近日，联合国秘书长青年特使办公室在联合国网站推介了全球十位年轻人参与抗疫的故事。他们来自世界的各个地方，身份各不相同，却在抗击疫情的过程中扮演了同一种角色——在他人需要帮助时，伸出援手、勇担重任。 这十位年轻人里，24岁的中国女孩“雨衣妹妹”刘仙也在列其中。 As COVID-19 spreads across the world, many countries were forced into a state of emergency and millions of people are now limited to different levels of quarantine and isolation. In this moment of unprecedented crisis, young people are rising up to the challenge of the pandemic. Liu Xian is one of them. The 24-year-old woman who volunteered to cook for medical workers in the city of Wuhan amid the coronavirus outbreak, was selected by the United Nations Office of the Secretary-General's Envoy on Youth as one of the "10 leaders who can inspire you to change the world" during the pandemic. Affectionately known as "Raincoat Girl" due to her attire, she has become a viral sensation in China, and an inspiration to many around the world.
After hearing frontline medics in Wuhan could rarely eat warm meals due to the closure of restaurants, she decided to head to Wuhan to cook for them. /Xinhua News Agency 大学毕业后，四川女孩刘仙在成都做起了团餐生意，在全国开了100多家分店。武汉疫情暴发后，她了解到由于长时间、高强度的工作以及餐饮行业的陆续歇业，前线的医护工作者们难以吃上温热的家常饭菜，于是便做了一个大胆的决定——奔赴前线为医护工作者们烹饪可口菜肴。 Liu is an ordinary entrepreneur who started a catering business in Chengdu City, southwest China's Sichuan Province. When the epidemic erupted in Wuhan, she heard that frontline medical workers could rarely eat warm meals due to the extended working hours and the closure of local restaurants. Therefore, she decided to head to the then outbreak epicenter and started preparing food for medics who battled at the anti-epidemic frontline, despite the risk of getting infected. Liu Xian, 24, volunteered to cook for medical workers in Wuhan amid the COVID-19 outbreak. /Xinhua News Agency 2月3日，在与武汉的医院做好对接工作、递交了支援申请书后，她带着志愿者团队和500多斤的新鲜食材，驾车10余个小时抵达位于武汉光谷的门店。由于春节假期员工放假，刘仙带领大家七手八脚地开始消毒、整理厨房设备、准备盒饭。 2月4日，刘仙为一线医护人员送去了自己做的第一批免费盒饭。 On February 3, she arrived in Wuhan with her small team after over a 10-hour drive, bringing tons of meal ingredients to the city. 在短短40天的时间里，她为武汉医护人员送出2万余份免费盒饭，平均下来几乎每天都要做400到600份。而每一份盒饭，都是有质量、有温度的饭菜。她坚持每顿两荤一素，肉多管饱——“医生都是战士，我得想方设法给他们提供营养。” In 40 days, she cooked over 20,000 meals for medical workers in over 20 hospitals, up to 400 to 600 meals a day. Her meals were of high quality, with enough meat and vegetables, to ensure the nutrition the medics badly needed for their hard work.
Liu Xian was given the nickname "Raincoat Girl" since she always wore a raincoat to protect herself when delivering the meals to medical workers in the hospitals. /Sichuan Online 在武汉市内交通暂停的那段时间里，刘仙每天驾车奔走各家医院，为医护人员送上热乎的盒饭。刚开始，由于没有防护服，她只能穿着雨衣送餐。久而久之，医护人员便给她起了个亲切的名字——“雨衣妹妹”。 As the city's traffic was temporarily suspended, she decided to drive on her own to deliver meals to the hospitals. Since she always wore a raincoat during the delivery because she had no protective suits, she was given the nickname "Raincoat Girl." Her selfless actions have warmed the hearts of thousands of frontline medical workers as well as residents in the city. Netizens have left numerous encouraging messages to her and praised her heroic actions on Chinese social media. Liu Xian's meals were of high quality, with enough meat and vegetables, to ensure medics the nutrition and strength they needed. /Sichuan Online 除了免费为有需求的医院送餐外，刘仙还尽全力为医院筹措、代送一些民间捐来的防疫物资。据统计，在她的帮助下，累计募集发放了近350万元的医疗和生活物资。其中，她和她的团队就捐赠了超过100万元。 Apart from cooking and delivering meals, she helped raise funds and seek for resources to the local hospitals and donated the medical supplies herself. Her work resulted in medical resources and supplies worth over 3.5 million yuan (around 500,000 U.S. dollars), including one million yuan donated by her team. 随着疫情渐渐转好，3月12日，刘仙迎来了为武汉医护人员做饭送餐的最后一天。她在社交账号上写道：最后一餐，“关门大吉”。在结束了她的“战斗”后，她选择默默地离开武汉，一如当初她坚定地奔向这座城市——在写好了遗书之后。 Even though Liu didn't fear the coronavirus, she was concerned about her parents. She wrote down her will before leaving for Wuhan and sent a copy to her best friend and the original to her boss. "If I don't make it back, they would give it to my parents," she said. Liu Xian, the "Raincoat Girl" volunteer, believes that all she has done is worthy. /Xinhua News Agency 如今，“雨衣妹妹”刘仙已经平安回到家中并解除隔离，但她的公益之心并没有因此而停止。在成都隔离期间，她委托小伙伴带了大量物资去支援西昌消防人员；她还亲自上阵“直播带货”，助力化解湖北农产品滞销的困境；更以实际行动号召全国近百个门店“不拒绝湖北籍人士的求职，要优先录用”。 “做一次好事容易，难的是一直做好事”，刘仙说，“我想以此督促自己。” Now, Liu has safely returned to her hometown. But she didn't stop working. After learning that there was an overstock of agricultural products in Hubei Province due to the lockdown, she began to promote the sale of those products on her social media accounts in an effort to help Hubei's hard-hit farmers to recover. "Where there is a need for help, 'Raincoat Members' will be there to solve the problems," she said. “雨衣妹妹”无疑是千万中国青年抗疫的一个缩影。正如联合国秘书长青年特使贾亚特玛·维克拉玛纳亚克所说，包括“雨衣妹妹”在内的年轻一代的行动与奉献展现了超越时空的精神共鸣——
