"We took more than 3 hours to move all 1,462 boxes of mineral water. Without the firemen's help, we couldn't have finished it," Cheng says. "A single person's strength is limited, but we know the whole country is helping us."

Cheng's mother, who was diagnosed with bladder cancer last year, didn't agree with Cheng's decision on volunteering, as there was a risk that he might be infected. Gradually Cheng persuaded his mother.

"The pandemic also reminds me how precious health and family ties are," he says.

He didn't leave until April 8, when the site was officially returned to the institute.

"We had to clean and disinfect the whole campus to make sure it's the same as before it was used as a quarantine site," Cheng says.

Cheng was a volunteer for the Military World Games held in Wuhan last October. He still remembers witnessing Wuhan getting better and better to prepare for the event and it was the first time he saw his hometown under the world's spotlight.

"I've experienced the highlight of Wuhan, and now when my hometown touched a low point, I want to get through the difficulty together with the city," Cheng says.
