Over 100 young voices from 21 countries joined forces in a powerful musical tribute to Wuhan, the city at the heart of the early COVID-19 pandemic. Their collaborative track, \"Stand Strong Wuhan,\" blends languages and cultures into a rallying cry of solidarity, with lyrics declaring: \"No matter where you’re from, what tongue you speak—we’re one family.\"
The project, organized via social media by youth activists, features participants from Brazil to Japan recording verses remotely. A video montage shows singers holding handwritten signs like \"You’re Not Alone\" in Mandarin, Spanish, and Arabic.
\"Music crosses borders better than any speech,\" said Malaysian participant Li Jia, 24. The song’s chorus—\"Hand in hand, we rise again\"—has trended on Douyin (China’s TikTok) with over 2 million uses of the hashtag #StandStrongWuhan.
