With COVID-19 raging across the world these days, all countries are fighting it like a war, which tends to leave a significant presence in human history and be remembered for generations. Meanwhile, the warmth and compassion people shared in this tough time will stay in our memory in the years to come. Part I --The "China Speed" If you asked me before the epidemic that how long it takes to build a hospital with 1,000 beds? I would say: “Probably a long time! A year? Two years?...” But now, I will say: "Just 10 days!"

In Wuhan, Hubei Province, Huoshenshan Hospital stood upright from the ground within just 10 days, boasting 1,000 beds as well as a variety of equipment such as ventilation system, negative pressure system, emergency rooms, sewage treatment, etc., and could accommodate 2,000 medical personnel. What's behind this“China Speed”is not just infrastructure prowess, but someone who are willing to make sacrifices for the greater good. Part II --Heroes in Harm's Way During the epidemic, 42,000 health care workers from all over China fought the virus on the front lines at a time when they were most needed. More than 3,000 health care workers in Wuhan were infected, and some of them even died when working on the front lines. Facing the shortage of medical supplies, they used diapers and some girls even cut off their hair. The scenes of pressure marks on their faces due to wearing masks for too long and their exhaustion are still leaping before our eyes today~

Besides China, health care workers around the world demonstrated the benevolence of doctors with their own actions. More than 7,000 retired health care workers in Quebec, Canada, have volunteered to go back to the front lines to help their local health system in fighting the virus amid tight health care resources. Some of them even asked for no pay and committed time and expertise in saving lives. The situation would have been worse without these fearless health care workers. We are so grateful to all of them! Thank you for fighting for us, and thank you for fighting for the world! Part III -- Fight As One for A Shared Future Since the outbreak of COVID-19 in China, more than 70 countries and 9 international organizations have donated protective equipment such as masks, protective suits to China. Among them are developed countries, developing countries and even some poor countries. Iran's foreign minister tweeted in Chinese, quoting the words "Fear no cloaks to wear? Mine can be shared with you!" from Qin Style: No Clothes (The Book of Songs), saying "Iran always stands with China".

Some say the epidemic can be currently described as "the first half is in China, and the second half goes to the rest of the world," and that China, which has seen a gradual recovery, is giving back to the world. 》Medical team from The Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University went to Iraq for medical support; 》Expert group from Shanghai went to Iran for medical assistance; 》Medical team from The Second Affiliated Hospital of Suzhou University assisted Pakistan in containing the virus; 》Italy: Only China responded to our request. On March 11, China provided 100,000 pieces of surgical N95 masks and 20,000 sets of protective suits as well as 50,000 nucleic acid reagents to Italy. At the same time, the expert team of the Red Cross Society of China volunteered to fly to Italy with 31 tons of medical supplies.

La Repubblica, an Italian newspaper, replaced the home page of its Facebook and Twitter accounts with a heart-warming image featured with Chinese health care workers, and reported later that China had sent a team of medical experts to Italy to help fight the epidemic. 》Spain: Mutual understanding and support.

Spain also sought medical supplies and technical assistance from China on March 15. Wang Yi, State Councilor and Foreign Minister of China, said that China and Spain have maintained a long-time friendship and have always understood each other. China will not forget Spain's valuable understanding and support for China's fight against the epidemic. China has decided to provide a batch of medical supplies as per request from Spain, and is willing to strengthen experience exchange, coordinate in holding video conferences between experts of the two countries, and consider sending medical specialists as needed. Spanish netizens also launched a "Thank China" event on Twitter. 》Serbia: We count on China for fighting the virus.

When Serbia implemented a series of restrictive measures to contain the epidemic, including entry bans for foreigners, Vučić stressed that his country would always stay open for Chinese health care workers, because "with difficulties emerging, we can't count on the EU, and China is the only one who will help Serbia". Up to now, China has shared a series of technical documents such as epidemic prevention and treatment regimes with over 100 countries as well as more than 10 international and regional organizations. Disasters are often seen as the test stone of human nature, but they can also offer a glimpse of how countries help each other. Humanitarian aid sees no borders. No matter whether it is to support with medical supplies or send professional medical teams overseas, China is actively undertaking its international responsibilities and sharing a common destiny with other countries.

During the epidemic, people quoted from poems to express their emotions: “Though miles apart, we are under the same sky.” “Like the mountain range that stretches before you and me, let's share the same trials and hardships together.” And the cheering up of“Keep fighting, China! Keep fighting, Wuhan.”was everywhere on social media. As an old Chinese saying goes: You throw a peach to me, I give you a white jade for friendship. In the face of COVID-19, people worldwide gradually recognize that humans are in the community of a shared future. Keep fighting, all of us! Keep fighting, all heroes combating the virus on the front lines! You can leave a comment or make a post in our BBS.
