At the beginning of November, I returned to Guangdong from school for IELTS. It was a time when the control was strict. Because there were some infection cases in the area , my exam was postponed again. The white paper crisis also intensified. I was told a girl holding a white paper and standing in my school. There are more and more voices in my social media denouncing and supporting students. The night before, I was still lamenting the wave of voices with my friends. A few days later, the nationwide lockdown was lifted.On the way home, I was panicked and unprepared. I had no preparations, psychologically or materially. My feelings about my infection are no longer clear, but the overwhelming nothingness and strong impact overnight make me still uneasy.

omigosh. Is this ever published in English? I'm very sorry I cannot speak or read any Chinese.

But thanks for being on Substack!

Thank you very much! Fascinating to read about one year ago. Makes me think of the old French adage "Plus ca change, plus c'est la meme chose": The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Appreciate the link.
