Hoping they reunite soon

It must have been unimaginably difficult for both Ms Zhang and her daughter to say goodbye.

In difficult times like this, people often stay with their family. We cannot fathom how much Ms Zhang must be sacrificing to go to Wuhan to treat patients.

MS News commends all the medical professionals worldwide who are fighting the coronavirus, especially those in Wuhan.

We, too, hope that the battle against the ‘monster’ soon comes to a victorious end.
