[Explanation] Taking orders 24 hours a day, eating and sleeping are all done in the car... This is the daily routine of the car-hailing driver Sun Zhi for two months after the current round of epidemic in Changchun, Jilin.
On the evening of May 15, Sun Zhi took a nap when there was no order, and a good state could allow him to work until dawn.
In mid-March, after Changchun stopped all non-essential flows in response to the epidemic, 38-year-old Sun Zhi voluntarily signed up to serve as the first batch of "emergency security work vehicles" drivers to pick up citizens with urgent travel needs.

This (order) order is relatively scattered.
It's not about fixing a place.
The main fixed places are mainly these hospitals, which were our main pick-up points at that time.
[Explanation] At that time, Changchun citizens could make online reservations by dialing the 95128 taxi e-hailing platform or logging into the UnionPay Cloud QuickPass APP's "Taxi Travel" on their mobile phones, and some vehicles provided "point-to-point" pick-up and drop-off services 24 hours a day.
Sun Zhi said that he will pay attention to these two platforms at the same time, and at the busiest time, he received more than a dozen orders a day.

That day was from 4:00 in the morning until about 2:00 in the middle of the night. One day was indeed a long time, because there was a rush to the hospital (order) that morning, so we went to the hospital, and then we were picked up at the hospital. One order is to go to and from each hospital and each home.
[Commentary] The two-month "car life" is still very challenging for Sun Zhi.
Among them, the most difficult thing is to solve the problem of eating.

Before, I brought some things at home, but later on, we had to go to the place where the supply was guaranteed. We bought bread, instant noodles, and sometimes (without hot water), we had to chew the instant noodles dry, which was very difficult.
[Explanation] When spring and summer meet, the night in Changchun is still very cold, and Sun Zhi has to sleep with the warm wind on.
Even with several layers of quilts on the back seat of the vehicle, Sun Zhi still didn't sleep well.
He said that what he misses most is the warm bed at home.

The first thing I miss at home is the relatives and children at home, and the warm bed at home.
This is more like (miss).
It's really unpleasant to be in the car for so long.
