"I filmed my own company, the restaurants near my company, the subway I used, the hotel where my employees were quarantined, the life of my children at home, and the hospital for infectious diseases that everyone cared about most ... there was no background music. I don't want to highlight anything. I hope to use the civilian perspective, the down-to-earth way to record the anti-virus life in Nanjing objectively and truly," he said.

Takeuchi said he has also made an English version of his first documentary, titled "Emergent report: A city sees no more new confirmed cases," in which he added such messages as "European friends, don't discriminate against Asian people who wear masks."

The director said he hopes that via these messages, "people in other countries can better understand China as well as the Asian people's efforts to fight the epidemic."

The English version has also turned out a hit, receiving support from TV stations in countries including South Korea, Russia and Italy, among others.

"Next step, I want to go to Wuhan, hoping to use my camera to record Wuhan after experiencing all the hardships and locking down, to present the real Wuhan to the world," he said.
