第4章 一只口罩的旅行记
“医生同志，这是我最后的十只口罩了，我自己没舍得用，都寄给您了，感谢你们豁出命来救病人。”我和几个同伴夹着这张写了字的纸条，被装进外卖袋子里，送到了一家大医院里。
一个明显劳累过度，黑眼圈赛熊猫，眼睛里还布满血丝的医生取走了这份外卖。他打开外卖，看到我们的那一刻，泪水悄无声息地顺着脸颊流了下来。
这个医生，成了我的第四任主人。
我是一只口罩，一只日本静冈县生产的口罩。和其他成千上万的口罩一样，成型以后就安安静静地躺在仓库里，等待发往各地。
突然有一天，仓库来了好多人，不停地搬走我的兄弟们。
不久我就知道了，我们要坐飞机，被派到很远很远的一个地方，那个地方叫中国。听仓库的叔叔说，有一种病毒侵犯了人类，中国和日本都受到了侵犯，但是在这个时间点上，中国更困难一点，所以我们的主人决定让我们漂洋过海，去帮助中国的朋友们。
一向胆小的我，就这样和其他五万个口罩兄弟姐妹一起，被捐赠给了中国。
我的旅程就此开始了。
一路上，我都很慌张，这一次，怕是有去无回了吧？听他们说，我们要去的地方叫武汉，是个超大的城市。我透过集装箱的缝隙使劲往外看，为什么街道上一个人也没有呢？冷冷清清的，整个城市被一种说不上来的悲伤所覆盖。
我被送到了一个很普通的小区里，在排队来领口罩的人群的眼神中，我看到了一种叫作希望的东西。他们看我的眼神，就像是在沙漠里被困数日的人，忽然找到了水一样。
我和九个同伴被一个老奶奶领回了家，老奶奶看起来至少得有八十岁了。一到家，她就把我们放在了一个很高很高的台子上，自言自语：“宝贝疙瘩可不能受潮！你们呀，现在就是我的救命稻草。”奶奶看我们的眼神，分明就是在看一个个宝物。“我可不能得病，我还得帮忙带小孙子呢！我家孙子才三岁，我太想他了。”奶奶这几天一直念叨着，甚至哪里都不敢去。
可是才过四五天，老奶奶就被传染了病毒。我和昨天陪奶奶的同伴大吵了一顿，指责他们没有保护好奶奶，让奶奶生了病。后来我才知道，病毒最容易侵犯老年人。奶奶去医院后就再也没有回来，她的家人抹着眼泪收拾奶奶的东西时，看到了躺在高台上的我们，马上把我和同伴送到了当地警察局，因为新闻报道了，警察叔叔也大量缺少口罩。
和我一起的同伴只剩六个了，我们都发誓，要保护好警察叔叔。
在警察局还没过一天，就有一个因为没有口罩，给自己脑袋上套个塑料袋的外卖员来送外卖了。漂亮的警察姐姐觉得他好可怜，连忙把一袋子七个口罩都递给了外卖员——当然就是我们几个。那外卖员也没拒绝，拿了口罩就跑。我心里生气极了，一下子就特别讨厌这个外卖小哥，都什么时候了，还和人民警察抢口罩。
可这种想法在下一秒就烟消云散了。外卖小哥跑到一个安静的角落，小心翼翼地把兜里拿纸包着的三只口罩和我们七个一起装进了一个外卖袋子里，并留了一张纸条：“医生同志，这是我最后的十只口罩了，我自己没舍得用，都寄给您了，感谢你们豁出命来救病人。”
这时我才明白，他不是不戴口罩，只是想攒着给医生，从警察姐姐手里拿口罩也是为了给更需要的人。
就这样，我被分给了医护人员们。我很骄傲，成了一线医生的保护神。
我不再胆小，不再害怕，因为一圈旅程让我明白了，这个世界上，美好就在身边。
The journey of a mask
"Dear doctor,those are my last ten masks. I have saved them and sent them to you. Thank you for saving our lives despite all the dangers!" My companions and I were put with this note into a food take-out bag ordered by a doctor from a large hospital.
An apparently overworked doctor,with panda-like dark circles and bloodshot eyes,took the food bag away. He opened it and saw his gifts,with tears rolling quietly down the cheek.
The doctor became my fourth master.
I am a mask manufactured in Shizuoka,Japan. Like thousands of other masks,I lay quietly in the warehouse after I went out of the factory,waiting to be sent everywhere.
One day,many people came here and moved us away.
Soon I knew that we would fly to a far-away place called China. The uncle who worked in the warehouse said there was a severe virus in both China and Japan. But for the time being,the situation in China was harsher,so our master decided to let us help the Chinese friends.
I,who had always been timid,was donated to China with 50,000 of my companions.
My journey began.
Along the way,I was very flustered. I thought we would never return. I heard from them that our destination was called Wuhan,a megacity. I looked out through the cracks in the container,wondering why there was no one on the street. The whole city was covered in unspeakable sadness.
I was sent to an ordinary neighborhood. In the eyes of the crowd in line to get the mask,I saw something called hope. They looked at me like a man trapped in the desert for days when he suddenly found water.
Nine of my companions and I were brought home by an old lady who seemed at least eighty years old. As soon as she got home,she put us on a very high platform and said to herself,"Oh,you are my treasures. You can't get damp. You are gonna be my lifesaver!" The way that grandma looked at us was like looking at treasures. "I can't get sick,and I have to care for my little grandson! He's only three years old. I miss him so much. " The grandma had been talking to us these days and dared not go anywhere.
But only about five days later,the grandma was infected with the COVID-19 virus. I yelled at my companion who was with grandma yesterday,for it failed to protect her. Later I learned that the elderly were most vulnerable to the virus. Grandma went to the hospital and never came back. When her family packed grandma's stuff,they saw us lying on the platform,and immediately sent us to the local police station because the news reported that the policemen were also in urgent need of masks.
There were only six of my companions left,and we all swore to protect the police.
On the first day at the police station,there was a delivery man who put a plastic bag on his head because he didn't have a mask. The beautiful policewoman handed a pack of seven masks to him- of course that was us. The delivery man didn't refuse. He just took the masks and ran away. I was so annoyed at him for taking the masks away from the police even in this emergency.
But my anger was suddenly dispelled when the delivery man ran to a quiet corner,carefully packing us with three masks wrapped in paper,into a take-out bag. He left a note," Dear doctor,those are my last ten masks. I have saved them and sent them to you. Thank you for saving our lives despite all the dangers!"
Then I realized that he was just trying to save the masks for the Doctor. He took us away from the police just because he also wanted to help those in more urgent need.
That was my extraordinary journey of being given to the medical workers. But I was proud to be the guardian of them!
I was no longer timid or afraid because that journey let me understand that goodwill was everywhere around me.
写作历程
二〇二〇年疫情，老师经常让我们写关于疫情的作文，我也写过“最美逆行者”等歌颂医护人员的作文，但是大部分同学也差不多都是这样写的，我一直希望能够写出来一篇与众不同的作文。有一天上学路上给自己戴口罩的时候，我突然想能不能以口罩为主人公写一篇作文。正当我苦思冥想时，正好有新闻讲日本援助我们口罩，我便以此为主题——这只口罩从日本而来，展示了国家与国家之间的友谊，然后再到不同年龄段、不同职业的人的手中，展示了人与人之间的关爱。
写出来之后，大家都说挺感动。这篇作文也得到了老师的表扬，给我的启发就是，写作文，审题一定要与众不同，一定要逆向思考，一定要找到别人想不到的点去写，才能写出一篇让人眼前一亮的文章。
