It was midnight. Zhang Yong's phone, how-ever, was still busy. The messages were all from food suppliers (供应商). The man carefully read them. He was trying to get enough food for the people in his neighborhood.
Shanghai was suffering from(遭受) the serious COVID-19. Since mid-March, Zhang kept volunteering in his neighborhood to help people out. After days of lockdown, many families began to run out of food. It was hard for them to order food online as there were few drivers. Group buying worked better. But it needed a coordinator(统筹者). As the youngest among all the volunteers in the neighborhood, Zhang decided to work as the role.
He began by ordering 60 boxes of milk for his neighborhood. After this success, more and more people joined his WeChat group. It was a hard work. ▲ Sometimes, some members didn't pay on time. Zhang often couldn't go to bed until 2 a. m. and he had to get up at 6 a. m. to order things. However, he felt happy to be able to help others.
You are lucky if you've been well fed in the past several weeks. But you must not forget all the hard work behind the food.
