We are quarantined from the virus but not from love

The COVID-19 epidemic affects the hearts of 1.4 billion people across the country. To resolutely win the battle against the virus, the alumni of Nanchang University have taken active actions and done their best to fight the pandemic.

After learning about the situation, the Alumni Association of Nanchang University in France immediately mobilized its members to take action and work together to overcome the difficulties with the fellowmen in the motherland and their hometown. There are many alumni in France who used their actions to support their motherland. The Alumni Association in France provided reliable bank accounts of organizations such as the All-China Federation of Returned Overseas Chinese and the Red Cross, mobilizing alumni to donate. Fang Gang, the executive president, organized members to find medical supplies in France and other European regions, and took the lead in purchasing scarce supplies for donations. Many alumni donated generously. As of 24:00 on February 14, members of the NCU Alumni Association in France had donated eight sets of medical robots and a large amount of medical supplies along with cash, with a total value of approximately RMB 10,204,647.

Due to the contribution made by the Alumni Association of Nanchang University in France, the Chinese Embassy in France spoke highly of the Association and published a news report regarding what it had done in fighting the virus on the journal website of the Ministry of Education.

Recently, a righteous act made by an alumnus of Nanchang University with the hashtag # Young Arab Man Crosses Desert to Seek Face Masks for China# has gone viral on the internet. To time, this topic has reached some 8.75 million views. Now let's take a look at this touching story.

AHMAD YASEEN FAYIZ DABABSEH, also known as MA Ding for his Chinese name, is a Jordanian student of class 2018 at Nanchang University. He graduated in July 2018 and moved back to his country, working as a doctor in As-SALT Hospital in Jordan.

After returning to his homeland, Ma Ding has always kept in touch with his Chinese friends. Ever since knowing the epidemic outbreak in China, he has been helping China seek masks.On Feb 6, he was able to send 10,000 masks to China after searching over all the local pharmacies in Jordan. On the outside of those boxes containing the masks, he wrote down his friend’s name with words in pinyin like”Missing you” and “Be Strong”, while “ Go China” was written on the inner side of all the boxes.

Once he helped Alibaba global direct sourcing platform find 2 million FFP3 medical masks (the highest European standard), which was the largest quantity of masks he was able to get. However, this was not something easy for MA Ding to achieve. At that time, he had to travel across the desert to locate a Czech factory, who finally came to agreement to cooperate with Alibaba after he spent days in communication.

MA Ding,far away in Jordan, said that he was delighted to make a small contribution to the battle against COVID-19 in China, that he firmly believed in China, his second hometown, everything would get better and that the Chinese people would go through this very difficult time.

Zhou Zengding, an alumnus of Class 3 Clinical Medicine enrolled in 2000, is a physician-in-charge working at Ruijin Hospital, the teaching hospital of Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine, a volunteer in the team of aiding Yunnan in 2019, and a father of two. After he left home for the battle against COVID-19, his first-born missed him and asked him when he would be back home. He told his two children that he would be back soon and then his one-year-old would say “Daddy, hug!” He told them that as long as they were growing up happily and healthily, he would be happy and reassured. In fact, Zhou Zengding signed up as soon as he learned that the hospital would recruit medical team members to assist Yunnan in 2019. "It feels like kind of a continuation of what I did in Yunnan in 2019. I think whether it is because of the profession as a doctor or the responsibility of a party member, as long as the nation needs me, I am sure to stand up and contribute my own strength in a timely manner. As a matter of fact, medical staff have a sense of family and patriotism. When our nation is in its difficult times , we will devote ourselves more. I think everyone feels the same way. "
