Medical staff draw picture of hope at Wuhan hospital
DALIAN－Lovely cartoon pictures drawn on the walls of a ward in a makeshift hospital in Wuhan have proved popular online.
Oysters and hot dry noodles, as well as the Dalian Railway Station and Wuhan's Yellow Crane Tower are among the pictures representing the two Chinese cities.
Liu Yu, a nurse at Leishenshan Hospital in Wuhan, is one of the artists of the more than 30 murals adorning its walls. She is also one of the 500 medical personnel sent to Wuhan, the city at the epicenter of the novel coronavirus epidemic, from Dalian on Feb 8 to aid local colleagues in treating patients and containing the spread of the virus.
"I started to draw a cartoon on the corridor wall of ward A2 in Leishenshan. That helped relieve my pressure after a day's work," says the nurse. "Colleagues and patients started coming to see the pictures. I never expected them to become so popular."
