　　The 8-day Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day holiday is coming to an end. For Mr. Cui, a citizen of Changchun, Jilin, this is a "shrunken" long holiday because he spends half of his time attending the weddings of relatives and friends.

　　The outbreak of the new crown pneumonia epidemic has changed people's normal life rhythm, and it has even more impact on new couples who have plans to get married this year.

Chinese Lunar New Year and May were originally the peak seasons for wedding banquets, but due to the epidemic factors, "peak seasons are not busy" inevitably appear.

　　The "October" Golden Week holiday with suitable temperature and plenty of time has naturally become the first choice for weddings.

Recently, the topic of “23 wedding banquets during the 8 days holiday” has rushed into the hot search list on the Internet, and the popularity of weddings during the Golden Week of the “11th” can be seen.

　　During this long vacation, Mr. Cui's two colleagues held weddings separately.

They are all media workers. During the time when China’s fight against the epidemic was the most urgent, they went to various places in Jilin Province, went into fever clinics and isolation areas, and reported the real situation of local epidemic prevention and control in a timely manner. This was also to a certain extent. Alleviated the anxiety of the people.

　　At the wedding banquet of one of the new couples, when the host mentioned this past experience, people on the scene expressed their respect to the female reporter with applause, and some of them shed tears because of being moved.

　　It is undeniable that the reason why "Golden Week" can be transformed into "Wedding Week" is that the new crown pneumonia epidemic has been effectively prevented and controlled in China, and there have been no new local cases in China for several consecutive weeks.

　　However, even in such a good situation, all parts of China still maintain normalized measures to prevent and control the epidemic, in order to guard the hard-won results of the "epidemic" war.

　　Mr. Jin, who now lives in Changchun, also held a wedding recently.

According to custom, Mr. Jin's wedding banquet is to be held in his hometown of Shulan, Jilin Province.

　　In May of this year, this small county-level city in northeastern China had successively confirmed local cases of new coronary pneumonia. The risk level of the epidemic was adjusted to high risk, and it entered a wartime state.

Through the cooperative efforts of relevant departments at the national, provincial and municipal levels and local people, the Shulan epidemic was quickly contained.

　　Mr. Jin introduced that this time when he returned to his hometown to get married, he really felt the local responsible epidemic prevention and control measures. All guests attending the wedding banquet were required to show the green health code and undergo temperature testing. These measures made people feel at ease.

　　"The 2020 year of experiencing the epidemic is like a movie. After the gray opening, the ending will usher in a festive red." Mr. Jin said.
