From Dreaming of a Pig's Life to Realizing It's Not Easy

Niu Mama's Words

After experiencing these days, there are countless things to say, but I don't know where to start. I believe everyone, including me, never imagined that we would begin 2020 in such a way!

I wonder how many readers are fighting the virus up close. I can only silently bless every friend, no matter where you are, may you be safe and sound!

These days, there's a lot of anxiety and unrest on the internet, but also a lot of touching moments. A group of people is protecting another group of people. Thinking about this, I truly feel fortunate. We have a strong backing – these angels are risking their lives to protect us.

I heard from my restaurant-owning friend that on the first day of the New Year, she was sitting in her shop, facing the empty store, feeling very sad. We only paid attention to the spread of the virus and hadn't even thought about the potential damage to daily work.

Many might say that in the face of life, these things don't matter. But life must continue. What kind of life will we face after this disaster?

In critical moments, we must remain calm. During this special period, don't waste time, and don't be complacent. But don't over-anxious either.

As 2020 began, the world reminded us that surprises and the future are uncertain. The world is constantly changing, time never stops. When facing nature, we should have a sense of respect. Humans are not omnipotent, and neither are you an island.

Stay home and prepare in the best possible state, when returning to your work, use the best state to return all these things!
