Wuhan girl Abu finally hopes that she will “graduate” soon.
At 6 pm on March 1, Abu posted the 67th video of the month on her Little Red Book homepage. She moved her eyes closer to the camera and wanted everyone to see the tears swirling around her eyes.
“My result is negative. I have been negative twice in a row.”

This is the fifth time Abu has done a nucleic acid test that she calls a college entrance examination. The first three results are positive, which means she has to “re-read again”; two consecutive negatives indicate that the day she left graduation—discharged from hospital, quarantined for two weeks, and then returned home—is getting closer.
What happened in the past month has compared the small winds and waves that Abu has experienced in the past 29 years.
She has never left home alone for so long, leaving her three-year-old daughter, and, nearing life and death.
Although Wuhan closed the city on the 29th day of the first month of the lunar month, the high-speed city came to a sudden brake, but until the end of January, the Abu family still thought that it would not be possible to “hit the ball.”
At the end of January, the mother-in-law and her who lived together had symptoms of nasal congestion, sore throat, and sweating. A subsequent call pushed the whole family into fear: three brand-name friends playing mahjong together in mid-January were diagnosed with the new crown virus.
A few days later, her mother-in-law was diagnosed and Abu was diagnosed. Because the test results showed that it was “mild, and was already moving towards cure,” Abu entered the Wuhan Living Room Fangcai Hospital on February 8.
After being separated from her family, Abu, who used to watch Vlog in Xiaohongshu, also started to post videos on it, recording the days when she was extremely special to everyone, and also caring about herself outside. People report every bit of the struggle against the new crown.
In her videos, countless netizens saw those who were hit by destiny, several “daily” moments that were difficult or moved or tender.
Day and Night in the Cabin
It’s already 2:30 in the morning when the 24-hour brightly lit Wuhan Fangfang Hospital is in the living room.
Abu recorded with pictures and videos: she received a box of lunch, a military coat, a storage box; two quilts and electric blankets on the bed; the meal was not too delicious; the board room washes, and the mobile toilet was hundreds For human use, a little dirty.
Wuhan living room, as its name suggests, is a large living room built for itself in the city of Wuhan. It has hosted large expositions and large art exhibitions. On February 7th, it changed from a “hall” to a “square cabin hospital” and opened the cabin to treat patients with mild neo-crown pneumonia.
Three days and nights of the “quick” square cabin hospital, at first many people were worried that the service facilities could not keep up. Coupled with the sudden arrival in an unfamiliar place and seeing hundreds of beds, ordinary people are inevitably afraid and nervous.
Abu was the first patient to be admitted and thought she would have to adapt for a while. But in the next few days, Abu’s camera captured the fast-track and perfecting process of the square cabin hospital.
On the third day of the cabin, after dinner, the loudspeaker beside Abu’s bedside suddenly sounded a prairie folk song “Saralang Red”. A nurse from Gansu danced with everyone.
This is the way that the medical staff of the cabin wanted to relieve the depressed atmosphere, and also made the cabin friends move to improve their immunity.
Miss nurse dances very professionally, and heavy protective clothing does not affect her graceful dance. The cabin friends were infected by the soothing yet cheerful music and dancing, and then they jumped up, and people continued to join.
Abu couldn’t help crying when he saw the long-lost smile on the dancing cabin friend’s face. “When I am sick, I am always easy to be moved by something unusual.” Abu quickly took out his mobile phone and took a picture of the “Fangcai Hospital Square Dance” and uploaded it to Xiaohongshu.
What she didn’t expect is that this video soon gained tens of thousands of likes from netizens on Xiaohongshu and became popular on the entire network. CCTV News also quoted Abu’s video and made follow-up reports as soon as possible.
With the wide spread of video, Abu is often recognized when he walks in the cabin, and on the Internet, countless netizens who have never met each other have gathered under Abu’s little red book notes, encouraging, blessing, and returning every day. Some netizens “urged change”, and Abu was also moved with a sense of responsibility. She called herself a “square cabin battlefield reporter” and determined to update the real life in the square cabin all the time.
Abu, wherever he went, he kept looking for “news spots”. Through Abu ’s lens, we see that the cabin has a reading corner, three large bookcases, full of new books; a “confidence tree” is added to the partition of the cabin, and everyone looks forward to their expectations and The blessing was written on a sticky note, which made up the leaves of the tree; the meal in the square cabin became more and more delicious, the vegetarian diet was reasonable, and milk, yogurt, and small bread were regularly issued. Abu recorded: “I was afraid of the square cabin meal. Do notOK, I later found out that I thought too much. When I came to the cabin, I was trying to gain ten pounds. “
The way the square cabin is active is also more diverse. Medical teams from all over the country contributed their talents here: a Fujianese medical team song “Love will fight will win” triggered a chorus; Sichuan medical team changed the lyrics in the folk song “Chengdu” to “and I walked on the streets of Wuhan, “causing Abu to shed tears again. Later, the cabin also had a self-service karaoke KTV machine. After seeing it, netizens left a message under the Abu video: I feel that you are not going to the hospital, but you are attending a winter camp.
Abu noticed that the cabin was quietly changing. As a temporary residence, the cabin is not home, but it has become more and more community-like. Everyone is working to improve the living environment in the cabin. When entering the square cabin, the sanitary problems that most troubled Abu ’s mobile toilets were also reversed. “Now when you go to the bathroom, you will bring a basin of water to rinse. Everyone can take care of themselves, and the sanitation is much better.”
Abu cuts these detailsAll the changes are presented on the Internet one by one. Each small red book note is packed with blessings and encouragement messages. Her cabin record has also appeared on CCTV news three times and has been reproduced by dozens of media. Many Xiaohongshu netizens left a message on Abu’s homepage, saying that through Abu’s eyes, they saw the most authentic “history of evolution” in Fangcang Hospital.
“Life and Death”
Every night, Abu returned to the square cabin and looked at the ceiling, some thoughts fluttered and flew.
She often looks back at the photos on her phone and relives how her daughter grew up day by day. There was a family portrait taken on her daughter ’s third birthday last year and she watched it countless times.
There are always times when I can’t sleep. The epidemic blocked social relationships and the opportunity for face-to-face communication with relatives and friends. In the long isolation, people will inevitably feel isolated.
But such emotions are limited to those nights when I can’t sleep. Whether it is the cabin or the online community, it helped Abu rebuild the social relationship with people near and far, so that Abu got unexpected spiritual support.
Abu ’s cabin area, most cabin friends are much older than her, and there are many peers in the medical care, Abu chats with them in his spare time. Medical staff can’t bring their mobile phones while working. Abu helped them shoot “reporting safe videos” for them to pass to their families and hospitals. Some of them were also posted on the Internet, and everyone gradually became familiar.
As online videos are getting more and more attention, medical staff will not only cooperate with Abu to shoot, sometimes they will also actively find her and express her mind through her videos. A nurse wrote a blessing to her lover on the sleeve and asked Abu to shoot it and send it out.
