Zhang Jiayi recalled that he was awakened in his sleep by the sound of gunfire outside, learned that there had been an explosion in Kharkiv, and after the gunfire stopped, he and his roommate went out to purchase enough water and supplies to support him for two weeks as a reserve.
After the Kharkiv explosion, Zhang Jiayi's WeChat group of Chinese students often popped up with new messages, "Most of the students in Kazakhstan have chosen to go to the air raid shelter to avoid the explosion, and the sound of air defense sirens has been echoing above Kharkiv, reminding people to go to a safe place to take refuge." ”
In the early morning of Beijing time on the 25th, the Chinese Embassy in Ukraine issued a notice: At present, the domestic situation in Ukraine has deteriorated sharply, and my citizens and Chinese-funded enterprises in Ukraine are at a high security risk. In order to prepare for the return of charter flights in batches, personnel registration is now open. On a voluntary basis, the charter flight dispatch time is determined according to the flight safety situation, and there will be advance notice at that time, and the registration time is until 12:00 p.m. local time on Sunday, February 27.

Zhang Jiayi told reporters that he and other students studying in Ukraine have completed registration and are waiting for the specific time to evacuate overseas Chinese.
When asked if he would return to Ukraine to continue his studies after the conflict ended, Zhang Jiayi admitted that he would look at the situation, because the incident was sudden, and the family hoped to return to China first and then consider other things, and safety was the most important.
