Features: With the outbreak of SARS, people had fewer opportunities to meet and communicate, while short messages, known as the "fifth media," became incredibly popular. People sent care and blessings to their relatives and friends, as well as to strangers who shared the same mobile phones. When a vaccine for SARS becomes available, I'll let myself fever if I want to, catch a cold if I want to, and infect whoever I choose. To create love during the SARS era, all you need is a mask, a medicinal soap, and a short message. Actually, a short message is enough—if it's inconvenient to send a mask or soap. Wherever the sun shines, there is my silent blessing. When the moonlight spreads over the Earth, there is my silent prayer. At the moment a shooting star glides by, I made a wish: wishing the person reading this message safety and keeping away from SARS! Water flows, fish swim, fighting SARS doesn't need a reason; wind blows, rain falls, isolation is also for everyone's sake; you have a heart, I have a heart, we tie a rope together; the sky has compassion, the earth has compassion, SARS will definitely not prevail.
