Wan Ling and her husband, Fung Yushin, were a typical couple.

She's a businesswoman, He's a surgeon.

They were looking for an apartment and trying for a baby.

Then Fung became one of the first people ever infected with what would come to be called Covert 19.

He's a surgeon in Wuhan, China.

Late last year, he was only hearing snippets about a mysterious local disease in the hospital wards.

Eventually, he showed symptoms and got tested.

Dwan remembers February 3rd, 2020.

Uh, doesn't.

That morning, at around seven or 8 a.m. I looked at the number of daily infections.

There were 2388 new infections.

I remember posting something on my wechat, saying that I finally felt like the numbers were not just some cold fax because among the 2388 people was the protector of my small family.

400 people have died by that day.

Covert, 19 has since infected over 74 million people worldwide on killed more than 1.5 million.

Dwan says Fung was lucky the city would eventually lose around 4000 people, but Fung suffered only a moderate case.

He still had to goto work even after he began showing symptoms.

Eventually that grueling 76 day quarantine hit the city on.

She was cut off from him.

You gonna So you go in this kind of shipping When I was alone, I would watch the video of him playing guitar and his dormitory when he was studying abroad.

Every time when I watched the video, I I'm sorry my emotions would become unstable But the epidemic didn't cause me to cry once.

And I always believed that we would get through this toe doesn't want that.

Today Wuhan has largely returned to normal bars and restaurants are crowded on The city hasn't reported a new co vid 19 case since May.

Now the couple is focused on the future.

Life is actually quite short and life is also a process with many surprises.

Every day of peace and quiet is actually quite precious.
