Documentary on Wuhan's COVID-19 battle broadcast in Kazakhstan

The documentary Epicenter – 24 Hours in Wuhan, depicting the arduous battle against novel coronavirus in Central China's Hubei province, was translated into Kazakh language and aired on prime time TV on April 18.

Nussipzhanov Yertay, a Kazakhstan producer and translator, led his team to finish the final translated version within only four days, offering Kazakhstani people first-hand information on virus prevention.

Focusing on ordinary Chinese such as medical workers, deliverymen, and volunteers, the documentary celebrates the compassion and immense courage of people in the time of great challenge and difficulty.

"The rigorous precautionary measures adopted by Chinese doctors left a profound impression on me," Yertay said. "China's experience in anti-virus battle proves to be a great asset for other countries."

In the past few month, Sinologists, translators and publishers around the world have been introducing China's effective medical strategy to their own countries, via books, pamphlets and videos. Many, including Nussipzhanov Yertay, are members of the Culture Translation and Studies Support Network.
