时光总是匆匆，出发前的种种焦虑仿佛发生在昨天，突然嗖的一下就已经完成援外任务回到了国内。过去这一年如蒙太奇般拼命在脑海里闪现，不知是对桑给巴尔的不舍，还是它想在我的生命中留下印迹。我不是导演，无法将这些瞬间演绎成一部完整的影片，但临行前无数思绪涌来，我不禁化身为感情细腻的汉子，任凭那些滚烫的情感在胸口涌动，在血液里流淌。
      炽热浓烈的爱国心
      初到桑给巴尔，走在路上，许多当地人总是用标准的中文热情地说“你好”，让我们既惊喜又奇怪。跟当地人聊天才知道，原来中国医疗队在这里深耕已经有60年了，一批又一批的医疗队员仿佛健康卫士，守护着岛上居民。当地人心存感激，早已把中国人当成了最好的朋友。这种感觉很微妙，你首先是作为一个中国人被尊重，而后才是作为一名医疗队员被需要。后来在工作中，体会到桑岛的医疗条件是多么落后，感慨国内不仅实现了全民医保覆盖，而且能提供高质量的医疗服务，对比之下更觉祖国了不起！不仅医疗，在教育和民生方面也是如此，桑岛的平均教育水平只有初中毕业，绝大多数年轻人找不到工作，大部分居民的房子连窗户都没有。真是“不识庐山真面目，只缘身在此山中”！华夏儿女最大的幸福就是拥有一个繁荣富强的中国！那份自豪感油然而生，那颗爱国心将永远滚烫！
      授人以渔的同路人
      我所在的纳兹莫加医院麻醉科有二十位麻醉医生。这一年里，我们一起合作，为各种手术保驾护航。我们抢救了许多的危重患者，也开展了多项新技术项目。当地医生对中国医生充满信任，每当遇到疑难问题他们总是第一时间打电话给我，而我必定立即赶赴现场，尽自己所能施以援手，因为我知道在这里中国医生就是保障老百姓健康的底线了。工作之余，我也会给当地医生做一些专业讲座，希望将一些先进的技术和理念教给他们。授人以鱼不如授人以渔，希望中国医生不在的时候他们也能担负起医者的重任。临别时，科里开了一个小小的欢送会，当地医生对我说，Dr.Gu,感谢你一年来对我们无私的付出，你已经是我们这个家庭的一员，我们物质上并不富有，没有什么能给你，但我们会每天为你祈祷，祝你幸福快乐，希望你以后有机会再来这里看一看。是的，若干年后我一定会回来的，我也相信桑岛的未来一定会更好！
      相濡以沫的好队友
      我们桑岛点一共有12名队员，包括专科医生、翻译和厨师。年龄跨度比较大，从70后到90后都有。经过一年的共同生活，大家已经彻彻底底成为一家人。最值得我们骄傲的是，一家人生活在一个屋檐下还有个生气拌嘴的时候呢，我们队员间却一次也没红过脸。大家从集训的那天起就一直相互关心、相互理解、相互扶持。有队员生病了，饭菜必定送到床边。有工作需要队友帮忙了，必定是一呼百应。有人家里遇到困难了，必定群策群力帮忙解决问题。在这离家万里之外的地方，我们只有充分的信任彼此，毫无保留的对待彼此，才能相依为命地度过这一年援外时光。很可能这是我们人生中最后一次集体生活了，我们都非常珍惜与不舍。但我相信，不管再过多少年，这份情谊都不会消散，一起生活的点滴仍会是我们共同的回忆，我们，永远是一家人！
      暖心暖意的贴心人
      我要感谢我的家人，没有他们的理解和支持，我不可能顺利完成援外任务。哪有父母不希望子女常伴膝下？哪有爱人不希望和对方长相厮守？哪有子女不希望父母关怀备至？但有些事总要有人去做，有些责任总要有人去承担。我的女儿在给我的信里这样说：“老爸，看见了你们对非洲人民的关怀，我开始思考生命的意义，也理解了你当医生的初衷——因为穿上白大褂便是一身傲骨，一身赤血，因为行者无涯，医者无疆！你曾与我共谈希望，此刻心中也有了定数，希望我能凭借自己的努力考上一所优秀的医学院，如你那般，找寻自己的人生意义。”家人的付出与牺牲让我感动不已，待我回归家庭角色，我一定会好好弥补我不在的这段日子！
      中国与桑给巴尔相隔万里，但因为“援外医疗”又让两地近在咫尺。这一年，非洲留给我的是什么呢？我想可能是“人类命运共同体”的呼唤，可能是“医无界爱无疆”的责任，也可能就是不同肤色、不同语言下彼此回应的笑脸。从此后，我的心中又多了一份牵挂，它漂洋过海，永远热烈……

During his year in Zanzibar

Time always flies, and all the anxieties before departure seem to have happened yesterday. Suddenly, the foreign aid mission has been completed and returned to China. The past year flashed through my mind like a montage. I don’t know if it was because I was reluctant to leave Zanzibar, or because it wanted to leave a mark on my life. I am not a director, so I cannot interpret these moments into a complete film, but countless thoughts came to me before leaving, and I couldn't help but transform into a man with delicate emotions, letting those hot emotions surge in my chest and flow in my blood.
Fierce and strong patriotism
When we first arrived in Zanzibar, when we were walking on the road, many locals always said "hello" enthusiastically in standard Chinese, which surprised us and was strange. After chatting with the locals, I found out that the Chinese medical team has been working here for 60 years. Group after group of medical team members are like health guards, guarding the island residents. The local people are grateful and have already regarded the Chinese as their best friends. This feeling is very subtle. You are respected as a Chinese first, and then you are needed as a medical team member. Later, at work, I realized how backward the medical conditions in Sang Island were. I felt deeply that China not only achieved universal medical insurance coverage, but also provided high-quality medical services. In comparison, I felt that the motherland was even more amazing! This is not only true in terms of medical care, but also in terms of education and people's livelihood. The average education level on Sand Island is only a junior high school graduate. The vast majority of young people cannot find jobs. Most residents' houses do not even have windows. It’s true that “I don’t know the true face of Mount Lu, just because I am in this mountain”! The greatest happiness for the Chinese people is to have a prosperous and strong China! That sense of pride arises spontaneously, and that patriotism will always be hot!
Fellow travelers who teach people how to fish
There are twenty anesthesiologists in the anesthesiology department of Nazmoga Hospital where I am located. During this year, we worked together to protect various surgeries. We have rescued many critically ill patients and launched a number of new technology projects. Local doctors have full trust in Chinese doctors. Whenever they encounter difficult problems, they always call me as soon as possible, and I will rush to the scene immediately and do my best to help because I know that Chinese doctors here are here to protect the people. A healthy bottom line. After work, I will also give some professional lectures to local doctors, hoping to teach them some advanced technologies and concepts. It is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish. I hope that Chinese doctors can also shoulder the heavy responsibility of doctors when they are away. Before leaving, Corey held a small farewell party. The local doctor said to me, Dr. Gu , thank you for your selfless dedication to us over the past year. You are already a member of our family. We are not materially rich. , there is nothing we can give you, but we will pray for you every day, wish you happiness , and hope that you will have the opportunity to come here again in the future. Yes, I will definitely come back in a few years, and I also believe that the future of Sangdao will be better!
Good teammates who support each other
Our Sandao site has a total of 12 team members, including specialists, translators and chefs. The age span is relatively wide, ranging from those born in the 1970s to those born in the 1990s. After a year of living together, we have completely become a family. What we are most proud of is that even when the family lives under the same roof and there are angry quarrels, our team members have never blushed once. From the day of the training camp, everyone has always cared about, understood and supported each other. If a team member is sick, meals will be delivered to the bedside. If you need help from your teammates for work, they will always respond. When someone's family encounters difficulties, they must work together to help solve the problem. In this place thousands of miles away from home, only by fully trusting each other and treating each other without reservation can we spend this year's foreign aid time relying on each other. It is very likely that this is the last time we will live together in our lives, and we all cherish it very much and are reluctant to part with it. But I believe that no matter how many years pass, this friendship will never dissipate. Every moment of living together will still be our common memories. We will always be a family!
A caring person with a warm heart
I would like to thank my family. Without their understanding and support, I would not have been able to successfully complete the foreign aid mission. What parent doesn’t want their children to be with them all the time? What lover doesn't want to stay with the other person forever? What child doesn't want his parents to care about him? But some things have to be done by someone, and some responsibilities have to be borne by someone. My daughter said this in her letter to me: "Dad, after seeing your care for the African people, I began to think about the meaning of life, and also understood your original intention of becoming a doctor - because wearing a white coat means you are proud. , covered in red blood, because there are no boundaries for practitioners and no boundaries for doctors! You once talked about hope with me, and now you have a certain idea in your heart. I hope that I can be admitted to an excellent medical school with my own efforts, and find myself like you. The meaning of life." I am deeply moved by the dedication and sacrifice of my family. When I return to my role as a family, I will definitely make up for my absence!
China and Zanzibar are thousands of miles apart, but thanks to "foreign medical aid", the two places are close at hand. What has Africa left for me this year? I think it may be the call of "a community with a shared future for mankind", it may be the responsibility of "medicine without boundaries and love without boundaries" , or it may be the smiling faces of different skin colors and different languages that respond to each other. From then on, there was another concern in my heart. It traveled across the ocean and was always warm ...
