  A Long Way to Home

  I had never felt how long a journey to home can be, until this time. I took an 15-hour flight from western US to eastern China. I could not eat, drink, or use the lavatory during the whole time of flight to prevent myself from infecting COVID-19. Besides, I had to wear masks and gloves all the time. Those made me feel the time was going much slower than any other time. The only thing I could do was reading on my phone. I read the one of the best scientific fictions in the world, The Three-body Problem. The author says that "The human being had never been defeated because of weakness and ignorance, but arrogance." It is the same thing when we confronting the COVID-19, an unknown crisis in human history. The point is we cannot be arrogance this time. We have to be serious and do hour best to prevent it from spreading.
