Chinese Embassy in Korea Donates 25,000 Medical Masks to Daegu: "Stay Strong, Daegu"

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] The Chinese Embassy in Korea announced on the 27th that it has sent more than 25,000 medical masks (KF94, N95) urgently procured to Daegu.

The masks were purchased with the embassy's budget, and some were donated by embassy staff. The cargo truck transporting the masks displayed banners with the poem lines by Choi Chi-won, "Do Bul Won In (道不遠人) In Mu I Guk (人無異國)" and "Stay strong, Daegu! China supports Korea!"

Do Bul Won In In Mu I Guk means "The Way is not far from people, and people are no different by country," symbolizing the bilateral relationship where, despite different nationalities, both countries help each other in difficult times.

The embassy explained that the mask support was to reciprocate the help China received from the Korean government, companies, and citizens during the early stages of the COVID-19 outbreak when China faced great difficulties.

An embassy official stated, "This is a gesture of gratitude for the friendship and kindness shown by the Korean people," adding, "The embassy will continue to procure various quarantine supplies and actively support and cheer for Koreans to overcome the epidemic."
