After the city of Wuhan was locked down on January 23, all public transportation was suspended. Yet, amid the crisis, the need for medical staff to reach hospitals and for essential supplies to be delivered became more critical than ever. In response, thousands of residents stepped up, voluntarily forming groups to confront the challenges head-on.
These volunteer drivers became the lifeline of a city under siege by the outbreak. They tirelessly transported medical staff to and from overwhelmed hospitals, ensuring that doctors and nurses could continue their vital work on the frontlines. Other groups focused on delivering medical resources and essential supplies, navigating through the restricted city to meet the urgent needs of the community.
Working under relentless pressure and facing significant risks, these volunteers shared their daily experiences, shedding light on the realities of life in a city profoundly affected by the epidemic. Their stories highlight not only the logistical challenges but also the unwavering spirit and solidarity of the Wuhan community during a time of unprecedented hardship.
