China Overseas Chinese Network, April 22 Telegram: Overseas stays 丨 Back to South Korea, the school teacher sent me daily supplies
What is happening to the overseas Chinese in all countries as the new pneumonia epidemic spreads all over the world? China Overseas Chinese Network (ID: qiaowangzhongguo) specially launched a series of "Overseas Stays" series of manuscripts, telling the story of the "war epidemic" left by overseas Chinese. In this issue, Zhao Xiangyu, a Chinese student in South Korea, tells us about his left-behind life.
Because of the graduation exam, I returned to Korea early in April.
The South Korean airport under the epidemic was heavily guarded. After undergoing numerous inspections, I successfully exited the border.
Under the guidance of the airport staff, I downloaded the self-diagnostic APP with positioning function, and then I began to live in isolation at home.
According to the newly enacted bill by South Korea, from April 1st, all overseas personnel returning to South Korea are required to undergo unified segregation or self-segregation.

During these 14 days, you need to enter your body temperature twice in the self-diagnosis app every day, and someone will call you to check if you are at home and ask about your health.
Back in the dormitory by car, I started a 14-day life of self-isolation.
I was still worried about what to do with my 14-day ration. Once I got home, a Chinese teacher led several classmates to send me daily supplies. In addition to thermometers, masks, disinfection water, and wipes, there were many Snack drinks and various instant soup rice.

I am really touched by this. I want to thank the motherland, the school, the teacher, and the classmates.
In the next 14 days, in addition to reporting body temperature twice a day, the school will also send Chinese teachers and specialists to measure body temperature and ask about health status.

Although there is not much talk, and everyone is not very familiar with them, but they have brought me a lot of care and moving to the isolation of my home.
Because segregation can not go out to purchase, daily necessities need online shopping. My online shopping is fairly convenient. I can deliver the order the next morning, and the materials from the school are enough to eat, drink and drink for 14 days.

In addition to online classes, homework, and exam preparation, these 14 days, I also have video calls with my family every day, and talk with them every day about what I have done. In this way, I have a very fulfilling life.
The school sent a notice a few days ago that it would start classes in May, hoping that everything would go well by that time, and hope that the epidemic would end early, and everyone would be safe and sound.
