Sun Chunxuan, a male nurse from Jiangsu province, volunteered to go to Wuhan when he heard that the Jiangsu government was recruiting local medical staff members to support the stricken city.

He even postponed his wedding after discussing the matter with his fiancee, a doctor who runs a clinical laboratory at a hospital. In turn, she volunteered to work at fever clinics in Nanjing, Jiangsu's capital.

"We have no regrets about our decision. We will marry when I return home after our victory," Sun said.

Sun is not alone. By now, more than 38,000 medical worker from other provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions hve joined those in Hubei to fight the novel coronavirus

In addition to medical staff members, hundreds of thousands of people are actively seeking ways to make a contribution, either on the front line or through donations of money, food, face masks and other items, either from their homes or workplaces.

Cao Yinxiu, a 47-year-old senitation worker who has worked in the sector for 12 years, has volunteered to help clean local hospials on Jan. 28, together with her 44 colleagues.

Cao said she and her colleagues were well-prepared for the task. "If there's anything I can do to help, I will certainly try," she said.

When he heard about the spread of the coronavirus, Muhammad Usman Janjua, Pakistan-born and 29-year-old, who lectures in clinical internal medicine at Changsha Medical University in Hunan province, wrote to the authorities and asked for permission to join the fight in Wuhan.

"It is a doctor's duty and mission to heal the wounded and assist the dying. I am still awaiting approval. If I cannot go to Wuhan, I will do my best to help the hospital in Changsha and the students at the university, and give a professional interpretation of the virus and psychological counseling to overseas students," he said.

Earlier, people from a mountain village in Yunnan province donated 22 tons of bananas to Wuhan, with hundreds of residents transporting the fruit down the mountain on motorcycles. Moreover, many truck drivers have supported Hubei by delivering necessities such as food from other areas to places hit by the epidemic.

Doctors, nurses, teachers, sanitation workers, farmers, truck drivers and construction workers: Those groups and others have all made concerted efforts to support the people of Hubei. By Feb 1, Hubei Province had received donations of about 7 billion yuan ($1 billion), according to the local government.
