On February 15, 2021, the song of "Happy birthday to you" echoed in the canteen of the Red Cross nursing home in Qitaihe City, Heilongjiang province, the farthest northern part of China.
Since the coronavirus pandemic rebounds in early 2020, the nursing home has been closed down for more than a month. The Christian fellow workers who had worked here even for the shortest time were away from home for more than 20 days; they also even spent the Spring Festival there.
The day of February 15 was Sister Kou's 68th birthday, the chef at the nursing home canteen. The Christian colleagues, who had worked for a long time in a closed environment, organized a specific birthday party for the chef. Giving the hard-working sister chef Kou unique love for the particular moment and special area
They were all sitting around Chef Kou at the feast, hugging her, clapping their hands, and singing a birthday song. At that time, she was too happy to close her mouth. Christian fellow workers took a group of photos, including a picture of the "family."
Almost all Christian fellow workers in the nursing home were sisters. They prayed every day, counting the grace and time of the Lord. All of them remembered how many days they worked, looking forward to the early end of the pandemic then they could go home as soon as possible to met their family.

七台河红十字养老院感人的庆生
2021年2月15日，“祝你生日快乐”的歌声悠扬响在 的歌声悠扬响在祖国北疆黑龙江省 七台河市的红十字会养老院的食堂
疫情以来，养老院按照防疫要求被封闭已经一个多月了，在这里工作最短时间的同工也二十多天没有回家，。
2月15日，是姊妹的68岁生日。这一天， 一直处在被封闭环境中工作的
同工们为大厨举行了一场特殊的生日Party。特殊的时期、特殊的地点，把特殊的爱送给辛苦的寇大厨姊妹。
在丰盛的筵席上，大家围绕在寇大厨姊妹的身边，和她拥抱，拍手为她唱起生日祝福歌，大厨乐的合不拢嘴，合影、留念，拍下“全家福”，在北国之春中充满了喜乐。
养老院服务的同工们几乎全部是姊妹。她们每天在祈祷数算主的恩典，也数算着时间，
她们都清清楚楚地记着自己在这里连续工作多少天了，期盼疫情早日结束，回到家中与亲人团聚。
