With the strong support of the people and enterprises in the two places, as a friendship city, Sydney and Wuhan have deep emotions and connections.
We can understand and appreciate the difficulties Wuhan and the Chinese people experienced during this special period, especially during the Spring Festival. Usually this is the day when people celebrate the New Year with a happy family.
