On April 8, Wuhan reopened after 76 days of lockdown. As the hardest-hit city in the novel coronavirus outbreak in China, what have people in the city been through? How do they feel now? Let’s look at two students from Wuhan Foreign Languages School and listen to their stories.

 Tian Yutong, 14

Starting from Jan 23, I stayed at home and didn’t take one step outside from then on. In the first week, my family was kind of in a panic (恐慌). All delivery (快递) and take-out services stopped temporarily (暂时地). We were worried that we wouldn’t have enough supplies (物资), not to mention my favorite milk tea. Meanwhile, we were also worried about my father, who is a police officer. He had to go out every day for work. The whole family was enveloped (笼罩) in anxiety.

    Later, my mother went online to buy food and other supplies every day. We were able to get enough of them as we got used to our new lives. I learned tai chi from my grandma and took online classes. In March, I even joined our school orchestra’s (管弦乐队) “cloud performance” and recorded a song titled March of Steel Torrent (《钢铁洪流进行曲》).

    On April 8, when I heard the cars’ horns (鸣笛) again in the streets, I was very excited. I wrote a note to myself  – I want to be a doctor and save lives in the future.

Li Haiyi, 15

     Before the lockdown, my family went to my parents’ hometown in Caidian, a suburb of Wuhan. Villagers closed their doors and didn’t go out. Life went on quietly.

Luckily, our teachers helped us do eye exercises and offered psychological guidance (心理辅导).

     Gradually, life fell into a new routine. I studied online, went to bed and got up early. Every afternoon, I would run around the backyard for a while to strengthen my body. I wanted to be prepared for the coming entrance examination for high school.

More and more people in China are now showing parts of their lives to the world by videos on their phones. Some people send videos of personal events like holidays and weddings.

Using live streaming(网络直播) is particularly popular among the people aged 18 to 35. Even the teachers give lessons by live streaming. Besides leaving reviews on the screen, they can also communicate directly with the hosts by buying virtual(虚拟的) gifts such as flowers, toys and cars for them online. The most recent famous example was the Olympic swimmer Fu Yuanhui. She did one-hour live streaming which attracted more than 11 million viewers.

What’s more live streaming allows users to communicate with strangers and express themselves. A 19-year-old college student called Nic Li says she spends three to four hours each week chatting and singing with viewers through one app called Ingkee. “Sometimes I feel lonely and want to talk to people,” she says, “I feel nice when viewers are paying attention to me.”

However, there are worries about the misuse of live streaming. Papi Jiang promised to correct her unsuitable and impolite language after she was warned by the officials. As there are more than 80 apps and 300 websites for live streaming in China, the Internet regulator(监管机构) can hardly monitor the content all the time.
