A Letter from Wuhan (from a child)

What sort of object is this: text story, photograph, video, audio interview, screenshot, drawing, meme, etc.?

It's a video link of sand painting art. I found it in the hot Chinese social media DouYin, same boss company as TikTok.

Tell us a story; share your experience. Describe what the object or story you've uploaded says about the pandemic, and/or why what you've submitted is important to you.

The video tells the story of how a Wuhan child thinks about what's going on with the Coronavirus pandemic. His father is a policeman and his mother is a doctor. His grandparents told him there is a monster called Coronavirus and his parents are fighting it. There is so much news about COVID-19, but this video is important because it shows a child's perspective of what his parents are doing and how they are saving other people.

Use one-word hashtags (separated by commas) to describe your story. For example: Where did it originate? How does this object make you feel? How does this object relate to the pandemic?
