A newly published photo album sheds light on some of the indelible moments in Chinese people's tenacious fight against the novel coronavirus.

The album, titled 100 Photographers Focus on COVID-19, is a collection of 356 images taken by more than 200 photographers across the country, many of them captured on the front lines of fighting COVID-19.

The cover features a medical worker with deep imprints left on her face from wearing mask and goggles for a long time. The photo offers a glimpse of the arduous efforts made by the more than 42,000 health workers sent to Hubei province, the area hit hardest in China by the virus, to help their local peers cure COVID-19 patients.

Li Ge, a veteran photographer who led the program that recorded the images of each and every of the medical workers aiding Hubei, said: "They are not only over 42,000 portraits, but also over 42,000 stories, and over 42,000 times of our hearts getting touched." Some of the medical workers' portraits are included in the album.

Xu Zugen, chairman of the China Photojournalists Society, said in the face of big disasters, photojournalists throw themselves to the front lines, no matter what they face is visible gunfire or invisible virus.

The album is compiled by China Daily and published by China Pictorial Press.
