A Chinese fresh graduate lauded the Pakistani people, doctors, nurses and volunteers who are currently engaged in fighting pandemic of coronavirus (COVID-19). She also donated masks, soaps and sanitizers to support the needy people of Pakistan in these hard times.

“My name is Jin Suo, a fresh graduate from North China University of Technology. I saw an article posted by Sami, a Pakistani student in Southeast University," she wrote in a letter. 

Through this letter Jin Suo disclosed that she had come to know about the current epidemic situation in Pakistan which she, very rightly, found as serious. 

“The people lack necessary protective equipment and daily necessities due to shortage. Enthusiastic friends, including myself, contacted Sami and sent some masks, antiseptics, wipes, sanitizers, alcohol sprays and soaps by fastest logistics route,” she stated, adding that Sami will send these items to Pakistan soon through Pakistan Embassy. 

"Dear friends! The Chinese people have experienced the peak of the epidemic situation last month, so I completely understand your suffering and condition now. The Chinese government has sent the medical experts to you while Chinese people are worried and concerned about your welfare and protection. We will never forget that Pakistan that raised medical supplies for China at the crucial time," Jin Suo recognized. 

She further stated that, as an ordinary citizen, she honestly did not have the ability to raise enough medical supplies for Pakistani people but she promised to share the message with more of her friends.  

“The limited supplies carry best wishes of Chinese people. From the experience of China, advising the Pakistani people to remain at home, open the windows often and go out less.

“Wash your hands frequently, make sure you eat well cooked food, and wear mask when going out to the crowded places, if possible, especially children and elderly people. Everything will be fine,” she prayed.

“In a word we will never forget the steady and everlasting friendship between China and Pakistan. We will do our best to support you. You have blessings from the bottom of our hearts. Protect and take care of yourself and let’s work together to fight this pandemic,” she concluded.
