A documentary series centering on ordinary Chinese people's fight against COVID-19 is being aired on television.

The four-episode documentary tells 36 stories taking place across the country on Feb 24, the day of Longtaitou, which literally means "dragon raises head."

The documentary puts the spotlight on frontline medical workers and grassroots officials fighting COVID-19.

Falling on the second day of the second lunar month, the day of Longtaitou is a traditionally busy day for hair salons as many Chinese believe that a new hairdo on that day will bring good luck.
