China Overseas Network July 9 electrical problem: How to epidemic era, overseas Chinese and Chinese students respond?

  Since the outbreak of the epidemic, countries around the world have been affected to varying degrees, and various industries are experiencing "cold winter." But opportunities often breed in crises, and every group is making every effort to adjust, fight back, and actively play against the epidemic. With the normalization of the epidemic, how are the overseas Chinese and overseas students fighting against the epidemic overseas?

Overseas Chinese: Watching each other to help fight the epidemic

  Over the past few months, overseas Chinese have actively resisted the epidemic and donated anti-epidemic materials to the local area, which has been positively evaluated by government departments and relevant persons.

  Today, they still practice the principle of "viruses know no boundaries" and actively help people in need, especially vulnerable groups.

  Many Chinese people said that even today the epidemic situation is normalized, the epidemic prevention materials of the vulnerable groups are still very scarce, because they are most easily overlooked.

  After the United States gradually "unblocked" the epidemic in many regions rebounded.

  Some elderly people in the elderly apartment in Chinatown in Los Angeles did not change their masks for two weeks due to the severe epidemic, and medical supplies were scarce.

  When Ma Shurong, the founding chairman of the Los Angeles Chinese Overseas Chinese Association, was informed, he immediately joined the Chinese Consulate General in Los Angeles to donate epidemic prevention materials to the old people again, solving their urgent needs.

  Now that Australia has gradually entered the winter, under the double impact of the New Coronary Pneumonia epidemic and the cold, some Australians are facing a day when they have no food and no money.

  The Australian Chinese community came forward and contributed their strength to fight the epidemic.

  The "300 Blankets" founded by the Chinese and the Melbourne Ice and Snow Foundation jointly launched an "ice-olation" assistance program to provide food for the homeless and vulnerable groups, helping the vulnerable groups to survive the winter of the epidemic.

  So far, they have provided fresh food and basic staple food to 84 individuals and families in difficult life. Volunteers have distributed an average of 25 love bags per week.

  Anti-epidemic disease does not depend on age or form.

  Huang Shengfeng, a second year student of Singapore Overseas Chinese Middle School, with his excellent chess skills, participated in an online chess charity competition called "#棋艺防毒" to raise funds for vulnerable groups who were caught in a difficult situation due to the epidemic.

  At present, "#Chess Anti-epidemic" has been held for many rounds, raising a total of about 84,000 Singapore dollars, and the donations are used to help families in trouble due to the epidemic.

  In addition, since June, Chinese businessmen in Namibia have donated 1,410 "love food packages" and 300 quilts to vulnerable groups affected by the new crown epidemic; Donated food packages and living materials worth 100,000 rands; Singapore Chinese Aid Association funded the vulnerable families affected by the epidemic... .

Chinese businessmen: turning "crisis" into "opportunity"

  With the "unblocking" in many places, Chinese businessmen gradually resumed production and resumed work, but the epidemic caused many shocks to the economies of various countries, causing many Chinese shops to stop operating.

  Giovino gun shop is the longest gun shop in Chinatown, New York. During the epidemic, the high rents made him unable to make ends meet, and finally let this century-old gun shop delist and turn off the lights.

  The situation of Chinese businessmen in Las Vegas is not optimistic, and many merchants are left out.

  Liu Chengyu is the head of a footbath supplies wholesale company and has been operating and serving in the local area for 17 years.

  After resuming work, because there was no business to pay the rent, he had no choice but to withdraw from the local market.

  The situation of Chinese businessmen in Italy is also unsatisfactory. Since more than a month, they have basically been in a "half-resumption" state.

  Under the predicament, how Chinese businessmen can turn "crisis" into "opportunity" and pioneer and innovate are the key points to be considered in the post-epidemic era.

  The impact of the epidemic may change consumers' dining and entertainment habits, and many American Chinese businessmen have begun to change this.

  In Massachusetts, there is a long-established restaurant "Kowloon". The restaurant owner changed the parking lot to an open-air car cinema and provided a "food delivery to car" service.

  The New York City and City Transportation Bureau launched an "outdoor restaurant" program to help Chinese restaurants affected by the epidemic.

  Wang Xiaodong, the owner of "Wuchang Good Taste", a Chinese restaurant in Chinatown, applied to join the plan and put the table in front of the restaurant to advertise and gather popularity.

  In addition, there are Chinese businessmen in other countries who seek innovation in the epidemic. The Chinese restaurant owner in Melbourne, Australia, updates the menu once every three weeks in an effort to maintain the livelihood.

  In the current crisis, overseas industries and industries have also chosen Internet marketing, relying on Internet technology and social media.

  The Italian clothing factory owner Chen Zhengxi will use the "Internet +" platform, through the development of micro-business and original design, and cooperate with Taobao, Douyin and other e-commerce or live broadcast platforms to achieve the transformation and upgrading of Chinese enterprises in the post-epidemic era.

  Ni Dong, a Chinese who is engaged in tourism in Sweden, has taken a reinstatement method of transformation. He tried to do live shopping, mainly selling some Nordic health products.

  In his view, this "offline to online" way of resuming work will not only be among the Chinese community, but will also be a worldwide trend.

International students: "cloud" end

  The epidemic is on the upswing. From class to job search, many overseas Chinese students have started to live in the cloud.

  Because of the epidemic, international students are unable to attend classes at schools. Online learning is available in major universities, and students can "suspend classes without stopping." Online courses have become an effective means of imparting knowledge.

  Yang Haixia, an exchange student at the University of Florence in Italy, will study every time according to the teacher's pre-recorded online course schedule and study plan.

  During the outbreak, Xiao Xia, from the Department of Journalism at King Juan Carlos University in Madrid, Spain, stayed with Madrid's "distance learning" course this semester.

  In the current epidemic situation, some companies lay off a large number of employees in order to reduce operating costs, which is very unfavorable for those international students who are about to graduate.

  Jiang Ying, a recent graduate of Johns Hopkins University in the United States, participated in some written and interviews online, but the results were not satisfactory.

  She said that for the returnees, this year's job search performance must be more competitive than in previous years in order to get the desired position.

  Li Jingyu, an international student in the United States, said that she has taken crazy interviews in recent months in order to get a reliable job opportunity for graduation next year.

  However, under the circumstances that the epidemic has not been fully controlled, even if the interview is passed, I do not know whether I can go to work smoothly.

  In the post-epidemic era, for overseas students, although staying at home, they can still use the power of technology to strive for new knowledge and opportunities.

  At present, there is a "rebound" situation in the epidemic in many countries. Here, Xiaoqiao (WeChat ID:qiaowangzhongguo) reminds overseas Chinese and overseas students that the fight against epidemic is a continuous battle and must not be relaxed. Viruses are organic.
