esaay on life during lockdown
Answers
Answer:
I know that coronavirus is the reason for the lockdown — but did life in Wuhan have to become a living hell?
Why were we notified about the city lockdown at 2 a.m. on the second to last morning before the Lunar New Year?
Why have I not been given any instructions from a government officer about how to cope when an entire city is on lockdown?
I'm nearly 30 years old. My family members and I have devoted ourselves to our jobs to build a better life — and we have largely succeeded. There's only a little more to do before we reach the level of middle class.
But along the way, things did not go exactly as I'd hoped. I have been working hard in school since I was small. My dream was to become a journalist, and I passed the test to enter the best school for journalism in China.
After school, I learned that government supervision of the media meant that telling the truth was not an option. So I gave up my dream and turned to another career.
I kept telling myself that my hard work would reward me in my personal life. And to protect myself, I decided to shut up, to be silent about politics — even when I saw people treated unfairly by the government. I thought that if I followed that path, I would be secure, I would be one of the fortunate ones.
