This article analyses Chongqing Daily’s narratives about the front-line workers during the pandemic outbreak and their role in containing the Covid-19. These narratives foreground the disruption of filial connections and family life of those on the front lines as well as the physical toll their work takes on the bodies of these workers. By highlighting the suffering of front-line workers through familiar experiences relating to the body and family connections, this article argues that these narratives enabled inter-subjective connections between the front-line workers and the rest of the population and, therefore, helped foster a feeling of solidarity among the population in controlling the virus. The descriptions about the practices of front-line workers in the quarantined areas and their social moral meaning also functioned as action models and explanatory frameworks for the public to rationalize and assign meaning to the behaviour required of them during the lockdown period, and thus encouraged a shared commitment to combating the virus. Thus, the Chongqing Daily narratives strengthened the social cohesion in Chongqing and helped unite the population for a total war against the pandemic.

促进团结和鼓励共同承诺:重庆日报关于前线工人的叙述以及这些叙述在遏制 Covid-19 中的作用

本文分析重庆日报关于大流行爆发期间前线工作人员的叙述及其在遏制 Covid-19 中的作用。这些叙述突出了前线人员的孝道和家庭生活的中断,以及他们的工作对这些工人的身体造成的身体损失。本文通过与身体和家庭联系相关的熟悉经历来强调一线工人的痛苦,认为这些叙述促成了一线工人与其他人口之间的主体间联系,因此有助于促进民众在控制病毒方面的团结感。对隔离区一线工作者的做法及其社会道德意义的描述,也起到了行动模式和解释框架的作用,为公众合理化和赋予其在封锁期间所要求的行为赋予意义,从而鼓励共同致力于抗击病毒。就这样重庆日报的叙事增强了重庆的社会凝聚力,帮助人们团结起来,共同抗击疫情。
