Shanghai, 2 Nov (Xinhua) -- On the evening of 31 October, fireworks bloomed over the Shanghai Disney Fantasy Fairy Tale Castle, and at this time, the "Big Whites" who were busy conducting nucleic acid testing at the main entrance and exit of Disneyland could not help but raise their heads and look at the sky slightly out of their minds.
At about 18:00 on October 31, Shanghai Disney Resort issued an announcement through its official Weibo that, in order to cooperate with the new crown pneumonia epidemic investigation, Shanghai Disneyland and Disneytown will stop visitors from entering from now on. All visitors already in the park will need to undergo a nucleic acid test at the exit when they leave the park.
It was Sunday, and the rare sunny weather in Shanghai in late autumn, coupled with the colorful Halloween activities are being held at Disneyland, the cumulative reception of visitors in the two days of the weekend is close to the peak of autumn.
How to complete the nucleic acid test for tens of thousands of people as soon as possible in this bustling "Disney Night"?
When Ms. Xie, who was playing with her children at a scenic spot, found the push message on her mobile phone and was nervous. "Hurry up? Or watch the fireworks and then go? In a panic, she and the guests around her were guided by Disneyland public radio and cast members.
At this time, whether it is in the "backstage" of Disneyland or the "big whites" from many hospitals in Pudong, they have also begun to "race against the epidemic".
"Big White" originally referred to the robot protagonist in Disney's animated blockbuster "Super Marines", because of its large body and white body, Chinese nicknamed "Great White". After the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia epidemic in 2020, many Chinese love to use "big white" to describe medical staff wearing tight protective clothing, curing patients and passing on warmth.
"Slowly moving forward, until more than 9 p.m., the whole family finally lined up to the exit." Wow, at that time I was stunned, once I saw so many 'big white', just at this time the fireworks also 'came' as promised, me and the children were stunned, the heart was warm, warm, touched! Miss Wang, a tourist, recalled to reporters the mood of doing nucleic acid testing in music and fireworks.
"It's inevitable that some of the tourists will panic, and the first thing we do is calm. Fortunately, the theme music that the park has always played in a loop continues, and we are just as usual to maintain the order of the night out of the park. At this time, it is important to show the way out of the park as quickly as possible, introduce the steps of nucleic acid testing, help some people find lost items, and calm their fluctuating emotions. A Disney cast member revealed to reporters.

"Because it was Sunday, many police officers rushed back to work from home to reinforce the scene in time to maintain order." Jin Jianfeng, deputy director of the Public Security Department of the International Tourism and Resorts Department of the Pudong Branch of the Shanghai Municipal Public Security Bureau, said. In his view, the two grand "fireworks light and shadow shows" scheduled for the night were not temporarily cancelled, but carried out as usual, which to a certain extent also effectively realized the diversion of tourists and bought some time for the follow-up nucleic acid testing.
Tourist Ms. Xie later posted a personal recollection via the Internet. That night, when fireworks took off, park visitors were marching towards several exits in an orderly manner. Some tourists also choose to stay where they are, and then queue up at the exit to receive nucleic acid testing.
"Shanghai hold on!" "See the order, or the order!" "Confidence comes from professionalism!" At this time, the Internet has also "exploded the pot", a picture of Shanghai Disney's "net red" little fox Ling Na Belle and other images for reprocessing, calling on everyone to "go to nucleic acid testing", but also attracted many netizens forwarded. This also reflects the degree of refinement of Shanghai's epidemic prevention from one side, with a board and an eye, but also a warm humor.
The clock ticks forward, it is already early in the morning, and the visitors of Shanghai Disneyland have basically left the park. The mysterious Disney "backstage" is brightly lit, and thousands of Disney cast members have also conducted nucleic acid tests one by one according to the requirements of the government department. Some netizens left a message saying: "It's right! Little friends don't have to worry about Lingna Belle! ”
As for the Framed Pictures of Disney fireworks and "Big White" and tourists a few hours ago, they have been recorded by many enthusiastic people with videos taken with mobile phones and forwarded to the Internet.
"Thanks to today's unquenchable fireworks, let us see the calmness and confidence of mankind in the face of disasters." In the early morning of November 1, Zhang Wenhong, director of the Department of Infectious Diseases at Huashan Hospital affiliated to Fudan University, wrote on Weibo, "All tourists can now sleep peacefully, but countless of my colleagues will continue to work and complete all the standard procedures for prevention and control, just to make life better for this city and the people who pass through this city." ”
