Despicableness is the Passport of the Despicable

News broke the day before yesterday that the leaders of a hospital in Shaanxi took higher subsidies than the frontline personnel who aided Hubei. These leading cadres really suffer last and enjoy first. They have no shame at all.

Hospitals often deal with birth, aging, sickness, and death. As the top leaders, the deans and secretaries should be more indifferent to life and death than ordinary people, and look lightly on money, positions, and titles, but the reality is exactly the opposite.

If the deans and secretaries of Shaanxi are still basic operations, the dean and secretary of Wuhan Central Hospital are devil’s steps, snake skin moves, and pig leaders who pit their teammates. Facing the fact of human-to-human transmission, they reprimanded Dr. Ai “You disregard the urban construction results of Wuhan City since the Military Games; you are the sinner affecting the stability and unity of Wuhan City; you are the culprit destroying the forward development of Wuhan City.” Three parallel sentences hit Dr. Ai like an overturning sea, causing mental confusion. In order to create false peace, they forced doctors like Dr. Jiang to take off their masks and exposed them to virus risks, leading to the unfortunate death of four doctors in the hospital: Li Wenliang, Jiang Xueqing, Zhu Heping, and Mei Zhongming.

Despicableness is the passport of the despicable. For money, positions, and titles, the despicable regard grassroots doctors as chips for promotion and tools for amassing wealth, and regard life as grass. These rotten elements within the organization are more hateful than viruses. Viruses are just foreign bodies in the organism, and humans can resist them by relying on their own immune systems. All epidemics in history, no matter how fierce they were when they came, eventually chose to reconcile with humans. But the corrupt elements hidden inside social organizations are like cancer cells, unable to be eliminated, and taking people’s lives.

It is reported today that 150 doctors in a hospital in Yunnan gave up applying for anti-epidemic subsidies to support Wuhan. Comparing the two, the difference in realm appears immediately. Nobleness is the epitaph of the noble. I hope hospitals everywhere will not repeat the scandals of Wuhan and Shaanxi hospitals, nor do I encourage hospitals everywhere to emulate the Yunnan hospital, forcing or “advocating” medical staff who have already made major contributions to give up the meager subsidies they should have obtained.

Night of March 12, 2020, when global stock markets melted down.
