On Feb.17, a special birthday party for patients was held at Jiangan Fangcang Hospital in Wuhan, the epicenter of the novel coronavirus outbreak.

The party was held to celebrate the birthdays of 48 patients and on-duty medical staff whose birthdays fell in February, mainly by connecting family members via video, performance programs, sending blessings, sharing cakes and eating longevity noodles.

The party not only helped relieve the burden on patients, but also boosted their confidence in their fight against the virus and strengthened bonds between medical staff and patients.
