Zhang Ruiru, a 20-year-old student at Tsinghua University, went back to her home city of Wuhan for the traditional Chinese New Year holiday. Both of her parents were later diagnosed with the infection, and have recovered.

She told her stories of the past few months in Wuhan to the latest Vision China on Tuesday.

Zhang said the fight against the outbreak has made her fully realize the strong unity of the Chinese people.

"Chinese people have stood out as one to fight the virus. Medical workers from all over the country descended on Wuhan to help, resources were sent into the city from all over China," she said. "I'm sure those medical workers were extremely exhausted, and they must have been afraid of being infected, but they didn't show it."
