Hairdresser Wang Lidan is making an emotional Lunar New Year journey from Beijing to her hometown in northeastern China.
BEIJING—Hairdresser Wang Lidan is making an emotional Lunar New Year journey from Beijing to her hometown in northeastern China—her first in three years after the government lifted its strict “zero-Covid” policy that kept millions of people at home and sparked protests.
“The restrictions are lifted, which made me relaxed. So I think it’s time to go home,” Wang said before heading into Beijing Train Station for a trip to Heilongjiang province. Many local governments had also imposed their own quarantine on travelers from outside the area, and it was those that Wang said had deterred her from leaving Beijing.
Hu Jinyuan, from the eastern province of Shandon, had managed to return home each year despite the hassles. He says he plans to continue with regular Covid-19 testing and other safety measures as infections surged and patients flooded hospitals following the lifting of restrictions.
