The Third World War has come to humankind in the form of COVID-19. This war is not fought between various sectors of human society, but between all of humankind and the coronavirus. Where the virus is, where it comes from, and where it might strike next remains unknown. Even so, we all must fight for ourselves, for our families, and for all the earth’s people. Intrepid Guardians – Inside Story of China’s Victory Over the Coronavirus presents heroic, heartwarming stories of the work done by China’s frontline healthcare workers at the center of the earliest outbreaks of COVID-19. These stories offer insight and encouragement, lifting the spirits of those who continue at the forefront of the fight as the virus rages around the world. Their selflessness in the face of danger points the way, showing us how we may win the war globally, just as China has gained victory over the coronavirus, within its borders. As we come together as a united people across the earth, we are confident we can contain COVID-19 through coordinated efforts and a cooperative spirit, as has been demonstrated by these heroes who have fought the battle from its earliest stages.
