Hua Zihui, a 22-year-old policewoman who works in the public security department of Nanning Railway, is using hand-painted cartoons to promote daily epidemic prevention techniques to passengers in the train station waiting room, such as wearing masks, washing hands, and disinfecting frequently.

Nanning East Railway Station serves as a transportation hub in Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region. It is a key area for epidemic prevention and control, as the average daily passenger flow is reaching 13,000 during the epidemic outbreak.

Hua Zihui studied how to hand-draw comics on her own and has so far created more than 50 interesting and practical cartoons for public security publicity.
