In the fight against the new coronavirus (新型冠状病毒), Chinese people have come up with many creative ways to solve different problems. They have shown their wisdom (智慧) during hard times.
Amazing China speed
In cities like Wuhan that have large numbers of infected (被感染的) people, more hospital beds are needed. The quickest way to solve this is to build makeshift (临时的) hospitals.
On Jan 23 and 25, the government decided to build Huoshenshan Hospital and Leishenshan Hospital in Wuhan. More than 4,000 workers worked day and night, and nearly 1,000 large machines and transportation helped with the project.
Within less than 15 days, the two hospitals were set up. They provide about 2,600 beds in total. The speed shocked many people around the world.
All for masks (口罩)
During that period, medical things such as masks are in great need. To increase production (生产), over 3,000 Chinese factories have transformed their production lines to make medical things. For example, a factory that used to make clothes spent 55 hours transforming their production lines and is now able to make 1,200 protective medical suits every day. Several car factories in China have also turned their production lines into mask-making lines.
Sharing workers
The idea of "sharing workers" became popular during the period. As most people were staying at home, many workers in restaurants, cinemas and shopping malls had no work and were not getting paid. However, online everyday and medical things continued to grow, making the workers from Dingdong, Freshhema and other online shops too busy.
As of Feb 10, over 1,800 workers had started their new short-term (短期的) jobs as delivery (送货) workers with Dingdong and Freshhema, Xinhua reported.
