  Through Chinese Social Media -- 5

  I’m a study-abroad student. Due to the virus, I had to stay at my home in New York. I got the update of the virus through Chinese social media, and I think it is really interesting. I’m going to share some posts from Chinese social media about the virus. The post is about that one of the temporary hospitals is going to close, which means the hope is coming. Through the post, I feel the persistence of those front line fighters. There are plenty of touching stories in the post. One of them brings his daughter's doll to the front line. They are also others' wives, husbands, mothers, children. These medical staff came to the frontline at the risk of infection, and their families were also worried, proud, and worried about them from afar.

I’m going to share some posts from Chinese social media about the virus. The post shares the current situation in the front lines. The photos in the post are so touching. Disease, urgency, risk, and death are the themes of twelve hours. People in the front line were trapped behind masks and face masks, breathing hard, causing them to feel severe headaches. Even though, they are still insisting on caring all the patients.

  I’m a study-abroad student. Due to the virus, I had to stay in New York. I got the update of the virus through Chinese social media, and I think it is really interesting. I’m going to share some posts from Chinese social media about the virus. As the most serious affected city, New York no longer being chaos. Citizens all stay at home and keep the social distancing. In the meantime, some of them figure out the way to relax. The boy sits on the roof, holding the guitar quietly, enjoy the blowing the wind, feeling the silent city, completely immersed in his own music world.

  One World Together At Home

  Probably most of us saw the propaganda on our social media. The event was co-planned by Lady Gaga in conjunction with WHO and Global Citizen Global Citizens Organization. It aims to help unite and inspire medical personnel in this special period, and to increase support in combating the COVID-19 virus epidemic. There are several world-famous celebrities attend this concert, such as Tylor Swift, Jennifer Lopez, Lizzo, and Celine Dion. Despite those, there are some artists from Asia also involve in this event. The concert will include celebrities’ speech, video recording, and performance. Besides that, every country will share their current situation to the world. Most celebrities use limited resources to do their performance. This is a really amazing moment in a year that everyone is connecting to each other, regardless of where you are. The concert was held remotely, and every celebrity does the performance at home. At this moment, everyone is doing their best to overcome the virus. Most of my friends look forward to this event that shares the moments they love during the concert. I saw some celebrities do the online streaming in their bedroom, with the messy bed as background. Everyone is facing the same situation and have the same goal to make the world back to normal. Together! Stay home!

  Staying at home: Big Change

  Every day when I open my eyes, the first thing I do is open my phone and check my social media. Weibo, a major tool for most Chinese to get the news, shares the tendency of the virus in the first place. As a study abroad student, I got messages from my friends every day to check if I’m okay. I got the message from one of my best friends yesterday to ask if I need some supplies that he can deliver. My parents made a phone call every day to check my status. Every time I got the phone call, I would hear similar words from my parents. For example, stay at home and wash hands frequently. I strictly follow their instruction. I noticed until the day I wrote this journal, the number of people affected in America has reached 570,000. The number may be the reason why everyone is asking me. The number has increased every day, and I saw a big change in the place I live in. The building I lived in announced that all the delivery no longer can send to the apartment. All the delivery will leave at the front desk. Then, a new announcement came out in the following two days, that there will be someone to send to the doors. In other words, in order to protect everyone, the residences no longer need to go down and pick up their delivery; Instead, a team member will deliver them to the door and wearing masks and gloves. Besides, the elevators only can take four people in time to keep the social distancing. I think all the policies are really responsible and careful to all the residents. I went to the supermarket this week, as the first time I went out after staying at home for three weeks. I went to H Mart, a Korean supermarket near the place I lived. I was surprised that it also did a really good job of preventing the virus. The market controlled the number entered and lined up all the customers outside. The security will ask all the customers to keep the distance from each other. When I entered the market, and employees gave me a pair of gloves. There is still sufficient food in there. At the checkout, there is a transparency board that isolated the cashiers and customers. This is what I experience this week and share those in my journal. I hope everyone stays healthy!
