This year is indeed an extraordinary year. Because of the sudden epidemic, I plan to spend the Chinese New Year in Beijing this year, and it is the first time to celebrate the Chinese New Year in the mainland. Although there are many good friends from Taiwan, especially the mainland, who invited me to other places. (New Year), both in Shanghai and Jiangsu, but this year according to the requirements of Beijing's epidemic prevention and control, so I plan to experience this New Year atmosphere in Beijing for the first time.

But in fact, some of the epidemic prevention and control measures that my family has seen in the mainland are actually very reassuring to them. Just like when I first came back (last year), I didn’t need to say it. The epidemic prevention materials including masks are relatively sufficient. Recently, there is something I think I have greatly increased my confidence in Taiwanese family members, and that is vaccines. Now in Beijing, or in Guangxi and Xiamen, Taiwanese compatriots have begun to vaccinate. At present, Beijing is gradually Vaccination is in order to prevent and control the epidemic.
For example, our company has also accepted two visits in Xicheng District and Financial Street. Although I am a Taiwanese, I have passed my relevant documents smoothly. I should be able to get the vaccination soon.
[Explanation] On December 31, 2020, the State Council’s Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism held a press conference. Zeng Yixin, deputy director of the National Health Commission, pointed out that the basic attribute of vaccines is a public product. “It must be provided free of charge for all people. Major premise".
Huang Boxiang said that regarding vaccination, he also did a lot of homework in advance.

In fact, when we work in the mainland, we can see that in about a whole year, the first one is in order, the second one is highly (effective) in the government or various (departments) cooperation, and the third one I think Vaccines actually have a large base in mainland China, so I personally think that firstly, I am voluntary, and secondly, the enthusiasm of my colleagues to sign up is very high.

Hello, everyone, I am Director Xue (Xue Yinghu) from Wuhan, and I am from Taiwan.
Let me share with you, the health condition of the day after I went to get the new crown vaccine yesterday. The injection was so big when I first went to get the vaccine. It didn't feel much after the injection. To be honest, it was the same as a mosquito bite.
[Commentary] Xue Yingxuan has been in Wuhan for three years, where she is engaged in the director work she loves very much. The Spring Festival is approaching, and Xue Yingxue is still rushing for the final work of the upcoming movies. The Spring Festival will be spent in Wuhan. In his opinion, Wuhan, which was turbulent a year ago, is now one of the safest places in the world.

The situation and recovery in Wuhan this year are really unexpected. I often tell my family that Wuhan is actually the safest place in the world.
[Explanation] According to Taiwan media reports, in the past, about 100,000 Taiwanese working and studying in the mainland returned to Taiwan to celebrate the Spring Festival every year.
The Taiwan Straits Foundation and the Mainland Affairs Council recently estimated that only 20,000 Taiwanese compatriots will return to Taiwan from the mainland this year, which is less than one-third of previous years, and the number may drop.
[Explanation] Many students and young people working in the mainland also choose to celebrate the New Year in situ after measuring safety, economic costs and time costs.

This year, due to the prevention and control of the epidemic and the reduction of the flow of people, I plan to celebrate the Chinese New Year in Beijing. This is my first Chinese New Year in Beijing. In fact, they (family) are still very supportive, and they will not worry, because in fact, everyone in the world I know that the epidemic prevention is the best in mainland China, and the effect is also the best. In fact, it is safer here than in any other place.

I want to spend the Chinese New Year on the mainland. Due to the impact of the epidemic, cross-strait exchanges are very inconvenient, coupled with the high cost of exchanges, so I decided to spend the New Year here.
[Explanation] In the eyes of these Taiwan compatriots, in the past 2020, there were grief, laughter, seriousness, and gains. For the new year, everyone is full of expectations.
【Concurrent】Taiwan Youth Huang Boxiang
I think 2011 is a year full of hope. The first one is the post-epidemic era, and I also believe in these. After vaccination, it will gradually return to normal. The second one I have seen in mainland China. There are many opportunities, because I am working in a financial company and this year is the first year of the 14th Five-Year Plan period, so I encourage my younger siblings to come to the mainland to take a good look at this good time this year, of course, with the relevant permits of the epidemic. Look, because this year is the growth of domestic demand and the so-called external, which should go hand in hand, so under the new dual-cycle pattern, I think coming to the mainland, I hope that besides me, there will also be younger students. Find good opportunities.
