China News Service, December 9th. According to the US "World Journal" report, during the new crown pneumonia epidemic, many Chinese chose to move out of California, one of the important reasons is to reunite with relatives and friends in other places, and even live together as much as possible.

The epidemic has caused a lot of life and death, which has also changed the minds of many people and cherish the daily gatherings between relatives and friends.

Long distance love can't bear the pain of lovesickness

　　Rachel, who works in Los Angeles, but her boyfriend works in New York. The two have been in love for many years. Before the epidemic, they enjoyed the sweetness of a long-distance relationship. They usually meet every other month, or Rachel flies to New York, or her boyfriend flies to Los Angeles. Sometimes the two will spend the weekend together in another city.

According to Rachel, the long-distance relationship that kept each other's space made her and her boyfriend feel deeper, without losing freshness, and they agreed to stay in the same city after getting married.

　　But the sudden new crown pneumonia epidemic changed Rachel’s mind. “We have only met a few times in the past year. Each time we met, we risked a great risk of infection to go to each other’s city.” Rachel also said. Since the epidemic, their respective social circles have shrunk, which has made the miss for each other even stronger. “I don’t have family in Los Angeles. I used to get together with colleagues and friends, but after the epidemic, I rarely play together. I feel lonely. Depression, no one can talk face to face."

　　After many discussions and discussions between the lovers, in October this year, Rachel decided to give up her job in Los Angeles and move to New York to live with her boyfriend. “The epidemic made me feel that the free life I enjoyed before is not so important, and Family and lover stay together more steadfastly, there are people who can talk and eat together at any time."

Isolate children at home and have no playmates

　　There are not many Chinese who choose to move out of California during the epidemic like Rachel.

Ms. Ding, who lives in Los Angeles, and her family of three moved to Denver in August this year. Ms. Ding said that one of the reasons for moving to Denver was to get together with the big family.

　　Mrs. Ding’s family members all live in Denver. When the epidemic was the worst, the five-year-old child had no playmates. The couple took the child to Denver and lived with the extended family for a month. “The son can live together in Denver. Brothers and sisters play together. It’s not like being lonely at home in Los Angeles. Our previous playmates stopped coming and going due to the epidemic. We wanted to live close to our family and relatives so that we could take pictures of each other. This is also the reason for leaving California."

　　There are many Chinese who share the same ideas as Ms. Ding. Ms. Dai of Arcadia, Los Angeles County also chose to sell a million-dollar mansion during the epidemic. The family lives in Chicago, and the two families live in the same city, so they can take care of each other.

Before the epidemic, Ms. Dai never thought that she would leave California.

　　In addition to choosing to leave California due to family reunion, many Chinese also feel that California housing prices and prices are expensive, and moving to some cities with relatively cheap housing prices can improve the quality of life. There are also some Chinese who feel that California’s policies have become more and more left-handed and indulgent in recent years. The legal system of misdemeanors has made public security deteriorating, which is also the reason why many people choose to move out of California.
