A green tin fence stretches across the intersection of Tianfu Second Street in Chengdu, and the originally smooth area is cut off into two spaces, inside and outside. Standing in the green enclosure, Chen Junyu, who works in a coffee shop on Tianfu Second Street in Chengdu, saw a colleague wearing a mask in the distance, waving to him, sending clothes and snacks through a gap of about 3 meters. The paper bag containing the clothes reads "we are family" in black signature pen, and a bright smiling face is drawn next to it.

On July 27, Chengdu added three new cases of COVID-19. On the morning of the 28th, Chen Junyu had just come to the coffee shop to work for less than 1 hour, and he saw in the work WeChat group that because of the needs of epidemic prevention and control, the café where he worked was listed as a sealed area. The lockdown will last until August 10.

"My place is just 5 minutes by bike from the coffee shop, but it's just outside the enclosed area." Chen Junyu recalled that after he first learned that the vicinity of the coffee shop had become a sealed area, he quickly calmed down, paying attention to the dynamics of the epidemic while calculating supplies. "There's only coffee to drink, cakes to leave for 2 to 3 days, and toiletries."

The first person to help Chen Junyu was Liu Min, a customer who worked at the nearby Sichuan Symphony Orchestra. After discovering that Chen Junyu was accidentally stranded, she and her husband brought Chen Junyu hot meals and a change of clothes. Subsequently, colleagues also sent him toiletries, small blankets, 84 disinfectant, alcohol, masks and other necessities.

News of Chen Junyu's accidental trapping in the coffee shop gradually spread through two WeChat groups of nearly 800 customers. Someone "fed" him mangoes and passion fruit; someone thought that sleeping on the sofa in the coffee shop every day was uncomfortable, telling him that "my family still has a room"; someone took the initiative to issue an invitation: "You are not convenient to take a bath here and wash it at my house."

In order to prevent the epidemic, Chen Junyu only allowed one customer to enter the store at a time, and the rest of the customers waited in line outside the store. When he is busy, he often works for more than 5 hours without rest. "These days, everyone's everything and every word can make me feel warm. As a foreigner, the city of Chengdu is my second home. Chen Junyu said that the coffee shop where he works is the only coffee shop in the nearby sealed area, and he feels "very accomplished" to be able to provide coffee to community residents at this time.

While being cared for by others, Chen Junyu also helps others through his own way. Recently, the temperature in Chengdu has been high, and Chen Junyu has specially made cold coffee and gave it to police and medical staff working under the scorching sun. "Afflictions see the truth. I think after the pandemic, people are more closely related to each other. In Chen Junyu's eyes, mutual help is the norm in the sealing area.

There are also many heart-warming little things like Chengdu's "coffee brother", which are staged in different sealing and control areas in China. An ordinary citizen who was isolated at home on Tianfu 2nd Street in Chengdu cooperated with his neighbors to adapt and compose the song "Tianfu 2nd Street Nine Times", in order to pay tribute to the frontline staff of the fight against the epidemic and the citizens of Chengdu who are united in fighting the epidemic and have a sense of humor and optimism. The material for the song mv is all provided spontaneously by people in home isolation, and there are orderly queues, temporary soccer teams under quarantine, and community workers waiting late at night for supplies to be received.

August 3 was the seventh day that Chen Junyu was trapped in the sealed area. After the coffee shop closed in the evening, Chen Junyu lifted a low chair, walked to the door of the coffee shop and sat down, blowing the night wind and listening to music. He said that although he was extremely tired after a day of work, he felt satisfied inside. After unsealing, what he wanted to do most was not to rest, but to stay and continue making coffee. "So many people have helped me, I want to make a good coffee to return to everyone." (End)
