Abstract Since the re-establishment of social work in the Chinese Mainland in the late 1980s, social work has confronted two major public health crises, namely, the SARS epidemic and the COVID-19 pandemic. In the first public health crisis, little attempts of social workers were captured, leading to scant public attention. It was not until the COVID-19 pandemic that social workers’ efforts were widely noticed and valued by the Chinese society. President Xi Jinping highlighted social workers’ professional advantages in psychological counselling and emotional support for people during the outbreak of COVID-19. This paper aims to provide a holistic account of Chinese social workers’ participation in the fight against the pandemic in Wuhan during the lockdown period. It explores their motivations, qualifications, and approaches of engaging in the battle, the services provided to the vulnerable groups, and the distinct Chinese characteristics of their interventions. Moreover, by demonstrating the transferability of Chinese experiences, this study provides valuable insights for other countries seeking to adapt Western-oriented social work models to their local contexts, thereby offering a framework for professional advancement in diverse cultural environments.
