If I don’t experience this pandemic, I think I’m now spending the second semester of my sophomore year…Meeting with my friends in the spring of March, eating pizza and hamburger from the dining hall. Complaining about the tough math and piano lessons every day, and talking about this year’s new dramas and competitions… But no one knows that in 2020, many people’s meets will be postponed again and again… From the beginning everyone scolds people who eat “wild tastes”, to the end to learn how to exercise, make cakes and study online. From looking forward to the end of the epidemic and going out, to study at home, various software prompts buzzed in everyone’s life… The beginning of 2020 has caused everyone annoyance in a year that should have been full of meaning. Many people are clamoring: if 2020 can be restarted, I do! But we know in our hearts that there is no going backwards. I am so proud and proud. I would not know what “China speed” is without this pandemic. I would not know the “frontline” medical staff without this pandemic. How much admiration these two words are for me, if without this pandemic, I would not know how the village secretary’s drone propaganda is so close to the people. If without this pandemic, I’m a boy under the 18 year-old who will not follow the news every day, wonder to see my motherland, see Wuhan, and see if my hometown is “healing” a little bit. I know that China is sick, World is sick, and the world is now facing a big problem. But I also believe that under the blessing of such a united world, we will be safe and we will be well.
