China News Service, April 3rd. According to the WeChat public account of the Xinhua United Times of Italy, a Chinese living in Naples, Italy, was reported by the local media for donating anti-epidemic materials to the local area.
The Chinese boy, named Yuan, is 22 years old and is from Yangzhou, Jiangsu Province, China. He has lived in Naples since 2019 and is studying at a local art school. "I have personally experienced discrimination against Chinese in the news," Yuan said in an interview. "But I have overcome these discrimination because I have the support of many friends in school and in the community."
After the epidemic broke out in Italy, Yuan even wanted to help the Neapolitans fight against the epidemic. "My mother was a front-line doctor in Yangzhou. When I heard that the doctors in Naples did not have enough protective supplies, I contacted my mother and hoped that she could raise some anti-epidemic materials to help the Italian doctors get through the difficulties. "Yuan said that the current batch of materials containing this mask, protective clothing and goggles have been sent from Shanghai.
The supplies will be donated to Loreto Mare Hospital in Naples.
