On the front line of the fight against the epidemic, women from all walks of life have resolutely implemented the decisions and deployment of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core, and made contributions to the epidemic prevention and control.

Three women role models who worked bravely on the front line of the anti-COVID-19 battle shared their stories at an event held at China Women's University (CWU) on November 26.

The event, sponsored by the Publicity Department of the All-China Women Federation and the Ideological and Political Work Office of the Ministry of Education, aimed to promote the great anti-epidemic spirit, deepen a sense of patriotism and encourage CWU students to learn from the role models and strive to beall-round socialist builders and successors.

In March, President Xi Jinping, general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission, encouraged young medics who are fighting COVID-19 to make their contributions in places where the Party and the people need them most. President Xi made the remarks in response to a letter from 34 young Party members of a medical team sent by Peking University to assist the anti-epidemic battle in Hubei Province — the epicenter of the outbreak. Li Siqi, an ophthalmic nurse at Peking University Third Hospital, is one of the 34 young Party members.

Li shared her stories in Wuhan, including how to do practice in putting on and taking off isolation suit, how to use respirator and how to take care of each patient carefully.

"The stories of the women role models made me deeply feel the noble spirit and great strength of the heroines. As the young generation of the new era, we must keep our mission in mind and grow into new comers who dare to take on the responsibility of national rejuvenation,"said a woman college student.

Liu Liqun, President of the CWU, and Zhao Hao, Deputy Secretary of the Party committee of the CWU, participated in the activity. More than 350 representatives of teachers and students from the CWU also attended the event.
