What we do for an unusual Spring Festival
Guo Jianhui, 37, customs officer
Current location: Baotou, Inner Mongolia autonomous region
Hometown: Tianjin
Due to the epidemic and the demands of my job, I didn't hesitate in choosing to stay put for this year's Spring Festival.
This year, I need to start working on the third day after New Year's Eve, so I want to cherish the limited off-duty days to accompany my son. On New Year's Eve, we'll cook dinner ourselves. We'll definitely have seafood, and some local beef and mutton, and we'll send our greetings to our parents and relatives in Tianjin via video calls.
The customs work is special. Sometimes we have to stay at the port for a month. Ports are the gates of a country, so we must keep cautious all the time, and no errors are allowed.
In the coming Year of the Ox, I wish we could defeat the virus and win the battle against COVID-19 soon, and I also hope my family can be healthy and happy.
