There are no crowds in previous years. This year, Wuhan University cherry blossoms ushered in the most lonely bloom.
On March 18, the cherry blossoms of Wuhan University bloomed as promised, with trees and flowers. This year's Wuhan University is crowded with people, and the beautiful cherry blossoms bloom alone in spring.

On March 19th, the cherry blossoms of Wuhan University entered the flowering period. Blossoming white cherry blossoms cling to the branches, forming a meandering cloud belt, which contrasts with the blue-cyan glazed tiles and vermilion window lattices of the old house.
Affected by the epidemic, during the opening of the cherry blossoms this year, the Wuhan University campus was strictly closed and closed to the public. The core area will be closed from March 13th, and the time for lifting the seal will be determined according to the flowering period.
Tourists rubbing their shoulders along the sakura avenue, as if pressing the "still button". At a glance, the 600-meter-long cherry tree avenue is hard to find, and the sound of birdsong and breeze sweeping through the leaves is clear in the ear.
There are more than 1,000 cherry blossoms in the university, mainly Japanese cherry blossoms, mountain cherry blossoms, weeping large leaf early cherry blossoms and safflower tall cherry blossoms. They are distributed in the cherry gardens, Kunpeng Square, administrative buildings, school hospitals, and the main teaching building of the Engineering Department. Among them, the cherry blossom avenue and Kunpeng Plaza are the most concentrated.

Under the epidemic situation, these hustle and bustle of cherry blossom viewing in the past are quiet.
The 36-year-old Ren Chao is an employee of the Security Department of Wuhan University. He is responsible for maintaining order and channeling people during the cherry blossom season, which is the busiest half month of the year.
He said that before the free-of-charge visit was implemented, there were more than 100,000 students entering the school on the peak day of the flowering season. "There are people everywhere, and it is difficult to take a single photo under the tree." In 2016, after implementing the real-name appointment reservation and limited-flow free cherry-blossom viewing policy, 15,000 people worked on weekdays and 30,000 people on weekends.
The March cherry blossom viewing in Wuda has become the slogan of the city's spring tour. According to Ren Chao, in fact, compared with Donghu Cherry Garden, the number and scale of cherry blossoms at Wuhan University are not large, but they are still loved by everyone, and may be inseparable from the century-old school's historical and cultural accumulation.
He often saw such a scene. Parents brought their children to enjoy the cherry blossoms. "Ask the children, does the flower look good? If you look good, study hard and get here." Ren Chao believes that everyone sees more than just cherry blossoms. Beautiful emotions pinned.

Under the epidemic situation, everyone's expectation for the spring flowers is even greater than ever, and the "love and hope" pinned on the cherry blossoms is getting stronger.
Wuhan University cooperated with the media to carry out a live broadcast of the "cloud cherry blossom viewing" network, and people have commented: "The cherry blossoms have opened, Wuhan is coming." "Spring is really here. I hope to stay forever. This epidemic blocking battle in China will be a victory!" Then, after the current difficulties, come to the Japanese leader and make another appointment next year ...
Hope is here. According to the data reported by the Health and Health Committee of Hubei Province on March 19, since March 11, the number of newly confirmed cases on a single day in Hubei has continued to maintain single digits, and the number of newly confirmed cases on the 18th has been zero for the first time. On the second day, the number of suspected cases was zero. With the improvement of the epidemic situation, Hubei except Wuhan has resumed production and work.
More than 3,000 medical staff who assisted Hubei were evacuated from Wuhan in batches from the 17th. There was no chance to see the cherry blossoms of Wuhan University, and it became a regret for some medical staff to "retrograde". To this end, Wuhan University announced that starting next year, it will open a reservation-free cherry blossom viewing green channel to support medical team members in Hubei and frontline medical staff and family members in Hubei Province for three consecutive years, and provide cherry blossom viewing services as much as possible.
Looking at the campus full of trees and flowers, Ren Chao said that the cherry blossoms are waiting for the crowd of people to see the flowers, just as people in this city are waiting for life to return to normal, "this day is not far away." (Finish)
