Volunteers proud to help on the front line

Like Cheng, 28-year-old Wuhan local Zhu Aobing also volunteered to help his home city. He signed up right away when he heard about the recruiting of volunteers for the vaccine.

A total of 108 Wuhan locals became the first batch of COVID-19 vaccine volunteers in March. They are healthy adults aged from 18 to 60 selected from thousands of people who applied. Zhu was one of them.

"Since the lockdown, I've always been thinking what I can do for my hometown during the pandemic, and I won't miss this volunteer opportunity," he says.

He told his family about this after he injected the vaccine. Luckily his family all supported him.

Zhu is a freshman at the College of Engineering Technology of Hubei University of Technology in Wuhan.
