“Mom, you must come back safe and sound”. Xu Hong from Class 26 of our MHA program.

She is Xu Hong, a nurse of the Orthopedic Group of the Tenth's People's Hospital Affiliated to Tongji University. Xu, who was born in 1981, has rich nursing experience. She worked in several departments, such as the extracardiac intensive care unit, the respiratory department, the neurology department, and others.


After receiving the notice on the afternoon of February 23td, Xu Hong signed before even telling her husband and daughter. When she came back home, she told them her decision. Her 12-year-old daughter cried and said: "Mom, you have to promise me that you will come back safe and sound. When you come back, I will always be by your side".


Xu Hong was on duty on the night of New Year's Eve. She arrived at 7:30 in the morning, and at six o'clock on the evening of the same day, she received a sudden call with instructions to leave for Wuhan. Xu immediately called and asked her husband to prepare her a suitcase with the things she could need and told him to bring it to the hospital. When the husband and daughter arrived at the hospital, Xu was busy measuring the temperature of people who were entering the ward. They just have little time to say goodbye. That is another story of white angels giving all they got to help their country.
