Li Zhifang, a vegetable supplier from Wuhan, provided food to residents near the Huanan Seafood Market, which was regarded as the highest risk area during the coronavirus outbreak. When the city's lockdown ended, he sent his tender lotus roots as a thank you all across the country. He said that the vegetable has a fresh and distinctive Wuhan taste and the gifts carry the gratitude of the Wuhan people to those who gave a helping hand during the pandemic.
