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.
