When COVID-19 lockdowns separated Lucy, a Beijing-based filmmaker, from her parents in Wuhan, they turned their isolation into creativity. For Lunar New Year’s Eve, Lucy and her mom filmed their first-ever vlog—a heartfelt glimpse into how families stayed connected despite the pandemic’s challenges.
🎥 ‘My mom had never held a selfie stick before!’ Lucy laughs. The vlog captures cozy homemade dumplings, virtual toasts over video calls, and playful banter between mother and daughter. It’s a touching reminder of resilience through tech—and how ordinary moments became extraordinary during lockdown.
🌺 The video, now shared widely online, resonates with millions who faced similar separations. ‘It wasn’t about perfect editing,’ Lucy says. ‘It was about feeling together, even when we couldn’t be.’
