When Kaili tested positive for COVID-19 in Shanghai, she never imagined her quarantine journey would turn into a viral story of hope. 🦠 As an asymptomatic patient, she spent 16 days at the temporary hospital in the Shanghai New International Expo Center—a sprawling facility transformed into a lifeline for thousands. But instead of dwelling on fear, Kaili grabbed her phone and started documenting her daily life. 📱✨
From sunrise yoga sessions 🧘♀️ to late-night chats with nurses, her videos and posts revealed a side of pandemic life rarely seen: healthcare workers dancing to lift spirits, patients sharing snacks across beds, and even impromptu karaoke nights. 🎤 'I wanted to show that solidarity and humor can thrive even here,' Kaili shared.
Her transparent take on quarantine logistics—like meal routines 🍱 and rapid testing—debunked myths about China’s temporary facilities. 'We had Wi-Fi, charging stations, and med checks every 2 hours,' she noted. Her message to the world? 'Don’t panic. Trust the process, and remember—we’re all in this together.' 🌏💪
