A few days ago, "escape from Shanghai" and "farewell to Shanghai" have become hot topics in the mainland public opinion field.
The reason for the incident is that with the epidemic under control, on May 16, Shanghai gradually increased the number of trains arriving and departing from Shanghai Hongqiao and other stations by means of resuming operations or adding more trains. The travel demand of Shanghai has exploded rapidly, and thousands of people have tried their best to flock to Shanghai Hongqiao Station.
According to information on the mainland Internet, Shanghai Hongqiao Station is crowded with people, and the number is comparable to that of the Spring Festival. Some people even sold train tickets from Shanghai at a substantial price increase by means of online ticket grabbing.
Since Shanghai has not officially lifted the blockade, there is very little public transportation. The people leaving Shanghai are really trying their best to get from their residences to the train station. Some people can only walk, some people ride shared bicycles and carry heavy luggage. self-awareness.

At present, Shanghai has only resumed some trains leaving Shanghai, and there are still so many people scrambling for it.
It is conceivable that with the official unblocking of Shanghai, it is estimated that more people will choose to leave Shanghai.
It should not be overlooked that many of these people are not permanent residents of Shanghai. They came to Shanghai purely for business trips, tourism, family visits, transfers, studies, or short-term affairs, but they had to stay in Shanghai because of the closure of the city. Gradually return to normal, and naturally choose to leave.
But in addition, many people were hit by the epidemic and the city closure, or years of hard work were in vain, or they were disappointed and disheartened by Shanghai.
Once upon a time, they came to Shanghai with the hope of pursuing a better life, working hard for their dreams, and being full of ambition. However, after experiencing major changes in the epidemic and the closure of the city, their perceptions of Shanghai and life have changed, and they can't wait to leave Shanghai.
All this is actually to be expected.
As a mega city with a population of 25 million, Shanghai gathers people from all over China and the world, who start businesses, work, study and live here.
When there is no epidemic and the city is operating as usual, even if many of them cannot live peacefully and live in a stable world, they can at least maintain a normal life.

However, too many things have happened in Shanghai in the past month or so. Some people are short of food and vegetables, living materials and daily necessities are in short supply, some people unfortunately passed away because they were unable to seek medical treatment in time, and some people's work and livelihood were severely affected.
In an ordinary year without an epidemic, people would leave and come in every year in Shanghai, not to mention that many people left Shanghai with regrets and disappointments in the face of such a major epidemic and the impact of the city closure, which is expected.
It should be seen that those who have regrets and disappointments are not only those who chose to vote with their feet to leave Shanghai. Among the vast majority of those who will still stay, there are many people with negative emotions.
After all, during the closure of Shanghai for the past month or so, there were too many chaos and problems, and the impact on the normal life and economic and social development of many people was too great.
Although the joys and sorrows of human beings may not always be the same, as long as they are concerned about current affairs in mainland China and have a little empathy, they should be able to feel the anxiety, boredom and disappointment of the Shanghai people to varying degrees in the past month or so.
It is undeniable that from the perspective of reducing the number of people infected with the new crown epidemic and reducing the mortality rate, considering the big account of China's epidemic prevention, the epidemic prevention in Shanghai, which has achieved social zero, is a success. Shanghai people use self-sacrifice and sacrifice for all. The Chinese, especially the tens of millions of elderly people who have not been fully vaccinated, have blocked the hole in the new crown virus.

Under the background of the stronger spread of the new crown virus, the increasingly divergent views of the mainland society on the epidemic prevention model, and the continuous emergence of the side effects of strict epidemic prevention, it is not easy for Shanghai to achieve the goal of zero, and the cost and cost are not too big.
But there are two sides to the matter. In addition to epidemic prevention and accounting, the plight, suffering and depression of ordinary people in Shanghai who bear the cost of strict closure and control, and whose normal life is disturbed, are also important aspects that should not be ignored.
How should they build their expectations for the future development of Shanghai and their confidence in their future life?
People's confidence and expectations have always been an indispensable basic condition for the sustainable and healthy development of a society.
Shanghai is not far from unblocking. How to soothe the hearts of Shanghai people as soon as possible after the epidemic, so that they can rebuild their confidence and expectations, is becoming an increasingly important proposition in Shanghai at present.
Shanghai has long been a metropolis with the best ethos, and it has been a model student of epidemic prevention before the closure of the city. The current experience and difficulties are more like a period of pain.
How to get out of the pain period as soon as possible, let the economic and social development return to normal, let the people be full of enthusiasm, and look at the wisdom of those in power.
Written on the occasion of Shanghai's rapid unblocking: China should take turns to block cities to prevent epidemics relying on Hu Xijin: China is exploring the "progressive version" of dynamic clearing, how can Beijing and Shanghai be repeatedly closed and controlled to ask Shanghai's epidemic prevention: the bottom line of the rule of law must be adhered to
