Video-streaming and entertainment website Bilibili has launched a new channel where people can upload music videos meant to cheer Wuhan, vlogs recording the hard work of frontline medical workers and news clips with information related to novel coronavirus pneumonia.
Also, Bilibili has donated copyrights of several documentaries to Hubei Television Station for local people to watch.
