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. 🌍✨
