In her nine years of teaching before 2020, Liu Qianchen was always in the same classroom as her students. So it was unfamiliar for her to talk to a camera alone when COVID-19 struck.
She had to move all classes online almost overnight during the Chinese New Year holiday. At the beginning, the students didn t even have the proper equipment for online-session, like earphones, she said.
