Amid the challenges posed by the novel coronavirus outbreak, Lucy, a documentary production worker in Beijing, found herself separated from her parents in Wuhan during the Spring Festival. Unable to travel back home to celebrate with her family, Lucy and her mother took a creative approach to bridge the distance.
On Chinese New Year's Eve, the first time her mother recorded a vlog using a mobile phone, with Lucy's assistance, they documented their day together. This heartfelt vlog captured the essence of how an ordinary family, kept apart by the outbreak, navigated the traditional celebrations in a new and meaningful way.
The vlog not only served as a personal keepsake for Lucy and her family but also resonated with many others facing similar separations during the pandemic. By sharing their experience, they highlighted the resilience and adaptability of families striving to maintain connections despite unprecedented circumstances.
