"Wuhan, my river city, I love you and have something to ask for -- I want you to be safe and happy in the years to come." On March 13, a "love" letter to Wuhan penned by a Chongqing medic went viral online.
The writer, Wang Yue, is a doctor from the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University and a member of the eighth Chongqing medical team working in Wuhan to fight COVID-19. She got the idea to commemorate her team's 30th day at Wuhan No.1 Hospital, after arriving on Feb 13.
"I took off protective clothing after work. I let my tears flow quietly for a while when the water washed my face with red prints from the mask. I think you have seen me crying, because on my way back that day, there was sunshine on me all the time," Wang wrote.
Surprisingly, an anonymous Wuhan resident replied to Wang's letter later the same day.

The heartwarming reply reads: "Love is to give and to respond. To be sure, Wuhan loves you!"
"You said Wuhan is a heroic city, and the people of Wuhan are heroic people. That is also because we all grew up in a heroic country, protecting its people by locking down a city, and with great people like you sacrificing selflessly!"
"Forgive me for not having a better verse for you. But you should know in these 30 days, every story of you and your fellows fighting side by side, and every drop of sweat and tear you shed in Wuhan, are remembered in the history of the city."
Wang's team, with a total of 163 medical workers from the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University, is in charge of the tenth and eleventh intensive care units at Wuhan No.1 Hospital during the epidemic. In 30 days, the team has treated 83 patients and cured 67, the oldest being 91 years old.
