Date: February 26th, Night

Volunteer Zheng Nengliang and his friend Hu Hengbing came across a middle-aged homeless couple while driving across the Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge. The couple when asked said they traveled from Xianning, Hubei, before the Chinese Lunar New Year, to see a doctor in Wuhan. Now they are not allowed to leave Wuhan as the city is in lockdown. After spending all their money, they became homeless—unable to afford any food or accommodation.

Mr. Zheng smelled a strong sour scent from the couple. Apparently, they had not bathed or changed clothes for a long time. His wife looked weak and shivered with cold.
Mr. Zheng offered to find some quilts for the poor couple, while Hu Hengbing took off his jacket for the wife and gave them the last three biscuits in the car.

*The Chinese Lunar New Year Date in 2020 was January 25th.
