On the eve of Spring Festival, usually an occasion for family reunions, a lone, persistent figure stood on guard on the front line of epidemic prevention in Weiju Village, Wangji Street, Xinzhou District, Wuhan, protecting the health and safety of all the villagers. That figure was Wei Jianying, a graduate of the Open University of China (OUC) and secretary of the CPC Weiju Village Branch.

We are currently entering a critical period in the prevention and control of the COVID-19 epidemic. Based on a series of important instructions given by General Secretary Xi Jinping for epidemic prevention and control and the work arrangement of the Ministry of Education (MOE), the Party Committee of the Open University of China (OUC) attaches great importance to epidemic prevention and control work, and is actively implementing various prevention and control requirements. The university is concerned for the health of its 100,000 teachers and more than 4 million students and their families across China, in particular, teachers, students, and their families in branches in Hubei and Wuhan.
