In the isolated region of Wuhan City Hospital of integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine, a volunteer from Dalian, Liaoning Province, has been working for more than 20 days. People there call him “Dalian” because of his hometown’s name. However, his arrival on the front line of the fight against the epidemic is totally an accident.
在武汉第一医院隔离区，有一位来自辽宁大连的志愿者，在医院已经工作20多天了，大家都叫他“大连”。但是，他来到抗疫前线，纯属一次意外。
On February 12, heading for Changsha, Dalian was forced to get off the high-speed train in Wuhan after he entered a wrong railway carriage by mistake. All alone in Wuhan, he decided to volunteer in the hospital to contribute to fighting the epidemic.
2月12日，本来想要到长沙的大连，在高铁上误入了到武汉的车厢，在武汉被迫下车。举目无亲的他决定参加医院的志愿者活动，为抗疫事业做贡献。
“I have never done so much housework in the past 20 years, " Dalian said. With the attitude of “since I am here, I may as well stay and make the best of it”, Dalian works hard every day, welcomed by staff and patients. His diligence and optimistic attitude is worth learning from.
“20多天，把二十多年的家务活都干了”，大连说。大连抱着“既然来了，就要做好”的心态，每天努力工作，受到了医院工作人员和患者的喜爱。他勤奋和乐观的心态，值得我们学习。
To keep his family from worrying, Dalian even told them that he was in Changsha. During the particular period, many people can’t go back home and spend time with their family. I hope the epidemic could come to an end soon so that they can all return to their families.
为了防止家人担心，大连一直告诉家人自己现在身在长沙。疫情期间，由于武汉封城，许多人无法回家和家人相聚。希望疫情快点结束，让他们都能回到家人身边。
