It is normal for you to see your parents every day. But for Shen Cong, a 16-year-old boy in Guangdong, the last time he saw his parents was a long time ago.1.
Shen Cong is about 1.7 meters tall and very healthy. He is cheerful and likes playing basketball. “I hope my son can live a normal life like many other children in the future,” Shen Junliang, Shen Cong’s father, told the media.

Shen Junliang and his wife gave up their jobs after their son was abducted（诱拐）. But they failed to find him after traveling to Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Zhuhai, Foshan, Zhongshan and other big cities in Guangdong over the years.

Shen Cong was one of nine children who were abducted through a woman known as “Aunt Mei” between 2003 and 2005. So far, three children, including Shen Cong, have been found.

“China is always well protected by the bravest of them,” former US secretary of state Henry Kissinger once wrote. Indeed, in the fight against the novel coronavirus, it is medical workers who are risking their lives on the frontlines of the epidemic（传染病）.
As of Feb. 17, more than 32,000 medical workers from all over China have been sent to Hubei, the center of the viral （病毒的）outbreak. They are working under unusual conditions, unimaginable stress and a large number of working.
“In Wuhan mobile cabin hospitals, medical workers take turns to treat patients. They usually have to work for six hours in a row, as well as take one hour to put on and take off their protective clothing. To help them recognize each other, they write their names on their clothing. To save time going to the bathroom, they choose to wear ___▲____,” the Paper reported.
Many doctors and nurses were infected（感染）during the earliest period of the outbreak because of a lack of knowledge about the virus, as well as a shortage of medicine. Some of them were treated, got well and went back to work. Some of them, unluckily, lost their lives.
According to China’s National Health Commission, a total of 1,716 medical workers in China were infected with the new coronavirus as of Feb. 11, while six passed away.
With the support of the central government, the working conditions for medical staff in Wuhan have been improved. They are confident that they will beat against the virus.
These medical workers are just common people. To fight the epidemic, parents leave their children and couples get separated. They are mothers and fathers, wives and husbands, sons and daughters, and also warriors（战士）.

Thanksgiving Day was near. A first grade teacher gave her class a tun task——to draw a picture of something for which they were thankful.
Most of the students didn’t come from rich families, but many would still celebrate the holiday with turkey and other traditional goodies of season. These, the teacher thought, would be the subjects of most of the students’ art. And they were, for the most part.
But one student named Douglas drew a different kind of picture. Douglas was a different kind of boy. He was often sad. While other children would play with each other during break time, he would stand closely by his teacher’s side. There was pain behind his sad eyes. But what was it? One could only guess.
Yes, his picture was different. He drew a hand. Nothing else. Just an empty hand.
Other children started to guess whose hand it could be. One child guessed it was the hand of a farmer, because farmers raise turkeys. Another suggested a police officer, because police keep people safe. And so the discussion went on.
Finally the teacher walked over to Douglas’ desk, bent down and asked him whose hand it was. The little boy looked away and said, “It’s yours, teacher.”
She recalled the times when she had taken his hand and walked with him here and there. How often had she said “Take my hand, Douglas, we’ll go outside” or “Let me show you how to hold your pencil.”
Douglas was most thankful for his teacher’s hand.
