[00:00.04]Vietnamese schoolgirl Nguyen Doi Chung Anh

[00:05.04]was forced to stay in her Hanoi home for months

[00:09.92]because of COVID-19 restrictions.

[00:14.40]The ten-year-old spent much of her time inside creating artwork.

[00:21.28]Her pictures explore both the sadness

[00:25.04]and the heroism of the world's battle with the pandemic.

[00:31.80]Chung Anh uses colored pencils to make her drawings.

[00:36.12]One picture shows the spread of coronavirus in Europe and America.

[00:42.20]It includes representations of famous national landmarks

[00:47.76]like the Eiffel Tower, Big Ben and the Leaning Tower of Pisa.

[00:54.24]In the picture, the Statue of Liberty is crying.

[01:00.08]Chung Ahn also draws pictures that representing

[01:04.12]Vietnam's efforts to contain the virus.

[01:07.96]One shows two Vietnamese soldiers holding a passenger plane

[01:13.24]that has been struck by the virus.

[01:16.00]Another shows war planes from which medical workers

[01:20.64]spray the passenger plane with disinfectant.

[01:25.60]Those pictures represent the flight VN54,

[01:30.20]which brought new infection to the country

[01:33.40]after Vietnam reported it was virus-free.

[01:38.40]"I drew this with hope that they can keep their spirits high

[01:42.76]to prevent an outbreak," Chung Anh said,

[01:46.20]speaking of the frontline workers, adding "This girl is me,

[01:51.44]here I am drawing and these things are my imagination."

[01:57.96]Several pictures show the cruise ship Diamond Princess.

[02:03.04]More than 700 passengers and crew on the ship

[02:07.32]became infected with the new coronavirus.

[02:11.76]The ship was held under quarantine at a Japanese port

[02:16.04]for more than three months.

[02:18.40]Fourteen people died, all of them passengers.

[02:22.88]I'm Susan Shand.
