Aceso has a great passion for literature. She has been writing articles, stories, and poems in Chinese language for years. Aceso is also a gifted artist specializing in watercolor. In her COVID-19 pandemic stories, Aceso showcased her artistic talent by creating a special image for the book cover and illustrating the poetry Pearl Hunter at the end of her collective stories. Since the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak in January, 2020, Aceso has focused her writings and artwork on the COVID-19 related stories. Despite the busy routine of her daily nursing duties, Aceso kept up with her writings in a log format. She documented, in great detail, the COVID-19 pandemic situations focusing on a local hospital where COVID-19 infected patients were admitted, treated, and taken care of. As the pandemic raged around the world, Aceso was directly and indirectly involved in COVID-19 cases on various levels and witnessed the struggles of the COVID patients, as well as the healthcare workers. Aceso truthfully recorded her work routines, her observations, conversations and opinions from an insider’s perspectives, omitting her patients’ true identities to protect their privacy. Her detailed account on the COVID-19 outbreak and patient treatments has shown how American healthcare workers on the frontline coped with pandemic crisis from the very beginning. It gives readers an opportunity to familiarize themselves with hospital’s supplies, facilities, conditions and environment where American healthcare workers and patients spend hours, days, and weeks. It also allows readers to experience the patients’ frustration, their struggles, their fights for survival, their uncertainty, and their helpless emotions throughout the pandemic outbreak. At the same time, readers may gain a better understanding of hardworking American healthcare workers who have earned themselves well-deserved respect through their dedication, commitment, and determination to help with COVID-19 patients. Their warmhearted connections with patients of all backgrounds, as well as their compassion for their suffering patients, touches readers’ hearts. Ilgar Guo, a librarian and a freelance translator, closely worked with nurse Aceso on the COVID-19 facts and stories. Ilgar helped Aceso select, translate, and compile her work log stories from Chinese to English. In addition to writing some passages and lines, Ilgar also modified and edited Aceso’s true stories, including her poetry at the end of the book. Using her research skills and library resources, Ilgar has been involved in the book writing and publishing process.ver menos
