On the battlefield against the COVID-19 pandemic, a special group in white protective suits can be seen incessantly bustling about, and they are affectionately dubbed dabai, or "big white" — Chinese translation of Baymax in Disney's film Big Hero 6, an angel-like warm inflatable computerized robot who has similar features. These dabai, including medical staff, grassroots-level government workers, and volunteers from other walks of life, are people that are the closest to the novel coronavirus. Having been helping conduct nucleic acid testing, distribute food, provide people in quarantine with necessities, and perform other anti-pandemic tasks, they have become a vital part of China's fight against the pandemic and people cannot imagine how to get by without the help from them. Ordinary as they may be, the dabai deserve to be called heroes and vanguards of the times for their dedication and sacrifice for people's health and the country's well-being.
Chen Simin shows the pictures and words on the protective suits. To amuse medical colleagues in the tense work, Chen Simin, a 21-year-old nurse in the department of cardiovascular medicine of the No. 6 Hospital of Wuhan, has drawn various heart-warming pictures on the protective suits. The patterns include pictures of iconic local food in Wuhan, like reganmian (hot dry noodles), mianwo (salty doughnut), landmarks of the city such as the Yellow Crane Tower, and popular cartoon images such as Ultraman and Baymax.
