Meet Zhang Yanjia – a community volunteer in Shijiazhuang City (the Chinese mainland’s Hebei Province) who’s redefining resilience during COVID-19. While distributing free anti-epidemic supplies door-to-door, he’s uncovered life’s hidden gems: 「Mom’s dumplings, Grandma’s pixelated smile on video calls, and even the community errand runner’s quick wave.」
🍃 Ordinary Magic
Zhang’s story isn’t just about masks and medicine. It’s a Gen-Z-friendly reminder that joy thrives in unexpected places. 「These 'small' moments? They’re our superpower,」 he says, describing how neighbors bond over shared challenges like Avengers assembling (minus the capes).
💪 Strength in Community
While the outbreak tests Shijiazhuang’s resolve, Zhang highlights grassroots heroes: 「Our neighborhood committee lead organizing night shifts, students translating health guidelines – everyone’s part of this squad.」 His TikTok-worthy take? Adversity doesn’t cancel life’s playlist – it remixes it.
