Driver, engineer, fishmonger - it’s hard to imagine any connection between these three occupations, but Yang Jie, a young man from east China’s Anhui Province, has strung them together. With what he has achieved in the battle against the COVID-19 epidemic, Yang has proved the old saying that “nothing is impossible to a willing heart.”
At 8:00 p.m. on January 24, the Chinese Lunar New Year’s Eve, Yang saw a message requesting help to transport a batch of medical equipment from Nanjing in Jiangsu Province to Huoshenshan Hospital in Wuhan, Hubei Province. But due to the difficulty in finding vehicles at such a special time, the transportation could not be arranged easliy. “By around midnight, I still didn’t see any responses to the request, so I decided to give it a try,” Yang said.
