On September 11, 1958, Mum gave birth to Richard. After she brought him home from hospital, she put him in my lap, saying, “I promised you a gift and here it is.” What an honor! I was four years old a month earlier and none of my friends had such a baby doll of their own. I played with it day and night. I sang to it. I told it stories, told it over and over how much I loved it!

One morning, however, I found its bed empty. My doll was gone! I cried for it. Mum was sad and told me that the poor little thing had been sent to a hospital. It had a fever. For several days, I heard mum and Dad whispering such words as “hopeless”, “pitiful”, and “dying”, which sounded unlucky.

Christmas was coming. “Sally, don’t expect any presents this year.” Dad said, pointing at the socks I hung in the living room. I’d never seen him cry before.

The phone rang early on Christmas morning. Dad jumped out of bed to answer it. From my bedroom I heard him say, “What? he’s all right?” He hung up and shouted upstairs. “The hospital said we can bring Richard home!”

“Thank god!” I heard Mum cry.

From the upstairs window, I watched my parents rush out to the car. I had never seen them so happy. And I was also full of joy. What a wonderful day! My baby doll would be home. I ran downstairs. My socks still hung there. But I knew they were not empty: They were filled with love!

Many places in China began a first- level emergency (突发事件) response to the virus in mid-January, calling for people to stay at home. Following these rules, most people gave up family gatherings during the Spring Festival and canceled any festive celebrations.

It’s the quietest Chinese New Year I’ve ever had,” Xin Jingrong, a 14-year-old student from Nanning, Guangxi said. For the first time in years, Xin’s grandmother had to cancel her trip to Nanning and stay alone in her hometown.

The control measures not only separate many families, but also make daily life inconvenient. Many shops are closed, delivery services are slow, and wearing masks in public has become a must. Although it is inconvenient, people are still showing their understanding and cooperation (合作).

Tong Zexi, a 15-year-old student from Harbin, has not gone out in more than 20 days. “I know I need to protect myself and cause no trouble. In this critical (关键的) tit in time, when one gets sick, many others could be affected.”

Apart from simply following the rules, some people have done amazing things to help fight the outbreak.

On Feb 3, Zhao Junyan, a Junior 2 student from Shanghai, brought 15,000 masks from Indonesia back to China. People’s Daily reported. Zhao, while traveling in Jakarta, collected the masks with his uncle, who works in the city. The 15-year-old donated (捐赠) all of the masks to Cangnan, Zhejiang, his hometown.

“When a country is in trouble, everyone is responsible to help,” Zhao said to the media. “What I have done is what an ordinary Chinese person can possibly do.”

One Friday, 12-year-old Janet was going to stay all night with her friend Amy. They had to walk by Dawson’s house on the way to Amy’s house. Like most of the children, Janet was scared of the old man because of the stories she’d heard about him.

Amy said that Mr. Dawson wouldn’t hurt anyone. Still, Janet was growing more nervous with each step closer to the old man’s house. When they got close enough, Dawson looked up with his usual frown (皱眉), but when he saw it was Amy, a big smile changed his whole face as he said, “Hello, Miss Amy. I see you’ve got a little friend with you today.”

Amy smiled back and told him Janet was staying overnight and they were going to listen to music and play games. Dawson told them that sounded fun, and offered them each a fresh picked apple off his tree.

As they walked on, Janet asked Amy, “Everyone says he’s the meanest man in town. Why was he so nice to us?”

Amy explained that when she first started walking past his house, he wasn’t very friendly and she was afraid of him, but she always smiled at him. It took a while, but one day he half smiled back at her.

After some more time, he started smiling real smiles and then started talking to her. Just a “Hello” at first, then more. She said he always offers her an apple now, and is always very kind.
