For a vivid delineation of how people from all walks of life came together to fi ght the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19), the National Museum of Chinas new art exhibition, Unity Is Strength: An Art Exhibition on the Fight Against COVID-19, is a must-visit.

Opened on August 1, it is a collection of nearly 200 items, including traditional paintings, sculptures, calligraphy and handicrafts, both by established artists and ordinary people. China Artists Association and China Calligraphers Association are co-hosts of the exhibition.

A tribute to medical workers and other men and women who selflessly contributed to saving lives and safeguarding public health, it also shows Chinas contribution to combat the global pandemic as a responsible major country.
