the ROME – “it Is our responsibility to support Italy. We will stay here to fight together with our Italian brothers”. Hu Lanbo, a journalist and writer, directs the magazine “China in Italy” and is a reference point for the large chinese community in the Country. In the days of the emergency from the coronavirus has decided to write an open letter to his countrymen, tempted by the desire to leave the Country.
The days of fear. “Many people are concerned that the situation in Italy continues to deteriorate and that without the possibility to build two hospitals in just a few days, such as those of Huoshenshan and Leishenshan, the amount of beds and the number of health workers may become a problem. It’s not just the asian restaurants to feel the weight of this crisis, the commercial activities of the Italian in each sector are temporarily frozen. The chinese help each other and then they have the good habit of putting your savings in a perspective of moments like this. Accordingly, they believe that for them to deal with this difficulty is a little easier for the italians. Have no doubts that this moment will pass and the clouds will leave soon the place to the rays of the sun.”
The excellence of the Italian health system. “Some chinese fear of not being accepted by Italian hospitals: a thought that is similar is the evidence that the chinese community has formed a bond strong enough with the Italian society. It is true, there were some cases of racial discrimination on the part of individuals, but you can’t even imagine the level of professionalism of the Italian hospitals. Due to an illness, I had to deal with hospitals for a whole year, and it probably is one of the only places in which the foreign and Italian citizens can enjoy the same rights”.
The crisis of the commercial activities. “This virus intimidates, makes us wallow in fear and worry. But the road that leads us home is long, and if we really love our China as if it were our mother, then we do not need to go back there with the risk of creating problems. We will fight together with our Italian brothers, our presence here can really help to keep calm. At the moment our business is blocked, but let us take it as an opportunity to rest. After years of hard work, we can take advantage of this moment, it would also benefit the health. Opening our business here in Italy, all of us have faced difficult times, but we always come out. There is nothing different this time, it is nothing more than another difficult time, and we’ll do it.”
The responsibility of supporting Italy. “We stay here, assure our Italian friends and we don’t bring trouble to our nation. It is our responsibility to support Italy. In Wuhan there are doctors who risk their lives to save those of sick patients, and we have to do is stay here. Is it really so difficult?”
“The Republic will fight always in defense of the freedom of information, to its readers and to all those who have at heart the principles of democracy and civil coexistence”
