Without the usually noisy and crowded streets, Wuhan has become a little strange. The city has fallen ill. It is somewhat desolate. Fortunately, the “angels in white,” fighting an uphill battle, are saving lives and healing the wounded. Medical staff from all over the country have arrived to lend their strength to the city.

From our frontline reporters:

Xu Xun: At this crucial point in the anti-epidemic fight, frontline medical staff are enduring high-intensity work and pressure. But after a full day of interviews, I found that they are optimistic amidst the tense work. They have shown the confidence to win.
