Basically we have all gone home at this time in previous years.
Because this is the Flower Fair now, the construction period here is also relatively tight, because there is another cause of the epidemic, we can't go back now, now because of this project (construction).
[Explanation] Meng Qingli told reporters that at the critical time of the construction of the Expo venues, in order to complete the construction on time, he and other workers have chosen to stay in Shanghai for the New Year, and they are also actively responding to the requirements of epidemic prevention and control.
Meng Qingli revealed that the project department will also prepare a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner and festival activities for them, which also made him and his workers very looking forward to it.

The project is still relatively good now. In addition to our wages, the project also gives us subsidies, with an additional 700 yuan per person.
(New Year's Day) There are also activities a few years ago, such as gatherings and making dumplings.
(During the Chinese New Year) The atmosphere for participating in the construction of the Flower Fair is still very good, and it is still very meaningful.

On duty around the Spring Festival, all construction workers and management personnel should be at ease on site, so we also prepared condolences and New Year's Eve dinner for them, and there will be related management personnel in teams to arrange the New Year's Eve dinner for these construction workers.
Although it is for the entire Flower Fair and for the prevention and control of the epidemic, of course they will organize some activities during the break, such as watching movies and a moderate half-day trip on Chongming Island.
[Commentary] Liu Quanping, the project construction team leader of the Shanghai Chongming Flower Expo Park, introduced that while implementing the epidemic prevention and control work during the Spring Festival, the construction of the Flower Expo venues also took into account the requirements for the promotion of the entire Flower Expo venue construction work. On the basis of this, nearly 2,000 construction and management personnel were arranged to stay at the Flower Expo Park during the Spring Festival to promote the construction of the Flower Expo venues, and a subsidy of 1.4 million yuan was arranged to reward the workers and management staff who stayed behind.
In addition, there will be a three-day holiday during the Spring Festival, and the construction of the venue will continue on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year. It is expected to be completed before March 20, 2021, leaving ample time for the opening of the Flower Expo on May 21.
