"I want to fight with Wuhan, side by side, as its in trouble. Stay strong, Wuhan!" On January 31st, a media worker received the message from a WeChat friend named Jio bi (as per), a Bangladeshi friend currently staying in Wuhan.
Jio bi is a graduate student majoring in vehicle engineering of Wuhan University of Technology who came to Wuhan in September 2018. He said, "I like the city a lot, people here very hospitable to me."
Jio bi said many of his Chinese and foreign friends are staying in Wuhan currently.
"Some of them don't dare to go out for grocery shopping. So, I help them with it sometimes. I also encourage them from time to time. If I tell them I am leaving Wuhan at this moment, they will probably feel very lost. "
Thus, Jio bi decided to stay, like the other two Bangladeshis. "If I'm really so unlucky to get infected, it is not the end of the world," he said, " I will follow the doctor's advice and strive to fight against the virus. "
At the end of last month, when being outside shopping, Jio bi felt sad to see the streets which used to be busy are now empty. "My Wuhan is almost empty," he said, "Wuhan, recover soon! "
Now, there are many foreign students like Jio bi staying in Wuhan. After all, it is a famous educational city with 1.2 million college students. According to Xinhuanet on February 1st, many foreign students chose to stay in Wuhan during the outbreak of the new coronavirus.
