A RECORD SIXTEEN DAYS
When Raz Gal Or was waiting at the Beijing Capital International Airport to board a flight to Tel Aviv ahead of the Spring Festival, both the 26-year-old entrepreneur and his friend Brian O’Shea were struck by the number of people wearing masks in the airport. Having been pre-occupied with their businesses, they were not aware that an epidemic was spreading in Wuhan, Hubei Province in central China.
Several days later, they collected 229 boxes of medical supplies in Israel in a day, and donated them to Huanggang, east Hubei, on February 9 to assist the fight against the epidemic.
The whole donation process of 384 hours, is, published in Chinese and English by New Star Press, a Beijing-based publishing house under the China International Publishing Group. The book, which is the first on the subject of fighting against the novel coronavirus, also shows the selfless assistance to Hubei and cooperation between young Israeli and Chinese entrepreneurs.
