When a Hainan-based vlogger returned home for Spring Festival during the COVID-19 outbreak, she launched an unexpected campaign: convincing her family to wear masks. 😷 What started as a personal mission turned into a generational showdown over health, tradition, and social responsibility.
🌺 'My grandparents thought I was being dramatic,' she shared. 'But older relatives often take risks believing they’ve survived worse. I wanted to protect them—and our community.'
Armed with WHO guidelines and TikTok tutorials, she faced resistance: 'Aunties said masks ruined reunion photos 🧧, uncles called it government paranoia.' Undeterred, she turned family dinners into impromptu safety workshops—using humor and persistence to normalize mask-wearing.
The breakthrough came when her teenage cousins joined the cause, creating viral memes comparing maskless elders to 'unseasoned dumplings.' 🥟 By Lunar New Year's Eve, even skeptical relatives relented—proving youth-led advocacy can bridge tradition and modern health practices.
