A conference to commend individuals or units for their contributions to fighting Covid-19 in Heilongjiang Province was held recently, with many organisations, individuals, CPC members and grassroots Party groups receiving commendations.  

Lv Qiaofeng, secretary of the Heilongjiang Branch Party committee, attended the conference, and Ma Rui, head of the Administration Section of the General Office of the Heilongjiang Branch, was named Advanced Individual Fighting Covid-19 in Heilongjiang Province.

At the onset of the epidemic, the branch called for its faculty and staff to volunteer in communities. Ma Rui was one of those who responded despite work and family responsibilities. His checkpoint served a large population yet had few volunteers, and he manned it from morning to evening. Those with him described him as a fighter, and over 26 days he accumulated 104.5 hours. His tasks included guarding the checkpoint, dealing with the garbage produced by quarantined households, and providing them with disinfection. After his shifts, he would stay until early morning to help other workers affix seals to the doors of households still in quarantine.
