“I do hope that by writing about their stories , I'm helping things change for the better . " Li Xueqing, a China Daily journalist , based in New York City.
They're neither medical workers in close contact with the novel coronavirus nor government officials who receive the latest updates of the situation - yet they’re keeping us informed of the development of the epidemic . They are the media , and their eyes are far-seeing.
Zhu Xingxin is one such member of the media : a photographer with China Daily . He visited Tongji Hospital affiliated with Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology in Wuhan on Feb 3 to report on the lives of medical workers.
Before entering the isolation ward ( 隔离病房) , Zhu had to put on protective gear ( 装 备 ) like the doctors : a protective suit , a surgical mask ,goggles ( 护 目镜 ) , disposable ( 一次性 ) gloves and shoe covers.He described it as " stuffy (闷热的)” with all the layers on .“I felt anoxi( 缺氧的 ) under the masks , ”he wrote on China Daily . " So I lowered my voice and slowed down my motions， trying to make myself feel better.
The eyes of the media are not just here to see, but also to scrutinize.
On Feb 9, for example , a bus in Wuhan carrying severely ill patients was caught in traffic with no one guiding them and no hospitals claiming them . The incident was witnessed by Global Times journalists and was soon reported online. It ended with all the patients being properly settled in hospitals and officials in charge being held responsible . But it's possible that without journalists this incident would never have been exposed.
Li Xueqing , a China Daily journalist , based in New York City , is also aware of the media's role as a watchdog ( 监督者 ) . She wrote a story last month about a group of Wuhan University alumni ( 校 友 ) in New York City who donated medical equipment to hospitals in Wuhan . She was impressed by how they managed to collect such a large amount of supplies and build an international shipping pathway in such a short time . Yet she was also disturbed by how all the complex ( 繁 杂 的 )paperwork and bureaucratic (官僚主义的 ) procedures added to their already heavy workload.
" I do hope that by writing about their stories , I'm helping things change for the better , said Li.
Indeed , the media is like a pair of eyes watching out for us as they report on the world's most important news.

There's much to see under the sea , but you need to remember that light behaves differently in water than in air . The objects appear closer to you than they exactly are . You might find yourself reaching out to touch something and completely missing it.
Objects under water will appear larger than they would on surface , too . Be careful not to tell any stories about the big fish that got away. That fish might not be so big after all ! It's just because sometimes things can seem to be as much as about 33 percent bigger in water!
What's more , in deeper water , colors just don't seem as bright . In fact , it looks as if some colors are missing . Remember the color of an object results from the wavelengths of light that are reflected from its surface . And light is taken in as it moves down through the water.
Swimmers wear wet suits to keep warm underwater . Let's take a bright red,yellow , and blue wet suit as an example . These colors are hard to miss on the surface of water.Watch carefully the changes in color as you descend in the water . The red part now looks almost black because the red light wavelengths , the longest among these three colors , are missing . As you go down deeper, the same thing will happen to the yellow part and in the end to the blue part . Even at a place about 6 to 9 meters underwater , you will look terrible, like a ghost! And you have to wait for your return to the surface to enjoy the bright colors again !
