  An app that’s like Discord but made by a Chinese company

  Due to quarantine, the Chinese government have pretty much shut down the borders. In order to stay in touch with family and friends, this app is the only source to communicate with them. Although there are apps that are accessible for Chinese International students to get in touch with their friends, there are many harsh requirements in order to use it. Due to the relationship between China and the U.S., the app is no longer available for people in the U.S to use. You must have a VPN to bypass your ip address back to China in order to use it. During times like this, I hope both countries can put down any conflict they have and provide a better source for their citizens to access.

  Border Shuts down – extremely limited allowed people to enter China

  Due to the significant increase in the Covid-19 cases, the Chinese government have announced the new boarder law. Everyone who intends to enter China will now needs to self-quarantine at a nearby hotel for 15 days. However, you must pay with your own money. Due to the new law the Chinese government have announced, the number of flights to China significantly decreased, which caused costs to skyrocket for airfare. Many overseas Chinese students who had hoped to return to their hometown during this time were not able to do it, due to the significant amount of cost.

  The craziness that the quarantine brought us.

  During quarantine, all the cities are shut down in China. At my hometown, it’s only an hour away from Wuhan, you are limited with what you can do. You can not leave the community, and you can only shop during a limited time, which you also must get a pass in order to shop.The quarantine has brought us many inconveniences: we are no longer able to hang out or simply having a dinner date. However, quarantine is needed in order to prevent a larger spread in the world. If everyone were able to quarantine themselves for a certain amount of time, it will be faster for everyone to return back to their regular daily routines.

  A shift from physical course to online course

  During spring break, RIT have decided to shift the courses from physical meeting to online meeting. The shift from meeting course to online course is huge. After the shift, my sleep schedule tends to be a complete mess. The motivation for me to study is become less, and less impactful, as now, I tend to skip more online session. Instead, I will look more into Zoom recap, or simply Zoom records. Even my grade is still fine, I sill hope for an in-class meeting for my personal motivation.
