“Warmth in tough times – My SPRG experience during the pandemic”Reflecting on Shanghai back in 2022, the days of lockdown were long and difficult. I unfortunately contracted COVID-19 and the discomfort made me feel utterly helpless. The medicine supply at home had long been depleted, and finding ibuprofen or fever-reducing medicine at the chemists was next to impossible.
Just when I was feeling most anxious, my colleague Carolyn reached out to me. Upon learning about my predicament, she immediately acted without hesitation. Despite the severe shortage, she managed to send me precious ibuprofen and fever-reducing medicine via courier. At that moment, I felt deeply moved.
The medicine represented more than just a tool for alleviating my illness, it signified the profound camaraderie among colleagues. Amidst the loneliness and pain of self-isolation, Carolyn's kind gesture was like a ray of warm sunshine, illuminating my world. This care made me fully appreciate the warmth and strength of our team. Going forward, this memory will be something that I most cherish.
