(21st Feb 2020), I read this sad news about Hong Ming, a police officer, only 35 years old. Hong-Ming, 35. 战友，一路走好！
He sacrificed his life safeguarding us. At 15:30 on February 20, 2020, he suddenly fainted when he was working overtime to handle the epidemic-related cases (Liuhe Police Station, Taicang City Public Security Bureau, Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province)
Then came the report of Peng Yinhua, a 29-year-old doctor (Wuhan, Hubei province). He died from the novel coronavirus pneumonia on Thursday (9.50 pm), according to the local health administration. He was about to get married on 1st Feb. However, the doctor postponed the wedding and returned to work (at the First People's Hospital of Wuhan Jiangxia district), putting his wedding day on hold.
Let's salute these soldiers who cared so much about us. My deepest condolences and respect.
