The latest COVID-19 resurgence in Shanghai has been a stress test for community management and services, as well as a learning experience for many young social workers who are new to the field.
Among these young social workers are alumni from Fudan University in Shanghai who chose to work as assistants to the Party secretaries of local villages for two years after graduating in 2021.
During the latest fight against the virus, these individuals were involved in a variety of tasks, including community management, organizing nucleic acid tests, distributing medication to residents and designing solutions to meet the needs of the community.
The work of these social workers was recorded in a video published online on May 4 by Zhang Shengwei, assistant to the Party secretary in Zhuqiao village in Pudong New Area. Zhang graduated from Fudan's life sciences school last year.
