For Syrian artist Zaynab Ali, living in China over the past three years has been an eye-opening experience. As the country transitions COVID-19 management from Class A to B this January, Ali—who calls Nanjing home—shared heartfelt insights about China’s pandemic response. 🌏💉
\"China put lives above everything,\" said Ali, who’s lived in the country for seven years. Her viral video diary highlights daily life as a foreigner in China, challenging narratives often seen in Western media. \"I want to show something real—the efforts here saved countless families,\" she added, praising rapid testing systems and medical support during outbreaks.
With cities now resuming normal activities, Ali’s story reflects a broader shift: prioritizing health without losing sight of community. For young global citizens, her perspective offers a fresh look at balancing safety and resilience. ✨
