Virtual Everything

Although the Covid-19 situation is much better in China, we are still unable to work as usual. Most colleagues of mine come to the library for flexible working. I have attended quite a lot of online meetings, exhibitions, interviews, etc.

Technologies have developed so that we could have online meetings even in ten years ago. However, it seems that few people like online things and the equipments were not used frequently.

The pandemic have forced us to use IT technologies and reduce face-to-face communications.

Our life, even the future of the world, is changing.

Life during the Special Period of Time

Since the end of January, we had to stay at home for about 100 days.

What I did during that period of time is to listen and practice music, to read book, to clean my room and office and to cook.

I have tried every dishes I can, and learn new dishes.

Sometimes, I went to my office, which is next door to my home, and sometimes attended online meetings at home.

Since early May, we began to work every afternoon. We are preparing to work full day perhaps in June.

It is a very special period of time in my lifetime.

Daily Life under the Shadow of the Virus

We began our long holiday on January 24 (Chinese lunar new year eve), and then the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) broke out.

The holiday was prolonged, and then we have to work at home.

I have been very busy, and didn't spend much time with my family. Now, I can spend time at home, and clean the rooms, repair electrical and plumbering equipments, read books, practice musical instruments, cook different dishes, etc., everyday.

Of course, the library is still closed.

I hope it will be better soon.
