Inspiring messages from Confucius Institutes all over the world have been melting the hearts of million of Chinese fighting against the novel coronavirus epidemic in the country.

Teachers and students from the institutes as well as foreigners who love Chinese culture are recording videos expressing their support for the Chinese people.

Chinese social media platforms are abuzz with a plethora of loving and inspirational messages, such as "Come on, China! Come one, Wuhan!," "Virus is the enemy, not China," and "I'm in Greece and I've never seen you, but I do hope everyone of you is safe and healthy."

Several students from the Confucius Institute in Sudan recorded a Chinese poem to encourage the Chinese people. "We're in Sudan. We came to know you're fighting against the virus. We know how hard that is," the poem reads.

Moreover, teachers at Confucius Institutes affiliated to Pakistani universities, such as University of the Punjab, University of Sargodha and National University of Modern Languages, have also prepared lessons to help students understand the virus and how China is doing its utmost to contain it.

Medical workers from Pakistan are also volunteering to help out central China's Wuhan City, the epicenter of the novel coronavirus outbreak.

Meanwhile, donations are pouring in to help the country battle the virus.

The Confucius Classroom under University of New Hampshire in the U.S. donated masks, protective suits and surgical gowns to the local Confucius Institute so that it can be sent to China as soon as possible, according to a report from the People's Daily. 

Confucius Institutes in Russia also donated medical supplies, including masks and protective suits, to China.
