I urge all Americans to watch @beijingloafer's gripping new film, 76 Days. The film details the resilience, compassion and dignity displayed by Wuhan's healthcare workers during the first 76 days of the lockdown, treating patients in 4 hospitals.

One particularly poignant scene was at the end, where Yang Li, the head ICU nurse at Wuhan Red Cross Hospital, calls families of the dead to return their phones and other belongings. "We really tried everything," she says as she consoles one family member.

The humanity displayed by these healthcare workers is incredible, and I urge those who have not so far to listen to American counterparts (@Craig_A_Spencer, @meganranney, @choo_ek, @drjessigold and so, so many more) to hear their stories.

The film also portrays the collective grief Wuhan showed on a day of mourning in April, when air raid sirens sounded throughout the city and residents honored their neighbors. As a country, we has lost our sense of collective grief with over 274,000 dead.

Regardless of your opinions of China, this film is a must-watch and hopefully incredibly thought-provoking. It should motivate every American to band together as a nation and look out for each other. The actions we take today will pave our way for a brighter tomorrow.
