The screen shot is group chat history on the app WeChat, between Chinese students who live in an apartment community in Santa Ana. One student is sharing his own experience with the others in the same apartment that he got attacked in the elevator by two white men. The two white men was very unhappy to be in the same elevator with the young Chinese man and said to him that Chinese people brought the corona virus to the US and they asked him to leave the US. The other students in the group chat supported him and said if something like this happen again he should ask for help in the group chat.

I was very mad when I heard the Chinese young man's story. Why should he treated in horrible way when he has done nothing wrong, just because Trump said COVID-19 came from China? I think when facing a hard time like this, we, as humans, should stand up together and to defeat the virus together, instead of blame one another.
Who originally created this object? (If you created this object, such as photo, then put "self" here.)
