An exhibition about the struggle of medical workers during the COVID-19 pandemic opened in Shanghai on Wednesday.

The exhibition at Fudan University's library displays about 500 items donated by medical staff working in Wuhan, the first epicenter of the pandemic. The items include train tickets, boarding passes, work diaries, protective suits and even duty rosters. Many are being shown to the public for the first time.

Affiliated hospitals of Fudan University sent a total of 511 medical staff to support Wuhan. And the two designated hospitals for the novel coronavirus patients in Shanghai are affiliated hospitals of Fudan.

There's also a special section showing paintings from children of medical staff serving in the front line in Wuhan.

The library started to collect materials in February. It has collected over 800 pieces so far. Chen Sihe, curator of the library, said that due to the limit on space, more donations will be exhibited online.
