Dr. Xia Sisi, a gastroenterologist at Union Jiangbei Hospital of Wuhan, died of Covid-19.\r<\/p>

She was 29 years old, married with a young child on whom she doted.\r<\/p>

The young mother didn\u2019t tell her child she had the coronavirus. Mama is working hard, she said, to save sick people.\r<\/p>

Instead, Xia Sisi was fighting for her life in the same hospital where she worked, weak from fever and gasping for breath.\r<\/p>

Xia came from a family of medical professionals. As a young child, she had accompanied her mother, a nurse, to work. \r<\/p>

She joined the Union Jiangbei Hospital of Wuhan in 2015 and was the youngest doctor in her department. \r<\/p>

Her colleagues called her \u201cLittle Sisi\u201d or \u201cLittle Sweetie\u201d because she always had a smile for them. She loved Sichuan hot pot, a dish famous for its numbingly spicy broth.\r<\/p>
