in this country, a 30-year-old is already a fellow villager. If she is in her 50s, that means longevity.

Vivian is one of the more capable people in the village. He owns a small fishing boat and hires five villagers to help him fish.

Because it is located in the capital city circle, every time Vivian catches fish, he can quickly take it to the city to sell it. Although the price is not high, it can at least provide food and clothing for the family.

When encountering bad weather or bad business and no one buys, Vivian can only admit that he is unlucky. After all, he does not have a freezer and cannot preserve the seafood.

And Africans are not as smart as Chinese people and know how to make salted fish, so the spoiled fish and shrimps can only be thrown away in the end.

For fishermen, what they desire most is to catch rare fish. For example, catching a tuna is enough for the fishermen and their family to live a good year and exchange for N bags of precious flour.

After all, no matter how poor a country is, rich people are still indispensable.

You let the rich eat some trash fish? They are not interested, and the noble people all eat steak.

Vivian's fishing boat was lucky today. It fished using local methods and actually caught a big fish. Everyone was very excited when they saw the tight fishing line.

"Look, this fish jumped out of the water."

"It's great, it's a huge swordfish, weighing at least several hundred kilograms!"

"I'm going to make a fortune. This fish can be sold for at least 5 million leones (local currency)."

Everyone was very excited, but Vivian carefully controlled the fishing line, reminding the driver to adjust the position of the fishing boat from time to time.

Vivian is not as optimistic as other fishermen. Although swordfish is valuable, it is also very dangerous.

The long pointed head of the swordfish is like a sharp sword. Countless fishermen die from swordfish every year.

Vivian's ability to successfully live to the age of more than 30 years depends on being careful. For others who are not careful, the weeds on their graves are two meters high.

Finally, the swordfish's strength became weaker and weaker. Vivian closed the fishing line and shouted loudly for everyone to get out of the way. The most critical moment had arrived.

When the swordfish is desperate, it has a strong desire for revenge and will launch a final attack on moving humans, using its long pointed head to rush over like a rocket.

If the crowd is unable to escape and gets stabbed, given the medical conditions in Africa, you can basically go see their great-grandmother.

Vivian knew that the last moment had arrived and shouted: "The fish are coming up, everyone, get out of the way!"

And like a warrior, he stood alone on the bow of the boat and pulled hard, trying to pull the sailfish onto the boat.
