The Federation of Overseas Chinese Unites Hearts, and Local Notables Lend a Hand! Together, We Will Overcome the Pandemic—We Stand United Every Step of the Way.

　　“Yipeng, keep it up!” On the afternoon of March 14, loud cheers rang out at the entrance of Jinqiu Village in Yipeng Subdistrict. Members of the Yipeng Overseas Chinese Federation and the New Local Notables Association delivered supplies such as instant noodles, milk, and bottled water to the village, paying tribute to all frontline workers fighting the epidemic and contributing through concrete actions to our collective effort to overcome the pandemic.

　　“As a locally based enterprise in Yipeng, we would like to do our part and contribute to epidemic prevention and control.” In this round of material donations, Hangzhou Jiahuang Transmission Technology Co., Ltd., a member unit of the Federation of Overseas Chinese Associations, donated 150 cases of mineral water, 80 cases of instant noodles, and 50 cases of milk to Jinquan Village and Bailang Village; Mingsheng Holding Group Co., Ltd. donated milk, fruits, instant noodles, beverages, and other supplies to Xinghua Village. Meanwhile, Zhejiang Guopeng Construction Co., Ltd. and Hangzhou Teddy’er Construction Co., Ltd., both member units of the Yipeng New Local Notables Association, donated mineral water, eight-treasure porridge, fruits, and other items to Jinquan Village.
　　Guan Tingting, General Manager of Hangzhou Jiahuang Transmission Technology Co., Ltd. and Deputy Secretary-General of the Yipeng Overseas Chinese Association, stated that since Yipeng initiated district-wide nucleic acid testing, she has been closely monitoring the street’s progress in epidemic prevention and control. Like Jiahuang Transmission, many member organizations are eager to do their part for their hometown.

　　Shao Cheng, Vice Chairman of Mingsheng Holding Group Co., Ltd. and Vice Chairman of the Yipeng Overseas Chinese Federation, shares the same view as Guan Tingting. To address this, Guan Tingting, Shao Cheng, and other leaders of the Overseas Chinese Federation contacted the relevant officials at the subdistrict level. Upon learning that Jinquan, Bailang, and Xinghuacun still needed additional supplies, they promptly arranged for procurement and delivered the materials to the sites without delay. “As long as there is a need, the Overseas Chinese Federation has an unshirkable responsibility,” said Guan Tingting. “We are confident that, with the concerted efforts of all residents of Yipeng, the epidemic will eventually pass.”
　　During epidemic prevention volunteer service, many members of the Yipeng Overseas Chinese Association and the New Local Notables Association have also stepped forward.

　　“As a villager of Bailang Village, as well as an employee of Mingsheng Holding Group and a member of the Yipeng Overseas Chinese Federation, I feel an even greater sense of social responsibility toward both my company and community organizations than most others.” Following the street’s rollout of district-wide nucleic acid testing, Ge Feiqin, a member of the Overseas Chinese Federation, promptly signed up and volunteered at the village committee. Donning a red vest and a small red cap, she took on the role of a COVID-19 prevention and control volunteer, guiding residents through the nucleic acid testing process in the village. After the testing concluded, she continued her duties at the only entry point into Bailang Village, scanning codes and registering passing pedestrians and vehicles—work that kept her busy until late into the night.
　　"After a day of volunteering, my back and legs may be sore, but knowing that I’ve been able to contribute in a small way to Yipeng’s epidemic prevention and control makes it all worthwhile. Keep it up, Yipeng!” said Ge Feiqin.
