Overseas Chinese boost ties with a helping hand

Editor's Note: This news column showcases stories from around the world that bring a touch of positivity to the fight against the deadly coronavirus.

When people come together and work as a team they can make a difference in the battle against the coronavirus, said Liu Wengang, president of the UK Aberdeen Chinese Association. Since the outbreak of the virus earlier this year, his association has been engaged in that battle－first in China, then in the United Kingdom.

"Chinese people from all walks of life have stepped up to help both the efforts in China and in the UK," Liu said. "There are Chinese nurses and doctors working on the front line in our city. There are Chinese people working in other key roles such as in the supermarkets."
