Sergio Silva, 42, is a veteran martial arts teacher, a professional designer, and a fledgling film director, and now he describes himself as a fighter against the novel coronavirus pandemic. Silva made and posted a series of videos on social media platforms, cheering for people in the virus-hit Chinese city of Wuhan, recounting his firsthand experience of home quarantine in Beijing, as well as introducing China's effective measures in epidemic prevention and control. He also cooperated with Kwai, a major short video platform under the Chinese internet giant Kuaishou, and launched a donation campaign to raise anti-virus supplies for a hospital and poverty-stricken communities in his hometown.
