A Party organization is a fortress; a Party member is a banner. The fortress may be silent, yet it can unite tremendous strength; the banner may be voiceless, yet it can inspire soaring determination.
 
A Party organization is a fortress; a Party member is a banner. Though a fortress remains silent, it can still unite tremendous strength; though a banner is voiceless, it can still inspire soaring determination.
After the full-scale launch of the battle against the epidemic, the Party committees of the eight grassroots Party branches and 204 Communist Party members at Shijiazhuang No.4 Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. have remained steadfast in their original aspirations and courageously shouldered their mission on the front lines of epidemic prevention and control production, displaying a spirited fighting spirit. With their passion and actions, they have built one strong barrier after another, ensuring that the Party flag flies high on the frontline of epidemic prevention and control and that the Party emblem shines brightly at their posts.
Upholding “hardcore” responsibility: Stepping forward where the need is greatest.
On the afternoon of the 30th day of the 12th lunar month, Han Shuqin, Deputy General Manager of Shi Si Pharmaceutical, had just finished wrapping up the day’s final tasks and was preparing to head home to reunite with her family when she suddenly received an urgent call from Chairman Su Xuejun: “The COVID-19 situation in Hubei is extremely severe. We need to urgently mobilize supplies such as Abidol and moxifloxacin infusions. Current inventory levels are low, and the production lines will need to be restarted tomorrow. Everyone, please return to your posts as soon as possible. This is our company’s responsibility—there can be no hesitation!”
The epidemic is an order; ensuring safety is our responsibility.
Having weathered the challenges of epidemics such as SARS and H1N1, Han Shuqin now deeply understands the importance of emergency preparedness and support. She swiftly grabbed her phone and issued a call to action to the directors of relevant workshops, rallying them to join the fight against the epidemic and resume production.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the streets of Shijiazhuang, the provincial capital, were eerily empty. She said goodbye to her family early and made her way to work, braving the misty haze. As on any other day, her movements remained crisp and efficient. “Speeding up production,” she said, “is tantamount to fighting the disease, racing against death—we can’t afford to slow down.”
 
 
▲ Han Shuqin, Deputy General Manager of Shisi Pharmaceutical, lived up to her responsibility by providing on-site guidance in the frontline of pharmaceutical production for epidemic prevention and control, ensuring the timely supply of emergency medicines.
 
When she walked into Workshop 102, she was immediately struck dumb. Communist Party members Rong Yanyan, Tian Lili, Yang Junhong, Wang Xiaohua, and Meng Lingyu were already fully equipped and getting ready to start work. At that moment, seeing this scene, her eyes welled up with tears. “These are our Party members—truly capable of stepping up at a critical moment!”
Since resuming production, Workshop 102 has become the busiest workshop in the entire company. Operating on two shifts, with workers taking breaks while the machines keep running, its current daily output has nearly doubled compared to normal days. “The more intense the competition, the more it tests a person’s true mettle.”
“At a time like this, if not us Party members, then who will step up?” On January 29, Rong Yanyan, a Communist Party member and workshop director of Workshop 102, whose voice had already become somewhat hoarse from working continuously for many days, said.
“We’ll produce more emergency medicines—every additional dose will provide an extra layer of protection for those on the front lines!” Rong Yanyan is a Party member with five years of membership. Since the outbreak began, she has put aside her plans to reunite with her family, entrusting her young child to her mother-in-law’s care and rushing straight to her workplace to oversee production.
 
 
▲ Rong Yanyan, director of Workshop 102 at Shisi Pharmaceutical, has remained steadfast at her post since production resumed, organizing employees to work overtime to manufacture the antiviral drug abidol hydrochloride capsules.
 
Party members take the lead and inspire the masses. All 150 workshop employees have returned to work, with not a single person left behind. Han Huijuan is an ordinary packaging team leader in Workshop 102—and she’s also expecting a baby. Since production resumed on January 25, despite being six months pregnant, she has been working overtime alongside her colleagues every day, putting in more than ten consecutive days of hard work. “With party members setting such a fine example, I can’t afford to fall behind either!”
At the disinfectant production post, the packaging process still relies on manual operations, requiring workers to bend over for long periods. After a single shift, many end up with sore backs and aching legs. Yet not a single Party member stationed here has ever complained of hardship or fatigue. “If we put in a little extra effort, everyone will have greater confidence in overcoming the epidemic.”
“Seeing the selfless and fearless dedication of Party members, I’ve deeply felt the sense of responsibility and mission that comes with being a pharmaceutical professional,” said Gu Yongjun, a young worker in the workshop, eagerly expressing his desire to join the Party organization.
Standing at the Front Line: Wherever there are difficulties and dangers, there you’ll find Party members.
This is a war without smoke of gunpowder—a crucial battleground for testing the Party members’ awareness and commitment to their original aspirations. The vast number of Party members at Shisi Pharmaceutical have taken dedicating themselves to the frontline of epidemic prevention and control as a touchstone and sharpening stone for putting their original aspirations and missions into practice and demonstrating their sense of responsibility. Wherever there are difficulties, wherever there is danger, there you’ll find Communist Party members.
At this special moment in the fight against the epidemic, the Storage and Transportation Department of Shisi Pharmaceutical has transformed from an enterprise’s operational support unit into the frontline force rushing to aid the front lines of epidemic prevention and control. Faced with the urgent demand for medications at the front lines of prevention and control, Li Ligong, a Communist Party member and manager of the Storage and Transportation Department, deeply understands the importance of ensuring robust emergency storage and transportation support.
“During this extraordinary time, coordinating transportation—especially inter-provincial transport—has indeed presented numerous challenges. We’re in a state of constant readiness every single day as we fight against the epidemic, but we must go all out.” From the first day of the Lunar New Year until now, his busy figure has been a constant presence at the warehouse sites where supplies are being dispatched to support frontline prevention and control efforts.
“He just can’t stay idle—he’s busy all year round, never having a moment to himself. You’d hardly ever see him at home, and he can’t help with anything around the house. I’d hoped that this Spring Festival we’d have some time off so he could spend quality time with our two kids—but then, of course, the pandemic struck again. These days, we simply can’t do without him at his post, and he’s out early and comes home late, working from dawn till dusk. Right now is the busiest time for pharmaceutical companies—saving lives comes first, and our whole family really understands and supports him.” At this moment, Li Huì, Li Ligong’s wife, had tears welling up in her eyes.
 
 
▲ Li Ligong, manager of the Storage and Transportation Department at Shisi Pharmaceutical, has gone to great lengths to ensure the timely delivery of emergency medicines to Hubei and other regions, earning him the title of Shisi Pharmaceutical’s most admirable “reverse traveler.”
 
“Defending our territory is a duty we must fulfill to the best of our ability.” Faced with today’s severe shortage of available vehicles, he tirelessly reached out to one logistics company after another for assistance. “Under these circumstances—especially during the Spring Festival—it’s indeed quite challenging to coordinate transportation capacity. I’ve had to pull out all the stops.” After more than ten days of steadfast dedication, the Storage and Transportation Department has shipped over 30,000 batches of pharmaceutical products to Wuhan, Enshi in Hubei Province, as well as neighboring provinces and cities, successfully completing the first-phase mission of providing emergency medical supplies to frontline epidemic prevention and control efforts. The department has received high praise from its clients, who commended it, saying, “Shijiazhuang No.4 Pharmaceutical has done an excellent job in ensuring timely transportation and supply.”
At this time, the storage and transportation positions are not only busy but also fraught with unknown risks—after all, they have to deal daily with people and vehicles traveling from and to areas severely affected by the epidemic.
“We can’t afford to worry about so many things—getting the goods delivered to the front lines in a timely manner is the most important thing.”
At this moment, he wasn’t thinking about his own safety; rather, he was more concerned with the urgent needs on the front lines of epidemic prevention and control and the safety of truck drivers.
In critical moments, Party members not only take the lead and set an example, but also show care and warmth to the masses.
Every time before they set off, Li Ligong would provide the “going against the flow” drivers with comprehensive protective measures and repeatedly remind them: “Once you reach your destination, don’t get out of the truck—don’t go anywhere. Just stay put in the cab.” To ensure that the drivers could enjoy a hot meal when they finally stepped out, he even enthusiastically searched his WeChat Moments for cassette stoves and gas canisters, using his warm-hearted concern to comfort these truck drivers who were constantly rushing along the lifeline yet couldn’t return home.
Racing against time and battling the virus requires the joint efforts of everyone.
“I’m a member of the Communist Party—no rest for a single day as long as the epidemic persists…” These firm words and silent actions bear witness to the “hardcore” commitment of Communist Party members. Yan Li, deputy manager of the Storage and Transportation Department at Shisi Pharmaceutical, who has also been steadfastly holding her post for more than ten days, said with unwavering determination.
Stay steadfast at your post: Engrave your original aspiration in your actions and fulfill your mission right where you are.
In times of crisis, one’s original aspirations and mission are put to the ultimate test, and the weight of one’s vows becomes all the more evident.
In this battle, where every second counts, Party members have each demonstrated their unique strengths, leading the vast workforce to the front lines of epidemic prevention and control, thus forging the strongest bulwark at the forefront of the fight against the pandemic.
Abidol capsules and disinfectants are in short supply, with demand surging and upstream raw materials becoming scarce... Faced with the severe situation of shortages in epidemic prevention and control supplies, Shisi Pharmaceutical is doing everything possible to mobilize personnel and resources, ramping up production at full capacity to ensure a steady supply.
On one hand, there’s the urgent demand from the frontline of epidemic prevention and control; on the other, production equipment is hampered by various constraints. The contradiction between the production and sales of disinfectants is becoming increasingly apparent. Despite more than 150 employees at Workshop 102 working overtime around the clock to ramp up production, it remains difficult to meet market demand. Everyone is deeply anxious—what can be done?
On January 28, the fourth day of the first lunar month, Mi Junqing, director of Workshop 103, who works at the Shijiazhuang Sihua High-tech Zone factory, heard the news and volunteered to provide support. He spent the entire night devising and designing a renovation plan.
“I’m a Communist Party member, and it’s my duty to take the lead,” he said firmly in a hoarse voice. Mi Junqing, who has eight years of Party membership, has been working around the clock—day and night—since the fourth day of the first lunar month, modifying and debugging filling machines and conveyor belts.
 
 
▲ Mi Junqing, director of Workshop 103 at Shisi Pharmaceutical, responded promptly to the urgent needs of the production facility and volunteered to take on the task of upgrading the disinfectant production equipment to meet the requirements of epidemic prevention and control.
 
From the filling machine to the conveyor belt, and from the conveyor belt to the running machine—repeated testing dozens of times over and over again—facing one “obstacle” after another during the renovation, he devoted himself wholeheartedly to repeated deliberations, never giving up. When he got tired, he’d simply sit down on the ground; when he got hungry, he’d quickly gobble down a steamed bun. After two consecutive days and nights of intense renovation work, the filling machine’s upgrade was finally a success!
“The production capacity of the disinfectant line has increased from 10,000 bottles per day to 40,000 bottles today. Efficiency has improved dramatically, and the production site has been greatly transformed—this is all thanks to Xiaomi.”
Faced with praise, he said candidly, “As long as I can do my bit to fight the epidemic, a little fatigue and hardship mean nothing! I’m a Party member—this is only what I should do.”
Like Mi Junqing, Yang Junhong, a member of the Communist Party and deputy director of Workshop 102, took the lead in the reconfiguration of the arbidol production line, demonstrating even greater courage and prowess as a woman.
One Party member is a flag—inspiring millions of people and rallying widespread confidence and strength to win the battle against the epidemic.
During the Spring Festival, core R&D personnel—including Communist Party members Sun Lijie and Yin Jie—were all at their posts, stepping up efforts to initiate and carry out research on consistency evaluations of new drugs and antiviral drug injections targeting the novel coronavirus. Working more than ten hours each day, they are racing against the clock, striving to outpace the virus.
 
 
▲ Dr. Sun Lijie from the Shijiazhuang No.4 Pharmaceutical Research Institute is leading the R&D team in conducting in-depth re-studies of antiviral drugs, striving to enhance their clinical value.
 
Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, the vast majority of researchers at Shisi Pharmaceutical have immediately sprung into action, fully leveraging their professional strengths and actively participating in emergency scientific and technological research to combat the epidemic. They have provided robust intellectual and technical support for the fight against the pandemic, demonstrating the sense of responsibility and commitment of outstanding talents.
Winning the battle of containment requires equally prioritizing prevention and control, as well as stepping up production and R&D.
During this period, Liu Yongzhong, a member of the Communist Party and deputy manager of the Security Department at Shisi Pharmaceutical, has been tirelessly patrolling various checkpoints throughout the company to ensure that epidemic prevention and control measures are being properly implemented. Whenever he has a spare moment, he even straps on a sprayer weighing over 20 jin to disinfect vehicles entering the factory. “Preventing the epidemic from spreading internally and stopping its outward spread—failing to get this first line of defense right would be dereliction of duty.”
Since the first day of the Lunar New Year, Communist Party member Huang Xiaofeng has been tirelessly working on the front lines, promoting epidemic prevention measures and providing psychological support to employees. Inspired by him, reporters Wu Yuqing and Lü Wencong have also actively joined the main battlefront of enterprise epidemic prevention and production, using their pens and cameras to convey confidence and resilience.
……
Behind this lies the diligent dedication and steadfast commitment of ordinary Party members—a heartfelt declaration of their unwavering devotion to their original aspirations and mission.
“In this ‘epidemic’ battle fought without the sound of gunfire, we need both brave warriors who charge into the fray and role models like Han Shuqin, Li Ligong, and Mi Junqing—individuals who step forward at critical moments and bravely support the frontline efforts. Each Party member is a banner; they are all the most beautiful ‘reverse runners’ on the lifeline,” said Su Xuejun, Chairman of Shisi Pharmaceutical and Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee, with deep emotion.
“With the strong leadership of the Party Central Committee, we are fully confident that we will win this battle to contain the epidemic at an early date!” Winter will eventually pass, and a bright spring will surely come.
