Volunteers proud to help on the front line
Younger generation willingly steps up and fulfills their duties
The Wuhan Institute of Shipbuilding Technology in Hubei province was used as a quarantine site from Feb 8 to March 28, hosting 1,962 people in total. Cheng Shixiong, 21, a volunteer, didn't take a single day off when helping to run the site.
On the morning of March 28, the last batch of recovered COVID-19 patients completed their quarantine and left. "When I saw their smiles, I felt like all our efforts were worthwhile," Cheng says.
President Xi Jinping wrote a reply letter to 34 Party members from Peking University's medical team born in the 1990s who were sent to Hubei province, the former epicenter of the viral outbreak in China, on March 15.
He praised the 1990s generation for their dedication in the fight against the COVID-19, saying that they demonstrated by their actions that the Chinese youth of the new era can be entrusted with great missions.
