In April 2022, Shanghai faced a daunting COVID-19 wave with over 1,000 confirmed cases and 22,000 asymptomatic infections reported in a single day. Amid the crisis, volunteers like Ruyou stepped up to support the city’s temporary hospitals—including one built at the China Flower Expo park in Chongming District. 📈🏥
Through Ruyou’s lens, we see the rapid setup of medical facilities, from rows of blue-tented beds to sanitized workstations. Volunteers suited up in full PPE, distributing meals and coordinating logistics. 💙 Despite the urgency, Ruyou highlights the community spirit: 'Everyone worked together—doctors, nurses, and volunteers. It felt like we were part of something bigger.'
Shanghai’s Flower Expo park, once a vibrant cultural hub, transformed into a lifeline for patients. 🌸→🏥 The temporary hospital prioritized isolating asymptomatic carriers to slow the spread, reflecting China’s 'dynamic zero-COVID' strategy at the time.
Ruyou’s story reminds us of the unsung heroes behind pandemic responses—ordinary people doing extraordinary things. 👩⚕️✨
