Taking photos for some 42,000 medical workers fighting COVID-19 in Wuhan is a 
phenomenal project that Li Ge never did before.

With over 20 years' experience, the photojournalistic went to Wuhan with a 
photographers' team, capturing the portraits of medical workers within 40 days. 
"I got softer and fragile talking to these frontline workers," Li said. "I 
cried almost every day as I witnessed what they had been doing."  

Even to a veteran like Li who has experienced in various hear-striking scenes 
throughout his career, this project, the first ever of this kind in China, is 
an unprecedented one. 

During the outbreak of the pandemic, more than 40,000 medical workers from 
across China headed to the epicenter to assist with COVID-19 treatment. They 
did not only help ease the shortage of local medical workers, but brought 
plenty of protective gears in need. 

This short documentary was filmed in May, produced by China Matters. It tells 
stories of how photographer Li Ge and his team conducted the project of 
documenting medical workers on the frontline of the fight against COVID-19 in 
Wuhan.
