Xintiandi during the epidemic
By:Huang Ziling   |  From:english.eastday.com  |  2020-02-18 09:28

As the battle against the epidemic is still intense, citizens choose to go out as little as possible. Xintiandi, which is ordinarily crowded with people, has been somewhat desolate recently.

In the Xintiandi commercial circle, a sculpture wearing a mask draws the few passersby’s attention. In fact, it is an ornament of a bar. According to a clerk in a nearby shop, the mask was put on by a male citizen yesterday in order to call for the public to strengthen their awareness of health protection. In the clerk’s eyes, the performance art is very creative.

The Spring Festival fair stands, which were set up before the Lunar New Year’s Day, has not been pulled down. Only patrols are on guard.

Cleaners are still at work. Although there are only a few tourists, the sanitation work cannot be stopped.

A car with a Hubei license plate is parked on the side of the road. A piece of paper is pasted on the car window, which says: “I am a Shanghai citizen, and I have never been out of Shanghai. The car has only been used in Shanghai.”
