It was 3 am on April 7, 2018, only seven hours left before the official group presentation. The Tencent Creative Space in the Modern World Trade Center of Wuhan Optics Valley was still brightly lit. All the players were in their own cubicles, keeping their eyes on the screen with their keyboard clattering under their fingertips. You could even feel that their brains were running at a fast speed. What were they doing? They were performing the final shaping and iterative preparation for the products. The whole group’s efforts were condensed in front of these small screens.
It was rainy in Wuhan in April, and the temperature of mid-spring fell sharply. However, it could not cool down the enthusiasm of nearly 100 hackers. They came and gathered in this DoraHackathon in the rain, from different science and technology university associations all over Wuhan, to take part in this 24-hour long battle.

“We’ll be parents one day. By that day, I hope my kids would be able to go to the hospital with the fun of fighting monsters there, and all the viruses defeated by them would become their own meritorious medals. I wish that every door of the clinic could have temperature and emotion.” The captain of Haha Team said so.
