A Chinese company, Xiaomi, mailed millions of masks (口罩) to Italy. Xiaomi mailed the masks to Italy by water, and the company put a note on the side of the crates(板条箱). On the note was an ancient poem: We are waves of the same sea, leaves of the same tree, flowers of the same garden.
The European country went through a terrible time of COVID-19, and Xiaomi said on the Internet that it would give away the masks. It said the company felt a duty(责任)to the Italian market. The market warmly welcomed Xiaomi when the smartphone maker went into Italy.
"Since we arrived in the country several years ago, we have felt loved and we have deeply got into touch with the life of the country. That is why we felt the duty to help Italy fight COVID-19, by giving away these masks," the head of the company also said in an interview.
The company also posted some photos of crates on the Internet. In fact, preparing these crates cost the company much time. The head of the company also said that they were happy to be able to give a hand. To their surprise, the government of Italy has done an excellent job for the lives of the whole country.
Governments are short of medical masks and other necessary things. These are the main reasons why a country finds it difficult to fight COVID-19. And at the same time, the masks from Xiaomi have helped people in Italy a lot.
