Cover news reporter Zhong Yuheng intern Zhang Jia
Since April, Ms. Li (pseudonym), who works in Ruili City, Yunnan Province, for more than half a year, has done nearly 60 nucleic acid tests. Testing, isolation, and staying at home have become a part of Ruili people's lives. What bothers Ms. Li even more is that under the epidemic, the resumption of work and production has stagnated, which has seriously affected economic resources, and she has not been able to return to her hometown in Jiangxi for two years.
"It's too hard, and we don't know what to do. Those of us who are foreigners just want to do business well and enter ruili normally. Nucleic acid testing and vaccination we all cooperate. Ms. Li said that at present, even low-risk areas need to quarantine for 7 days at their own expense, during which they can leave three times negative for nucleic acid, and the number of places is limited and they need to queue, "most of the shops are closed, and the jade business is almost gone."
On the Internet, there are not a few netizens who encounter the same as Ms. Li. On the evening of the 28th, Dai Rongli, who had been the deputy mayor of Ruili, posted a call for "saving this heroic city", which instantly triggered network public opinion, and the news about this border town surged through media reports and netizen messages.
