THUers stand in solidarity with global community
in fighting the pandemic
Despite differences in cultures and languages
Like-minded global THUers gather together
With efforts united and humanity cherished
To halt the spread of COVID-19
Hand in hand
Pressing ahead is THUers' default attitude
Although the pandemic has stopped us from uniting on Tsinghua campus
we see courage, strength, and help of THUers
across boundaries to fight against COVID-19
Join us to hear four stories of global THUers
Stories that originate from Tsinghua,
from our peers, and from the forefront of the
coronavirus pandemic fight
She is SHAN Sisi from China

Under the guidance of Professor ZHANG Linqi
she participates in vaccine research of
AIDS, Ebola and COVID-19
Right before the Lunar New Year eve,
She boarded a train back to Beijing
and redirected her research focus to COVID-19 Vaccine
It was in the lab where she celebrated
a special birthday amid the pandemic
where she enjoyed the Lunar New Year meal alone while taking care of lab experiments
It was also in the lab
where she demonstrated potential antibodies against the coronavirus to President XI
With the successful isolation of
206 kinds of antibodies of COVID-19
Effective treatment becomes possible
She said:"we are running a marathon with the virus!"

Zoon's office is in this corner of the courtyard
Hailing from miles away,
she fell in love with her new home in China
bridging the two countries with her unique
experiences and perspectives
Amidst the pandemic, she chose to stay at Tsinghua,
running between news media to curb the spread of misinformation
Allowing Pakistan and the world to hear China's voices
Melting all the rumours, biases and misunderstandings
He is Sathish Raghuraman from India
Alumni of Schwarzman College
Software Developer of UBS AG (Hong Kong)
"This is not a competition"
But we must claim victory
Seredipity occurred to him when he was overwhelmed by news updates of the pandemic during the long social distancing period
Joining his friends in India, he piloted an online "Coronathon"
Providing information to 3.8 million people
Tracking nearly 24000 suspected infected patients
Gathering more than 3000 volunteers
Collecting hundreds of idea proposals
Directly helping more than 400 elderly
Within four weeks, his anti-pandemic "Coronathon"
has run all over India
He is Mekhri Aliev from Russia
