Y
our name is Li*
our full name is Li Wenliang
A fated name of tragic separation
Me at the end of a white coat’s
professional journey
And you still full of vigor at the start of
your career
We don’t know each other
Never aware of each other’s identities
Thousands of miles are lying between us
This is the first time and also the last time
That I saw your face
Even that we are still separated by a face
mask
A mask separating
Well being from illness
And life from death
However, we are close to each other
Through both of us raising raising our
arms
To recite the Hippocratic oath:
That in full conscience
And within our capabilities to cure all
ailments
To alleviate the suffering of those in
anguish
And to offer consolations for those in
distress
But there were people who in the name
Of the responsible authorities
Interpreted the warnings of a coming
disaster
As spreading fallacious rumors
They tried to suppress and to censor
The voices of conscience!
