Recently, PTV began to broadcast the drama series “Return of Peace” produced by the “International Bridge Club”. Now that the Covid-19 epidemic is gradually becoming popular, it is also very good to show this drama series with the background of the closure of the Peace Hospital during the SARS period in 2003. Interesting timing, when I checked the movie, I found that there was another “epidemic” recently, which seems to be a story during the SARS period, but I didn’t watch it so I didn’t talk regarding it.
Recalling the SARS epidemic in Taiwan, I was studying in middle school. At that time, it seemed that the epidemic in the north was more serious. I was locked in the Tainan campus for almost 24 hours. The clips, but it makes my heart heavy.

Both my parents are medical practitioners, but they are not in the front line of clinical work, but serve as civil servants in health institutions. I often jokingly call my mother the Conan of the public health industry, because since my mother worked as a civil servant, public health officials, large and small, She’s been through all the incidents.
Kaohsiung’s ever-unsolved dengue fever is regarding to become a pandemic every few years. As far as I can remember, my mother was in charge of dengue fever at the Kaohsiung City Health Bureau. Sometimes I heard her say that she was kicked out once more that day, and she had to go with the police to force spraying.
Later, my mother was transferred to be the director of the disease management department. I remember that it was not long before I was transferred, and I immediately encountered the SARS epidemic. Because I was not at home most of the time at that time, and I didn’t have such convenient communication software as now, so I don’t know how my mother’s daily life is, I only know that my mother still has to go to work when I go home on weekends , and even 24 hours on-call following returning home from work, because there will be suspected cases at any time that need to be placed in the hospital, and the hospital will try its best to say that its beds are full.
Because she was afraid of bringing the virus home, she would take a shower in the office before going home, and sometimes she didn’t even dare to go home. Although she was not a front-line medical worker, her mother’s dedication to her work made her feel good during that time. It’s very hard. Most of the time when I go home every week is just me and my father, and my mother has to do more important things.
I have a vague impression of my mother since I was a child, because the country has borrowed from me for decades. Looking back now, my mother is not just my mother, or it should be said that she did not appear to me in the image of an ordinary mother. In the life of her, it was shown in front of me by living out the way of realizing greater ambitions. I used to not understand this, but when I realized that I had lived out her appearance, I realized that there is still a lot of love between us. With the fetters of love.
“Just don’t want it because you can’t ask for it” This is my past rebellion, and now I want to take the rest of my life in a loving way, in my own way.
