When we first heard from Peng Peng, Al Jazeera's cameraman in Beijing, it was for our first episode on COVID-19. He and his family were suddenly trapped in Hubei province as the novel coronavirus began spreading. The world has changed since he went into lockdown, but the latest update from him is one that brought us hope.
