Responsibility,Trust and Love

This book features content from reports in forms of texts， photos and videos published by 35 foreign experts who decided to stay in or return to China after the outbreak of COVID-19. The group consists of media professionals from 25 countries who all work at China International Publishing Group （CIPG）.

Among them， some experienced Perus cholera outbreak in 1991， some witnessed Beijings SARS outbreak in 2003， and others experienced the 2011 earthquake and tsunami that struck northeastern Japan. Such experiences have given them a keen understanding of what can and cannot be changed by disasters.

As media professionals， they strive to relay the actual situation in China and share “what is really going on in China.” After the outbreak of COVID-19， these people opted to stay in China and some even returned from overseas. Such decisions were based on the idea that “China is where great achievements and miracles happen.”

Their choice to stay in China during its most difficult time demonstrated their deep respect and support for the country and its people.

This book documents something special： a deft fusion of responsibility， trust and love. All participating authors continue to contribute to the battle against the pandemic.
