On February 16, 2023, we achieved a significant and decisive victory, creating a miracle.
Correct, powerful, recognized, huge.
Perhaps it is a kind of luck to be in Shanghai and be involved in this historical vortex, and thus gain a unique life experience. The regret may be that I didn't enter the cabin, but only went to an isolation hotel as a close contact. Then, in the hotel's WeChat group, I realized the importance of "smoke" to "smokers" is greater than "food".
During those months, from my personal experience, there seemed to be no negative impact. The food was indeed difficult to get, but as I live alone, the consumption is not large. On the contrary, restrained diet helped me control my intake. Working from home also gave me more time to study cooking skills. During that time, under the guidance of Pinuo Wang and Wang Gang, I learned some pasta and even tried making Liangpi (perhaps it should be called Niangpi). Even in the rented building, because I participated as a volunteer during the epidemic, I also had some interactions with the local residents. As a result, I gradually gained new understanding of "nearby" and the surrounding environment.
In early February, listening to the annual award podcast of Zhan Kai Jiang Jiang (the episode has been taken down), guest Bomi mentioned "more tragedies, greater suffering, in exchange for a larger dose of forgetfulness". The Newsletter from News Lab also wrote, "Many public crisis events end in this way, quietly fading out of people's sight. Whether intentional or unintentional, conspiracy or tacit understanding, determination to move forward or unwillingness to look back, people seem to have thrown away the pain and confusion".
So, in 2023, I look forward to going out more and establishing a broad connection with the world.
