All the Chinese people are deeply concerned about the epidemic pneumonia caused by the novel coronavirus outbreak. Many medical personnel took part in the fight against the coronavirus, including those from the First Hospital of Lanzhou University, Lanzhou University Second Hospital and the university’s campus hospital. Teachers and students from the university have also been concerned about the situation. Hendra Kurniawan, Chinese name Chen Junwen, was one of the overseas students at the university. Knowing medical supplies on campus were short, Chen tried many ways to gather necessities. Chen got in touch with his friends in Indonesia and they donated over 6,000 masks altogether.

The first batch of masks arrived in Lanzhou around Feb 10, and Chen began collecting more supplies. More than 4,000 masks were sent to Lanzhou by sea in batches over the next few days. All those masks were used for epidemic prevention and treatment at the campus hospital of Lanzhou University.
