Viral Videos with Ryan: Vegetable donations for Wuhan across China

James Ryan Nolton is a foreign language teacher from the United States who has lived in China for more than three years. He came to visit friends during Spring Festival and stayed in Beijing during the novel coronavirus outbreak.

Ryan shares how China has used its "vegetable basket" project to split its vegetable production up into six different regions, according to climate and landscape. Each region focuses on growing a different vegetable. Since the outbreak, these regions have continually donated vegetables to Hubei province in order to ensure the daily needs of the people there.

Ryan's parents in the United States were very worried about his safety. While chatting with his parents through video, Ryan found they had many misunderstandings about the epidemic. They also don't know much about China's current situation.

In order to reassure relatives and friends in faraway places, Ryan decided to shoot a short video by himself, record the people's living conditions during the epidemic and show the real situation he saw and felt. It also allows more netizens to make a rational and scientific judgment on the epidemic.
