"If you have no cloth, my brother, I will share with you..."
Cao Bin, vice-president of China-Japan Friendship Hospital, recited an ancient Chinese poem to convey his strong belief that China can win victory over the COVID-19 epidemic when he attended a news conference held by the State Council Information Office on Wednesday afternoon.
"The poem, or a battle song, has moved and motivated every Chinese," Cao said.
The poem comes from Shi Jing, or The Book of Songs, the oldest existing collection of Chinese poetry, comprising 305 works dating back from the Western Zhou Dynasty (c.11th century-771 BC) to the Spring and Autumn Period (770-476 BC).
