Si Daoyuan, 37, is an internist in the China-Japan Union Hospital of Jilin University. He arrived in Tonghua in January with a medical support team dispatched from his hospital to fight against COVID-19, and now works in the ICU of the Tonghua Central Hospital. He chose to work in the front line of the COVID-19 epidemic control during this Spring Festival with a strong faith that a reunion with family will not be far away. As a part of the preventative measures against COVID-19, China has encouraged people to stay locally for the Chinese New Year. Many Chinese chose not to go back to their hometowns for family gatherings, opting instead to stay where they were for the most important holiday of the year. Xinhua reporters helped those who didn't go back to their hometowns "reunite" with their families in pictures. [Xinhua]
