The closure of the last makeshift hospital in Wuhan today, the reason why I am here, marks the completion of its mission. Busy documenting, I ended up being the last one in the space. These pictures probably narrate the stories better than words can. The convention of suit-doodling continued. On my crumpled suit, it writes “Wang Jiaxing, From Wuhan.” Upon leaving, a Particle Detector marked as donations from my alma-mater Tsinghua University caught my attention- hey world- who would like to claim the gift?
