Behind the Scenes of a City’s Survival
When Wuhan went into lockdown during COVID-19, a silent army of supermarket workers stepped up. With public transport halted, these everyday heroes pedaled bikes, stacked shelves, and delivered essentials to keep the city running. 'We couldn’t stop—people depended on us,' says Liu Guo, a sales manager at a local supermarket.
From Empty Shelves to Full Hearts
Teams worked 18-hour shifts to ensure affordable vegetables and daily supplies stayed stocked. Online orders skyrocketed, but staff adapted quickly, turning parking lots into staging areas for contactless pickups. Liu recalls, 'One customer cried when we delivered her groceries. That kept us going.'
A Lesson in Resilience
Despite risks, supermarkets became lifelines. 'Our uniforms felt like armor,' Liu laughs. The effort wasn’t just about food—it was about hope. And Wuhan’s resilience? A global blueprint for community spirit in crisis.
